In Friends season 5 episode 13, titled "The One With Joey's Bag," the gang is preparing for a trip to Las Vegas. Joey brings a questionable duffel bag to Monica's apartment, which prompts everyone to make fun of him. Chandler accuses him of being a "man-purse" guy, which Joey vehemently denies.

Meanwhile, Rachel is dealing with some work drama as she faces an important decision about her career. She gets a promotion opportunity but it would require her to move to Paris for two years. She’s not sure if she wants to leave her friends, especially Ross, whom she still has feelings for. Ross, on the other hand, is still dealing with his divorce from Emily and has been dating various women to keep himself distracted.

As Chandler packs for the trip, he realizes that Joey's bag may actually be useful. He starts borrowing things from it, including a hair tie that he uses to put his hair up. He also discovers that Joey’s bag is a "man-bag" made by a designer named "Muriel." He realizes that it is not such a bad thing to have a nice-looking bag and eventually gets one for himself.

As the group sets off for Las Vegas, they see a bride running out from her wedding. Monica tries to cheer her up by taking her to one of the casinos and the bride ends up getting very drunk. Joey and Chandler wind up in a room that is basically Ross's worst nightmare, with a revolving bed and no privacy. They have to find a way out of the situation without making Ross mad.

Meanwhile, Rachel is still trying to make her decision about the job in Paris and talks to Phoebe about it. Phoebe encourages her to go and reminds Rachel that she should not let her feelings for Ross hold her back.

Back in Vegas, Chandler and Joey are having a great time, but Chandler accidentally loses all of their money. They run into a group of pretty women and Chandler tries to impress them by saying that Joey is a famous actor, which leads to some hilarious moments.

The gang eventually reunites and Ross tries to confront Chandler and Joey about the revolving bed situation. In the end, everything is cleared up and everyone has a good laugh. Rachel finally decides to take the job in Paris, which sends Ross into a bit of a tailspin since he still has feelings for her.

Overall, "The One With Joey's Bag" is a classic Friends episode that showcases the great chemistry between the characters. The episode deals with a variety of issues, including self-confidence, career decisions, and friendships. It is a great mix of humor and heart and definitely worth watching for any Friends fan.
