Meanwhile, when Pacey's (Joshua Jackson) childhood friends are too distracted by their own predicament to remember his all-important 16th birthday, he sets out to expand his horizons; and Abby (Monica Keena) convinces a downhearted Jen (Michelle Williams) to unleash the wild side she hoped had been left behind in New York.
