A drunken Rachel calls Ross and reveals her feelings for him on his answering machine. Meanwhile, Monica keeps busy by being Chandler's personal trainer and Phoebe constantly wonders why her current boyfriend won't sleep with her.

Rachel claims to be over Ross and Monica sets her up with a date. Rachel doesn't concentrate on her date and gets really drunk because she is upset that Ross and Julie are going to buy a cat together. Her date tells her she needs a "closure" to get over Ross. Rachel then calls Ross and leaves him a message saying she is over him. When Ross hears the message he is taken aback that Rachel has feelings for him and is very confused. Ross refuses to buy a cat and tells Rachel she had no right telling him about her feelings because he was ok before he knew and now he isn't. They argue and kiss - for the first time!—Anonymous

Ross and Julie decide to get a cat together and this makes Rachel very jealous. Rachel goes on a date with Michael (Arye Gross) but after drinking too much wine, obsesses about Ross (she is bummed to know that cats live for 15-16 yrs. She mentions that all she can thinks about is Ross, Julie and their cat). Her date suggests she needs closure (as he himself is going through a divorce and closure is the key, whatever it takes to get her to say "I am over you"), so Rachel leaves a message (after she borrows the mobile phone from a stranger at the next table) on Ross' answering machine claiming she is "over" him. After hearing it the next morning, a stunned Ross wrestles with choosing her or Julie. Rachel admits to Ross that she has feelings for him. She also tells Ross that Chandler told her that Ross also had feelings for Ross, before he hooked up with Julie.

Next, he visits a pet shop with Julie, where he shall choose between two cats Julie has shortlisted for him, a task that utterly over-strains him.

Chandler gains a few pounds (he is feeling self conscious and that everyone at his work parties are ignoring him), so a depressed, out-of-work Monica volunteers to be his personal trainer, going overboard in the process. Monica trains Chandler really hard and he is in really bad shape.. He cant complete the daily runs and cant manage 5 sit-ups (even with the promise of Monica flashing him if he completes). Chandler complains to Joey that Monica is insane. Chandler gets into a hand fluffing contest with Monica and Monica throws him down to the pavement. Chandler refuses to go for a run on a Sunday, because its God's day.. But Monica wont let him stop. Chandler has to get Monica to back down by reducing her energy by telling her that she doesn't have a job or a boyfriend.

Phoebe takes Joey's advice when her new boyfriend is reluctant to sleep with her. Joey suggests that new boyfriend might be gay, but Phoebe says that she felt his erection when they went dancing. Joey tells Phoebe that she is beautiful and to just go ahead and ask Scott about what she wants. So Phoebe does what Joey says. Scott tells her that he was worried not to hurt Phoebe's feelings by not calling her the next day.. and wanted to wait till he knew he was serious. Phoebe convinces Scott that they can have casual sex and no commitments and that this is a great idea. Joey thinks Scott is really smart to turn the tables on Phoebe like this.

Ross, upset and citing numerous reasons, tells Rachel it is too late for them to be together and he is staying with Julie. At the end of the episode, Ross goes to see Rachel at the coffee shop as she is closing up (after Gunther (James Michael Tyler), the new manager has also left for home), and they passionately kiss (after Ross tells Rachel that she shouldn't have told him about her feelings and should have said something before he met Julie)
