- As Joey's grandmother visits to watch him on TV, Ross has trouble flirting with the pizza delivery girl, and Rachel tries to find an earring of Monica's that she has misplaced.
- First, Ross takes Chandler's natural joking with pizza delivery girl Caitlin for flirting behind Monica's back, and actually tells her just as they celebrate their 10-month anniversary, which starts a discussion on whether flirting by men is innocent, but not by females. Then Ross decides to demonstrate his flirtatious talent, which the others know to be abysmal; even conquering Rachel took him nine years. Meanwhile, Joey brings over Nonnie, his Italian grandmother who doesn't speak any English but was his only relative who always believed in his career, to watch a "Law and Order" episode in which Joey has a small role. Once he realizes his scene has actually been cut out, everyone tries to fool her and thus spare her heartbreak. Phoebe can't return Monica's earrings, a gift from Chandler she wants to wear that evening, because Rachel borrowed and lost them, as usual. Ross's flirting lessons turn out to be of the 'how not to do it' variety, but Rachel takes pity on him.—KGF Vissers

- Joey had a part on "Law and Order", and his grandma comes for a visit to watch the show - but they cut Joey's scene out. Chandler and Monica have their 10-month anniversary. Ross likes the pizza delivery girl Caitlin and tries to flirt with her, but fails; Rachel upsets Ross by saying he doesn't know how to flirt. Ross orders another pizza to prove her wrong, but fails again. Rachel goes after Caitlin, and begs her to give Ross her phone number, which she does. Monica admits that she flirts with other men all the time and it doesn't mean anything, but Chandler has a big problem with it.—Anonymous
- Chandler, dressed up for his and Monica's ten-month anniversary, picks up some pizzas that delivery girl Caitlin (Kristin Dattilo) has brought for the group, but Ross mistakes his friend's natural jokes for flirting (Short hair cuts looking like 8 yr old boys, chick and the duck fighting about whether the egg came first and so on), which Chandler denies. Phoebe points out that the real reason Ross is mad is because he finds Caitlin attractive, and Ross takes the opportunity to flirt with her when he finds a missing vegetarian pizza for Phoebe.
Ross makes inappropriate comments to Caitlin (that he likes 8 yr old boys.. he was referring to Ben) and saddened by his effort (when even Rachel responds that Ross was not good at the flirting thing), he orders another pizza and practices flirting with Phoebe. Caitlin arrives with the pizza, but Ross screws up the flirting again, ending up talking to her about gas and methane (gas is odorless, but they add the smell so that it can be noticed while it leaks). He scares her so much that she pays for the pizza herself and flees the apartment.
Out of pity for Ross, Rachel catches up with Caitlin and tries to talk her into going out with Ross (She explains that Ross gets really nervous when he is flirting). Rachel returns to the apartment and gives Ross Caitlin's phone number.
Meanwhile, Joey introduces everyone to his Italian grandmother (Lilyan Chauvin), who is deeply intent on seeing her grandson debut on Law & Order. As she does not speak a word of English, they find it difficult to communicate with her, except for Phoebe, who manages to offer her a glass of water in Italian. The TV show starts, but Joey finds out that he has been cut out of it. Desperate not to shock his grandmother, he records a crude clip of himself on tape at his apartment in a crime scene where he holds his duck hostage. But the clip is good enough for Nonni - until the tape continues rolling, showing Chandler sing "Space Oddity" in front of the camera.
Monica, getting dressed for the big anniversary date, asks Phoebe to return the earrings that Chandler bought her (Chandler wants Monica to wear those earrings to the dinner), which Phoebe borrowed some time ago. It turns out, however, that Phoebe lent the same earrings to Rachel, who has lost one of them. Phoebe tells her how the earrings are Monica's, which makes Rachel flip out because she is not allowed to borrow Monica's stuff as she ends up losing it. Rachel tries to find the earring but it is nowhere to be found.
Fearing that Monica will kill her if she finds out, Phoebe takes the blame instead of Rachel, but Monica is understanding with her. Rachel steps in and explains everything to Monica, who immediately loses it with Rachel. Monica ends up wearing another pair of earrings, which luckily for her, Chandler doesn't notice. Monica and Chandler leave for dinner, and Chandler thanks Ross for the earrings he picked up for Monica.
