Aisha Tyler makes her first series appearance as Charlie, a sexy paleontologist to whom Ross (David Schwimmer) is attracted in a big way. Alas, when Ross invites Charlie to attend a wrap party for Days of Our Lives, she meets his actor pal, Joey (Matt LeBlanc), and it looks as though Ross is about to be shot down in the romance wars once more. Attending the same party is Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), whose efforts to overcome her feelings for Joey are aided and abetted by a brace of Joey's handsome co-stars, Kyle Lowder and Matthew Ashford (playing themselves). Meanwhile, Chandler (Matthew Perry) must endure the slings and arrows of an extremely vitriolic performance artist (played by Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois Griffin on the animated series Family Guy). ~ Rovi
