Complete story — includes the ending

Joey learns that his Days of our Lives character, Dr. Drake Ramoray, will be coming out of a coma by having the brain of a killed-off female character, Jessica Lockhart, transplanted into his body. In hope of learning more about Jessica’s motivation on the show, Joey visits the actress playing Jessica, Cecilia Monroe ( Susan Sarandon ), and accidentally tells her that Jessica will be killed off in favour of Dr. Drake Ramoray’s reintegration into the show, which infuriates Cecilia. Joey then charms Cecilia into working together to maintain Jessica’s legacy on the show, and the two end up sleeping together. Ross cooks up a special surprise for his sister’s wedding: dreadful bagpipe playing. After a cute guy accidentally leaves his phone in the coffee house, Phoebe and Rachel compete over who gets to keep it in order to start 'a fairytale for the digital age'. Later, an elderly gentleman drops by Phoebe's apartment to claim the phone, and much to Rachel's bewilderment, Phoebe happily goes to dinner with him as she finds him more attractive than the cute guy from the coffee house.
