Dawson and his XXXL outfit come into his room and turn on the TV and putter around. He opens the closet to put some things away and finds Joey inside. "What are you doing in there?" he asks gently. "Hanging with the flops," she mumbles with an arm-wave at the posters, and slumps onto his bed without looking at him as he asks, "What happened tonight, Joey?" "I wigged out," she answers, shrugging, and when he asks what’s going on between them she says, "I’ve no idea." Dawson apologizes for not adequately appreciating his perfect life and for acting like an "insensitive male," adding that he doesn’t want to lose her: "What we have is the only thing that makes sense to me." Then he says he thought she looked pretty with lipstick on; this pleases her, but he goes on to say that he ignored that thought and "it didn’t go any further than that," which he thinks she wants to hear, but which actually disappoints her. Joey sits up and says, "When I saw you going for Jen’s hand -- I mean, it’s, it’s not like I wanted to be the one holding your hand.
