The One with Frank Jr.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Joey makes a new furniture for his house, but it is much bigger then expected,making difficult to enter in his and Chandler's room.

Phoebe and her half brother Frank, stay some days together to know each other a little better. Phoebe's original plan was to have some good time with Frank, but their meeting went to different ways, since Frank only knows to melt stuff. (The fact that he thought that Phoebe and the other masseurs were hookers, doesn't help very much either)

Ross and Chandler decide to do a list of the 5 celebrities they are allowed to sleep with. Ross even prints his list! When he tries to hit on Isabela Rosselini in the end of the episode, his printed list gives him trouble.
