Continuity: When Chandler is sitting on the cabinet and Monica and Rachel are talking to him, Rachel is holding a spoon and ice-cream and sets it down. In next shot she is holding them again.

The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Phoebe tries to help Joey in getting an audition that she forgot to tell him about. After she had success in pretending to be his agent (and Joey got the job) he asks Phoebe to help him with the other auditions. (Phoebe is much more talented then Estelle!)

Ross starts to get worried when he sees Ben playing with a girl's doll. He tries to substitute the Barbie for other boy's toys. Monica reveals in public that Ross dressed like a woman when he was a child, and Carol & Susan has one of the best times of their life at that moment.

Chandler is afraid to have a serious commitment with Janice, but the Friends give him support to go ahead with her.
