[edit] Plot
The friends learn that Ugly Naked Guy is moving and Ross tries to get his great apartment. While Rachel, Ross and Phoebe have a look at "Ugly Naked apartment", Phoebe sees Monica and Chandler kiss. Joey is grateful that they can finally tell them that everyone knows about their relationship, but Phoebe and Rachel don't want to tell them and decide to have their fun by messing with them, instead. Phoebe makes a fake pass at Chandler and Rachel gives them all her laundry when Monica and Chandler go to "do laundry".
Ross tries to bribe Ugly Naked Guy with a basket of mini-muffins, but so many people want the apartment and bribe him with more extravagant things such as a dirt bike. Monica figures out that Phoebe knows about them and that she is trying to freak them out by showing an interest in Chandler. Monica now wants to mess with Phoebe and Rachel now and gets Chandler to pretend like he was attracted to Phoebe as well. Ross is busy looking for a way to bond with Ugly Naked Guy, meanwhile. Chandler invites Phoebe over so she can feel his bicep and "more"... At this point, Rachel and Phoebe realize that Monica and Chandler are messing with them back, so Phoebe accepts Chandler's invitation.
Ross visits Ugly Naked Guy and bonds with him by eating mini-muffins with him naked. Chandler and Phoebe both wait for the other one to back down on their faux-date, but neither does and they end up kissing awkwardly before Chandler gives up and yells out that he loves Monica. Now everyone except Ross knows officially. Ross ends up getting the apartment and sees Monica and Chandler through the window and freaks out.
