Friends, Season 5

1. The One After Ross Says Rachel

Picking up at the altar where we left them, Ross stumbles through the rest of the vows after mistakenly saying Rachel's name rather than Emily's. At the reception Emily locks herself in the bathroom. Rachel comments that when she locked herself in the bathroom at her wedding, she was trying to break open the window and get the hell out of there. Ross bursts into the bathroom to find the window open and Emily gone. Ross sets off to find Emily, while Rachel ponders the meaning of Ross having said her name at such a crucial moment. Meanwhile, Monica and Chandler agree to continue their affair only while in London -- once they return to New York, they return to just being friends. They attempt to find solitude with one another, but are thwarted at each turn, finally ending up in the honeymoon suite, the one place they're certain will be empty. Ross shows up, though, still searching for Emily. So instead of sharing one last night of passion, they end up comforting Ross when Emily fails to return. As Ross sits at the airport listening to the final boarding call for his honeymoon flight to Athens, Rachel shows up, still trying to catch a flight home. She convinces Ross to go on his honeymoon alone, to take some time for himself. He then invites her to come along -- he could use a friend. As they are about to board the plane, Ross spots Emily watching him take Rachel on their honeymoon. As she runs off, Ross heads after her, leaving Rachel alone on the plane. Back in New York, the rest of the gang has returned home to a very pregnant Phoebe, and Monica and Chandler agree that they must end their affair. But the passion soon overpowers their rationale and they can't resist one more time...

2. The One With All The Kissing

Rachel returns from Ross's honeymoon in Athens proclaiming to him what a wonderful time she had. Once he's out of the room, however, she confesses that it was horrendous. Ross still has not found Emily, and Phoebe is feeling left out as everyone else reminisces about London. Chandler accidentally kisses Monica goodbye in front of Rachel and Phoebe, then kisses both of them on the lips as he tries to cover. Monica surmises to the other girls that it must be some European thing he picked up in London. Ross is miserable since he still hasn't heard from Emily, and the two dozen roses he sent to her parent's house come back as mulch. Rachel decides she must tell Ross that she still loves him much to the chagrin of Monica and everyone else. Chandler continues to kiss all the girls goodbye, until Rachel confronts him about it at the coffee shop and insists that he stop. Rachel asks Phoebe to take over her dating decisions, but she refuses and the duty falls to Monica. Monica insists that Rachel go talk to Dave, a handsome man at the coffee shop. Rachel goes out on a date with Dave, but ditches him when she returns to the apartment to find Ross there, crying over his mulched-roses. Monica returns home to find Rachel comforting Ross, and quickly convinces Ross to go out and continue his search for Emily. But Rachel tracks Ross down at the coffee shop, and finally tells him that she still loves him. As he sits stunned, she bursts out laughing, finally realizing how ridiculous she sounds now that Ross is married to Emily. In an attempt to make up for excluding her with all their stories about London, the gang decides to take Phoebe to Atlantic City, but just as they're leaving, Phoebe's water breaks and they have to rush to the hospital.

3. The One Hundredth

The gang arrives at the hospital, where Phoebe is ushered into a delivery room. Joey mans the video camera and narrates the birth, until he begins having abdominal pains. Frank Jr. arrives but Alice is still on her way from Delaware and Phoebe's regular doctor can't come, so instead Dr. Harad steps in, who randomly turns out to be a huge Fonzie fan. Phoebe asks Rachel to feel out Frank Jr. about letting her keep one of the babies. Rachel makes a date with a couple of cute male nurses for she and Monica. As Monica squirms trying to get out of it without revealing her relationship with Chandler, he tries to buffer his ego by saying that she can go out with whoever she wants, since they're just "goofing around". Stung by his remark, Monica agrees to go out with nurse Dan. Chandler becomes jealous, but is unable to tell Monica. Phoebe and Joey both experience "contractions" and Joey is diagnosed with kidney stones. Phoebe delivers the babies, first a boy, Frank Jr. Jr., then a girl, Leslie, and then ... another girl, Chandler. The ultra-sound was obviously wrong, and baby Chandler is not a boy as expected, yet Frank and Alice decide to let the name stand. Meanwhile, Ross comforts Joey as he prepares to pass his kidney stones. Chandler finally comes clean with Monica, revealing that when he said "goofing around" he really meant something much more significant. We see that the two really care about each other, even though the relationship is seemingly only about sex. Phoebe has a moment alone with the babies, and we see how difficult it is for her to give them up.

