Paolo shows up at the massage shop where Phoebe works and he
comes on to her while Phoebe gives him a massage. Phoebe
doesn't know whether to tell Rachel or not, but after Ross'
encouragement (which is extremely self-motivated and
self-serving) she tells her. Rachel breaks up with Paolo and
announces that she wants nothing to do with men for a long

Carol has found out the sex of the baby, but Ross doesn't
want to know, despite everyone around him finding

believe in evolution, which bothers Ross enough that he feels he
has to convince her of the theory. Rachel and Monica inherit all
of Mr. Heckles earthly possesions; while clearing out his
apartment, they discover that Heckles was quite a funny guy in
his time. Chandler is upset to find how much he has in common
with Mr. Heckles, and in his determination not to die alone, he
calls Janice... only to find out that she's married and pregnant.
While trying to decide which of Heckles' things to keep, Rachel
realizes that Monica doesn't consider the apartment to be "their"
apartment.
</synopsis>
<synopsis source="warner">
Mr. Heckles dies and leaves his "estate" (which consists of
a bunch of junk, much of it stolen from our gang) to Monica
and Rachel. Rachel wants to keep an ugly lamp and Monica is
against it. Rachel accuses her of still thinking of "their"
place as "her" place and, when Monica accidentally breaks
the lamp, Rachel's point is made --that is, until Monica
replaces it with an equally hideous clock which Rachel had
also admired. Meanwhile, Chandler, in thumbing through
Heckles' yearbook, realizes he is living the same life
Heckles did and becomes terrified that he, too, will end up
alone because he is too picky about women's superficial
flaws. After he stoops to calling Janice (which, luckily,
doesn't lead to anything, because she is married and
pregnant), the women convince Chandler that he's no
different from the rest of the men on the planet, which
makes him feel much better. And Phoebe lets it slip that she
doesn't believe in evolution, which drives Ross nuts, so he
keeps trying to make her change her mind.

Phoebe turns out to be married to Duncan, a gay friend who needed
a green card. Phoebe did love him, and finds those feelings
returning. Now (six years later) he's back and needs a divorce.
Turns out he's not gay, and is getting married to someone else.
The revelation of Phoebe's secret marriage prompts several other

Monica's, from when she had sex with Fun Bobby on the terrace;
Chandler has a third nipple; Joey was in a porn movie (which they
then watch). Ross is nervous about the prospect of having sex for

is rumored to have a "twinkie" in the city. (The men at the
party want to hear graphic details, especially Mr. Geller!)
Dr. Burke (also known as Richard) and Monica eventually
confess that Monica is the "twinkie." And Rachel and Phoebe
are going to get tattooed; then Ross says he thinks tattoos
are gross, which prompts Rachel to re-think it. Phoebe
persuades her not to let "Ross be the boss," then Phoebe
herself chickens out. Luckily, Ross is surprised to find
that he thinks Rachel's tattoo is really sexy.

Chandler's roommate, Eddie, begins to show signs of instability:
He's obsessed with his ex-girlfriend; he accuses Chandler of
sleeping with her, and of killing his fish. Richard wonders how
many men Monica's been with, after Phoebe announces that it's
been "a lot." This leads Ross and Rachel to a similar discussion.
Monica has Richard sleep over on the same night that Rachel has
Ross sleep over. Unfortunately, there's only one condom in the

In an interview in Soap Opera Digest, Joey mentions that he

out of the show by dropping him down an elevator
shaft. Joey's too embarrassed to tell his friends, so they
find out by watching the episode. They're disappointed he
didn't tell them, but supportive that he will get another
job soon. Meanwhile, Chandler realizes his new roommate,
Eddie, is a complete psycho. He accuses Chandler of having
sex with his ex-girlfriend and killing his fish, then steals
the insoles from all of Chandler's shoes. And Phoebe lets it
slip to Richard that Monica's been with a lot of
guys. Richard tells Monica he only sleeps with women he
loves, which means he loves Monica! She goes to the bathroom
to get a condom and she and Rachel have to "flip" a condom
to decide who gets the last one because Rachel (having made
the mistake of mentioning "animal" sex with Paulo to Ross)
is now about to have "animal" sex with Ross, and there's
only one condom left! Rachel wins the toss but when the two

