Storyline

- TriviaThere's a scene where Joey thinks that Monica is attracted to him. This is a partial nod to what the show's creators had planned before all of the casting of the roles had been completed. They had originally planned on Joey and Monica being the first couple to emerge from the group; but when Jennifer Aniston was cast to play Rachel the idea was changed to Ross and Rachel being the first couple.
- GoofsChandler and Rachel do not seem to know each other. However, they had already met several years earlier on Thanksgiving 1987 at Monica's parent's house in The One with All the Thanksgivings (1998). Moreover, Rachel and Chandler made out when Monica and she visited Ross in college. Finally, Monica introduced Rachel to Chandler in the pilot as if they have never met before.

Featured review
Great TV
A classic Friends episode.
Plot In A Paragraph: After Janice asks about past relationships between the friends, we go back three years earlier. Phoebe and Monica live together, but Phoebe has moved out (without Monica knowing). Chandler is looking for a roommate, it seems his choice is easy, a photographer who works with models, or Joey who is "ok with the whole gay thing". It turns out Monica fancies Joey, and urges Chandler to pick him. Rachel is engaged to Barry, but she wants one last meaningless relationship, and Chandler thinks he is just the man she needs. Ross is happy his wife finally has a friend, "Susan something from the gym" until he finds out they are lesbians.
I loved the scenes with Chandler comforting Monica and him bonding with Joey over 'Baywatch'
