"The One With All The Cheesecakes" is the eleventh episode of the seventh season of Friends, which aired on NBC on January 4, 2001. Phoebe's old flame David visits from Minsk for an evening of romance. Rachel and Chandler swipe deliveries of a particularly tasty cheesecake from their neighbor's doorstep.
Plot
Chandler and Rachel eat a cheesecake that was accidentally delivered to their door and it's the best cheesecake they've ever had. Another cheesecake gets delivered and they try to resist and drop it off to their neighbour that was supposed to receive it. Rachel and Chandler find the cheesecake untouched in front of the neighbour's door so they take it. Rachel eats some of the cheesecake while Chandler's not there and they end up fighting over it, resulting in the cheesecake falling all over the hallway floor, but it's so good that they eat it right off the floor. Ross is invited to a cousin's wedding but Monica isn't, so she makes Ross take her as his date so she can confront the bride about why she wasn't invited. When she finally does, she sees that the reason she wasn't invited is that the groom is one of her ex-boyfriends. Joey cancels a dinner with Phoebe for a date, and Phoebe yells at him and makes him feel really bad. They agree to have dinner the following night, but when Phoebe meets David, the love of her life who moved to Russia, and learns that he is only in town for one night, she has a moral dilemma about doing the same thing to Joey that he had done to her.
