- Chandler's flamboyant romance-novelist mother comes to visit, and Joey catches her kissing Ross. Meanwhile, Monica and Phoebe fight over a guy in a coma.
- Chandler's popular, best-selling author mom, Nora Tyler Bing, announces on Jay Leno's show that her book tour's next stop is New York, and she gets the chance to see her son. Turning up in the Big Apple, she takes all the friends to a restaurant and encourages fan Rachel to try writing similarly cheap-steamy 'romantic formula' novels. She observes Ross' frustration about Rachel, assures him Paolo is not a hero that stays in the story to the end, unlike him, and somehow they kiss. Joey observes this and feels obliged to defend his mom Gloria's sex-appeal as equal, if you imagine her before producing seven children. Joey shames Ross into confessing the kiss to Chandler, who is irate and reads the riot act. Meanwhile Phoebe encouraged Monica to whistle to a hunk they saw walking on the street, which causes him to be hit by an ambulance and fall into a coma. They fantasize about him being the perfect boyfriend and compete to be the one to take care of him, hoping he'll wake up like a fairy tale prince.—KGF Vissers
- Chandler's mom, lusty romance novelist Nora Bing, visits New York and takes everyone out to dinner. Ross kisses her, after consuming too much wine. Monica and Phoebe witness a hot man getting hit by an ambulance and fight over which one gets to date him when he gets out of the coma.—Princess Angela
- Chandler's flamboyant romance-novelist mother Nora Bing (Morgan Fairchild) comes to New York for a visit. She is sexy and writes erotic novels. Chandler had a traumatic childhood because of this. She ignored Chandler while he was growing up, to pursue her publishing career. Paolo is back from Rome and hooks up with Rachel.
Joey catches Ross making the mistake of kissing her in a restaurant, after getting himself drunk (on tequila shots) when he sees Rachel bring Paolo (They were running late angry they lost track of time while having sex. At the dinner, Paolo continues to slobber all over Rachel in full view of everyone). Ross had gone to the restrooms and Nora was checking her messages on the phone. Nora realizes that Ross is depressed because he loves Rachel and is angry about Paolo (She tells Ross that Paolo is at best a secondary character in her books and will be eventually killed off).. they end up sharing an intimate moment. The next morning Joey is angry at Ross for "Breaking the code". Never kiss a friend's mom. Joey says Ross needs to tell Chandler as if he doesn't, his mother might. Chandler is angry at Ross when he finds out about this from Ross. At first, Ross says that Paolo kissed Nora, but later comes clean. Chandler is also angry at Joey for not telling him straight up. chandler is disappointed since Ross is his best friend and knows how much crap Chandler goes through with his mom..
Ross tells Chandler to talk to his mom, as she also kissed Ross. Chandler later confronts Nora and asks her to behave when she is around his friends. Nora agrees that she was out of line. Nora departs and Chandler decides to forgive Ross
Monica and Phoebe see a guy they like in the street; when Monica shouts after him, the guy turns and is hit by a car. They fight for him while he is in a coma (Phoebe tries to wake him up girl scout style) (They think he looks smart and must be lawyer. Dents in his knuckles suggest that he has an artistic side, maybe a sculptor. Respectful to women and not just trying to undress them mentally). They vie for his attention by giving him gifts (Flowers, read to him, Phoebe sings for him), shaves etc even though he is not conscious. They have a fight on what his name could be and guess that he would be sensitive and caring and a total chick's guy. They also argue if each of them is visiting the coma guy alone, without the knowledge of the other. But when the guy wakes up, he is a complete ass and just like any other regular guy (Monica says that women just give and give, and they get nothing back from men). They are both disgusted and leave.
Rachel loves Nora and decides to write erotica herself. She shares her first chapter with her friends, but she is not a great typist and her work has many spelling errors leading them to make fun of her..
