He tries to reschedule his reservation, but has the terrible surprise that the reservation is non refundable. Monica gives him the idea of bringing Ross. In the Inn, Ross is addicted to eat candies and also very excited. Chandler has other terrible surprise: there isn't any reservations in his name and he lost the money with the room he reserved. Ross gives Chandler an idea to have his money back: take a lot of stuff from the Hotel.
