    No plot hole

    Great episode with perhaps the best guest star in one episode in the series.

    Chandler pulled his prank on Susie in the 4th grade. He later stated he went to an all boys high school. No plot hole.

    A Return To Form

    A return to form for "Friends" after a few so so episodes, helped in no small part by a couple of guest stars Plot In A Paragraph: Joey is initially delighted to get his very own stalker, especially when he sees how hot she is (Brooke Sheilds) and he goes on a date with her. Meanwhile Phoebe is asked to sing songs for some children at a local school by a teacher (Chris Isaac) however, whilst ppular with the kids, the parents are less than thrilled by her honest songs. Elsewhere Ross tries to track down Marcel his former pet monkey who used to live with him.

    I'm glad the show is back on track, and this has been one of the best episodes for a while
