While drunk, she calls and leaves a message on his answering machine, declaring that she is over him. Ross is confused when he hears this message. He kisses Rachel, but is unable to choose between Rachel and Julie.
He makes a list of pros and cons of both women, and decides that he loves Rachel, and breaks up with Julie. Rachel fins the list, however and rejects Ross, but at the end of the season they start dating.
