Phoebe sees Chandler and Monica making out from across the way in Ross' apartment (but Ross doesn't see it), meaning that now everybody but Ross knows. They and Joey decide to have some fun with it by having Phoebe hint at wanting to hook up with Chandler and see how uncomfortable he'll get. Monica and Chandler find out that this is the plan, and decide for Chandler to reciprocate to get Phoebe to become uncomfortable instead. The result is a very awkward game of chicken where neither of them wants to do anything romantic with the other but neither wants to back down.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Monica suspects that Phoebe knows about Monica and Chandler because of how Phoebe hit on Chandler (complimenting his attire and physique, while showing particular interest in his biceps), Chandler protests at how quickly she dismisses the idea that Phoebe isn't actually attracted to him. He starts listing off some possible reasons, and then talks about his biceps while running one hand across his opposite arm ... then quickly agrees with Monica after it hits him how unimpressive his muscles are.
