The One with the Tea Leaves

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 3 September 2011]

Now this is a great episode. I really like Rachel and Joey story. It is really funny what kind of a problem she comes up with. And it is a great way to deal with their story instead of just pretending like it didn't happen. Her talk with Mr. Zelner was hilarious as well, really good lines

Ross's story isn't any less funny. Having him hiding behind the couch checking out a catalogue while Mona and her date were making out was hilarious. And it got even better when they saw him

And with Phoebe we get a great prediction for the next episode. She meets a character played by Alec Baldwin so we know that something good is coming

Joey and Rachel are not talking

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 17 April 2009]

Joey is hiding from Rachel, because he is feeling rejected, since she only sees him as a friend.

Since from when he told her about this feelings, the whole situation is weird. Rachel misses Joey, and asks Monica and Chandler to tell him that. (But Joey is hearing everything in another room)

Later, Rachel complains again about the fact that she and Joey don't have anything to talk, and Monica makes Rachel invent anything to have a subject to chat with Joey. Rachel ends up inventing that her boss wants to buy her baby, and this makes Joey go to Rachel's work to teach him a lesson.

Ross is upset that his favorite pink shirt (that he calls ''salmon'') is in Mona's house. They didn't end their relationship very well, so he doesn't feel comfortable to go to her house to take his things.

Phoebe talks to a guy that she sees everywhere she goes, and they set up a date. Unfortunately to Phoebe, the guy not only is weird, but also stays talking dirty to her all the time.

Ross goes to Mona's house (without her know) to take his shirt . But the situation gets pretty much uncomfortable when Mona enters in the house with another guy.

Awkwardness

[vivianla · 30 December 2020]

Rachel wants things to be normal again between Joey and her.

Phoebe goes out with a guy she thinks is fate told to her from her tea leaves. He comes off as too strong and tells Phoebe her breasts are good. Phoebe gets up and leaves.

Ross wants his pink shirt back but it is at Mona's. He finds her house key and goes inside but Mona comes in with her date so he has to hide. Mona makes out heavily with her date on the couch.

Lots going on

[studioAT · 5/10 · 31 July 2017]

Series 8 of 'Friends' has been full of good episodes, and this is no exception.

The Joey/Rachel story line involving her making up a fake work problem to try to make things less awkward between them after Joey's revelation in the last episode is a fun one, and Matt Le Blanc again shines.

The Ross and Mona story was also fun, with David Schwimmer clearly being in his element doing lots of physical comedy.

The Chandler/Monica story line worked less well for me, and this has been the case with a few of their stories this series in my opinion.

A good episode overall though.
