Ep 17. Psychic Friends

In Dawson's Creek season 2 episode 17, titled "Psychic Friends," the gang is introduced to a psychic named Madame Joanna, who is in town for a few days and offers her services to those seeking answers about their future.

Joey is skeptical of Madame Joanna's abilities and scoffs at the idea of astrology and tarot cards. However, her curiosity is piqued when Madame Joanna starts talking about her past and asks her about her father. Joey is taken aback as she never mentioned her father to anyone before and Madame Joanna assures her that she can help her connect with her father and find some closure.

Meanwhile, Pacey and Jen are dealing with their own struggles. Pacey is trying to figure out his future and what he wants to do after graduation while Jen is reeling from the news that her mother is coming to town. She is apprehensive about seeing her mother again and doesn't want to confront the painful memories from her past.

Dawson, on the other hand, is preoccupied with his film and is struggling to come up with a concept for his next project. He seeks Madame Joanna's guidance, hoping to find inspiration for his film.

As the episode progresses, the gang becomes more open to Madame Joanna's abilities and starts to seek her advice. However, things take a turn when Madame Joanna accurately predicts a major event in one of their lives, leaving them all shocked and skeptical.

Throughout the episode, the gang grapples with the idea of fate and whether or not they have control over their future. Joey struggles with the idea of reaching out to her estranged father, Pacey starts to take steps towards his future, and Jen finally confronts her mother.

In typical Dawson's Creek fashion, the episode ends on a poignant note, with the characters reflecting on their experiences and the lessons they've learned. "Psychic Friends" is a thought-provoking episode that explores the complexities of fate and destiny, and how our choices shape our future.
