The episode opens with Ross (David Schwimmer) inviting Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) over to his new apartment to check out his latest purchase - a race car bed that he bought for his son, Ben. Rachel is less than impressed with the childish purchase and pokes fun at Ross for getting it. Meanwhile, Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is struggling with the fact that his girlfriend wants him to participate in a fertility study, but he is too uncomfortable with the idea.

Chandler (Matthew Perry) finds himself in a similar predicament when he meets a beautiful woman named Aurora at the coffee shop and tries to get her phone number, only to discover that she is deaf. After clumsily attempting to communicate with her in sign language, Chandler panics and brings Joey along to help him out.

As the episode progresses, the gang's problems only seem to escalate. Rachel accidentally breaks Ross's race car bed while attempting to jump on it, leading to a hilarious chain of events as they try to come up with a plan to fix it before Ben comes over. Chandler and Joey's attempts at sign language land them in hot water when Aurora misunderstands their gestures and thinks they are making fun of her.