4. The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS

Phoebe gets upset when Joey lands a job co-hosting a PBS telethon. Just after her mom died, Phoebe had written to "Sesame Street" for help, but all she got was a keychain. Ross uses the wedding guest list to call all of Emily's relatives in the hope that one of them will help him find her. Rachel walks in on Monica awaiting Chandler, so Monica makes up a story that she's been secretly seeing a waiter from work. Later, Rachel lets it slip that Monica told her that her new boyfriend is the "best sex she's ever had." Upon hearing this, Chandler goats Monica to elaborate. Joey shows up at PBS to find that he's not the co-host, but instead is one of the volunteers answering phones. Emily finally calls Ross to tell him to stop bothering her relatives and the two discuss what happened at the wedding and the airport. Ross apologizes and promises to do whatever she asks so that they can just be together. Emily agrees to give him another chance, as long as he moves to London. Ross tries to convince Carol and Susan to move with little Ben to London so that he can be near his son and work on his marriage. They have no interest in moving. He goes back to Emily and tells her he can't move away from his son, then asks if she would consider moving to New York, as they had planned before the wedding. She reluctantly agrees, on one condition ... that he never see Rachel again. Meanwhile, Monica and Chandler blow up at each other in front of Rachel, each criticizing their "secret" boyfriend and girlfriend. Rachel tells them they should both dump the losers they're dating. Ross contemplates his future - either he keeps his wife and loses one of his best friends, or he keeps his friend and gets divorced for the second time before he's thirty. Monica and Chandler make up at the coffee shop, and we ultimately see them sneaking out of a closet, disheveled but happy again.

5. The One With All The Kips

Ross makes several attempts to tell Rachel the deal he struck with Emily - she'll move to New York so long as he never sees Rachel again. The gang is all at Monica and Rachel's apartment when Ross decides to tell Rachel, so the rest of the group scurries into Monica's room. Joey reveals that he stowed a box full of supplies under Monica's bed, filled with candy bars, word puzzles, magazines, and condoms because of the time when Ross and Rachel broke up and they were all stuck in Monica's bedroom all night with no food. Joey says, "When Ross said 'Rachel' at the wedding, I figured it was going to happen again." In the living room Ross tries to deliver the news to Rachel but in a letter from her parents she discovers that her childhood dog, LaPooh, has died. Later, at the coffee shop, Ross again tries to tell Rachel about his agreement with Emily, but is cut short when she gets a nose bleed. Rachel tells him, "Don't worry, this happened when my Grampa died too." Back at the apartment, Rachel has kleenex stuffed up her nose when Ross bursts in and finally tells her. Rachel storms out of the apartment. Later, Rachel reveals to the group, sans Ross, that she thinks she's gonna be Kip, Chandler's old roommate who used to date Monica. After they broke up, they couldn't even be in the same room together, and eventually Kip got phased out. Rachel is convinced that now she'll be the one to go, even though she always thought it would be Phoebe. Rachel to Phoebe, "You're not related, you live far away. You lift right out." Later, at the girls' apartment, Rachel pleads with Phoebe to forgive her "lifting out remark" and Ross comes over to talk to Rachel about being Kip. He tells her that he's the one who made this decision, so if anyone's going to be Kip, it's going to be him. B-Story: Monica and Chandler conspire to spend a weekend away together, each making up a story that they have to go to a conference in New Jersey. They arrive at the hotel for their weekend getaway, but Monica insists on switching rooms when she discovers lipstick on one of the glasses. Chandler is engrossed in a high speed chase being broadcast on TV, and grows more irritated with each room Monica turns down. He and the bell hop bond over the chase while Monica scours each room for faults. When she finally settles on one, Chandler discovers that the chase has ended and he missed the explosive ending. The two are at odds with one another, and the weekend is cut short as Monica storms out. Returning home, Chandler tells Joey his conference was terrible, although he did see Donald Trump waiting for an elevator. Joey later confronts Chandler when the hotel calls and says an eyelash curler was left in his room. After their lousy weekend, Chandler figures their romance is over, but Monica tells him it was only a fight, not the end of their relationship. Everyone is gathered at the girls' apartment when Phoebe asks Monica about seeing Donald Trump waiting for an elevator at her convention. Joey gets a quizzical look on his face as he has a deja vu moment, feeling like he heard that same thing somewhere before. Then Monica asks to borrow Rachel's eyelash curler since she lost hers. Joey finally puts it all together and his eyes go wide as the realization hits him. Chandler instantly pounces on him and drags him into Monica's bedroom before he can utter a word. Monica follows close behind, and she and Chandler struggle to convince Joey that he can't tell anyone. He reluctantly agrees and the secret remains safe.

