Friends: "Die mit den zwei Dates"

Lingard

Joey accidentally sets up two dates at the same time and place. He tries to juggle both by switching tables frequently and using excuses like phone calls and work topics. But his plan fails when the women become suspicious. Eventually, Joey confesses everything, apologizes, and asks to try again with each woman separately. The women find the situation amusing and agree. Chandler watches the chaos and later advises Joey to make his dates simpler in the future.
