- The gang frantically search for Ross's monkey Marcel after Rachel loses him.
- Ross asks Rachel to keep Marcel for a day, and she loses him. Everyone starts looking for him, and Rachel calls Animal Control over to help, but she doesn't know that Ross is not allowed to have an exotic monkey. The Animal Control employee is in fact a former schoolmate of Monica and Rachel, and she hates them, so they all race to find the monkey first.—Pruneau
- When Rachel reads her ex Barry is about to marry her friend Mindy, she's amazed to have mixed feelings. Then Barry appears at the apartment. Ross leaves his capucin monkey with Rachel while he gets the right wine for what he hopes will be a romantic evening with her, but distracted Rachel leaves the door open and Marcel disappears. Ross is frantic and everybody goes looking. He is furious to find out Rachel called animal control as Marcel is an illegal exotic pet. The animal control officer turns out to be Louisa, who carries a deep grudge against Monica and Rachel for ignoring her in high-school...—KGF Vissers
- Rachel finds out that her ex-fiance, Barry, is engaged to marry Mindy (Jennifer Grey), the woman who was to be Rachel's maid of honor. Rachel is jealous of Barry and Minday and tells Ross it would be better if she was with someone else.
Ross still pines over Rachel, and is about to ask her out when he's interrupted by the rest of the gang. He asks Rachel (who is alone in the apartment) to watch Marcel for him. Ross tells the guys that he will ask Rachel out when sees her when he goes to pick Marcel (he will take a bottle of wine and try to woo her). But Rachel lets Marcel escape (the door was open (when she opened it to throw out the Marcel's poop from Monica's shoe) and she was watching TV). The gang arrives before Ross and Monica organizes them into teams to search the building. Monica and Phoebe check with Mr Heckles (Larry Hankin), but no luck. The guys run into 2 hot and sweaty girls, who were having radiator trouble. The guys really want to help them out, but they give up as they need to find Marcel.
Not knowing that Ross' ownership of Marcel is illegal, she calls Animal Control for assistance. Ross comes back and starts to ask Rachel out, when she explains that she lost Marcel (who was out on the balcony, watching the proceedings inside the apartment). Possession of an illegal and exotic animal is punishable by 2 yrs in prison.
The responding Animal control agent, Luisa (Megan Cavanagh), is a former high school classmate of Rachel and the Gellers (although Luisa quickly points out that both of them have no clue who she is). Since Luisa was none too fond of Rachel (she spent 4 yrs ignoring Luisa.. Luisa is OK with Monica as she used to be fat and had her own problems), she isn't willing to cut any slack (Rachel begs her to let the matter go, but Luisa says that Rachel was a bitch in high school and she sees the monkey, its hers).
Monica and Phoebe find Marcel in the basement. Luisa also reaches there and accidentally shoots Phoebe in the rear with a tranquilizer dart. when Phoebe jumps in front of Marcel to take the dart and allowing him to escape. Marcel is eventually picked by Mr Heckles, who dresses him up in a Tu-Tu. Ross meanwhile continues to have a beef with Rachel, and says that Things just sort of "happen" around her. Rachel notices a man delivering bananas to their building and follows him. They find Marcel at Mr Heckles. Luisa captures Marcel, and only relents when Rachel threatens to report her for shooting Phoebe in the ass with a tranquilizer.
After they get Marcel back (he wont let Ross remove the Tu-Tu), Ross is about to tell Rachel of his feelings (he also apologizes for being hard on her earlier) when Barry bursts in and tells Rachel he's still in love with her.
