At the Central Perk coffee house, Monica Geller tells Phoebe, Joey Tribbiani, and Chandler Bing about her upcoming non-date with Paul. Chandler then tells them about his dream where he is naked, but instead of having a penis, his genitals are a phone. Ross Geller arrives and Monica tells the others that his wife Carol Willick moved out. Rachel Green walks into the coffee shop wearing a wedding dress. Monica walks up to her and Rachel starts to explain things to her and the others after The Waitress asks Rachel what she wants to drink. She tells them that thirty minutes before her wedding, she realized she was more attracted to the gravy boat wedding present than her fiance Barry and how much he looked like Mr. Potato Head. They all go back to Monica's apartment and Rachel argues with her dad over leaving the wedding and tells him she is going to stay with Monica, before even asking Monica. Paul goes to Monica's apartment and she introduces him to everyone.

The next day, Monica tells the others about Paul lying about not being able to perform sexually in order to get her in bed and the guys can't believe she fell for the line. Rachel shows up with new boots, but no job and the others force her to cut up her credit cards. The next day at the coffees shop, Rachel surprises the others by getting a job at the coffee house as a waitress.
