S4E13 · The One With Rachel's Crush

Complete story — includes the ending

Monica is determined to continue being 'the hostess' and strives to succeed despite having switched apartments with Chandler and Joey. Chandler is worried when Kathy and a fellow actor, Nick, get steamy on stage in a play, which leads to him unfairly accusing Kathy of cheating on him. When he later goes to her apartment to apologize, he discovers that Kathy has started sleeping with Nick, even though the latter two did not when Chandler confronted Kathy about her possible infidelity. Rachel is disgruntled after Bloomingdale’s eliminates her department and “demotes” her to be a personal shopper in another department. However, her job attitude improves when she meets a handsome customer named Joshua. Having had no experience in asking a guy out, Rachel seeks advice from Joey and Phoebe, though her plan in asking Joshua out ultimately backfires on her when, according to her, she is not in the date that she has successfully asked for.
