This is one of the best performances Matthew Perry gave during the ten year run of 'Friends', and probably ranks as one of his best performances in general.
The death of Mr Heckles has a profound on him, and allows us to see that there's so much more to him than just the sarcastic joker of the 'Friends' pack.
He (Perry) pulls all of this off with skill and aplomb, with so much pathos in his performance.
It never becomes too sombre, or a 'very special episode', but full credit must be given to the writers for taking the opportunity to allow Matthew Perry a chance to play something a bit deeper.
A wonderful episode.
