Seeing enough of the tape, Chandler turned off the camera and threw it on the bed, panicking. He looked at Joey again and understood now why he was sobbing.

"Oh God," he said in shock. "Oh God." Then he stood up and stumbled out of the bedroom, and out of the apartment.

Joey glanced up when Chandler left, then lay back down again. He clutched Hugsy hopelessly and remembered again what had happened after that first night in London. He had misunderstood it all the first time around.

In the morning, Joey woke up alone in bed and still wearing most of his clothes from the night before. He thought he must have collapsed before he could get undressed; Joey had no memory of what had happened after he and Chandler came back to their hotel room that night.

Rubbing his eyes, Joey rolled over and saw that the other bed was empty. He heard Chandler vomiting violently in the bathroom and assumed it was due to a hangover.

Joey sat up slowly and groaned, trying to recover from his own headache. After a while, he saw the video camera by the bed and reached for it. When he grabbed it, his fingers accidentally pushed the eject button, which popped out the current videotape. He noticed that the tape was wound all the way to the end, so he must have used it all up at the pub and the club.

Joey got up to put the tape away into his camera bag, then he put a new blank one in. He and Chandler planned to go sightseeing today, and he wanted to have enough tape.

"Chandler?" Joey called out. "Chandler, you okay?"

Chandler didn't answer, and the door was locked. Joey decided to get dressed and go borrow Ross or Monica's bathroom.

By the time that Joey came back, Chandler had exited the bathroom and cleaned himself up a little. Wearing rumpled clothes from last night too, he sat on the bed and looked rather pale.

Joey went to sit next to him with concern. "Hey, you just wanna stay here today?"

Chandler pulled away from him sharply. "No! No I don't!" Avoiding Joey's eyes, he got up and went to grab some fresh clothes, then returned to the bathroom to change.

Joey was surprised by Chandler's abrupt manner, but he shrugged and got ready to go sightseeing. When Chandler came out, Joey said, "Come on, I got the camera and the map. Let's go down to breakfast first, and then we'll go walking to all the places."

Chandler looked startled by the sight of the camera, and he grimaced. "D-d-don't you think you taped enough last night?" he asked almost accusingly.

"Huh?" Joey was confused. "That was just us drinking some Boddington's and you guys dancing bad in the club. We still got three whole days in London left to tape. Come on! You got the room key?"

He then headed downstairs to breakfast, while Chandler followed him anxiously; he seemed to be staring at Joey oddly. They met the others for breakfast and chatted about their plans for the day. Chandler still acted sullen and withdrawn, although Joey believed this was due to his hangover and to Mr. and Mrs. Geller seeming unfriendly to Chandler.

After breakfast, the group broke up and departed the hotel. Ross and Monica went to meet Emily and see the location for the wedding, while the Gellers went off to tour London.

Joey and Chandler went sightseeing together, but all that day, Chandler acted cold and distant to him, like he was uncomfortable being around him. Joey tried to enjoy the sights and ignore Chandler's irritability, but Chandler also kept trying to take the video camera away, and Joey had to fight him off a few times. They bickered for much of the day, then had a big fight over a silly hat, and Chandler finally stormed off back to the hotel.

When Joey came back to the hotel later and showed him his videotape of meeting Fergie, Chandler calmed down a little and tried to make up with him. Joey hugged him to show there were no hard feelings, but this made Chandler get jumpy all over again and he left without saying where he was going. Alone, Joey got homesick and sad; they didn't see each other again until the rehearsal dinner, where Chandler was still acting mean, so Joey spent the night with the bridesmaid Felicity to make himself feel better.

Joey didn't have much contact with Chandler for the rest of the trip, actually, because Chandler was still apparently avoiding him as much as he could.

It wasn't until they got home from London that Joey finally began to understand what had really happened between him and Chandler. As Joey unpacked his stuff in his bedroom, he pulled out all his used videotapes from the trip and viewed them one by one so that he could label the videos and show them to his friends and family later. Joey was deeply shocked to discover footage of them drunkenly kissing and touching in bed.

"What the--? Whoa!" With its images and sounds, the tape triggered vivid memories in him of that night, and he could almost taste and feel Chandler again. This terrified him.

Stopping the tape, Joey jumped up and paced around his room frenetically. Then his eyes widened and he gasped, realizing now why Chandler had acted so strange the next day in London. He must have remembered what they did, and was freaked out about waking up in the same bed. That must be why Chandler went and vomited in the bathroom, and why he didn't want to be near Joey. Maybe he even assumed that Joey remembered too and was coming onto him again. When Chandler eventually realized that Joey was oblivious, he must have decided not to tell him.

Joey groaned unhappily. Chandler probably wouldn't have gone sightseeing with him that day if it hadn't been for the video camera. Not realizing that Joey had changed tapes already, Chandler wanted to grab the incriminating tape and destroy it before Joey or anyone else could see it. But they kept fighting all day, until Chandler gave up and went back to the hotel room.

Later, Joey returned and showed him the sightseeing videotape. Chandler at last stopped trying to take the camera from him, so maybe thought that Joey had recorded over the tape of them in bed and all was safe.

Safe! Joey was completely freaked out and confused now. What should he do? Get rid of the tape? Should he ask Chandler about that night and try to apologize? But talking to him about it, bringing up this strange and delicate subject, made Joey gulp.

After much fear and indecision, Joey just threw the tape into the back of a drawer, so that he wouldn't have to look at it anymore and no one else could find it lying around. Maybe later, when he could think clearly, Joey would be able to figure out what to do with it.

In the weeks following Joey's disturbing discovery, Chandler kept acting guilty and mysterious, like he had a big secret since London. This made Joey wonder if Chandler had maybe turned gay after that night and was seeing someone that he didn't want the gang to know about. Then Chandler took a business trip to Atlantic City and apparently left behind an eyelash curler in his hotel room, which made Joey all the more suspicious, and he even asked Chandler if he had been on a gay cruise, but Chandler denied it angrily.

Of course it turned out that Chandler was really with Monica, which shocked Joey when he found out. But once he thought about it further, it was actually a great relief. Chandler must be straight then, and London was just a fluke. They were just drunk and the tape meant nothing.

Thus reassured, Joey calmed down and dated various women as usual. He kept Chandler and Monica's secret for them, even though the burden was frustrating and annoying sometimes. He only had Hugsy to confide in, until all the rest of the gang found out. Things started to feel normal again, and Joey moved on with his life.

He forgot about the videotape for a long time, but now he had found it again. Now it was real once more. It was like a message from some other world. Joey sobbed and didn't know how to handle the strange feelings that the memories stirred in him. He missed Chandler so much, and he ached for him in a way that he really, really shouldn't. Joey didn't know what to do. Maybe Chandler was still disgusted with him and that was why he ran away, again.
