Dawson hat begonnen Olivers Drehbuch zu verfilmen. Schnell zeigt sich, dass das Skript Schwächen aufweist und Oliver ein ungeeigneter Hauptdarsteller ist. Als sich Dawson entschließt, die Rolle mit Charlie neu zu besetzen, muss er sich um ein weiteres Problem kümmern: Audrey beschwert sich über Charlies zudringliches Verhalten. Inzwischen zieht Jack nach einem weiteren Eklat aus dem Studentenheim aus. Joey gesteht Professor Wilder, dass sie sich zu ihm hingezogen fühlt.
Directing Oliver's movie is not an easy task. First, Dawson has to deal with Audrey's (who took the leading part) complaints about Oliver's kissing skills. Then he has to recast the other lead role after watching the footage and discovering that Oliver stinks as an actor. Now they have to find someone who can act, is hot, charismatic in less then 6 hours. They can't think of anyone but Charlie, who fits the profile like a glove (for Jen's desperation). During the shooting Audrey has a crisis and locks herself in the bathroom because she kissed Pacey and felt like she was betraying her best. They have to call Joey (who was over at Professor Wilder's house to solve their issue) for help, and after her blessing Audrey is back on the set so they can finally finish the shooting. Meanwhile, Jack is fed up with his brothers and decides to move out of the fraternity house after he and Eric have a moment and later Eric accuses him of trying to kiss him to the other guys.
