Original:

Chandler felt that he couldn’t get along well with his new roommate, they didn’t have same hobbies and interests. So he missed Joey more. And he even knew from Eddie’s girlfriend that Eddie was a strange character and always doubted others.
What’s worse on one midnight, Chandler woke up and found that Eddie was watching him which made Chandler crazy. They had a strong argument. Chandler asked Eddie to move out immediately. Eddie agreed that night but the next day he forgot what happened before and came back again. He pretended nothing happened. At that time, Joey had a income problem because he finished his TV show’s acting and couldn’t get important part anymore but some small parts. So he couldn’t afford his new deluxe apartment. He was even in debt. He had to sell all the furnitures. He wanted to move back to Chandler’s apartment but he was shy to tell the truth to Chandler/open his mouth.

One morning Chandler came to see Joey and told Joey what happened between he and his new roommate, Eddie, so they found a method that threw away Eddie’s all things downstairs and changed his apartment keys. So when Eddie came back and he found he couldn’t open the door so he knocked at the door and found Chandler and Joey were in the apartment. Chandler told Eddie that he had found his new roommate, Joey, so Eddie had to leave.

At last, Chandler and Joey lived together again and played foosball.
