[edit] Plot Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Joey doesn't tell the others about his plans to throw a party on the roof of the building. He also hides that he's invited the Days of Our Lives cast, since the girls embarrass him when they meet celebrities. Rachel discovers the truth about the secret party and eventually, everybody knows with the exception of Chandler. Ross meets Charlie, a fellow paleontology professor and, attracted to her, he invites her to the party. Rachel and Monica go the party and act like crazy fans of D.O.O.L while Ross is intimidated by Charlie's list of former boyfriends. Meanwhile, Chandler is at the play the friends were given tickets to ("Why Don't You Like Me?"). At the end of the D.O.O.L party, Rachel looks for Joey and Ross looks for Charlie, and they find Joey and Charlie kissing. The next night, Chandler takes Pheobe and Rachel to the one woman play, pretending he liked it. When it starts, he says, "I can't believe you guys bought that! Enjoy your slow death!" and runs away.
