The One with the Secret Closet

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 3 September 2011]

The story about the closet is pretty good. It doesn't only make us wonder what is there but we also get to hear Joey's guesses (Richard or flesh eating bugs) that make one laugh. And the ending is pretty good. Not only do we see a slightly messy side of Monica but she also tells Chandler that he can't use it because he would mess it up!

We also get to see the complications of Ross not being able to be there for Rachel like he would like to, this leads to making the story more interesting because she will move in with him

And we get a few laughs from Monica being massaged. Although I don't know why Phoebe is feeling embarrassed at the end, Monica started it, what does she expect, lol

The one Phoebe's discovers that Monica receives Massages!

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 17 April 2009]

Phoebe discovers by accident that Monica is receiving massages from other masseur, Alexandra, and stays sad with Monica. Monica never allowed Phoebe to make her massages, but she tells Phoebe that she thinks it is weird to receive massages from a friend. Even so, Monica gives Phoebe a chance to do a massage on her.

Joey still is in love with Rachel and he is present when the baby kicks for the first time. Ross is upset that every time the baby does something new or something happens related to the baby, he is never present and Joey is the one who is always helping Rachel. Joey stays touched to see Ross so sad, and he gives Rachel the idea of living with Ross.

Chandler is curious to know what is inside a closet that he never saw open in the apartment. He asks Monica informations, but she almost doesn't say anything about it. Chandler gets paranoid about what is inside the closet (even thinking that Richard is in there) and tries to open the door in all ways he can.

Richard in the closet?

The 'Joey loves Rachel' story again is the main focus in this episode, and I enjoyed the fact that there were some scenes between Joey and Chandler, as Joey turns to his best pal for guidance.

The heartbreak that Joey feels as he accepts that it would be better for Rachel to live with Ross was very touching, and beautifully played by Matt Le Blanc.

The Monica/Phoebe story line was fun too, and it's nice to see Lisa Kudrow being given something a little more substantial to do.

It's another Joey heavy episode, and all the better for it.

Joey Being The Father, Massage Noises and Secret Closet

[vivianla · 29 December 2020]

Joey has a dream that he is there when Rachel is in labour and the baby's face is Ross. He wakes up and Rachel is there asking him to feel the baby kicking.

Phoebe massages Monica after finding out Mon has been getting massaged by someone else for three years. Mon says she is uncomfortable because she is naked and Phoebe replies they lived together and she has seen Mon naked. Mon says that was different because they were roommates and when??? Mon makes sex noises and Phoebe tries to not hear when massaging.

Joey takes Rachel to the hospital after she is not feeling well and pages Ross to come to the hospital. Joey says he has been there for his sisters' pregnancies so he has experience. Rachel says she needs to go back in the room and after Ross insists on her telling the reason she says she forgot her underwear.

Ross comes to the apartment with a sandwich for Rachel. Rachel asks what is in it and Ross says tuna and pickles. She runs to the bathroom and Joey says that pickles make her sick.

Chandler tries to open the secret closet door and he does eventually pry the whole door out. It is filled with stuff that looks unorganized. Chandler asks if he can share it and Mon says she is afraid he will mess it up.
