When Joey comes back from his fishing trip, he smells horrible, but instead of taking a shower, he starts learning his lines of the movie he does with Charlton Heston. He falls asleep while remembering the lines, so when he wakes up he goes directly to the set, without taking a shower. On the set, he learns that Charlton Heston is the only one with a shower in his dressing room, so he uses that one. However, he is still in the shower when Charlton is done with his scene and walks into his dressing room. Charlton quickly works out that Joey is nervous about his acting with him, so accepts this, but warns him never to use his shower again.
At work, Joshua finally asks Rachel to come to the opening of a nightclub he invested in, but Rachel already promised her boss to take his niece Emily to the opera. After convincing Ross that they are in a place where they can be happy for each other, he agrees to take Emily to the opera. Rachel goes to the opening but doesn't get in, because Joshua put a Rachel "Greep" instead of Rachel "Greene" on the VIP list. Another girl claiming to be Rachel Greep was let in and Rachel ends up clocking another woman who wants to take her umbrella. It turns out Ross ended up with Emily in a Bed & Breakfast in Vermont, which really upsets Rachel. Even worse, Ross later thanks Rachel for introducing him to Emily and he is very happy that he is finally over Rachel and that they can be happy for each other, but this painfully shows Rachel isn't.
Joey has to go to Charlton Heston's new movie but smells awful because of a three day fishing trip with his father previously and never had time to shower. He breaks into Heston's dressing room and uses his shower. Rachel sets Ross up with her boss's niece, Emily (Helen Baxendale) so that she can go to Joshua's invested nightclub. Chandler can't get over Kathy, and remains in his barcalounger, in his sweat pants.
Tropes As Himself: None other than Charlton Heston. Continuity Nod: Chandler tells the others that Kathy didn't cheat on any of them, and then corrects himself when he remembers that she did technically cheat on Joey. They share a quick hug in solidarity. Erotic Dream: The end credits scene sees Chandler having one where he's attempting to set up an orgy with Monica, Rachel, Phoebe and the strippers from the club. Nothing explicit is shown, and the scene ends with Chandler deciding he needs to wake up after the dream version of "Joshua" starts hitting on him."Monica": Wait, what am I doing again?
Chandler: Would you please pay attention, I could wake up at any moment! Family-Friendly Stripper: The club the girls take Chandler to is full of these. The dancers' costumes are skimpy but still keep them covered up enough for primetime. Girl on Girl Is Hot: Chandler finally moves on to "Phase 3" of the breakup process after listening to the girls talk about which of the strippers they'd want to be with. Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Chandler spends the episode going through the guys' equivalent, which apparently has three phases: Phase 1: Sitting around in your sweatpants watching TV and eating junk food. Phase 2: Getting drunk and going to a strip club with your buddies. Phase 3: Picturing yourself with other women, most likely the strippers from the club. Morning Sickness: Phoebe can't go to the opera because she gets her morning sickness in the evening. Not on the List: Rachel's plan to meet up with Joshua at a club fails because of this. He promised to put her name on the door list but it's misspelled and the bouncer apparently refused to accept that "Rachel Greep" was supposed to be "Rachel Green". To make matters worse, another girl in line behind her claimed to be "Rachel Greep" and was allowed straight in. Overreacting Airport Security: Emily's initial bad mood is, among other reasons, because on arriving at JFK she was stopped and strip-searched by security guards who thought she looked like a drug mule. The Pig-Pen: After three days without showering on his fishing trip, Joey stinks to high heaven. He oversleeps the morning he's supposed to be filming and doesn't have time to shower, so he uses Charlton Heston's personal shower. Please Put Some Clothes On: After catching Joey in his dressing room, Charlton Heston orders him to put his clothes back on "so I can kick your butt!" Shower of Awkward: Joey needs to shower before going to work, but the only available shower in the studio is in Charlton Heston's private dressing room. So Heston enters his dressing room to find some stranger using his personal shower. Sustained Misunderstanding: When Charlton Heston catches Joey using his shower, Joey tries to explain that he stinks. Heston takes it as him stinking as an actor, and goes on to explain that all actors stink at one time and another, including himself; Joey never has a chance to explain. That Came Out Wrong: Ross tells Chandler to "take off your sweats, let's have some fun", and realizes how that sounded. Undying Loyalty: The Chick and the Duck are seen following Chandler around, even to the bathroom, as he mopes over his breakup.
