lingering feelings between the two), but the moment is interrupted when Jen collapses. It is later discovered that Jen has a deadly heart condition. The night she finds out, she and Dawson comfort each other. Joey, Pacey and Dawson each play important roles in Jen's last days. Joey comforts a distraught Dawson after he helps Jen film a video for her daughter Amy, whilst Jen insists Joey deal with her feelings and decide what she wants once and for all. Joey ends her relationship with Christopher. She finds herself at Pacey's restaurant and the two have an honest conversation. Whilst he is prepared to let her go, she stops him. Joey tells him that she loves Dawson, she acknowledges that he is her soulmate, he is tied to her childhood, a love that is pure, eternally innocent and necessary to her life. She also confesses her love for Pacey, which confuses him. They are interrupted before she can clarify. Joey visits Dawson at the Leery house, where he is crying whilst remembering Jen's first day in Capeside. The two discuss work, love, and life, and both verbalise the importance of their bond to their lives. Dawson acknowledges that whether or not they end up together - "In some ungodly way... its always gonna be you and me". Joey declares Dawson her soulmate, and as they watch her nephew and his younger sister play like Joey and Dawson did so many years ago, Joey tearfully tells him she loves him. He reciprocates, and through her tears she declares - “You and me, always.” They smile and cry, delighted that their childhood bond has survived the complications of growing up. —EPILOGUE— Weeks later, whilst watching the season finale of “The Creek” from Joey's New York apartment, it is revealed that Joey and Pacey have reconciled and are apparently living together.
