Corrected entry: Drue's "date" is introduced as Anna Evans, daughter of Dr. Evans who is President of the Club's Board. Later in the episode when everyone is out on the 'double date', Anna is talking to Pacey and finds out he spent an entire summer sailing on a boat. She mentions that 'Her Dad could use someone like you, he's always looking for help sailing'. This sets up the future storyline where Pacey is hired on her Father's boat for the Summer. However, in the first episode of Season 5, we are introduced to a girl named Melanie Shea Thompson; who apparently spent the entire Summer on the boat Pacey was working on as the daughter of the owner. Somehow Anna Evans has become Melanie Shea Thompson.
Corrected entry: At the end of the episode, everyone gathers to have dinner with Andie as she tells them of leaving for Italy. Right at the very end-Dawson suddenly happens to have a very sophisticated camera mounted on a tripod for a group 'memory' photo. But when Joey runs into Dawson entering the restaurant before that, he mentions he was invited to have dinner with Andie alone. So was everyone else. Andie didn't announce her goodbye until after they had arrived, and Dawson couldn't have possibly known the other friends would be there as he thought he was having dinner with Andie alone. He also couldn't have known about her leaving Capeside ahead of time-as he only found out when she announced it at the restaurant. Therefore - why would Dawson suddenly have his best photo equipment and tripod on hand for a "group photo" if he thought he was having a private dinner with Andie and had no idea she was leaving, or all the other friends would be there? It makes no sense as the tripod implies he expected to take a "goodbye" group photo for Andie. But to his knowledge - it was just dinner with Andie. (00:42:10)
Correction: That was at his parents's restaurant, so he could have the camera there for some reason.
Corrected entry: Pacey and Joey are talking out on the dock, after they spent the night together. Towards the end of this scene, there is a close-up as Joey takes Pacey's hand and says, "Me too". At this moment you can see the name and location of the boat next to them, painted on the rear of the boat. Although the picture is a bit fuzzy, you can see that it says "Wilmington" under the boat's name, meaning the actual town in NC they are filming in, versus the fictional Capeside, Mass.
Correction: A boat does not have to stay where it is registered.
Corrected entry: During this episode, Jack and Grams supposedly fill out and turn in Jen's college applications. But in reality, this wouldn't be possible because most likely college applications would require Jen's actual signature.
Correction: How would a college know what her signature is suppose to look like, what would they compare it to if they wanted to check it?
Coming Home - S4-E1
Corrected entry: When Jen and Dawson are talking in the darkroom while developing his photos, Jen says, "The way everything went down last year. You know, how you found out and all", referring to Pacey and Joey's secret romance. However, Pacey and Joey didn't become involved until well into the Spring, and just before that same Summer. So it really wasn't last year, it was just a few months ago right before Summer break.
Correction: When school years are involved, it is very common to say last year when referring to events that happened the previous school year, even if it was not actually a year ago.
Coming Home - S4-E1
Corrected entry: When Bessie is questioning Joey about what happened while she and Pacey were on the boat for the summer, Bessie tries to get Joey to tell her whether or not she slept with Pacey by making reference to the fact that Joey left her high and dry last year. Joey left last season (season 3), which was 3 months prior to this episode, not last year.
Correction: Bessie says that Joey left her high and dry last June, not last year.
Correction: Actually, Melanie Shay Thompson is the niece. She states in that scene and when she comes back toward the end of the season that it's her uncle's boat.
