---Synopsis:
Rachel moves into Ross’s apartment, but a phone call she takes for Ross throws a monkey wrench into their new living arrangement before it even starts. Ross begins his stint as a guest lecturer at NYU, but resorts to a bizarre method to cure his stage fright. Joey’s medical benefits lapse because he hasn’t done enough acting lately, and the sudden onset of a severe medical condition may prevent him from doing more.

(After Joey suggest that Ross make his presentation less boring by using naked chicks as a visual aide...)
Ross: “You know what? I'm just gonna do it on my own, with no naked chicks."
Chandler: “That's the way I did it until I was nineteen."
Is this the episode in which Chandler actually moves in with Monica? I ask, because I wanna know the first ep in which we saw the ceramic dog on their balcony. I was watching The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs(7.8), and noticed that it was on the balcony, and it occurred to me that that dog wasn't Chandler's, it was Joey's.

But in this episode, he mentions starting to work out "again," and complains about the 15 lb. dumbbells, even though for someone of his physique, 15-pounders shouldn't be a problem (I myself am currently using 20-pounders).
