"Discovery"
Dawson and Joey find out that he accidentally left his
camera on while at the ruins and spotted Tamara having sex with some guy
on the tape. They tell Pacey and he freaks out. He later confides his
relationship with Tamara to Dawson and swears him to secrecy. Meanwhile,
he has been seeing her spending a lot of time with Mr. Gold, the film
teacher. He confronts her and asks her to choose between them. She tells
him that Mr. Gold is gay, leaving him feeling like a jerk.
Dawson sees his mother kissing Bob while at her station
working on his film. He spills his guts to Joey and finds out that she
knew all along. He blows up at her for not telling him and decides to
confide in Jen. He makes her promise that they will always be honest
with each other no matter what. She then proceeds to tell him that she
was really sent to Capeside to get her out of New York, where she had
become a fast city girl. His view of Jen as the perfect girl is shattered
leaving him distant with her and at a loss for words. Jen goes to Joey
to find out how to deal with Dawson in this situation.
Dawson doesn't confront his mother with the knowledge of
her affair, but decides to tell his father. He goes to tell him, but not
before his father tells him how great it has been to be with his mother
for 20 years. He can't muster up the heart to tell him and just wishes
him happy anniversary.
