Complete story — includes the ending

After Ross sees Monica's tan, he decides to get a spray-on tan. After hearing seemingly straightforward instructions, he gets confused and accidentally gets a double dose on the front of his body and nothing on his back. Through a series of mishaps he gets more spray tan on his front until he is incredibly dark. Rachel and Joey attempt to take their relationship to the next level but Rachel keeps accidentally slapping Joey when he tries to rub her thigh, while Joey cannot get Rachel out of her bra. When Rachel accidentally knees Joey's crotch while trying to have rough sex, the pair ultimately decide to stay friends. Monica and Phoebe try to "cut out" an obnoxious old friend from the building when she visits from England ( Jennifer Coolidge ). This brings up memories of the time when Phoebe tried to "cut out" Monica many years before.
