At dad Jack Geller's birthday party, Dr. Richard Burke has some trouble hearing comments about his unspecified date, Monica more hearing about hers and the worst when she's accidentally in the bathroom while her parents get intimate. After a tiny row about using each-others stuff, even soap, Joey considers moving out of Chandler's apartment to live alone for the first time now he has a good contract and another actor moves to an even posher one.—KGF Vissers

Turns out Joey was using Chandler's toothbrush for unclogging the drain. And he licks spoons and puts them back in drawer without cleaning them.. They visit the party of Joey's co-star from the TV show and Joey comments on how he likes the apartment. The co-star offers the apartment to Joey, as he himself is moving to a bigger place. It has park view and high ceilings. Now that he has a steady income, Joey thinks he should have his own apartment. Chandler is shocked and is upset when Joey says that he has enough money now that he doesn't need a roommate anymore (as Chandler says he is not staying with Joey to save money). Chandler is sarcastic and says that Joey should take the apartment and Joey agrees. Chandler thinks this was just a fight, but Joey goes ahead and books the new apartment. This upsets Chandler even more. They argue over who gets to keep the Foosball table and eventually Chandler loses it to Joey in a Foosball game. Eventually, Joey leaves the table behind, saying Chandler needs the practice.

Monica struggles to tell her parents that she is dating Richard. It is Jack's birthday and both Monica and Richard are invited (Richard is Jack's best friend). But Jack & Judy have no idea that they are dating. Monica doesn't plan on saying anything till she knows that Richard is serious about her. Monica hears Judy and her friend talking about how Richard has a 20 yr old Twinkies in the city. They discuss how the girl may not have enough IQ, or not even pretty, but just young enough so things are still pointing up. Meanwhile Jack is pestering Richard for details on his fling, while he resists. Jack says he understands the mid-life crisis since he got a Porsche when he turned 50.. He offers that one day, Richard can borrow the Porsche and he can (ROss begs him not to finish that sentence).. Richard meets Monica and discusses telling her parents about their relationship. Monica gets stuck in the bathroom (thats when Richard met her), when Richard exits, but Judy enters at the same time. She hides in the shower, and has to hear her parents have sex.

Later that same day, Monica introduces Richard to her parents as her boyfriend. Jack & Judy are upset, but are not able to say anything due to the guests in the house.

Rachel and Phoebe want to get tattoos. Phoebe wanted to get a Lily as her mom's name is Lily. Ross is against getting a tattoo as he thinks one should not scar their body for life. Rachel gets 2nd thoughts because Ross is not in favor, but Phoebe convinces her that its not 1922 anymore when men used to tell women what to do.. Phoebe chickens out at the last minute (she got psyched out that they use needles to put on the tattoo), resulting in nothing more than a tiny blue dot (which she says is how Earth looks like from far away, and how her mother sees her), while Rachel gets a heart tattoo embedded on her butt-cheek. Ross changes his mind about tattoos altogether upon seeing Rachel's tattoo and obviously turned on by it.