The fourth season of Friends, an American sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, premiered on NBC on September 25, 1997. Friends was produced by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television. The season contains 24 episodes and concluded airing May 7, 1998.
In addition to some glaringly problematic story lines, "Friends" had issues with continuity that can be hard to ignore to this day, from petty details (like characters having multiple different birthdays) to major emotional moments getting little to no follow-through (like Phoebe's birth parents disappearing from her life without explanation).
But never once in 10 seasons is Rachel shown wearing glasses. So either she was lying to save face about the subtitles, or she walks around with bad eyesight. We know Rachel doesn't wear contacts because, as established on season five, episode 22, "The One with Joey's Big Break," she's terrified of anything touching her eyes.
Again, Phoebe meets her birth father after an emotional buildup. She had tried to work up the courage to meet him in earlier seasons, but ends up running into him at her grandmother's funeral on season five, episode 13, "The One with Joey's Bag."
The birds aren't seen again, but the duck is mentioned when it eats Rachel's face cream and gets sick on season seven, episode two, "The One with Rachel's Book." (OK, we're all thinking it now: Did Rachel's face cream kill the duck?)
On season one, episode four, "The One With George Stephanopoulos," Ross is depressed because it's the anniversary of the day he first had sex with Carol, his ex-wife who he met in college. He tells Joey and Chandler that it was the first time he had sex with anybody.
There are several other allusions to Ross' college sex life throughout the show. In one flashback episode, Ross is shown passionately making out with a girl at a party, and she reassures him she won't tell anyone about their fling. ("Cool," he replies.) So maybe Ross was just lying to everyone about losing his virginity to Carol.
Ross mentions his young son, Ben, tons of times throughout his ill-fated relationship with Emily. He cites Ben as the reason why he can't move to England with her, both before and after their wedding.
But this seems like a weird premise for many "Friends" fans, since Chandler isn't exactly known as an unemotional guy. He cries twice during season four alone: episode 14, "The One with Joey's Dirty Day," and episode 22, "The One with the Worst Best Man Ever."
Joey doesn't smell too good when he's about to appear in a Charlton Heston movie; Rachel asks Ross to entertain her boss's niece so she can be with Joshua; the girls join heartbroken Chandler at a strip joint.
With Chandler's best friend Joey away on a fishing trip, the girls try to help him over his break-up from Kathy. Meanwhile, Rachel turns to Ross to entertain her boss's niece when a chance to spend the evening with Joshua opens up, and a maloderous Joey returns from his fishing trip in desperate need of a shower, which he finds in Charlton Heston's dressing room.
Monica: How did it go last night?
Rachel: Well, I didn't see Joshua. But I did punch a girl in the face.
Phoebe: What? Why?
Rachel: Well, the whole night was horrible. It was pouring down with rain. And when I got there there was no Rachel Green on the list. But there was a Rachel Greep.
Phoebe: Wow. So did you get to meet her?
Rachel: No, there is no Rachel Greep. But then this other girl overheard us. And she was all, "I'm Rachel Greep! I'm Rachel Greep!" And he let her right in.
Monica: So you hit her in the face?
Rachel: No, she was already in. But then this big bitch behind me tried to steal my umbrella, so I clocked her.
Rachel: Emily. I'm Rachel Green.
Emily: Thank goodness.
Rachel: There's been a teeny, teeny change of plans. It turns out I'm not free tonight, so-
Emily: Really? Well, that's just lovely. Isn't it? I must've missed your call, even though I didn't leave the flat all day.
Rachel: Well, l-
Emily: No, no, no. That's not rude. It's perfectly in keeping with the trip where I've been run down by one of your wiener carts and been strip-searched at the airport. Apparently, to you people I look like someone who's a balloon full of cocaine stuffed up their bum.
Monica: I think you look great.
Emily: Good night. It was very nice to meet you.
Rachel: I'll get her.
Ross: Please, hurry.