6. The One With The Yeti

While Monica and Rachel are searching for the mini-waffle iron in their storage room, they are startled by a strange-looking wilderness man with a long beard and shaggy hair. Believing him to be bigfoot or a yeti, they unleash the bug fogger on him and flea the scene. Telling their tale of danger to the gang at the coffee shop, Joey tells them they just fogged Danny, a new tenant in their building who just returned from spending two months trekking around the Andes. The girls shamefully return to the apartment and go to apologize to Danny. He seems reluctant to accept their apologies which eggs them on further until they finally give up, chalking him up to unfriendly. A few days later, Rachel comes home to find a handsome man in the mail room of the apartment building, who is a shaven and shorn Danny. Seeing her shopping bags and Saks catalog, he assumes she's all about surface appearances. Enraged by his snap judgement, she angrily confronts him at his apartment and the two end up going out for pizza. Meanwhile, Ross agrees to more of Emily's demands, selling all his furniture since it's been "Rachel-ized". But that's not enough for Emily to feel secure, so he agrees to move to a new apartment, all the way uptown. Joey has trouble concealing his feelings, and eventually tells Ross that Emily is asking way too much and that they all hate her. Ross, stunned by his friends betrayal, leaves. The gang returns later in an attempt to reconcile, and Ross says how much he needed his friends to be there for him right now. Feeling terrible, Monica insists they all come over to her apartment and have dinner together. Rachel comes in later from her dinner with Danny, and proceeds to her bedroom, not wanting to infringe on the gathering while Ross is there. Ross insists that she stay, however, and then Emily calls and discovers that Rachel is there. Ross pleads with her to come to New York anyway, that Rachel is only a friend and there is nothing going on. Emily agrees, saying she'll feel better once she can know where he is every minute. Ross asks her if she'll ever be able to trust him, because that's essential if their marriage is going to work, and Emily admits that she doesn't think she will, thus ending their marriage.

