Ross seeks solace at a party after a bitter fight with Rachel and ends up in the arms of another woman; Phoebe's date needs an interpreter to communicate.

Phoebe dates an East European UN diplomat, Sergei, and asks Monica to join them at a restaurant to keep his translator company as Sergei cannot speak English. When Ross brings a picnic to Rachel's office, Rachel becomes fed up with Ross's neediness and suggests they take a break. Ross seeks comfort in the bar where Joey and Chandler are trying to impress Chloe, the copy girl they both have a crush on. Ross and Rachel are trying to make up on the phone when Ross hears Mark, who insisted he come over. Mark, knowing Rachel is on the phone with Ross, makes his voice audible to him so Ross assumes the worst and hangs up on Rachel. He then has one too many beers and sleeps with Chloe.—Marshall

Chandler and Joey are both attracted to Chloe (Angela Featherstone), the girl (with the belly button ring) who works at the copy center. Chloe knows that Chandler and Joey have a crush on her and invites them to a party thrown by a DJ friend of hers. Chloe indicates that she might be open for the threesome with the both of them. So, Joey and Chandler discuss some ground rules. 1. Always keep the eyes open (so they don't accidentally "touch" each other) 2. Flip for where each of them "would be" while doing it with Chloe

Phoebe dates an East European diplomat Sergei (whom she met while giving free massages outside the UN) whose interpreter accompanies them everywhere to translate. The interpreter has to translate even the most romantic things so that Phoebe can understand them. To gain some privacy, Phoebe fixes up Monica with the interpreter. She soon regrets it after the interpreter Mischa wants to spend all his time talking to Monica. They both talk amongst themselves and have a great time while PHoebe and Sergei can do nothing but look at each other. Sergei is angry and Mischa for not doing his job and Mischa is angry that Sergei cant leave him alone for one night.. Mischa quits and leaves with Monica.

Ross and Rachel's relationship is further strained when she has to work late (There was a disaster in shipping and she has to work all night to get an order in) on their one-year anniversary. Ross surprises her with a basket lunch, but she insists she is too busy. Rachel was on the phone when Ross walked in. He lights a candle and ends up setting fire to a flower piece on Rachel's desk... Rachel gets very angry and asks Ross to leave as she has a deadline and she will speak to Ross later. Rachel returns home late that night and wants Ross to apologize to her. She says that Ross had no right to come down to her office. Ross says Rachel is too busy with work and he doesn't feel he has a girlfriend anymore... Its just a job. Rachel gets really angry at this comment as this is the first time in her life she feels she is doing something useful and thinks that Ross cannot appreciate that. Ross thinks this is about Mark and Rachel grabs her hair and says she cant do this anymore.. They later have a bitter fight with Rachel saying they need a break. Ross walks out without saying a word.

Upset, Ross goes drinking with Joey and Chandler to the party. Turns out Chloe is a big fan of Ross, the dinosaur guy. Ross tells Chandler and Joey that he and Rachel are broken up. Meanwhile Mark calls and Rachel chats to him about the big fight with Ross. Mark decides to come over to comfort Rachel. The guys convince Ross to call up Rachel and fix the matter. Ross calls and finds that Mark is already there with Rachel. He hangs up. Chloe pursues Ross and asks him to dance with her. Chloe ends up kissing Ross and they go to bed together.
