The one of the valentine's day

In this episode, it is Valentine's Day. Ross goes on a date with a beautiful neighbor, which turns out to be a bad idea, since he sees Carol with Susan in the restaurant, and he gives Carol more attention then to his neighbor.

Joey is crazy to have a date with Lorraine, a sexy lady, so he convinces Chandler to go out with Lorraine's friend. They go to on a double date, but Lorraine's friend turns out to be Janice, Chandler ex girlfriend who has the most annoying laugh of all. When Joey and Lorraine go away, Chandler and Janice spend a lot of money on Joey's credit card,specially with expensive champagne,since they are both angry with Joey. ( Janice and Chandler end up sleeping together after all that alcohol!)

Phoebe, Monica and Rachel decide to do a ritual and to burn all the objects that are connected to the guys they have dated. But that turns out to become an arson.
