[edit] Plot
Chandler and Rachel are at a beauty parlor, getting a manicure and a pedicure, respectively. Chandler seems to be among friends: their mailman is here, and so is "Oh my Gawd!" Janice. She has just gotten a divorce. Soon, Chandler finds himself on an unwilling date with her. To stave her off he makes up a story that his company is transferring him to Yemen. Unfortunately, Janice is so intent on spending every last moment with him she can that he is forced to pack his belongings, buy a plane ticket and actually go to Yemen.
Monica, who is currently living in Joey and Chandler's apartment with Rachel (a switch orchestrated in The One With the Embryos), discovers a light switch that does not appear to turn anything on or off. Monica, being the obsessive-compulsive person she is, refuses to rest until she can figure out what the switch is connected to. She takes a lot of pains, including plugging sound devices to every socket in the house, and getting the blueprints to the building. This only culminates in her making many holes in the apartment wall. Over the credits, the switch is revealed to be connected to the electric socket powering the television...in Monica's old apartment.
Emily and Ross, when returning from a date, run into some of Emily's British friends. They invite Ross to join in a rugby game the next day. Ross (out of jealousy for Emily's bulky former boyfriend Liam, one of the rugby players) decides that he is masculine enough to play. Joey and Phoebe think he should bow out, and correctly so when Ross gets in a bad shape after playing for the first half of the game. But Emily tells him about the opposing players' weak spots, resulting in Ross doing significantly better and winning the admiration of Emily, though at the cost of a few broken bones.
