Plot

Part I

Ross has a paleontology convention in Barbados, and the gang tags along with him. Phoebe can't stop thinking about her ex Mike, while going out with David. Rachel has feelings for Joey but doesn't know how to tell him. Monica and Chandler try to prevent David from proposing marriage to Phoebe.

Part II

Joey and Charlie see they have nothing in common and decide to break up. Charlie tells Ross that she also broke up with Joey because she had feelings for "someone else" and then they kiss. Joey after seeing this goes to kiss Rachel. Meanwhile, Chandler and Phoebe are bored watching Monica and Mike play an extremely long game of ping-pong. After Monica hurts her wrist, Chandler takes over for her and wins the game.

gollark: My backup disks are, as I have said, quite slow HDDs.

gollark: Even *my* archive format is better in some ways, despite its horrible flaws.

gollark: > using a hilariously outdated and bad archive format designed for tapes with no random access

gollark: > tar

gollark: My quick prototypes (which also last forever, like all temporary solutions) are mostly python/JS.
