The One With Unagi
Ranked #175 out of 236 episodes in Friends
Joey tries to earn some extra money by entering a medical study, however, there's a slight problem: the study is for identical twins. Rachel and Phoebe take self-defense classes, but Ross attempts to give them a lesson in Unagi instead. Meanwhile, Chandler and Monica agree to give each other homemade presents for Valentine's Day.
Unagi episode underperforms at 69: character comedy can't sustain mid-tier density alone.
