At the hockey game, Ross continues to reminisce on Carol, which makes him depressed once again, and annoys Chandler and Joey.
He becomes happy again when the game starts but is soon hit in the face with the hockey puck and are forced to head to the hospital where they deal with a snippy receptionist, Nurse Sizemore (Mary Pat Gleason).
After a short brawl over the puck, it flies out of the boy's grasp and it hits the receptionist in the face, which Ross admits was fun.
She also gets reunited with her old friends, Leslie (Leesa Bryte), Kiki (Michele Maika), and Joanne (Marianne Hagan).
Back at the apartment, while the girls are getting ready for their slumber party, Rachel gets a call from her credit card company and complains about her low income.
This ends up in a brawl between Monica and Rachel, with Phoebe stopping them once she spots George, and the three women are amazed when they see him nude after he takes his towel off.
Club both commented on the episode, Saraiya said; ""The One With George Stephanopoulos" uses a tried-and-true sitcom convention—it splits the cast on gender lines and sends them off to different adventures, allowing them to "bro out" or have "girl talk" as need be.
Reid said; "In "The One With George Stephanopoulos," Rachel is very much questioning her decision, and after spending an afternoon with her squealing Fifth Avenue friends, she's really having second thoughts.
