[edit] Plot

Chandler becomes upset when he catches Joey licking a spoon and putting it back into the silverware drawer. He finds out Joey has also used his toothbrush to unclog drains. They put their differences aside long enough to go to a party hosted by one of Joey's Days of Our Lives castmates. When the castmate overhears Joey admiring his apartment, he offers it to him - he's moving to a bigger place and needs to sublet his current one. Having never lived on his own before, Joey considers it. But back home when he and Chandler get into another argument about spoons, Joey decides to move out - much to Chandler's dismay.

Monica and Ross attend their father's birthday party. The party guests are abuzz about Richard's new girlfriend - a "Twinkie in the city." Monica endures hearing this for hours until she finally admits that she's the Twinkie.

Rachel and Phoebe decide to get tattoos together. Rachel almost backs out when she finds out Ross doesn't like tattoos, but Phoebe talks her into it. Then Phoebe backs out, because she didn't know they were done with needles - and she's scared of needles. Rachel makes her go back in to get it, but Phoebe freaks out when the needle touches her and ends up with a blue dot on her shoulder. However, Phoebe tells her friends that it's a tattoo of the Earth from a great, great distance - it's how her mother sees her from Heaven. Rachel is showing hers off - a small heart on her hip - when Ross walks in. She's worried what he'll think, and is relieved when he thinks it's sexy.
