[edit] Plot

Ross, still feeling bad about his fight with Rachel, wakes up the next morning - only to find Chloe coming out of his bathroom. He immediately realises that they must have slept together. To make matters worse, he finds a message from Rachel on his answering machine saying she wants to work things out. She drops by - before Chloe's had a chance to leave - and they reconcile, albeit briefly. Ross wants to make sure Rachel never finds out about his transgression, and enlists the help of Joey and Chandler. They point out that he has to stop the "trail" from the girl he slept with (Chloe) to the girl he doesn't want to find out about it (Rachel). A frantic Ross follows the trail: He talks to Chloe's co-worker Isaac, then Isaac's sister Jasmine - who is also one of Phoebe's coworkers at the massage parlor. However, Ross inadvertently leaves out one very important piece of the trail - Jasmine's roommate, Gunther. Given that he's in love with Rachel, Gunther is all too eager to tell Rachel what Ross has done.

Monica orders "Waxine," a supposedly painless leg-waxing kit. She and Phoebe try it out, only to find that it's not painless at all. Their screams of pain worry Joey and Chandler, who come over to see what the problem is. All four end up trapped in Monica's bedroom while Ross and Rachel try to work out their problems. Not having any food in the bedroom, the four are forced to eat the organic leg wax, and Joey contemplates getting a "new walk."

After serious discussion, Ross and Rachel realise that they still love each other, but Ross's actions from the previous night cause Rachel to see him differently - and she refuses to take him back.

[edit] Trivia

  • Both David Schwimmer (Ross) and Jennifer Aniston (Rachel) cried for real while filming this episode.
  • In many subsequent episodes Ross would often argue justify his one-night stand because "We were on a break" and Rachel would argue that they were not. However in this episode it is Rachel who first uses the expression "We were on a break". [1]

[edit] Goofs

  • You can see both David and Jennifer's shadow from the stage lights on Ross's door in the scene at his apartment.
