Quotes:

[One of Ross's students wrote a flirtatious evaluation of his class]
Chandler: So, who is she?
Ross: I don't know. The evaluations were anonymous.
Joey: Well, do you still have their final exams?
Ross: Yeah.
Joey: Well, it's simple. You take the final exams and the evaluations, you see whose handwriting matches, and boom. You got your admirer.
Chandler: A hot chick is at stake and suddenly he's Rain Man.

Ross is going out with Elizabeth!

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Ross is very excited that one of his students wrote a good evaluation about him. Since the evaluations are anonymous, he doesn't have any way to know who wrote it, but eventually we are going to see that it was Ross' student, Elizabeth, who did it. She invites him to go out with her, and this makes Ross in doubt about going out with her or not.

Joey wants Chandler's help to get a role in a movie, since one of Chandler's University friends, Dana Keystone, became a movie director and is going to direct the new Al Pacino's movie. Chandler doesn't want to meet Dana because he doesn't see her for a long time and he doesn't have courage to ask her a role to Joey, but Joey insists to much that he calls her to dinner.

Rachel and Phoebe's apartment is on fire. Phoebe thinks that is her fault, since she is always lighting candles. They both need to stay in a different place while their apartment is out of order, so Phoebe goes to Joey's house and Rachel to Monica's. When they discover that the main cause was a hair straightener that was on, they change places. But Rachel has much more fun in Joey's house then Phoebe in Monica's.
