- Ross and Rachel hit the freeway together when Monica's Porsche shows up again; Chandler and Monica go off to Vegas to find Chandler's estranged dad.
- Finding out that she's the only one of the friends who never got to drive Monica's Porsche, Rachel steals the car keys from Ross, who feels responsible - so he jumps in before learning that Rachel's license is expired. They get stopped - twice - but flirting doesn't work with either officer. When Phoebe's studly boyfriend Jake bends over, Joey sees that he wears lingerie. Phoebe tells Joey that they exchanged underwear, and that it takes a really confident man to dare doing so. Joey can't resist trying it himself. Chandler refuses to send a wedding invitation to his estranged father, but Monica is determined to put family first, and drags her groom to Las Vegas, where Chandler's dad has a drag show. When they are finally face to face, Chandler makes a decision.—KGF Vissers
- Rachel is the only one of the gang who isn't allowed to drive Monica's Porsche, because she is a bad driver. So Rachel steals the keys from Ross and takes him for a drive. Rachel doesn't have a license and gets stopped for speeding, but can convince the officer not to give her a ticket. Ross then drives her home, but drives so slowly that they are stopped again, and Ross gets a ticket. Chandler didn't invite his dad to the wedding, but Monica insists that they go to Vegas and see him. They go, and see Chandler's dad's show as a female impersonator. When Chandler's dad unwittingly approaches their table during his performance, he is startled to see his son after so many years; the couple tells him of their upcoming wedding, and Chandler graciously invites him. Clearly moved, he says that he would be very happy to attend.—Anonymous
- The episode starts with Ross and Joey asking to borrow Monica's Porsche, so an angry Rachel demands to know why Monica doesn't let her drive. Phoebe reveals that Rachel thinks that Monica talks too much about the wedding, so Monica replies by letting Rachel know that she is a terrible driver. Ross arrives at Central Perk and comments to Rachel about how fast the "bad boy" is. Rachel requests the keys of the Porsche, but Ross refuses. He then he goes to the bathroom to comb his hair (using the comb on the floor of the bathroom), and during his absence Rachel steals the keys and 20 bucks, which she claims to a watching nearby woman as her alimony.
Monica then asks Chandler about why his father hasn't answered the wedding invitation and Chandler reveals that the reason is because he wasn't invited. Monica claims that he would regret not having his father at his own wedding and also that she wants to get to know her future father-in-law. Chandler protests, telling her that his father embarrassed him a lot as a kid, including when he came to every single one of his swim practices and cheered him on dressed as a different Hollywood starlet, Monica tells him that at least he showed up to every single one and cheered for him. She then packs their bags and tells them they are going to Las Vegas to meet his father.
Joey decides to bond with Jake, Phoebe's new boyfriend, so he invites him to the Knicks game, but as Jake reaches down for his agenda (to check if he is free), Joey sees he is wearing women's underwear. He tells Phoebe about this, she explains that they were goofing around and that they traded underwear. She then tells him that he is unsure about his manhood, as opposed to Jake who is so secure in his manhood that he agreed on a dare to wear women's underwear.
Rachel is "Porsche-ing" (speeding) around much to Ross' annoyance, but they are pulled over by Officer Hanson (who Rachel calls Officer Handsome), for speeding - he also discovers that Rachel does not have a valid driving license. Rachel flirts with him so he won't give her a ticket and she succeeds, after which Ross begins to drive.
Chandler and Monica arrive to the show of Helena Handbasket (Kathleen Turne), who Chandler reveals to be his father. Chandler admits in the previous years his father tried to contact him multiple times which Chandler ignored. Helena begins to talk to the people in the crowd, and Chandler says he can't deal with this. This draws Helena's attention to him and she asks him a question. Hesitantly, Chandler turns around to face her. Helena is surprised once she recognizes that it is her son, and a tear rolls down her cheek. Helena then notices Monica's ring, and Chandler admits they are engaged. Rather awkwardly, Helena turns to another man and says "So, you're bald." Chandler interrupts and invites her to the wedding, and she tells him that she wouldn't miss it for the world.
Joey arrives at Central Perk and shows Phoebe that he stole and is currently wearing Rachel's underwear. She replies by agreeing that he is a man, but is also a bit promiscuous. Joey relishes the feel of silk and also goes into a discussion about how pantyhose feels, but the awkward and uncomfortable look Phoebe gives him lets him know that he went too far. Joey goes to take the underwear off and comes back, telling Phoebe that after this whole ordeal he really needs to be with a woman. He goes to hit on the hot girl sitting behind them, and after telling her he was on Days of our Lives, attempts to pay her bill of $4.50, but when pulling out his wallet, he also pulls out Rachel's underwear.
Ross is pulled over, this time by Officer Petty (whom Ross calls Officer Pretty), so he tries to do the same thing as Rachel but fails, and he is given a ticket for driving too slow. He is then ashamed of his attempt to be feminine and get out of a ticket, with Rachel admonishing him and telling him he has a son.
