Trivia:

As the gang discusses their assignment on the Nixon-Watergate scandal, Jen tells Dawson she has finished watching the video she borrowed from him, "All the President's Men" and he asks her what she thought of it. She says she enjoyed it but her boyfriend, Henry, thought it was seriously lacking in cute teenage girls. This is an obvious nod to the movie "Dick," which came out around the same time this episode aired. Michelle Williams, who plays the character Jen, had recently starred with Kirsten Dunst in that movie, in which the two teenage girls are the ones who uncover the Watergate scandal.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Dawson and Joey have a discussion outside the library, right next to a monument/dedication rock that clearly reads "Wilmington, North Carolina" where the show is filmed, not "Capeside, Massachusetts" where it is set.

Quotes:

Joey: [voice-over] Ever had one of those days you wish you could live all over again?
