The camera sweeps into a bedroom in disarray, where you stands frozen before an open closet, a sea of dark lace and velvet staring back. The mission is critical: a first meeting with Joey’s parents and his eight sisters. A velvet cape slumps to the floor as panic takes hold. A speed-dial call connects, and three familiar voices erupt from the speaker—Monica’s commanding instructions war with Phoebe’s pitch for a ‘tragically alluring’ vibe, while Rachel’s disbelief at the vampire-chic wardrobe is palpable. The scene closes on a frantic promise: a fashion intervention is on its way, or, failing that, a very fuzzy, feline alternative.
