Monica and Chandler

While rewatching season 5, I wonder how nobody figure out sooner that those two were an item 😭😭 Their behavior towards each other was vastly different after coming back from London. They acted closer and were physically closer compared to other seasons. He even kissed her twice in front of the friends and was able to pass it off as an “European goodbye.” There’s no way they were that stupid and believed it. I feel like if two of my friends suddenly became more closer, I would definitely start asking some questions and be skeptical. Especially the whole “doing laundry together” thing…come on. We’ve never seen those two do any kind of basic daily activities until after they get together, and neither has any of the friends.

I do like, however, that it was Joey who figured it out first. The show writes him as the dumb comedic relief, and watching him piece two and two together immediately after hearing that Monica lost her eyelash curler (Chandler had it still). And especially the bit that Pheobe did where she pretended to be into Chandler just to mess with him and Monica.
