Ross meets an amazing girl from Poughkeepsie on the train. Rachel hates to be alone around the festive season. She doesn't necessarily need a real relationship but would love to have a fling. Monica is still being picked on at the restaurant. Chandler promised Rachel to fix her up with someone from work and the guys at work all suck up to Chandler because they want to go out with Rachel. Monica hires Joey only to fire him again to show the others at the restaurant who the boss is. Ross can't decide between the girl from Poughkeepsie and another girl who isn't as fun but lives in the city. Rachel goes out with a guy named Patrick and really liked him but is furious when she finds out that Chandler told everyone she was looking for a fling. Joey refuses to be fired because he makes so much money with the tips he gets. Ross decides to break up with both women because he is so exhausted from seeing the one in Poughkeepsie and doesn't really like the other one.

I can't believe this episode was

Only in the 4th season. Seems like/I thought it was deeper into the series.
A fun episode. They haven't destroyed the characters yet.
Love Fred Stoller here...and even Jamie Keilar too.
Great episode about nothing. Enjoyable entertainment to shut my brain off and just watch some junk food.

Really good episode!

Wow! A second amazing episode in a row! And the best storyline here is the ain one, with the girl from Poughkeepsie and Ross. I really loved it, it was so funny and memorable! The ending is really good and the train was a nice change of setting.
The Chandler\Rachel storyline was also amazing! Usually when those two have a storyline together, it has something to do with Joanna. However, here the storyline wasn't about her at all (well, she died in the previous episode, so the reason is clear). It was about Chandler's job, and it was very creative. I also like the Chandler\Rachel moment at the end, even though I hope it isn't a start of something more, as I hope for the Ross and Rachel relationship to be back soon.

Monica is upset the kitchen staff still hates her. She shows them her hat with the writing they did. Her eyes looked so beautiful though when she put on the hat - they sparkled.
Chandler mentions a director who intentionally used one person and fired them in front of everyone to show who is boss. Joey offers to take that role.
Chandler goes up to a man at work asking if he is interested in going on a date with Rachel. Another man overheard and asks if it is the same beautiful Rachel he saw at that party. Men all want Rachel.
Ross takes the train to meet the girl from Poughkeepsie but is asleep when the train arrives. The beautiful woman attempts to wake Ross up by pounding on the window.
Ross wakes up in Montreal where a stunningly beautiful short-haired blonde is sitting next to him. Her eyes sparkle. She lives in Nova Scotia.
Chandler asks Rachel if she is interested in a Canadian hockey team he got tickets for.

The One with the Girl from Poughkeepsie
ComedyFan201025 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is a great improvement from the previous one but still pretty mediocre. There is nothing very funny or interesting in it.
The story about Ross dating a girl that lives far was just not very fun. There wasn't much happening. It is one of the stories that I forget right away and don't remember the episode existed.
Same goes for the story of Chandler hooking up Rachel with his co workers. Although it did make me chuckle a few times When it comes to Monica's story I just enjoyed the parts when she was harassed by the people who work in the restaurant. She deserved it. She sure isn't a good person as she claims to be. She is egoistic and arrogant but at the same time has no balls to fight for herself, this is what her kind of people usually are like

First of all, the Ross story line was dull. No real plot to it, and no real laughs.
I always like story lines that put Joey and Monica together, and thought that the one in this episode worked well. Matt Le Blanc was pretty much the straight man to the neurotic Monica and it was funny.
There was also some big laughs and equally some sweet moments in the Rachel/Chandler story line, as Chandler tried to fix Rachel up. Of all three of the stories this was the one that worked the best for me.
A solid episode of the show in my opinion.
