The episode begins with Ross boasting about his martial arts training to Rachel and Phoebe, claiming that he has achieved a state of total awareness called "unagi." While Rachel and Phoebe are initially skeptical, they soon take up the challenge of Ross's Unagi and secretly plot to surprise him.
Meanwhile, Monica is feeling nostalgic and decides to make a mix tape for her boyfriend Chandler as a Valentine's Day gift. She enlists the help of Joey and Ross, who have their own unique ideas about what should be on the tape.
As the day progresses, Rachel and Phoebe sneak up on Ross to test his Unagi skills, but things quickly go awry when Ross realizes they've been planning something and flips out. The girls desperately try to appease Ross and make amends, leading to hilarious mishaps and misunderstandings.
