[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Monica wants Chandler's dad (Kathleen Turner) to be at their wedding knowing Chandler would regret it for the rest of his life if his father wasn't there. Monica and Chandler travel to Las Vegas to see Chandler's father at a drag queen bar called Viva Las Gaygas. At first distant with his cross-dressing father, Chandler eventually invites him to the wedding.

Rachel finds out she is the only one who wasn't able to drive Monica's Porsche and steals it from Ross. When she gets pulled over for speeding she shamelessly flirts with the police officer in order to get out the ticket. Ross insists on driving the car but gets pulled over for driving too slow (Ross was driving 37mph on a 60mph road). When he tries Rachel's method of flirting with the officer, he fails miserably.

Joey talks to Phoebe's boyfriend and discovers he was wearing ladies underwear. Joey asks Phoebe about it and she said that they switched underwear. Phoebe began gloating to Joey saying that he was uncomfortable about his masculinity since he was afraid to wear ladies underwear. When he finally does, he and Phoebe get in a really girly chat - and decides it's time to take off the girl underwear.
