The One With Ross’s Sandwich: Joey lets himself look bad in order to explain away various discoveries that could expose Monica’s and Chandler’s relationship: underwear in Monica’s sofa; a lady’s razor in his shower; candlelight and videotape; a nude polaroid. He threatens to tell everyone the truth unless Chandler and Monica can come up with a story that makes him look good. They don’t come through, so Joey creates a new lie: he slept with Monica in London and she’s been after him ever since.

After Rachel steals her ideas in the first class, Phoebe feeds Rachel misinformation about the second book.

Joey is auditioning for a sophisticated part in a play, so Rachel offers to help him look the part. She outfits him at Bloomingdales, and part of the ensemble is a “man’s bag,” which bears a striking resemblence to a purse. Unfortunately, Joey’s devotion to the bag ends up costing him the audition. Phoebe’s grandmother dies; Ursula, who thought grandma was already dead, skips the memorial. The memorial does have one unexpected guest, however–Phoebe’s father. Without revealing her true identify, she arranges to meet with him later, at which time she reveals the truth… but things are still a little awkward.
The One With The Cop: Joey has a dream that Monica is his girlfriend; Monica tells him it just means he wants a relationship with the closeness that he sees between herself and Chandler. She suggests he try being friends with a woman before being intimate. After hitting on Rachel (unsuccessfully), Joey tries to make friends with new women; but they find his “friends first” approach so enticing that they want the intimacy immediately.

The One Where Ross Can’t Flirt: Monica and Chandler are going out for their ten-month anniversary; Chandler wants Monica to wear the earings he gave her. However, she lent them to Phoebe, who lent them to Rachel, who lost one. Ross sees Chandler flirting with the pizza girl (Caitlin) and decides he’s going to turn on the charm as well, with disasterous results.

Ross and Rachel have to work, so they plan to come a day later. On the plane, Phoebe lets slip about Richard; Chandler tells Monica he’s okay with it; later, in Vegas, they end up fighting over it. Meanwhile, Rachel (being alone in her apartment) decides to go around naked. Ross sees her from his apartment and thinks she’s coming on to him. He goes over and makes an embarrassing scene. Rachel teases him about it the next day on their flight, so they both start doing their best to embarrass each other… a contest which is topped off by Ross drawing a mustache on a sleeping Rachel. Joey admits to his friends that his film’s been shut down; he decides to play Black Jack to turn a $100 tip into enough money to finish the movie. He loses, but discovers something much more valuable (to him, at least): His identical hand twin. Monica, on her way to apologize to Chandler, finds a chip on the floor and places a bet at a craps table… and starts a winning streak. Chandler sees her celebrating and hugging the person next to her… and he walks out.
