Please be warned now, if you continue reading you might find this may contain spoilers! I am writing about Friends, Season 6, Episode 22.

So, in this episode of friends, Ross sneaks off to Elizabeth’s family cabin with her for the weekend. Little do they know, Elizabeth’s father Paul, and Rachel had the same idea. While Elizabeth goes to the shop, to purchase “protection” (and I don’t mean from bears), Ross strips down to his man panties and lays in waiting for her return. Unfortunately for Ross, he got caught with his pants down, literally. Luckily for him the person that caught him, was Rachel. Rachel then tried to get him out, before Paul noticed. Incase you need to hit refresh in your memory (I often do), Elizabeth was one of Ross’s students, and their relationship was extremely frowned upon by the university, and Elizabeth’s father, who forbade them from dating, and made threats to Ross, to ensure the couple stayed apart, but of course, that didn’t happen. So, for the most part of their relationship, they kept it a secret from nearly everyone, apart from the gang. So when they decided to take their secret love affair to the cabin, the last person either of them wanted to run into, was Paul.

When Rachel and Paul first entered the cabin, Ross chose to hide underneath the sofa. I mean, he had time to go anywhere in the cabin, and the stairs leading to Elizabeth’s bedroom, where right behind him, but no, he ran round like a headless chicken, and then thought under the sofa looks like a great place to hide *facepalm*. When Rachel drops something, she discovers Ross under the sofa, she then gets rid of Paul so Ross can find a better hiding spot, so he doesn’t get castrated. What does Ross do? run round like a moron again and ended up in Pauls bedroom *bigger facepalm*. Obviously this was written for the comedy flare, but it does make you wonder how Ross managed to get that PHD.

Another thing I noticed with this episode, is when Elizabeth returns, she walks in and says ‘here i am!’ obviously meant for Ross. But as her father is sat in Ross’s place, her and Rachel quickly make the excuse, that Elizabeth was in fact talking to them as she “saw the tire tracks leading to the closed garage”. Which led me to start thinking, about how Ross and Elizebeth got to the cabin in the first place. The most likely scenario is that Ross drove them down there, in which case, how did Paul and Rachel not notice a car? and even if they didn’t notice a car (which seems unlikely), how does Paul think Elizabeth got to the cabin? As the overprotective father he is portrayed to be, you would think he would have some questions, as to how she got there, and why she would be staying in a cabin on her own overnight. I mean it’s just a thought, but it did puzzle me. What do you think?
