[edit] Plot

Ross accompanies Rachel to Long Island after Rachel's father has a heart attack. Rachel wants to sleep with Ross to comfort her, but he doesn't want to take advantage of her vulnerable state. Erica comes to town and Monica and Chandler find out that the baby's father could be two different people: a guy who was good-looking and went to college on a scholarship, or a guy who is in prison for killing his father with a shovel. Phoebe, back from her honeymoon, helps Joey prepare for an audition by teaching him how to speak french. Joey does not progress well and just speaks gibberish, thinking he's doing a great job. Phoebe quits at first, but later goes to the audition and explains to the director in French that Joey is her retarded younger brother so he'll take pity on Joey.
