Rachel and Charlie go shopping

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Charlie is terrible buying clothes, so Joey asks Rachel to help Charlie, since Rachel is great with Fashion and works with that. Rachel is not very excited about the idea, but Phoebe comes along with her. Phoebe needs new clothes to go to a party that Mike's sister invited her, because she wants to look incredible to Mike.

Rachel is avoiding Charlie's company to go out, and Phoebe asks her why she doesn't like Charlie. Rachel says that she likes Joey to Phoebe when they are in changing room, but Charlie was very close to them in the next changing room, to Rachel's despair.

Monica and Chandler hardly will have success in conceiving children naturally, because her uterus has an inhospitable environment and Chandler's sperm has low mobility. Their options are to adopt a kid or go after a sperm donor. Chandler brings a workmate to dinner in the next day, because he thinks Zack would be a great choice in case they choose for a donor.

Ross has chances to be a keynote speaker at the National Paleontology Conference. He needs to impress Professor Sherman, who is the person who is going to decide it, but Ross stays in a terrible situation when Sherman sleeps during his speech.