Phoebe read a female empowerment book, Be Your Own Windkeeper,

While getting his nails done, Chandler runs into Janice--newly

Although Janice believes him, he's not home free yet... she won't
leave his side until he's on the plane and taking off. Monica
obsesses about an electrical switch that apparently doesn't do
anything; after tests, blueprints, and demolition work, she
finally gives up. Ross meets some of Emily's friends and gets

glasses. Chandler is engrossed in a high speed chase being
broadcast on TV, and grows more irritated with each room
Monica turns down. He and the bell hop bond over the chase
while Monica scours each room for faults. When she finally
settles on one, Chandler discovers that the chase has ended
and he missed the explosive ending. The two are at odds with
one another, and the weekend is cut short as Monica storms
out. Returning home, Chandler tells Joey his conference was
terrible, although he did see Donald Trump waiting for an
elevator. Joey later confronts Chandler when the hotel calls
and says an eyelash curler was left in his room. After their
lousy weekend, Chandler figures their romance is over, but
Monica tells him it was only a fight, not the end of their
relationship. Everyone is gathered at the girls' apartment
when Phoebe asks Monica about seeing Donald Trump waiting
for an elevator at her convention. Joey gets a quizzical
look on his face as he has a deja vu moment, feeling like he
heard that same thing somewhere before. Then Monica asks to
borrow Rachel's eyelash curler since she lost hers. Joey
finally puts it all together and his eyes go wide as the
realization hits him. Chandler instantly pounces on him and
drags him into Monica's bedroom before he can utter a
word. Monica follows close behind, and she and Chandler
struggle to convince Joey that he can't tell anyone. He
reluctantly agrees and the secret remains safe.

Whilst rummaging in the apartment's storage room, Monica and Rachel

</synopsis>
<synopsis source="warner">
While Monica and Rachel are searching for the mini-waffle
iron in their storage room, they are startled by a
strange-looking wilderness man with a long beard and shaggy
hair. Believing him to be bigfoot or a yeti, they unleash
the bug fogger on him and flea the scene. Telling their tale
of danger to the gang at the coffee shop, Joey tells them
they just fogged Danny, a new tenant in their building who
just returned from spending two months trekking around the
Andes. The girls shamefully return to the apartment and go
to apologize to Danny. He seems reluctant to accept their
apologies which eggs them on further until they finally give
up, chalking him up to unfriendly. A few days later, Rachel
comes home to find a handsome man in the mail room of the
apartment building, who is a shaven and shorn Danny. Seeing
her shopping bags and Saks catalog, he assumes she's all
about surface appearances. Enraged by his snap judgement,
she angrily confronts him at his apartment and the two end
up going out for pizza. Meanwhile, Ross agrees to more of
Emily's demands, selling all his furniture since it's been
"Rachel-ized". But that's not enough for Emily to feel
secure, so he agrees to move to a new apartment, all the way
uptown. Joey has trouble concealing his feelings, and
eventually tells Ross that Emily is asking way too much and
that they all hate her. Ross, stunned by his friends
betrayal, leaves. The gang returns later in an attempt to
reconcile, and Ross says how much he needed his friends to
be there for him right now. Feeling terrible, Monica insists
they all come over to her apartment and have dinner
together. Rachel comes in later from her dinner with Danny,
and proceeds to her bedroom, not wanting to infringe on the
gathering while Ross is there. Ross insists that she stay,
however, and then Emily calls and discovers that Rachel is
there. Ross pleads with her to come to New York anyway, that
Rachel is only a friend and there is nothing going on. Emily
agrees, saying she'll feel better once she can know where he
is every minute. Ross asks her if she'll ever be able to
trust him, because that's essential if their marriage is

Ross gets evicted by Emily's cousin once their marriage is
officially over, and moves in with Chandler and Joey. Their
patience is tried early on by the massive amounts of boxes
filling their apartment and Ross's insistence on "keeping it
down," not to mention the air purifier. Rachel and Danny
engage in head games, a struggle for power within their
non-relationship. He throws a house warming party and
invites Monica and Rachel at the last minute. Rachel says
she can't go because she has a regatta gala to go to. She
confesses to Monica that there is no gala, but she couldn't
let Danny think she had nothing better to do than wait
around for an invitation to his party. When Ross tapes over
an SHOW of Baywatch with a bug special, Chandler and Joey
decide he must go, and start not-so subtly hinting that he
should look at apartments. They direct him toward a tiny,
dingy apartment that is available immediately and has a
bathtub in the kitchen. Realizing their real motivation,
Ross agrees to apply for the apartment. Later, back at their
apartment, Chandler and Joey feel terrible about how they
pushed Ross, and decide to vindicate their actions when the

