Episode 504 - The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS
Monica tells Rachel she has a secret boyfriend, who's the best she's ever had. Chandler overhears this and can't stop asking questions about himself, taking advantage of their situation.
Meanwhile, Ross finally gets Emily on the phone and they begin planning to work things out. Emily agrees to come to New York but only if Ross doesn't see Rachel anymore. After much agonizing, Ross agrees.
Joey gets involved with a PBS pledge drive, believing he's the host. It turns out that he's only a phone jockey and not even on camera.
He and Phoebe argue about whether any truly selfless good deeds exist, so Phoebe tries repeatedly to find one. Eventually she donates money to the pledge drive.
