Quick question… I missed almost all of this season so far… How did things end with Joey and Rachel? I asked 3 people who always watch the show and they didn’t know… thanks ---

Friends don’t let friends watch _Friends_. ---

Regardless of whether it’s the “in” thing to do, I started watching _Friends_ from the beginning and I will finish the series as well. To answer your question: [spoiler]Rachel and Joey tried to make love, but whenever Joey would make a move Rachel slapped him. She couldn’t explain why, but they both accepted that they should just be friends- like before. Ross got dumped by Charlie last episode; her old boyfriend came back into the picture. Both moves seem to be pointing toward getting Rachel and Ross together, since they cannot find anyone else to their liking.[/spoiler] ---

^ That is stupid. The Friends episode last night is probably the worst one I’ve ever seen. Ugh. Too bad it’s still more entertaining than most of the other shows on tv. ---

I think **Indygrrl** was referring to the plot points, not you. ---
