Joey's chair breaks
Lady_Targaryen17 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Rachel wants to change Joey's chair from the place it usually stays to put a couch there. Joey is against this idea because he thinks ''Rosita'', his chair, stays in a perfect angle for everything, including to watch Stevie, the television. When Rachel tries to change the chair from where it is, she ends up breaking it. To compensate Joey for what she did, she brings Joey to a store to buy a new and better chair.

Chandler goes to Joey's apartment and sit on ''Rosita'', making her fall to pieces. He thinks he broke Joey's chair and changes it for his chair.

Ross and Monica are angry that their parents are going to sell their house and they didn't tell anything before to them. They go to pick their childhood stuff, but while Ross' stuff are in great condition, Monica's stuff are all rotten, because they were to used to protect Jack's Porsche from the water in the garage.

Phoebe is not receiving sufficient money from her massages, so she takes Ross' advice and try to work in the telemarketing business. She goes to to work on Empire Officers to try to sell toners, and in one of her calls, Phoebe meets Earl, a guy who is depressive and wants to kill himself.

The One Where Rosita Dies
ComedyFan201022 August 2011

I love the chair story. It is funny how Joey's chair and TV have names: Rositta and Stevie. And it is also great how it might have been a miracle and a chair angel repaired it. The only thing is that it makes me sad for Chandler that he lost his chair

Phoebe's story is pretty good too. I was very happy to see Jason Alexander have a part in Friends. It was a very George-like character as well, only more desperate so that he would kill himself

And when it comes to Ross and Monica, I actually felt pretty bad for Monica in this episode at least until she got the Porche. I can't say I felt too bad for Ross though, come on the guy is a professor he should afford one

Barcaloungers and Childhood Memories
vivianla25 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Ross and Monica find an ad in the newspaper of their parents' home being on sale. The house has issues with asbestos in the ceiling and the garage keeps flooding. Ross's stuff was perfectly kept dry but their dad uses his daughter's boxes to block the water from getting to his Porsche. Ross still has his report cards, colouring books, awards. To make it up to Monica, she is given the keys to the Porsche. Ross is jealous and reminds them he was a medical marvel, their mom was thought to be barren. Monica thinks her parents like Ross more than her.

Rachel sits on Rosita and it breaks. Rosita is Joey's barcalounger and they go out to buy a new one. Chandler comes in alone and sits on the chair which breaks and he thinks he broke it. He replaces it with his barcalounger. Rachel and Joey come back with the new La-Z-Boy barcalounger in black that was named Chair of The Year by a magazine. Rachel keeps the chair for herself and Joey envies her sound system and other cool features.

Phoebe is annoyed that she only had two clients and its February 2001. They were the worst tippers and the Geller siblings reminds her it was them. Phoebe is recommended to go into telemarketing. She gets a job in a call centre where she is to sell toner for printers. She calls her first person named Earl who tells her he is going to kill himself. He works in an office and is a manager. He sits at his cubicle and no one acknowledges him. Phoebe wonders if he is Chandler.

Phoebe goes to Earl's office and persuades him to not suicide. She claims this is fate because her mom killed herself. Phoebe is so sweet to do that.

Stevie, I was never here
studioAT8 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a solid episode from the 7th series of the show, and one that features 3 good storylines.

There's a lot of heart in the Ross/Monica story, and it's well played by Schwimmer and Cox.

I can't say I find Jason Alexander overly funny at the best of times, so his guest appearance here didn't do a lot for me. This is probably the weakest of the 3 stories, with Lisa Kudrow having to do a lot to keep it going.

The best story is the one involving 'Rosita' herself, with it being nice to see a Chandler/Joey story again.

A good episode overall.
