"The One Where Ross Dates A Student" is the eighteenth episode of the sixth season of Friends, which aired on March 9, 2000.

PlotEdit

Ross gets his anonymous teacher evaluations back and finds out that he has an admirer amongst his students. The student, Elizabeth, asks Ross out. There was a fire in Phoebe's apartment probably due to Phoebe's candles. Phoebe stays at Joey's and Rachel at Monica's until the apartment will be fixed. Chandler's friend Dana from college directs the new Al Pacino movie so Chandler has to take her out to get Joey an audition. Ross and Elizabeth have a great time on their date. Phoebe finds out that the fire was caused by Rachel's hair iron so Rachel has to stay at Joey's and Phoebe can stay at Hotel Monica. Rachel actually enjoys her time at Joey's because she can mess around as much as she wants and Phoebe gets quite annoyed with Monica's constant attention. Ross thinks it isn't against the rules to date a student but people will frown upon their relationship. He decides to go out with her because he doesn't care what people think but his colleagues tell him it actually is against the rules. Ross and Elizabeth like each other too much to stop going out. Joey gets the audition but he forgets about it.

TriviaEdit

ContinuityEdit

• In this episode, Rachel wears the same gray shirt that says "Girls" on it as Susan in season three's The One With The Metaphorical Tunnel, except that on Rachel's shirt, the font is green and on Susan's shirt, it's purple.
• When Monica introduces Rachel to her new room after the fire, she asks her how she wants the eggs in the morning so she can bring them to her in bed. Later, she doesn't allow Phoebe to eat cookies in the bedroom because of the "crumbies".
• The smell in Joey's apartment is old shrimp. Rachel is the one who figures it out. This can only be seen in the DVD episode with extras.
• Monica and Phoebe living together proves to be as annoying to Phoebe as it had been as seen in The One With The Flashback, both times for similar reasons.
• When Chandler, Joey and Ross are talking about Donna Keystone from college, Ross is holding a water bottle; it disappears, then he is holding it again.
