Complete story — includes the ending

Chandler and Phoebe decide to break up with their respective partners, Janice ( Maggie Wheeler ) and Tony, at the same time. Phoebe's break-up goes smoothly, but Chandler has a harder time, requiring Phoebe's help. Ross and Rachel do laundry together, though Rachel has never done it before. While at the laundromat, Ross encourages Rachel to stand up to a pushy woman ( Camille Saviola ), earning him a platonic kiss from Rachel. Joey wants to get back together his ex-girlfriend Angela, who is now seeing a man named Bob; he arranges a double date with Angela, Bob, and Monica, pretending that Monica is his new girlfriend while telling her that Angela and Bob are siblings. On the date, the ruse unravels due to the "inappropriate" behavior of the "siblings," forcing Joey to admit the lie to Monica, who he successfully convinces to work with him to break the couple apart. Note: This is Maggie Wheeler's first appearance as Janice.
