Season 1 Episode 7: "The One with the Blackout"

This week, we’re diving into Friends Season 1, Episode 7, "The One with the Blackout." From Chandler getting trapped in an ATM vestibule with a supermodel (cue: “Gum would be perfection”) to Ross’s run-in with a very aggressive cat and the arrival of sexy Paolo, this one is packed with chaos—in the best way. We chat about our own accidental brushes with celebrity (Ciara literally met Beyoncé!), celebrate some truly elite face acting, and dig into why this episode is our favourite one yet.
