The Ratings
Creativity- 8.8
Humor- 8.8
Emotion- 8.2
Fun- 9.0
Overall- 8.8
Chandler- 8.3 (Didn't have much to do at all this week, but he was funny in what he did)
Joey- 8.9 (Joey stepped up into a more emotional role, and balanced the funny and the serious very well - good to know LeBlanc is capable of that)
Monica- 8.7 (Had a few funny lines, but wasn't doing much this time around)
Phoebe- 8.8 (Quite funny but her storyline wasn't too original and didn't thrill me)
Rachel- 8.9 (Hilarious! This week she was filled with great remarks!)
Ross- 8.0 (What did Ross even do this episode?)
The Best Lines
Chandler: May I just say one thing?
Rachel: What?!
Chandler: That's a relatively open weave and I can still see... your nipular ares.
Phoebe: Honey, tell them the story about your patient who thinks things are other things... you know, like when the phone rings and she takes a shower...
Roger: That's pretty much it.
Rachel (waitressing): You guys want anything else?
Chandler: Oh sure, could I have one of those--
Rachel: No, I'm sorry, we're all out of those.
Ross: What? What were you doing seeing her boobies?
Chandler: It was an accident! It's not like I was across the street with a telescope and a box of donuts.
Rachel: Okay, can we change the subject please?
Phoebe: Yeah. These are not her boobies, they are her breasts.
Rachel: Okay, Pheebs, I was hoping for more of a change...
Monica: You know, I always liked "bazoombas". It gives them a Latin spin.
Roger (to Chandler, while laughing): You're... funny... (laughter). He's so funny. Of course, I wouldn't want to be there when the laughter stops.
Joey's dad: What are you doing?
Joey: Chopping garlic.
Joey's dad: You're not gonna crush it?
Joey: Hey... you're having an affair, I'm chopping the garlic, it's a wacky world.
Roger (to Monica): Mon... easy on those cookies. They're just food, they're not love.
Chandler (to Joey): And I believe that when the right woman comes along you will have the courage and the guts to say, "No thanks. I'm married."
Joey's mom: Look honey, in an ideal world there'd be no her and your father would look like Sting.
The Moments

Joey takes the phone from his father to discover his father is having an affair.
We meet Joey's father's mistress... later she needs to take a shower in Monica's apartment.
Rachel tries to sneak in on Chandler in the shower, but it's Joey.

Joey's dad is having an affair.
The Verdict
Good, solid episode! Lots of funny comments, pretty creative storyline (something that can now be counted on from Friends writers). I really did like this episode, and I loved, loved, loved the chain reaction of nudity sightings that occurred in this episode culminating in Monica's unfortunate one. They kind of pulled a Seinfeld by tying together two of the main plotlines at the end. I'm really starting to love how Friends can weave together 3 main storylines and still have room for a couple smaller ones!
