Chandler's popular, best-selling author mom, Nora Tyler Bing, announces
on Jay Leno's show that her book tour's next stop is New York, and she
gets the chance to see her son. Turning up in the Big Apple, she takes
all the friends to a restaurant and encourages fan Rachel to try
writing similarly cheap-steamy 'romantic formula' novels. She observes
Ross' frustration about Rachel, assures him Paolo is not a hero that
stays in the story to the end, unlike him, and somehow they kiss. Joey
observes this who feels obliged to defend his mom Gloria's sex-appeal
as equal, if you imagine her before producing seven children. Joey
shames Ross into confessing the kiss to Chandler, who is irate and
reads the riot act. Meanwhile Phoebe encouraged Monica to whistle to a
hunk they saw walking on the street, which causes him to be hit by an
ambulance and fall into a coma. They fantasize about him being the
perfect boyfriend and compete to be the one to take care of him, hoping
he'll wake up like a fairy tale prince.
