Summary
Why would the singer quit Charlie's band RIGHT before a big-break upstate gig they're getting paid decent money for? To give Dawson's Creek a pretext for Katie Holmes to sing not one but THREE pop songs, of course! Sigh. Audrey goes along because she wants to, and Pacey is convinced to drive her and Joey because he wants to keep fooling around with Audrey, then regrets it as soon as Charlie shows up, having overslept and missed the van with the rest of the guys. Cue posturing from both alpha males that can only be defused with Audrey's timely, uh, intervention. The gig does give Joey an excuse to miss a trip back to Capeside for Lilly's first birthday party, but Grams, Jack, and Jen are required to go with him, getting a front-row seat to Dawson's heartbreak when he finds out Gale has made a single dad "friend" named Nathan. This is terrible timing for Jen, who had already announced to Jack before they left Boston that she was planning to break up with Dawson, but now doesn't want to add to his pain.
