Rachel packs her things and moves to Ross's apartment. Once there, she intercepts a phone call from Ross's lawyer revealing they're still married. Phoebe's psychic tells her she's going to die this week. Ross becomes a guest lecturer at NYU. He's so worried his presentation won't go well that he panics and presents it with an phony English accent. Joey's medical benefits lapse because he hasn't done enough acting recently. He contacts his agent, Estelle (who mistakenly believes he'd gone to another agent), to arrange for some auditions. He gets a severe hernia before auditioning, but refuses to go to the hospital until he has insurance again.
