Friends: "El de Chandler en una Caja"

Lingard

In this hilarious episode of Friends, Chandler's apology takes an unexpected form: he locks himself in a box to make up for kissing Joey's girlfriend, Kathy. Joey, still furious, insists that Chandler must remain in the box for six hours as punishment. Monica and Rachel try to soften Joey's stance, but he is adamant about making Chandler pay for his betrayal. Phoebe enters with a cake, only to deny it to Chandler because "people in boxes don't get cake," adding more humor to the already ridiculous situation. After hours of awkwardness and pleading from Chandler, Joey reluctantly agrees to let him out, but only after Thanksgiving dinner, and without cake. This playful episode explores the limits of forgiveness in friendship, with plenty of laughs along the way.
