Complete story — includes the ending

When Monica rushes Ross to the emergency room after he suffers an allergic reaction to kiwis, Chandler and Joey babysit Ross' baby son, Ben. They use him as bait to attract girls, but women think they are a gay couple. After accidentally leaving Ben on a bus, they are unable to identify which of two babies is Ben at the city's lost & found. Phoebe loses her Central Perk gig to a professional performer ( Chrissie Hynde ), so she defiantly sings outside the café. Also, a stranger ( Giovanni Ribisi ), who accidentally dropped a condom in Phoebe's guitar case, rushes back to reclaim it for an "emergency." Catherine Bell appears as Robin, one of the girls in the bus. ● Giovanni Ribisi ends up playing Phoebe's half-brother Frank Buffay Jr. later in the season. Chrissie Hynde co-wrote the song " Smelly Cat ".
