[edit] Plot
Monica and Phoebe are in Central Perk when Joey enters to tell them that he is nominated for a Soapie Award for his return as Drake Ramoray in Days of Our Lives. They are very excited about the news. He also tells Rachel, who is equally excited, and decides to take her to the awards show. She agrees to go with him.
Ross finishes up conducting a lecture and afterwards, tells one of his students that he failed the midterm. The student tells Ross that he failed because he is in love with Ross. This totally freaks out Ross who tells the student that the two of them cannot be in a relationship together.
Back at Central Perk, a guy is checking out Monica, and Phoebe tells her to approach him. Monica tells her that she is engaged, but Phoebe tells her that she should have a backup, in case things don't work out with Chandler. The guy approaches them instead, and Monica informs him that she's engaged. It turns out that he actually wanted to talk with Phoebe, so Monica gets a little upset.
Back at his apartment, Joey is practicing winning the Soapie Award. Rachel enters, and he tells her that he will also be presenting an award. She gives him tips on what to do if he doesn't win the award.
After her date, Phoebe meets Monica at the restaurant to tell her about the date. After hearing all the great things from Phoebe, Monica realises everything she'd be giving up once she gets married to Chandler. He will be the only one left in her life to kiss, sleep with, and so on. Later, she realises that her relationship with Chandler is deep and meaningful, and tells him this. He then tells her to pull his finger, which causes her to have second thoughts. When she goes to Phoebe for advice, Phoebe tells her that she should keep her feelings to herself and not express them towards Chandler. She eventually changes her mind and tells Monica to go find Chandler and tell him how she really feels. When she questions him about not sleeping with anyone else ever again, Chandler says he is not worried at all. He is just happy that they will be spending the rest of their lives together.
At the awards show, Joey ends up losing and is really upset. When he goes to present an award, the winner doesn't show up. He ends up stealing it, but he agrees to give it back to her after persuading from Rachel. Joey goes to find the winner and give her the award, but she doesn't appreciate it, so he decides to take it.
Ross feels sympathy for failing the student, and decides to change his grade for the better, until he finds out it's just a scam. It turns out that the student has a girlfriend, and had been using the same trick he pulled on Ross with three other teachers. Ross gets even more upset when he confronts the student on the issue, but agrees to pass the student when two other teachers overhear their discussion.
