- Monica's willpower is tested after running into Richard at the video store. He has no mustache now. They crack jokes and are very comfortable around each other.. They eventually go out for an innocent burger. She agrees to teach him how to make a lasagna for a potluck dinner he has. The gang thinks they will end up having sex.. The two decide to just be 'friends'. But while making lasagna, they start squishing the tomatoes and Monica ends up holding Richard's hands. The chemistry between them is electric, but they decide to control their impulses. The next day, Richard calls Monica and tells her that her lasagna was a hit.. Monica is sure that the platonic relationship between them is a good thing, but then Richard shows up at her door and they end up having sex. They decide to be friends who sleep together.. it is just something that they do.. Richard continues to come over to Monica's and makes romantic gestures like decorating her bed with flowers while waiting for her to return from work with 2 glasses of wine in his hands. Monica reciprocates the gesture when she decorates Richard's bed and waits for him to come back home.. Only to find that Richard has come with a date. Richard finds Monica in his room, and gets rid of his date quickly.. Monica tells Richard that she is not fine with Richard dating and asks for exclusivity in their friendship. They agree that this is going into the same place where they were before and agree to break up again before they hurt each other.
Rachel is working really late nights at the office. But she promises to make it up to Ross in bed, by giving him early morning BJs..
Joey agrees to read Little Women while Rachel reads The Shining (Joey kept a copy of it in the freezer as he was scared of it). Joey reads the book often as he considers it the scariest book ever. Meanwhile Rachel considers Little Women a classic. So they agree to read each other's book. Joey gets all confused as he gets the characters mixed up (he thinks Jo is a boy and Laurie is a girl, when its the other way around). But then Joey ruins the book for Rachel when he reveals the future plots of the story. Rachel gets back at Joey by revealing that a favorite character dies, devastating Joey.. Ross and Chandler ask Rachel to take it back, as it will the only book Joey ever loved that didn't involve Jack Nicholson. Eventually Joey reads the book and finds the favorite character getting sick and puts the book in the freezer as he is getting scared.
Phoebe's athletic new boyfriend (who jogs and blades and swims) Robert accidentally keeps exposing himself through his loose-fitting shorts. Robert meets the gang at the coffee house and the gang can see his penis and testicles.. Ross and Chandler decide not to look at it directly. But then Joey points out to Phoebe that Robert has been "hanging out".. Phoebe gifts Robert some stretchy pants, but Robert says he doesn't like them as they are very tight and Robert feels like he is on display. The gang tell Phoebe that they cant tell Robert. Phoebe decides to talk to Robert and its a very awkward conversation, but that's when Gunther (James Michael Tyler) comes around and tells Robert to "put the mouse back in the house"..
