Goofs
When Rachel walks out of the coffee shop with the tray in her hand, she walks back in and sets the tray on a table. However, when she turns to leave, the tray is nowhere to be seen. Actually, the tray contains a yellow mug, and in the wide shot, the mug is visible on the table, which would imply that the tray is still there.

Ross: What? You're over me? When were you... under me?

Weird Episode To Watch

A weird episode for me this one.

Plot In A Paragraph: Upset that Ross is buying a cat with his girlfriend Julie, Rachel gets drunk on a date and leaves him a drunken voicemail saying she is over him. Meanwhile when Chandler is upset when he finds out he has put on a little weight, an unemployed and bored Monica appoints herself his personal trainer (Even if he wants her to or not) and Phoebe worries the guy she is dating does not think she is sexy enough as he doesn't seem to want to sleep with her.

My mixed feelings on this episode stem from the Phoebe storyline being very sexist. The Chandler and Monica storyline was fun, but again David Schwimmers acting was awkward to watch once he heard the voicemail.

But we get to see Ross and Rachel have their first real kiss.

A generous 7/10 for the Perry and Cox storyline and the first kiss.
