While Cecilia initially has no idea about her character being killed off, she eventually learns and accepts her fate. However, she begins to help Joey learn her character’s mannerisms and personality, as Joey’s character will get her brain and also her memories and persona.

Ashamed, Chandler says that he will do anything to get Joey’s forgiveness. Joey comes up with a hilarious and brilliant idea and suggests that Chandler be locked inside a box for six hours, as Joey was also locked in the entertainment center for the same amount of time when his and Chandler’s apartment got robbed. Chandler agrees, but his term inside the box is nothing short of hilarious. He makes a lot of jokes while inside the box. For example, he knocks on the box and makes the gang think that there is someone at the door.
