S1E12 - Beauty Contest (aka now you see, Dawson?!!)

Joey enters a beauty contest purely to assist in funding her higher education (which is a whole thing we get into) but instead wins a newfound confidence along with Dawson seeing her in a new light. Meanwhile, Jen focused so much on helping Joey win, that she may have lost Dawson in the process. Also, Pacey's there. In the beauty pageant. Just doing his best.
