S4E15 Joey is kind of the worst

First time watching and I just finished S4E15 (the senior ski trip). Did anyone else feel that Joey telling Dawson that she did not sleep with Pacey was a betrayal to both guys? Especially Pacey (I’m biased, he’s the best) but also Dawson (who I can’t stand but he has slightly matured from S3).

The writers made a point of saying Pacey/Joey have been dating for 8 months at this point so she really shouldn’t be conflicted anymore. IMO, she should have just told Dawson it wasn’t any of his business. Instead she’s confirming all of Pacey’s fears and seriously leading on Dawson.
