Complete story — includes the ending
Chandler's flamboyant romance-novelist mother, Nora Bing ( Morgan Fairchild ), visits. At dinner, Ross becomes upset over Rachel and Paolo's public displays of affection and gets very drunk. He is comforted by Nora, who offers sage advice, which leads to them kissing. Joey witnesses the kiss and later says that Ross has to tell Chandler. Chandler is upset with Ross but soon forgives him, and he confronts his mother about her behavior and other issues. Monica and Phoebe see an attractive guy on the street; when Monica shouts after him, the guy is hit by a car. While he is hospitalized in a coma, the girls take turns caring for him, which turns into something of a competition. When the guy wakes up, he blows them both off. Rachel, inspired by Nora, tries writing her own romance novel, with mixed results due to her substandard typing skills.
