Rachel discovers the truth about the secret party and eventually, everybody knows with te exception of Chandler. Ross meets a fellow paeleontology professor and, attracted to her, he invites her to the party. Rachel and Monica go the party and act like crazy fans of D.O.O.L while Ross is intimidated by Charlie's list of former boyfriends. Meanwhile, Chandler is at the play the friends were given tickets to (Why Don't You Like Me?). At the end of the D.O.O.L party, Rachel looks for Joey and Ross looks for Charlie, and they find Joey and Charlie kissing. The next night, Chandler takes Pheobe and Rachel to the one woman play, pretending he liked it. When it starts, he says, "I can't believe you guys fell for it! Enjoy your slow death!" and runs away.
