Joey and Rachel will finally have their night together!

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

It is going to be Joey's and Rachel's first night. Joey is confident and Chandler asks Joey how he can be always so confident. Joey tells Chandler that he knows exactly what to do, and shows some of his techniques to conquer his women. Unfortunately for Joey, he and Rachel had a terrible date, since Rachel doesn't feel comfortable with Joey and sees him too much as a friend.

Monica has a cool tan and Ross is curious to know how she got that nice tan. Chandler tells Ross that Monica went to one of those spray-on-tan places, and Ross decides to do the same. Monica gives Ross the card of the place she went, but Ross, with his Mississippi counting, ruins his tan, having some parts of his body full of spray and others with nothing.

Phoebe and Monica don't want to see Amanda, an ex colleague that lived in the building that has a very fake British accent/annoying attitudes. Phoebe tells Monica about cutting Amanda out of their lives, but Monica thinks this is very harsh. Later, Monica is going to discover that Phoebe already though about cutting her of her life too, and that will make Monica stays upset with Phoebe.
