Not a very good season premier... although this show has a history of better season finales than season premiers anyway. But this one fell especially flat. The story lines are week, the jokes weren't up to par for this show, and there are a couple of things that were borderline ridiculous.
Monica's hair bit is one of the worst bits ever on this show. I mean, it's really bad, and not at all funny. It's almost embarrassing. Plus the wig they put on her is really bad.
I was on board with Joey and Rachel, but for some reason this episode prolongs the story too much and it turned me around on the subject. It's too bad, really. There was some really good material they could have worked with, but it just wasn't written well enough.moreless

Episode Summary
Monica, Chandler and Phoebe discover that they can eavesdrop on Ross & Charlie and Joey & Rachel through the walls of the hotel. Both new couples decide to wait before proceeding with their relationships, until the men can talk to each other. Ross tells Joey on the plane ride back to New York, but Joey can't quite yet. Later, Ross walks in on Joey and Rachel kissing. Meanwhile, Monica combats her poofy hair by getting corn rows put in, and Phoebe discovers that Mike has a girlfriend.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Phoebe: Suzy, I'm gonna be straight with you. Mike and I are back together, and that unfortunately ends your relationship with him. But he's very sorry and wishes you luck in all of your endeavors. Precious: I just can't believe this. Why? Why would he do this? What's wrong with me? Phoebe: Nothing, there's nothing wrong with you. Precious: I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do now? Phoebe: Damn it woman, pull yourself together! Have some pride, for the love of God! (Precious starts to cry) Okay, not a fan of the tough love. Edit
- Mike: (About his girlfriend) I'm think I'm just gonna take off and break up with her over the phone. Phoebe: You can't do that! Come on, Mike. Strap on a pair! Why don't you just tell her we got back together? You know, women appreciate honesty. We also appreciate gentle spanking once in a while. Just FYI. Edit
