This episode doesn't deal a lot with the Joey and Alex thing, but I like it anyway!

Joey really is more stupid in Joey than he was in Friends. He's the only person in the world who doesn't know that a famous actress is gay and is set up to go out with her. He does get it later, after various people tried to tell him. Gina thought it would be so much more fun if he didn't know, and so do I. Joey and the actress continues to go out together even after this revelation, and this developes Joey as a character. Alex seems to think so too, but unfortunately she's still with Dean in this episode. Really excited to see how this will continue.moreless

jimmy is gettin a bit annoyin with his yelling but you can forgive for it. you dont see much of micheal and alex in this episode. joey goes out with one of bobby\\\'s clients who is a lesbian. but needs to pose straight for the cameras and uses joey as a \\\"beard\\\", which joey is unaware of thanks to gina lol. he tries hard to attract the client but fails in vain but his attempts are funny. all in all another good episode proving it should have stayed on nbc.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Jimmy: So me and Gina are moving in together. Joey: I'm proud of you man, this is huge. Jimmy: It's the biggest thing we've ever done together. Michael: Hrm... Jimmy: Are you gonna make it about you again like the other night: "Make me dessert, sing me a song." Michael: It was my birthday. Edit
- Joey: This is odd for me. I'm out to dinner with a beautiful woman and there's only a small chance we're gonna end up in bed together. Edie: No chance. Joey: Really? You must be very gay. Edit
- Joey: Gina, look at that stupid shirt Jimmy's wearing. Gina: You look like a moron. Joey: Jimmy, are you gonna take that from her. Jimmy: (jaded) I'm gonna kill you, you bitch. Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Joey says he and Edie did some 'bearding' at the Dodger's game. The Dodgers are one of the oldest baseball teams in the league, having been around since 1890. They were orginally the Brooklyn Dodgers, but they became the L.A. Dodgers in 1958. Edit
- Michael asks Joey if he and Edie had a gay old time. This is a subtle reference to a line in the original Flintstone's theme song lyrics. When you're with the Flintstones, Have a yabba dabba doo time, A dabba doo time, We'll have a gay old time! Edit
- Joey points out that Edie is on the cover of People Magazine. People Magazine is owned by Time Inc. and focuses on human interest and celebrity stories. It has been in circulation since 1974 and has nearly 4 million subscribers. Edit
