415 The One With All The Rugby

While getting his nails done, Chandler runs into Janice who is newly divorced and not willing to let Chandler get away. Chandler invents a story about his company transferring him to Yemen. Although Janice believes him, he's not home free yet. Janice won't leave his side until he's on the plane and taking off. Monica obsesses about an electrical switch that apparently doesn't do anything. After tests, blueprints, and demolition work, she finally gives up. Ross meets some of Emily's friends and gets invited to play rugby. Not wanting to lose face, he insists on playing. When they play too rough despite Emily's secret request that they go easy on him, she helps Ross inflict some pain, too, by giving him pointers on their vulnerabilities. The switch turned out to control the TV set in Joey and Chandler's apartment.
