[edit] Plot

Monica gets back together with her old boyfriend, Fun Bobby. When the group discovers that they somehow went through five bottles of wine, they realise exactly what puts the "Fun" in Fun Bobby: alcohol. Monica convinces him to quit drinking, which turns out to be a bad idea - he becomes, as Chandler refers to him, "Ridiculously Dull Bobby." In order to put up with Bobby's boring stories, Monica develops a drinking habit of her own. Bobby then dumps her because he doesn't feel he can be in a co-dependent relationship.

Meanwhile, Rachel starts dating Russ, a periodontist who bears an eerie resemblance to Ross (although at first, Rachel thinks Russ reminds her of Bob Saget). She catches Ross and Russ arguing, sees the similarities, and freaks out.

Joey's agent, Estelle, gets him an audition for a part on Days of Our Lives. The catch: He has to sleep with the casting agent to get the part. He refuses, then the casting agent offers him an even bigger role. He relents, because he gets the part of "Dr. Drake Ramoray," recurring in at least four episodes.

At the end of the episode, Julie comes into Central Perk to give Ross some of his stuff back. She locks eyes with Russ... and they fall in love at first sight.
