* ApatheticCitizens: When Phoebe tries to assure him that things can't be that bad, Earl points out he's been openly talking about killing himself and not a single co-worker has so much as looked up from a desk in surprise. He goes another step forward by asking for everyone's attention just so he can outright say he's going to kill himself, and absolutely no one reacts. Phoebe outright calls them jerks.
* IWasNeverHere: Chandler after thinking he broke Joey's Barcalounger. He says it to the television.
* ItsPersonal: Phoebe is out to prevent Earl from killing himself since her own mother killed herself.

Rachel breaks Joey's Barcalounger, so they go buy a new one. Chandler thinks he is responsible for breaking the chair while Rachel and Joey are out and replaces it with his own. Ross and Monica go to their parents' home to take their childhood things with them, but Monica discovers most of her stuff was destroyed. Phoebe gets a job as a telephone saleswoman, but finds herself trying to comfort Earl, a suicidal man (played by Creator/JasonAlexander).

!!Tropes:
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Jack tries to hide from Ross that he smokes, but abandons all pretense when they find Monica's childhood things destroyed.
* CoolChair: Rachel buys a chair with a lot of nifty built-in things like loudspeakers. It is meant to replace Joey's broken Barcalounger, but since it apparently got "healed" (actually Chandler replaced the broken one with his own because he thinks he's the one who broke it) while they were out, Rachel gets to keep the new one, making Joey envious. Then he breaks the Barcalounger so he gets to sit in the new chair.
* MidlifeCrisisCar: Jack's Porsche. He realizes that he looks foolish driving it, so he doesn't mind giving it to Monica.
* ParentalFavoritism: Jack realizes that he and Judy made Monica feel bad by showing favoritism towards Ross, so to make up for it (and also the loss of her stuff), he decides to give her his Porsche. Ross is beside himself at how unfair that is.
* SkewedPriorities: Jack used the boxes containing Monica's stuff to protect his Porsche during a flood, leading to them getting destroyed.
* SoulCrushingDeskJob: Earl works some sort of desk job at an office and laments that nobody there knows him or listens to him shouting that he'll kill himself.
