- A bored Ross wreaks havoc in Chandler and Joey's lives. Rachel is uncomfortable with Danny's unusually close relationship with his sister. Phoebe runs into trouble whilst collecting donations for the poor during Christmas.
- Joey's new roommate Ross is bored out of his mind, while on sabbatical, and shows absolutely not aptitude for relaxing and pranks. Phoebe is determined to 'spread joy' all over the city as Santa's elf collecting for charity, but takes it too personal while many New Yorkers rather dump trash then actually donate money in the bin, thus reviving 'street Phoebe'. Joey is exasperated: even a part for an Italian Brooklyn actor his age is nailed by an unfit celebrity, so Ross makes it his mission to coach him creating his own part by writing a script; alas Chandler's idea for a self-invented game gets Joey's attention far easier. Tired of Rachel's hopelessly procrastinating 'plan' Monica plainly asks Danny 'who ignored her on purpose' to date Rachel, and he immediately accepts; she sees him kissing a girl in town, but at his apartment finds it's just his sister Krista, yet instead of relieved she is rather appalled how physically close the adult siblings still are, and the other friends concur. Joey tells Ross and Chandler who are bickering about what Joey should do that he finished fives pages in the library and asks them to test-read aloud- they soon finds it's a script for the two of them to make up...—KGF Vissers
- During his forced time off from work, Ross is bored (who re-arranges the fridge and then prank calls Chandler together with Joey). Meanwhile Joey is getting a lot of rejection at auditions and even Estelle (June Gable) cant find any meaningful work for him. Ross encourages Joey to write his own screenplay (to make something happen for himself) and take charge of his career. Ross decides to make a schedule for Joey and make sure that he sticks to it. Ross assigns Joey to write 5 pages every day. Joey cant play with Chandler to make the schedule. Chandler convinces Joey to play and they end up inventing a new game called fireball. Ross gets mad at Joey for not doing his work. Ross disallows Joey from going to hockey game since he didn't finish his 5 pages. Chandler asks Ross to cut Joey some slack, but Ross says that Joey has been realizing enough and wants Chandler to help Joey as his friend. Joey writes a play and gets Ross and Chandler to rehearse the scene with him. The play is about about both Ross and Chandler over-reacted and only had Joey's best interests at heart. They both apologize to Joey about their behavior.
Phoebe becomes overly aggressive collecting money for the poor in the run-up to Christmas. She has a bell and a bucket and is given a great spot by Macy's to collect donations. On her first day, people use her bucket to make change for the bus, throw trash inside it, and throw lighted cigarette butts which set the charity on fire. she grabs the glass from a walker by and pours liquid on her bucket, lighting it on fire (indicating it was filled with alcohol). The next day, Phoebe returns to her spot and puts all kind of warnings around her bucket and checks everything before it is put into the bucket. eventually, Phoebe is asked to move to a less high profile spot and the Macy's spot is given to a young chippie..
Monica sets Rachel up on a date with Danny (Rachel was still doing the power play with him, but Monica cuts through the crap and asks Danny if he would like to go out with Rachel), but Rachel quickly loses interest after Danny and his sister act overly affectionate with one another. Rachel goes to Danny's apartment after the date and finds that his sister Krista (Julie Lauren) visits him from time to time. Rachel finds that Danny and Krista are overtly friendly and keep wrestling with each other while chasing each other around the apartment. She talks to Monica about it and realizes that even Monica and Ross share the same relationship and get in wrestling matches when provoked (Monica claims she was undefeated and Ross says she weighed 200 pounds. they challenge each other and start wrestling in front of Rachel and she gets the point). At the coffee house, Krista feeds Danny food with her fingers and when she drops some cream on his trousers, she cleans it up with a wet towel. Joey cant believe they are brother and sister and think this is inappropriate. Rachel talks to Danny, who convinces Rachel that there is nothing wrong if he is close to his sister.. But then Rachel creeps out when she finds that Krista is giving a bath to Danny. She bolts.