"pimpy." Ross gets turned down for the apartment and the

Phoebe's. Ross agrees, and promises to "keep down" his
annoying habits. Rachel finagles her way through the crowd
so that she can appear to be coming up the stairs, "on her
way back from the regatta gala," when she runs into Danny
and his party. Danny then introduces her to his friend Tom,
who Rachel believes is another ploy of Danny's to throw her
off. Monica shakes her head in disbelief at Rachel,
believing she has created the entire situation in her
head. Meanwhile, Phoebe dates a health inspector, Larry, who
she met at Monica's restaurant . At first impressed by his

soon finds that Larry has closed down nearly all of the

Thanksgiving memory.
</synopsis>
<synopsis source="warner">
The gang is spread out in the living room, stuffed from
Thanksgiving dinner. The conversation drifts back to the
worst Thanksgivings they've had, from Chandler's dad
divorcing his mom for the houseboy, to Phoebe's arm being
blown off in a past life, to the time Joey got his head
stuck in a raw turkey trying to scare Chandler. Rachel
claims to know of Monica's worst Thanksgiving, in 1987, when
Ross came home from college with Chandler. Monica, still in
her fat phase, is immediately smitten with Chandler, who
sports a "flock of seagulls" type hairdo. Ross tries to play
it cool with Rachel, but his feelings are obvious. Monica
overhears Chandler calling her fat, and is crushed. Back in
the present, Chandler apologizes profusely to Monica, even
though he doesn't remember saying that. Then Rachel admits
that she was actually thinking of the next year's
Thanksgiving in 1988, when Ross and Chandler again came home
from college, this time sporting the Miami Vice look, and
Monica had lost all the weight. Slinking her way across the
living room, Monica shows off her new body to Chandler,
trying to get him back for calling her fat. But it doesn't
satisfy her need for revenge, so she plots with Rachel to
pretend to seduce Chandler so that she can get him naked and
throw him outside to be humiliated. The plan goes somewhat
awry, and while she tries to be seductive in the kitchen,
she inadvertently drops a cutting knife and chops off
Chandler's little toe. At the hospital, the doctor discovers
that Monica accidentally packed a piece of carrot in ice
rather than Chandler's toe, so they are unable to reattach
it. Back in the present, Chandler is outraged that he no
longer has a little toe because he called Monica fat, and
storms out. Monica, desperate to make amends, goes over to
his apartment later, with a turkey stuck on her
head. Chandler won't give, however, so Monica puts a hat on
the turkey, then a pair of sunglasses, and finally starts
doing a little dance for him. Chandler finally relents and
laughs, admitting how great Monica is and that he loves
her. Monica, her head still in the turkey, is
stunned. Chandler immediately tries to cover up, but Monica
knows what she heard. As Chandler denies it and Monica rubs
it in, Joey comes walking up and is scared silly by the
sight of Monica with her head in the turkey.

Still in Barbados after Ross' keynote address, the friends
cope with a variety of dilemmas. Ross has kissed his

Joey. Joey and Rachel have kissed as well, but they agonize
over how to tell Ross. Phoebe's former boyfriend, Mike

has followed Phoebe to the island and proposed marriage to
her, despite his being in a relationship with someone else.
And Monica has developed really big hair, due to the
humidity. Chandler's problem is that he can barely keep
from making fun of his wife.
Phoebe, Monica and Chandler learn about all the romantic
drama by listening through the thin hotel room walls to hear
Joey and Rachel's amorous conversation on one side and Ross
and Charlie's on the other. Feeling as if he is betraying
Joey, Ross seeks him out to confess that he wants to date
Charlie. Likewise, Joey wants to admit to Ross his feelings
for Rachel. After several tries, Ross tells Joey, but Joey
fails to reciprocate. Meanwhile, Monica gets her hair done
in a local salon and is thrilled to sport cornrows adorned
with beads and shells. Chandler and the others are even
more mortified than before. Monica insists on keeping the
hairstyle--until her elaborate hair gets tangled in the
shower curtain.
Back in New York, Phoebe is forced to tell Mike's girlfriend
the bad news--on the unfortunate woman's birthday. And,
still not aware of Joey and Rachel's relationship, Ross is

<synopsis source="warner">
Rachel nearly gags on her meal when she secretly meets at a
restaurant for a job interview and sits right next to the
table where her current boss is dining. Phoebe considers
legally changing her married name to something more exotic.
Meanwhile, Joey feels abandoned when Monica and Chandler try
to buy a house, but Joey finds solace with the sellers'
precocious 8-year-old daughter, Mackenzie (DAKOTA FANNING -
"The Cat in the Hat")
