Joey then phones up the maintenance saying there is a gas leak from the apartment, in an attempt to gain access. Ross enters and Phoebe tells him Rachel wants to talk to him. Ross says he thinks he knows what it’s about telling them he slept with her a while ago and that she probably wants to get back together with him. Joey tries to persuade him it’s probably not that.
