Complete story — includes the ending

Joey proves to be a sore loser after being nominated for a "Soapie" award. When he accepts an award from a different category on behalf of a co-star, he is unwilling to hand it over. However, he later keeps the award anyway when the actress who has won it considers it insignificant. Meanwhile, a male student in Ross’s class angles for a higher test grade by claiming that he loves Ross. Another student reveals that the guy is actually straight, and has used the same ploy on other professors. Ross then gives the student a failing grade, but ends up giving him a "C" after some of Ross's colleagues overhear a conversation which sounds like Ross and the student dated. Upon seeing Phoebe develop a relationship quickly with Jake, Monica panics as she realizes that she will never be able to experience the excitement of new relationship moments again now that she is marrying Chandler. When she talks to Chandler about her fears, he reveals that he was extremely anxious when they first started dating, but is now more excited about spending the rest of their lives together, which calms Monica down.
