- Phoebe freaks out after learning Gary is planning to ask her to move in with him, which she is not ready for. Phoebe asks Chandler to talk Gary out of it as Chandler is so afraid of commitment. Chandler goes to the station to speak to Gary. He says that if he moves in with Phoebe, she is always going to be there, all the time. Gary convinces Chandler that he love Phoebe and cant wait to spend more time with her. Chandler is convinced and considers moving in with Monica, but Gary says its too soon for them. Gary calls Phoebe Babydoll, but Chandler cant do any nicknames with Monica. Chandler comes back and tells Phoebe that she should move in with Gary and she says being afraid of commitment is the one thing Chandler is good at, and he couldn't even do that right.
Phoebe reluctantly agrees to move in (At first she says no, but then Gary gets all depressed and sad, so she has to say yes to make him happy). Then Phoebe tries to stall Gary by saying that there are no suitable apartment listings for them to rent. But Gary being a cop, takes her to the interrogation room and shows her ads of all listing in their target neighborhoods. Gary tells Phoebe its OK if she doesn't want to move in just yet and that he wants her to be happy. Phoebe finds this sweet and agrees to move in with Gary. The relationship quickly ends when Gary shoots a bird tweeting outside the bedroom window.
Rachel buys a hairless Sphynx cat (she had wanted one ever since she was a little girl. Her grandmother had one, which was sweet and would sit in Rachel's lap and purr, chasing shoestrings) for $1,000 but quickly regrets her purchase when everyone mocks it (Ross says it is inside out. Rachel names is Mrs Whiskerson) and the cat continually hisses (Rachel thinks she is calling out her name) at and scratches her (when the cat flips out at the shoestring). Rachel tries returning it to the store, but they will only give her store credit. Rachel tries to sell the cat on the street, but her high asking price ($800) drives away anyone who is interested to adopt the cat (even as a charity project). She eventually unloads the creature on Gunther, making a profit (she sold it to him for $1500).
Ross and Joey pass time by tossing a ball back and forth, and subsequently try to see how long they can go without dropping the ball (Joey and Ross miss lunch and that's the first time Joey has ever missed a meal) (Joey even goes to the bathroom, while he and Ross are still throwing the ball back and forth). Monica joins in (she wanted the guys to help her find her watch, and interrupts the game by catching the ball. She later calls in sick to work and starts playing the game), then Chandler, who is called a 'Dropper', joins in. He quickly drops out when he slips and almost drops the ball. Soon, it has been 10 hrs throwing the ball. Monica is in charge of the game and that turns the guys off. The next morning Phoebe comes in all dejected after her breakup and Joey throws the ball to her, which she keeps on the table as she doesn't feel like playing. Just like that the game is over.
