- Joey gets tickets for the five friends to see a one-woman show (Called "Why don't you like me: A bitter woman's journey through life"), saying he won't be able to go because he has to start working early the next morning. But Rachel finds out that he is planning a big party for all his co-workers from Days of our Lives up on the roof (after she finds a message on their answering machine indicating the same). Joey hosts this party every year (The previous year he sent them to a Medieval restaurant, and the yr before a nighttime tour of a button factory) and that he had hid that from them because he's afraid they would all (especially Rachel) act too crazy and excited if they are around famous stars.
She ends up telling everyone else (she tries to fake an illness, but get caught out by Monica who figures out that Rachel is all dressed up underneath her bath robe. Rachel has to reveal the truth), except for Chandler, who because he's not here, goes to the one-woman show all alone. In the final scene, Chandler gets his revenge by leaving Monica and Phoebe at the one-woman show.
Rachel is struggling with her feelings for Joey, and Monica asks her explicitly not to act on it. Meanwhile, Ross meets a colleague, professor Charlie Wheeler (Aisha Tyler) (and he is in charge of showing her around campus). They were accompanied by another Professor from Stanford, but he is very boring and Charlie suggests that they ditch him midway through the tour.
Ross invites her to the party (as she is incredibly hot), thinking about dating her. At the party, Monica and Rachel act a little crazy with all the actors (Rachel picks up a few phone numbers) but Rachel can't hide her feelings for Joey, leading to some embarrassing moments (Joey looks at all the numbers Rachel has collected and rejects the guys saying that they are not good enough for Rachel). Ross is getting a little depressed after learning that Charlie only dated geniuses and Nobel Prize winners (In fact her previous boyfriend Albert Wintermier got insecure that Charlie's previous boyfriend Bejamin Hobart had 2 Nobel prizes, while Albert only had the one) and feels below average with his PhD. Phoebe helps Ross with his confidence saying that maybe Charlie is looking to slum it with someone with "just" a PhD.
But while Rachel is searching for Joey, having decided that that she would go and kiss him (Monica advises against it, but Rachel argues that even Monica and Chandler kissed.. Monica defended saying that she was drunk and stupid, and Rachel counters that so is she. She doesn't want to kiss any of the soap opera stars and wants to kiss Joey), Ross approaches her asking if she'd seen Charlie (probably to ask her out) and the two see Joey and Charlie kissing. Rachel is disappointed, but Ross is indignant saying that he is definitely smarter than Joey.
