The Election - S2-E9

Plot hole: Season 2 picks up with everyone still in Sophomore year, which continues until the end of that Season. So we are presumably well into the Sophomore school year, and yet during this episode there are suddenly elections for the Sophmore President and Vice President. It doesn't make sense they would wait until this far into Sophomore year to be electing officers *for* the Sophomore year! Too much time has passed; normally elections like that would be held at the beginning of the year so the people elected can do their jobs longer, for the entire Sophomore year.

Suggested correction: As a suggestion: Most, but not all high schools are four years in length. My understanding is season one is actually their freshman year. Joey is debating going off to France. Season two begins, they shared their kiss, and must be ending freshman year approaching sophomore year in the next few episodes, meaning it isn't late at all to have class elections. Pacey, Dawson, and Joey all turn sixteen in season two, they had to have been barely sophomores.

Jen: What about you, Joe? Are you a virgin?
Joey: You kidding? Years ago. Trucker named Bubba.
