The One With the Evil Orthodontist

Thursday, 6 April 1995

Rachel meets her jilted fiancé Barry again, sleeps with him in his office, and then joins his fiancée Mindy to dump him, while Chandler waits by the phone after a first date.

What happens

• After a first date he calls one of the greatest ever, Chandler refuses to phone Danielle, then gives in to Phoebe and hangs up on her answering machine.
• Rachel comes back from a warm lunch with Barry, admits she never told him to leave her alone, and promises to end things with him that afternoon.
• Rachel and Barry have sex in his dental chair instead.
• Barry offers to break off his engagement to Mindy and asks Rachel to go away with him to Aruba for the weekend.
• Monica notices dental floss in Rachel's hair, the affair comes out to the group, and Ross walks out when Rachel compares it to him and Carol.
• Mindy asks Rachel to be her maid of honour, then admits she slept with Barry while he was engaged to Rachel, and Rachel offers her arm so Mindy can smell the perfume Barry bought.
• Joey gets the peeping neighbour's name from a doorman and calls to complain, only to find that Sidney is a woman who has been admiring them.
• Rachel and Mindy confront Barry together, but Mindy tells Rachel afterwards that she still means to marry him.
• Rachel tells Monica that walking out on Barry at the wedding was the right choice and she no longer wonders about it.
• Danielle comes to the coffee house to check that Chandler is all right, and Chandler decides that the effort makes her too needy.
