* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the extended cut of the episode there's a message on the answering machine from Rachel's sister. The fact that she doesn't bother to leave her name and the content of the message suggest that she's Rachel's ''only'' sister. Later seasons would establish that Rachel has ''two'' sisters.
-->'''Rachel's sister:''' Did you ever sleep with Donnie Mazio? Cause last night he kept on shouting "Two for two".

leave.

The episode begins with Joey and Chandler hanging out in Monica's apartment. At Chandler's instigation, Joey takes a sip from an appetizing-looking drinking glass, only to discover that it's chicken fat. "[[SchmuckBait Yeah, I did that five minutes ago]]," Chandler agrees. After this Ross arrives, and the episode unfolds:
* Ross will be giving a speech at the museum and has invited everyone to attend with him.
* Phoebe arrives properly dressed. However, a hummus mishap leads to a massive stain on her bodice. She eventually hides it by adorning herself with a wrapping-paper bow.
* Monica, still pining after [[TheOneThatGotAway Richard]], hacks into his answering machine to prove that a message she left was totally casual. (It wasn't.) The one after it, however, is in a woman's voice, saying that she had fun the other evening. This leaves Monica depressed until she realizes it was Richard's daughter Michelle, leading to even more compromising phone calls. She solves the problem by deleting the message on Richard's machine and then leaving a new one... that ends up [[HumiliationConga overwriting his outgoing message]].
* Joey and Chandler are arguing over who gets to sit in an armchair, leading to the above hummus mishap. As neither is dressed yet, Ross sends Chandler across the hall to get into this tuxedo. When it's Joey's turn, he abandons the chair... but takes the cushions.
* Chandler, it turns out, had planned for this by hiding Joey's underwear. Joey retaliates by putting on ''all'' of Chandler's clothes -- whilst still [[GoingCommando without underwear]]. Angrily, Ross bans them both from attending.
* Rachel has been trying to decide what to wear, constantly changing her mind. Ross criticizes her indecision, inadvertently offending her and leading to decide that she's flaking on the event.

To prove his remorse to Rachel, Ross offers to do anything he is asked to. "[[ChekhovsGun He could drink the fat]]," Joey suggests. Ross does -- or at least is about to, until Rachel forgives him. He runs downstairs and hails two cabs, and the TrueCompanions rush to the event... after Rachel finds the right dress with seven seconds to spare.

In TheStinger, a fellow museum employee sits in Chandler's chair to congratulate Ross on something. Chandler [[BrickJoke demands he surrender his underwear]].
