Joey is mad at Chandler after learning that he and Kathy kissed. Ross plays his music for everyone.
Tropes
- Apology Gift: After kissing Kathy, Chandler buys new items for the apartment to replace what had been stolen earlier in the season. In the last scene, though, Joey realizes why Chandler bought all this stuff and says it's tainted by his betrayal.
- Downer Ending: Joey denounces Chandler for his betrayal and says the apartment is empty as far as he's concerned.
- Dreadful Musician: Ross' "Sound" is just random sound effects. No one likes it except Phoebe.Monica: Oh, God bless my dad for soundproofing the basement!
Rachel: I can't believe I ever let him touch me with those fingers. - Eating Lunch Alone: Rachel's subplot, which is only available in the DVD cut of the episode, sees her go to lunch alone when nobody else is available to go with her and ends up loving the experience. She eventually stops eating alone after she turns down a date to be by herself. When she asks the guy out again his Internal Monologue reveals that he thinks she's "a freak who eats alone".
- Everyone Has Standards: Ross observes that Joey's the kind of guy who would've just stepped aside had Chandler admitted to his feelings for Kathy. This is confirmed when Chandler talks to Joey.
- Giftedly Bad: Ross is completely unaware of how lousy his "Sound" is, despite managing to clear out the coffee house. Phoebe simply thinks he's unappreciated in his own time and would love to be able to say the same, so Rachel and Monica admit that her music is awful, too. Phoebe doesn't get that they're being sincere.
- Intimate Haircut: Kathy offers to cut Chandler's hair for him after he reveals he had to skip the appointment with his barber. They struggle to ignore the tension between them and there's an Almost Kiss that's interrupted when Joey phones the apartment.
- Poor Communication Kills: The others immediately agree with Ross on how Joey would've stepped aside had Chandler talked to him first. When Chandler asks why no one said earlier, it's clear they've discussed this amongst themselves, just not with him. Also, when Chandler first tells Joey he has feelings for Kathy, Joey is fine with it. "Because you came to me first." (Which Chandler didn't do.)
- Shout-Out: In the final scene, the TV is showing Wonder Woman (1975).
- This Is Unforgivable!: Joey is rightfully upset that Chandler kissed Kathy and got her to break up with him.Chandler: I have no excuses. I was totally over the line.
Joey: Over the line? You... you.. you're so far past the line, you can't even see the line! The line's a dot to you! - Waxing Lyrical: Phoebe to Ross, to get him to play his Sound.Phoebe: Come on! Play that funky music, white boy.
