Plot

Part I

Ross is selected to deliver a keynote speech at a paleontology convention in Barbados, and invites the gang to accompany him. Phoebe can't stop thinking about her ex Mike, while going out with David. Rachel has feelings for Joey but doesn't know how to tell him. Monica and Chandler try to prevent David from proposing marriage to Phoebe.

Part II

Joey and Charlie see they have nothing in common and decide to break up. Charlie tells Ross that she also broke up with Joey because she had feelings for "someone else" and then they kiss.
