    The worst episode of the show

    Okay, I don't hate this episode. It's just boring. Very boring. Not much happens in it, and no moment is particularly hilarious. Along with The One with the Donor, this is the worst episode of the show.

    Another dr Jekyll mr hyde episode in my opinion

    Monica awful. I get the idea...and its sitcomy over the top guffaw laughs. I just don't care it or her.

    Everything else about this episode is fine. I'm not a fan of Rachel that much or Reese witherspoon... but they were both fine here.

    A 6 bc of Monica. I'd love to watch it without the bad Monica parts.

    And its funny....bc way back when, I said I'd love to watch the series sans phoebe...but she grew on me as she got less terrible.

    The One with Rachel's Sister

    The ever lovely Reese Witherspoon guests here in a fun episode where all the storylines work well.

    Nice stuff.

    • Trivia
      Rachel chastises her sister for going shopping instead of looking for a job to support herself, but Rachel did the exact same thing in the first episode. Both of them even named their purchases based on their situations ("Don't you want to rent me this apartment" pants).
    • Goofs
      When Chandler says "boy did we make friends with the wrong sister," a crew member is clearly visible on the left edge of the screen holding equipment with many yellow wires coming down behind Matthew Perry and the kitchen table.
