Jen is the one that dies, I'm 100% sure. It's 5 years in the future in the last episode, she has a kid. It's not a sudden death, she was/is sick. So 1/2 the finale is everyone finding out about Jen getting sick and saying goodbye.

Yeah Joey was living in NYC (in the future) as a publisher/editor and has a boyfriend. But this doesn't stop the triangle from development. It's just one of many twists through the finale.

Dawson works on a tv show called "The Creek".

I'm about 70% sure (I'll check again) that the Dawson/Joey wedding thing is a dream sequence or something to that effect with Dawson trying to figure how things "should end".

Pacey is a bartender/owner.

Pacey goes around town trying to get area business owners in investing in Dawson's movie, to try and get his money back this way.

Jack (and Doug, Pacey's brother) are going to take care of Jen's kid after she dies.

I "think" the ONLY wedding in the Finale is Gale (Dawson's mom), this is the backdrop and an excuse to get everyone together in Capeside at the time

She mends fences for Dawson and Pacey, then decides to go to Paris after all (I think)

episode starts with Joey with boyfriend in NYC watching Dawson's tv show "The Creek" and arguing over who the girl should choose (the girl Sam - which is Joey), Dawson's character is Colby, and Pacey is "Petey". Anyway they say the classic lines, but now referring to tv characters instead of themselves like "she must choose Colby he's the soulmate" or "But Petey is the brooding type"

Everyone in Capeside hangs out. Then Jen collapses.
They go through all of that. Then you get teased alot about the Dawson-Joey-Pacey triangle. Dawson is trying to decide on an "ending" to his show "The Creek"

Well you are watching Dawson's show "The Creek", and it ends with COLBY and SAM together (Dawson and Joey).
Then it pans out from the tv, to Joey and PACEY sitting on the couch watching the show together (and they are together).
Joey wipes away a tear, Pacey teases her, and they both liked the show alot and call Dawson together to congradulate him.
And I guess Dawson finally got to meet Speilberg as well.

When Dawson gives up his dream of making his film, a strong-minded Joey rallies the old group back to Capeside to help Dawson begin production. Meanwhile, an unemployed and depressed Pacey won't be part of Joey's plan but becomes inspired to make sure Dawson has the financial support he needs to finish his film. Once production is up and running, Jen, Jack and Grams must say their goodbyes and leave for New York, and after her covert plan to reconcile Dawson and Pacey, Joey feels she is now is free to pursue her dream of traveling to Paris.

Five years have passed and everyone is reunited in Capeside for a special wedding, but the happy reunion is cut short after the group learns that one of their own has been harboring a heartbreaking secret. Since they were last together, Dawson has been living in Los Angeles producing his autobiographical television series 'The Creek,' but has never forgotten the love of his life; Joey is a successful book editor living in New York with her boyfriend (guest star Jeremy Sisto, "Six Feet Under") but comes home to realize she still loves her childhood sweethearts; Pacey is the owner of the new Ice House and still carries a torch for Joey, although he continues his pattern of getting into trouble with older women, including his newest conquest (guest star Virginia Madsen); Jen is a single mom living with Grams and managing an art gallery in Soho; and Jack is a teacher at Capeside High and has fallen in love with a secretly gay man.

Andie's return

Jenn, she is a single mom and it's a slow death from a heart condition, so there are plenty of sappy goodbyes in the finale

it is actually from her boyfriend in NYC, not from Pacey or Dawson

One is a dream sequence of Dawson's, and the other are clips from Gail's wedding (Dawson's mom)

His independent film that you saw in this past episode was a hit, and turned into a hit tv show on the WB called "The Creek". It's ofcourse a repeat of their lives. Actually has a couple actors "acting" out the scenes that you remember from early episodes with all the cheesy lines.

Owns the new "Ice House" bar/restraunt.

is living in NYC with her boyfriend and works as a publisher/editor

is a teacher at Capeside High

lives with Grams in NYC, is a single mom, works at an art house, and has a heart condition

For Gail's wedding

is the sheriff, and is gay and still in the closet, in a relationship with Jack, and they are going to take care of Jenn's kid together

Ofcourse dies, but is pivotal in sparking conversations from her deathbed. Dawson films a goodbye for her to her kid

well at one point Dawson ofcourse still loves Joey.
Jen is pivotal in sparking feelings from Pacey and Joey.
And at once point Pacey Joey and Dawson are together and Joey gets a call from her boyfriend in NYC and Dawson says:
"The TRIANGE has official become a Square", pretty funny.
Joey breaks up with her boyfriend over the phone.
Dawson is working on his tv show "The Creek" but is having trouble trying to end it. The characters are Sam (Joey), Colby (Dawson), and Petey (Pacey).
The first time Joey sees Pacey coming back from Capeside, "The Creek" is playing in the background.
Pacey replies "Our boy has done good", she says, that Pacey hasn't done bad himself.
There are lots of back and forth teasers from all angles and through Gail's wedding.
But.......................................There are a few Pacey/Joey kisses!

It shows "The Creek" on tv and the ending of the show, pans out to Joey and Pacey on the couch together in THEIR HOUSE, and they share a kiss. Then they call Dawson to congratulate him on the Show Ending.
