Jen's Creek

S2E2: Crossroads Dumpster fire Dawson forgets Pacey’s birthday, invades Joey’s privacy and suffers no consequences. Jen is still sad but her burgeoning romance with Abby makes Alice and Megan giddy. The co-hosts talk ethical non-monogamy and Megan confesses to accidentally reading her new boyfriend’s diary.

S2E1: The Kiss. In the season 2 premiere, Jen realizes she's a minor character on a teen drama and has a breakdown. Joey and Dawson engage in some bad kissing and upsetting heteronormative behaviors, Pacey and Andie have a meet cute, and Megan has a major water-related revelation. 

S1E13: Decisions. It's the season one finale! Jen loses her grandpa to a mystery sleep illness, Joey and Dawson dance around their "will they/won't they" plot line, and Pacey bribes a state official. Alice and Megan talk about a high school project they did on cotton for some reason. 

S1E12: Beauty Contest. It’s pageant week in Capside! Joey makes her infamous singing debut, Pacey becomes a reluctant advocate for men’s rights (at Dawson’s behest, naturally), and Jen and Joey share some intimate moments before Jen loses her g-d mind. Alice and Megan lament Capside’s rampant transphobia, share their advice for today’s youth, and Alice walks us through exactly what went wrong when Joey took the stage. 

On this week's spooky Friday the 13th(?!?) episode, Alice and Megan are thoroughly creeped out by causal reactions to intimate partner violence, face-touching, and men who don't respect women's explicitly-stated boundaries.

S1E10: Double Date. Jen *finally* goes on a date with cliff, and Megan swoons. Dawson worms his way in between them, and yells at her at the top of a ferris wheel. Pacey develops some unrequited feeling for Joey during a snail project, and Alice considers calling the cops on Mitch. Oh, and Megan and Alice realize how poorly this show does on the Bechdel test. Yikes. 

S1E9: Roadtrip. Jen helps Joey get revenge on a bro, and then share a SUPER ROMANTIC moment together. The Dawson and Pacey forget that Billy hates them, and the trio take the longest ferry ride ever. Alice reveals to Megan that she lettered in choir. 

Jen struggles to maintain good boundaries while traveling through a universe that does not obey basic laws of space and time in this bonkers episode written by 4 people who have apparently never studied physics or watched Dawson's Creek.

S1E7: Detention. Nothing happens in this terrible breakfast club rip-off and yet somehow everyone's lives are BURNED TO THE GROUND. Alice and Megan diagnose the school psychopath, explore whether romance is gendered, and make plans to play guess-my-butt.

S1E6: Baby. Alice and Megan think of 10,000 alternatives to letting a racist neighbor and three teenagers deliver your baby. They also start questioning the governance of Capeside, and why the Superintendent is ruling on child abuse cases. 

S1E5: Hurricane. Dawson is (not surprisingly) a total jerkface to Jen while Joey hides in the closet. Gail is forced to come clean about her affair with hurricane Bob, and chooses to do so in the most awkward way possible. Grams is casually racist, and the show doesn't deal with it at all. Doug LITERALLY PULLS A GUN on Pacey. Alice and Megan have lots of opinions. 

S1E4: Discovery. Jen comes out to Dawson about being a human being with past relationships and trauma, and Dawson is a complete dumpster fire about it. Gail gets super busted, and Joey blames Jen for her failure to communicate.

 Jen is 100% there for Joey when she tricks a sailing violinist into thinking she's a rich girl, and Dawson is the total WORST EVER. Pacey becomes a literary genius in the span of two hours. 

S1E2 of Dawson's Creek, The Dance. Alice and Megan discuss Jen's phenomenal boundaries, Dawson's controlling and inappropriate behavior, and a cameo from Mike's Saltwater Taffy!

Meet hosts Alice and Megan and find out what inspired them to start a podcast about the turn-of-the-millenium teen drama Dawson's Creek (Hint: It was all Alice's idea). Listen as the ladies breakdown the pilot episode and start to uncover the qualities that make Jen Lindley a queer feminist icon and the true star of the show.
