- Ross tries to get Rachel to go back to Ralph Lauren, Joey doesn't know that his agent has died, and Monica and Chandler bump into Janice.
- [Continuing from the previous episode...] After getting back from a dinner with Mark, Rachel tells everyone that she got a job offer in Paris. Ross tries to get Ralph Lauren to hire Rachel back, and it works, but she still wants to go to Paris because they boosted her salary. Ross goes back to Ralph Lauren to get Rachel a raise. He succeeds, but she still wants to go to Paris, so Ross tells Ralph Lauren that she does not want to come back to work. Joey, upset that everything is changing, finds out in a weird way that his agent has died.—Anonymous
- Rachel tells everyone that she is going to take a job in Paris. Joey takes it really hard, and Ross is ready to do anything to get her to stay in New York, so he goes and see Mr. Zelner, her boss, and bribes him into taking her back with some dinosaur fossils for his son. In the meantime, Phoebe discovers that Estelle, Joey's agent, has died, but she hides it from Joey to avoid hurting his feelings. It gets difficult when Joey insists on calling Estelle. Monica and Chandler visit the house next door to their's, and discover that Janice is buying it. They don't know what to do to avoid having such neighbors.—Pruneau
- Too many changes are happening around Joey - his best friends are moving into a new house, Phoebe is now married, Rachel is moving to Paris for her new job, and to make it even worse, his agent, Estelle, dies. He doesn't get to learn about this last piece of news, however, because it's Phoebe who finds out about Estelle after finding her obituary in the paper, and in an attempt to keep him stable (she decides not to tell Joey), and then calls Joey by impersonating Estelle over the phone.
Because of her recent silence, however, Joey ends up "firing her". He later feels guilty about it, but Phoebe encourages him to wait for her to call him back so she can learn from her mistakes. Eventually he finds out about her death (from Estelle's other client Al Zeebooker, who also tells him about her memorial service), only to then get spooked when she (in reality, Phoebe again) seemingly calls him from beyond the grave, and they "make amends". Joey later gives a speech at her memorial service, only for her only other client - a guy who eats paper - to eat his speech.
Monica and Chandler are checking out their new home, but learn the one next door is available and get curious. Unfortunately, they bump into another prospective buyer - Janice (Maggie Wheeler). After learning that Chandler and Monica already made an offer on the house next door (Monica blurts it out without thinking), she decides to buy the house. There are still 3 hrs for the escrow to close and Chandler considers getting out of their house, next door. It takes a reckless Chandler to fake his never-wavered feelings for her (and a struggled kiss between the two) to make Janice change her mind.
Meanwhile, Ross becomes upset that Rachel is moving to Paris, believing that she is only really going for the money and not any actual passion. He tries everything in his power to make Rachel stay so she doesn't have to move to Paris. This includes talking with Mr. Zelner about it, during which he discovers that Mr. Zelner thinks his name is "Ron", and that his son is also named Ross AND is interested in paleontology. This convinces Ross to bribe Mr. Zelner by giving him and his son a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum.
It initially works, but when Rachel discovers the Paris job is offering her more money (now that Ralph Lauren wants her back. Louis Vutton team ups its game), Ross has to bribe Mr. Zelner again with a pterodactyl egg (he mumbles that its a replica) to give Rachel her old job with increased salary. Rachel is excited about the new Ralph Lauren offer, and being in NYC is certainly the easier choice.
In the end, though, Ross sees that Rachel actually wants to go to Paris in order to have momentum in her career, so he decides to drop his efforts and let her leave for Paris, but is upset to do so.
