- As Rachel interviews for a new job, the girls take on the guys in a game of poker.
- Although Rachel failed to properly proofread her xeroxed resumes she does get an interview for her professional dream coming true as an assistant buyer. Meanwhile Phoebe's baseless feminist suspicion that the boys' poker night is somehow a macho conspiracy leads to the girls insisting to participate. Teaching them poker rules is like explaining rocket science to Joey, so the girls loose crushingly. Competitive Monica demands a rematch, after advanced lessons from her experienced aunt Iris. Finally, it comes down to a duel between Ross and Rachel, but she gets a call first: the buyer job fell through.—KGF Vissers
- Tired of customers referring to her as "Excuse me," (& the lousy tips) Rachel applies for jobs in the fashion industry. her resume has spelling mistakes like Compuper skills etc. She gets a lot of rejections.
Ross still has very strong feelings for Rachel. Joey loses at a poker game with Ross and Chandler and cries. The girls want to play poker with the guys and want them to teach the girls. The girls start off by exchanging cards and being generally naive about poker.. Joey tells Monica not to serve any food with more than 1 syllable (Chips & dips)..
Ross's normally docile demeanor disappears when the girls face the boys during a not-so-friendly poker game. Joey's bluffing and Phoebe thinks that's not right. The guys wants the girls to settle the money from the game.. Monica agrees and wants a rematch. Ross is an ass to Rachel and says that he plays to win, and she shouldn't expect him to be a nice guy.
The girls think that Monica is just as competitive as Ross (she threw a plate once when she lost at a Pictionary game). Monica later seeks help from her aunt Iris who is an expert player. Iris shows the girls all the tricks of poker and teaches them how to bluff etc.
Rachel is excited to land an interview at Saks Fifth Avenue as an assistant buyer (Rachel is excited as she will be paid, for shopping). The next poker night is at Ross's. Marcel is angry with ROss for not allowing him to play "The Lion King" music CD. Rachel is super excited since her interview went very well (it went for 2 and a half hours and the boss had the same taste in clothes as her). Rachel knows that she can do this job, and do it well.
The girls again lose. Rachel loses $15 to Ross. Phoebe loses $7.5 and Monica loses $10. Monica again challenges the guys for another match. The next match is at Monica's. Rachel is waiting to hear from the job interview. After a while, Rachel wins a game.. she starts to tease Ross, by making a pile of Ross's chips. Ross is red with anger. He loses the next game to Rachel as well and this time Rachel refuses to show her cards to Ross. Rachel can see that Ross is getting worked up and makes fun of him. Thats when Rachel receives word that she didn't get the job & is devastated. Rachel continues to play poker. She raises the bet to $5, when the table limit is $.5.. Everybody steps back as this is between Ross and Rachel. Ross tries to fold, but Rachel needles him and forces him to continue. Rachel raises $20, Ross raises $25.. Rachel then raises $17, by borrowing money from Monica and Phoebe. Ross calls.
Rachel has a full house and Ross folds, without revealing his cards. The guys think he folded to let Rachel win and to make her happy. The gang plays Pictionary again and duck after they are not able to guess Monica's picture.
