Rachel starts to feel attracted to Joey
Lady_Targaryen11 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Joey is anxious with his performance in Days of Our Lives. He is going to have a big romance in the Soap Opera and wants to sound convincing. He invites Rachel to watch his performance in the set,since he wants to know her opinion about him. In the set, Rachel stays enchanted by Joey's acting, and she even has romantic dreams with him. Eventually, she starts to desire Joey in real life too.

Chandler wants to go with Monica to a romantic inn in Vermont, but she doesn't have any time available since she is working a lot in the restaurant. He tries to reschedule his reservation, but has the terrible surprise that the reservation is non refundable. Monica gives him the idea of bringing Ross. In the Inn, Ross is addicted to eat candies and also very excited. Chandler has other terrible surprise: there isn't any reservations in his name and he lost the money with the room he reserved. Ross gives Chandler an idea to have his money back: take a lot of stuff from the Hotel.

Monica receives a complaining about the singer who stays out of the restaurant. When she reaches there, she sees Phoebe singing close to the restaurant's door. She tries to convince Phoebe to stop singing, but every time Monica makes a suggestion, Phoebe comes with something even more terrible. They end up fighting because Phoebe stays offended with Monica's way to talk to her.

The One with Rachel's Dream
ComedyFan201011 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I liked Ross and Chandler's road trip. It was pretty fun to see Ross being all "high" on the maple candy and also the idea they had to get what the hotel owed them. They even got tampons ordered to their room, so Monica got some gifts

The whole battle between Monica and Phoebe was pretty funny as well. Once again I am happy to see the old Phoebe back. And the whole poll taking was very funny just as them apologizing at the end was very sweet.

The story of Rachel starting having feelings for Joey just made me think "oh no....". And the whole scene wasn't very fun

A potential 'jump the shark' moment
studioAT12 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The 'Joey loves Rachel' story line in the 8th series of 'Friends' took the show dangerously towards 'jump the shark' territory, but due to a combination of god writing/some wonderful performances from Matt Le Blanc, crisis was averted.

However revisiting that story line, only with Rachel this time liking Joey, as this episode sets up is risky.

The other stories in this episode are OK, nothing overly special. I thought David Schwimmer was very funny in his story with Chandler. The Phoebe/Monica story wasn't as good though.

I think the writers were on risky ground revisiting the Joey/Rachel story line, but apart from that this is another good episode.
