The one Chandler and Monica see Janice again

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 11 March 2009]

Ross is angry that Joey kissed Charlie, since he was interested in her. Rachel didn't like it too, since she was determined to kiss Joey. Ross thinks that Joey and Charlie doesn't have anything in common,specially because she is such an intelligent professor and Joey is so stupid.

Charlie wants to visit a lot of places in the city, but Joey doesn't know very well the places she wants to go. He asks Ross to help him, since he doesn't want to look stupid to her. Even being angry with the situation, Ross tries to help Joey,specially giving tips about the museum art.

Rachel wins a gift certificate to a new spa in SoHo, but Monica tells her that Phoebe hates those corporate massage chains. Phoebe sees the certificate and asks Rachel not to go to that place, since those kind of big massage chains are the ones responsible for her unemployment. Rachel goes to the Spa in secret, and when she is there, she discovers that her massage therapist is Phoebe.

Monica and Chandler go to a fertility clinic to make fertility tests,since they were trying to have a baby for over a year. Chandler doesn't feel comfortable in this kind of place, and feels even worst when they meet Janice there.

The One with the Fertility Test

[ComedyFan2010 · 6/10 · 11 September 2011]

Not a very funny episode. The one great thing is that we get another random visit from Janice, right in the fertility clinic. And once again she makes a character being worried

Phoebe is being a hypocrite. And I find the scene of her massaging Rachel pretending to be a Swedish person with a normal Swedish name, Ikea pretty well done. The girl at the reception desk is also funny with her weird way of talking

And Joey sees that he is too stupid for Charlie. Yeah...I would say him and Charlie are even a worse couple than him and Rachel. I wonder if this story was created so that people suddenly believe that him and Rachel are great together

a few thoughts

I don't like Joey- Charlie. Probably they make it just because there wants to be more episodes. Also still with the same reason we see Janice everywhere. It makes me bored.

Please stand for the Swedish national anthem

This is another decent if not spectacular episode of the show that is winding down towards its series finale.

We get the almost now token once a series appearance of Janice, as ever played with aplomb by Maggie Wheeler in the Chandler/Monica story line that sees the couple at a fertility clinic. Matthew Perry and Courtney Cox have played this story line out beautifully, and this continues here.

There were some nice moments in the Ross/Joey story as Ross tries to help Joey with his relationship with Charlie, even though he'd like to be with her himself.

The Phoebe/Rachel story line was a bit throw away but is funny enough.

This is a decent episode, and one that thankfully doesn't lean too heavily on the 'Rachel/Joey' love story.