7. The One Where Ross Moves In

Ross gets evicted by Emily's cousin once their marriage is officially over, and moves in with Chandler and Joey. Their patience is tried early on by the massive amounts of boxes filling their apartment and Ross's insistence on "keeping it down," not to mention the air purifier. Rachel and Danny engage in head games, a struggle for power within their non-relationship. He throws a house warming party and invites Monica and Rachel at the last minute. Rachel says she can't go because she has a regatta gala to go to. She confesses to Monica that there is no gala, but she couldn't let Danny think she had nothing better to do than wait around for an invitation to his party. When Ross tapes over an SHOW of Baywatch with a bug special, Chandler and Joey decide he must go, and start not-so subtly hinting that he should look at apartments. They direct him toward a tiny, dingy apartment that is available immediately and has a bathtub in the kitchen. Realizing their real motivation, Ross agrees to apply for the apartment. Later, back at their apartment, Chandler and Joey feel terrible about how they pushed Ross, and decide to vindicate their actions when the apartment people call for references. Chandler tells them that Ross tap dances a lot and is actually a pimp called "pimpy." Ross gets turned down for the apartment and the guys beg him to stay with them when he says he's going to Phoebe's. Ross agrees, and promises to "keep down" his annoying habits. Rachel finagles her way through the crowd so that she can appear to be coming up the stairs, "on her way back from the regatta gala," when she runs into Danny and his party. Danny then introduces her to his friend Tom, who Rachel believes is another ploy of Danny's to throw her off. Monica shakes her head in disbelief at Rachel, believing she has created the entire situation in her head. Meanwhile, Phoebe dates a health inspector, Larry, who she met at Monica's restaurant . At first impressed by his power to close down restaurants that are violated, Phoebe soon finds that Larry has closed down nearly all of the gang's favorite restaurants and must make a choice when she brings him to Central Perk and the inevitable happens.

8. The One With All The Thanksgivings

The gang is spread out in the living room, stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner. The conversation drifts back to the worst Thanksgivings they've had, from Chandler's dad divorcing his mom for the houseboy, to Phoebe's arm being blown off in a past life, to the time Joey got his head stuck in a raw turkey trying to scare Chandler. Rachel claims to know of Monica's worst Thanksgiving, in 1987, when Ross came home from college with Chandler. Monica, still in her fat phase, is immediately smitten with Chandler, who sports a "flock of seagulls" type hairdo. Ross tries to play it cool with Rachel, but his feelings are obvious. Monica overhears Chandler calling her fat, and is crushed. Back in the present, Chandler apologizes profusely to Monica, even though he doesn't remember saying that. Then Rachel admits that she was actually thinking of the next year's Thanksgiving in 1988, when Ross and Chandler again came home from college, this time sporting the Miami Vice look, and Monica had lost all the weight. Slinking her way across the living room, Monica shows off her new body to Chandler, trying to get him back for calling her fat. But it doesn't satisfy her need for revenge, so she plots with Rachel to pretend to seduce Chandler so that she can get him naked and throw him outside to be humiliated. The plan goes somewhat awry, and while she tries to be seductive in the kitchen, she inadvertently drops a cutting knife and chops off Chandler's little toe. At the hospital, the doctor discovers that Monica accidentally packed a piece of carrot in ice rather than Chandler's toe, so they are unable to reattach it. Back in the present, Chandler is outraged that he no longer has a little toe because he called Monica fat, and storms out. Monica, desperate to make amends, goes over to his apartment later, with a turkey stuck on her head. Chandler won't give, however, so Monica puts a hat on the turkey, then a pair of sunglasses, and finally starts doing a little dance for him. Chandler finally relents and laughs, admitting how great Monica is and that he loves her. Monica, her head still in the turkey, is stunned. Chandler immediately tries to cover up, but Monica knows what she heard. As Chandler denies it and Monica rubs it in, Joey comes walking up and is scared silly by the sight of Monica with her head in the turkey.

9. The One With Ross' Sandwich

At the museum, someone eats Ross's leftover turkey sandwich, compounding his depression over the state of his life. Phoebe convinces Ross to leave a threatening note with another turkey sandwich, and Ross's coworkers react by insisting he attend therapy. The therapist puts Ross on tranquilizers and places him on sabbatical from work. Meanwhile, Phoebe volunteers to collect change for the poor and gets stationed in front of Macy's. Her enthusiasm is soon squashed, however, when people try to take the money from her bucket, or spill their drinks on it, and even urinate on it. She plasters signs all over the area, and enforces strict rules about what can and cannot be placed in the bucket. Eventually she is pulled from her post, and relegated to a less high profile location.

