Joey needs to learn his lines in french

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Joey asks Phoebe's help to learn his lines in french, since he has an audition and his résumé tells he's fluent in the language. Since Phoebe is fluent in french, she tries to help Joey to learn, but he is too stupid and doesn't understand a single word Phoebe says.

Erica is coming to New York since she wants to see the tourist spots and Monica and Chandler want to know her better. They also are curious to know who is the baby's father, and when Erica says that there is a possibility to be a prisoner who killed his father, Chandler stays paranoid.

Rachel arrives late to bring Emma to Ross, and tells that her father had a heart attack. Ross goes with her to the hospital to make her company, but sadly, for him, he needs to see Rachel's dad. (Ross doesn't like Rachel's father and vice versa)

Later, when they both go to Rachel's old house, she tries to kiss Ross, but he refuses it, since he doesn't want problems with Rachel.
