Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAnother idea for the name of the coffeehouse was "Java Joe's". This idea was later reused in this episode, when, on the picture of Nana and her own friends, Nana wrote, "Me and the gang at Java Joe's."
- GoofsWhen the gang is sitting around discussing if anyone thought that Chandler may have been gay, Rachel talks about meeting Chandler for the first time thinking he might be when she arrived and the series had started, but later on in the series on several occasions during flashbacks, Chandler and Ross both knew Rachel in high school and she and Chandler had actually kissed at a college party. Also, in this episode Joey claims that he didn't think Chandler was gay the first time they met, but in The One with the Flashback (1996), when Joey and Chandler meet, Joey says "Oh and I'm totally fine with it's the whole gay thing."
- Quotes
Rachel Green: [about Chandler being mistaken for being homosexual] When I first met you, I thought maybe, possibly, you might be.
Chandler Bing: You did?
Rachel Green: Yeah, but then you spent Phoebe's entire birthday party talking to my breasts, so then I figured mabye not.

Featured review
The queer reality of mortality
Extremely rare for a sitcom to deal with the dark subject of death, yet Friends takes the subject on head first in its eighth episode. The original creators and writers of the show and the first two episodes are at the helm again, pushing the envelope with the common issues of buying a casket, setting up a funeral and cleaning out their house/apartment and force a family to confront the emotional and physical loss of a loved one and their own mortality. Chandler story line makes up the other part, with Perry once again being given space outside his friend network to feature his stellar acting and witty, comedic charm. Second appearance of Ross and Monica's parents, driving home the emotional impact of a lost loved one with a rather touching moment in the closet. The writers are already taking rather remarkable risks for 1990s network television.