10. The One With The Inappropriate Sister

Fed up with Rachel's ridiculous mind games, Monica finally asks Danny to go out with Rachel. He agrees, but Rachel soon afterward sees him with another girl. She goes on the date anyway, and Danny says he'd invite her in, but his sister is visiting and she's asleep on the couch. Rachel is relieved, realizing he isn't seeing someone else. Then his sister opens the door and Danny introduces she and Rachel. She is dressed only in a shirt, and she and Danny playfully wrestle while Rachel looks on. Rachel asks Monica and Ross if they ever wrestled, and they say sure, when they were kids. Monica reveals that she was undefeated, to which Ross replies that she weighed 300 pounds. She says yeah, but she was quick as a cat. Monica adds that they don't wrestle anymore, and Ross says that's because she couldn't beat him. Monica challenges him, and the two grapple. Later at the coffee shop, the gang is there along with Danny and his sister. She is eating an eclair and offers a fingerful of the cream to Danny, who sucks it off her finger. Then she drops some of the creme onto the front of his pants, and wipes it off for him. After they leave, the gang is appalled by their questionable behavior, and Rachel decides to end it with Danny. But when she goes to his apartment, he defends his close relationship with his sister, and asks why Rachel is so threatened by it. Just as Rachel begins to soften, his sister calls from the bathroom for Danny to hurry up, the bath is getting cold, and Rachel makes a beeline for the door.

As part of his resolution, Ross asks a woman out at Central Perk. The next day, he buys a pair of leather pants, and decides to wear them for his date. The two watch a movie at her apartment, where Ross is burning up because the leather pants are so hot. He excuses himself to the bathroom where he takes the pants off, trying to cool himself down. But when he tries to put the pants back on, he finds they won't fit. Either they shrunk from the sweat, or his legs expanded from the cool air. He calls Chandler for help, but Joey is the only one around. Joey tells Ross to try baby powder to soak up the sweat, then lotion to slick himself down, but neither works. Ross finally has to come out of the bathroom, holding his pants. His date throws him out and he turns up at Monica and Rachel's apartment, sans pants. Meanwhile, Rachel overhears Chandler and Monica on the phone, and discovers their secret. She tries to tell Joey, but he doesn't want to hear it, claiming he already has enough stuff that he knows but he can't talk about.

Finally the two realize that they know the same secret.

After pummeling their opponents in the first games, Chandler asks Monica to let his boss win a game. Monica refuses, so Chandler must make an effort to lose the game. When he succeeds, his boss invites he and Monica over for dinner. Once again Chandler fake laughs at all his bosses jokes, until Monica tells him that she can't stand seeing him this way. Chandler finally stands up to his boss and doesn't laugh at his joke, which greatly upsets his boss. Realizing he's in trouble, Monica jumps in and "explains" the joke to Chandler, then they both fake laugh for his bosses benefit. Meanwhile, Rachel tries to get Monica to admit her romance with Chandler. But Monica continues to lie to her in an effort to keep the relationship a secret. Frustrated, Rachel finally goes over to Chandler's apartment to confront them, and overhears Monica telling Chandler how difficult it is to keep lying to Rachel, since she's her best friend. Touched by what she's overheard, Rachel decides to leave quietly, but accidentally trips over a cord and knocks a lamp over on her way out. Monica comes out of Chandler's room and sees Rachel, then both women make up lies to conceal what they're really doing there.

She coerces him into meeting her, and tells him that she's his daughter, and asks him why he left her. He says he was a terrible father, and that even the songs he made up to try and get her to sleep only made her cry. She asks him to sing one for her, and realizes that it's set to the same melody as "Smelly Cat." Meanwhile, Joey has a big audition and goes to Rachel to help him dress for success.

Rachel breaks open the mini-bar, putting it on Ross's tab, and the two proceed to make their way through all the alcohol they can find. Soon they're pretty tipsy, and Rachel finally agrees to leave the hotel room - on one condition. She draws all over Ross's face so they both look like freaks and they head out to find more drinks. By the end of the night they are both blind drunk.
