synopsis
Joey (Matt LeBlanc) can't go to bed with his new girlfriend, but not for the reasons one might expect. In a potentially more positive story development, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) learns second-hand that Ross (David Schwimmer) is in love with her -- just as Ross is about to leave the country. Monica (Courteney Cox) is delighted that her brother and Rachel may become an item, but Rachel hasn't made up her mind about Ross yet. This final episode of Friends' first season ends with a cliffhanger involving a whole new character.
