Complete story — includes the ending

Joey's health benefits lapse just as he develops a hernia. Unable to afford treatment and unwilling to borrow the money from Chandler, he takes on an acting role to renew his insurance, during which the hernia helps out with an uncooperative child star. Ross is given a guest professorship at New York University and, eager to impress his students, inexplicably lapses into a fake English accent. While he tries to tone down the accent and pleads with his students to help him get a permanent teaching job at the university, Rachel discovers she and Ross are still married, and charges into his class yelling at him.
