Show notes

Aggressive Mediocrity has been offered the gig of a lifetime: a ten-city tour supporting a Go-Go’s tribute band! If Charlie had any family that cared about him even a little, they might be telling him he shouldn’t drop out of his college classes in the hopes that he’s going to make it big with his college-town cover band, but he doesn’t, which is why he’s not only planning to go, but thinks Joey should drop out and go with him, as his girlfriend. When she immediately declines, telling him HE should totally still go if he wants, he’s not trying to hear that, deciding at this pivot point in his life that he needs to stay in Boston and devote all the time he formerly spent performing with her. Out of absolutely nowhere, Civilization gets sold to a conglomerate with a lot of big plans. Audrey and Pacey are both worried that new manager Alex Pearl (Sherilyn Fenn!) won’t want to keep them around. Only one of them is right. Oliver and Dawson have rescheduled their meeting with the New York agent who might be interested in representing them; while Dawson is eager to practice how they’re going to approach it, Oliver believes being himself is the way to go, and if you’re not sure how that works out, you haven’t been paying attention. You and our latest episode on “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” are not worlds apart; you’ve got it right here!
