Monica's and Ross' aunt Sylvia, dies, and Monica inherits the doll house that she always wanted to play, and was never allowed. Phoebe competes with Monica,after Monica forbids her to play, of who has the cooler doll house. (And Phoebe's house is much cooler and creative then Monica's)

Joanna, Rachel's boss, is interested to go out with Chandler. They go out in a date, but while Joanna likes Chandler more then before, Chandler finds her very annoying.

Kate and Joey still discuss a lot with each other, until they sleep together. Joey stays very happy with that fact, since he discovered that he is in love with Kate, the first woman who doesn't like him back.

The best part that basically saves the whole episode is the story of Chandler dating Rachel's boss Joanna. It is a great idea and played very funny by every actor

The story of Joey and Kate was slightly dull in this episode although it was a fun idea to make Joey see what it is like on the other side. And it did bring a few great lines, like "Hey, it is not her sweater. It is whats under the sweater that counts!".

The story of the doll house was pretty bad imo. Not only was it stupid, it totally didn't fit the characters. The only one I could see being excited about playing with the doll house was Phoebe

Kate is the first woman Joey liked who doesn't like him back. Monica's and Ross' aunt Sylvia died and Monica inherits the dollhouse with which she was never allowed to play. Monica invites Phoebe to play with the dollhouse but doesn't let her play anymore when Phoebe brings out a dinosaur, a giant dog and a ghost. Phoebe makes her own dollhouse which is way cooler than Monica's. Chandler has a date with Rachel's boss Joanna and finds her really dull and boring. Joanna thinks they have chemistry and loves Rachel for introducing her to Chandler. Joey and Kate are together after rehearsing their scenes. Chandler doesn't want to call Joanna again but Rachel forces him because Joanna is driving her crazy asking about Chandler. Phoebe's dollhouse catches fire and is burned down. Kate doesn't want to be with Joey. Chandler doesn't have the courage to tell Joanna he doesn't want to see her again.

Rachel's office outfit and all her other outfits are perfect! I love her shoulder-length hair and makeup, particularly the lipstick.

The dollhouse scenes were funny - it reminded me of the jealousy and playtime between girls as children. Phoebe brings out a giant dinosaur. Phoebe's dollhouse is super unique and cool. Monica's is Victorian and pretty.

Ross sees his sister in the shower to put out the fire in the dollhouse. Monica tries to explain the shower head 🚿 she was using.

The lead actress in Joey's play has really cute outfits - the white camisole with the dark, unbuttoned top with the polo collar and the pockets on both sides of the chest; the sailor looking outfit with navy and white horizontal top and blazer over it.

This is one of those 'Friends' episode where actually the story line that makes up the title is actually the least interesting. Yes, Kudrow and Cox play out the dolls house stuff well, but apart from some nice visual gags, there's not much there.

Much more interesting was the Joey story line, and Matt Le Blanc proves that the character can be so much more than just a dim actor.

Matthew Perry not only looks healthier here, but is great in his story line involving Rachel's boss. This is the story with the most laughs in the episode.

Now the focus is less on Ross and Rachel 'Friends' has returned to being fun and less emotionally heavy, and is sometimes all the better for it.
