1.24 The One Where Rachel Finds Out

Summary:

Ross announces that he's going on a paleontological dig in China for a week. Knowing he'll miss Rachel's birthday, he leaves his present with Joey and Chandler. When she opens it, it's a brooch just like her Grandmother's, that she mentioned to Ross she loved ages ago. Chandler lets it slip that Ross is in love with her, and Rachel discusses this with Monica and Phoebe. When all she can think about on her date is Ross, she decides to meet Ross at the airport and tell him she loves him too, but when he gets off the plane, he's with another woman.

Ross: Do you guys know who Carl is?
Chandler: Uh, let's see. Alvin, Simon, Theodore.... No.

The chipmunks?!

I never understood that joke either.

The scene when Chandler let the secret out is the highest part of the show in season 1, IMO. Many emotions in this one.
The end is heartbreaking...

Well, Ross asks if someone know Carl, Chandler checks if Carl is a name of one of the chipmunks, since its not, this mean he doesn't know Carl. That's the joke.

For those who don't know "The chipmunks" is an old cartoon. In Brazil the title was change to something like "Alvin and the Squirrels".

I like this episode a lot. Chandler is really, really funny here. Hahaha

It' such a kick in the balls that we spent the whole episode waiting and hoping that Rachel decides to go talk to Ross to be with him... And then in the end, he comes with Julie.
I adore Julie, she is a sweetheart, but seeing Rachel's face when she sees them is really sad. Julie couldn't appear in a worst moment. Hahaha
