Friends Season 5 Episodes

By Hank Evans | January 7, 2010

The One After Ross Says Rachel: Despite the fact that Ross said “Rachel” in his vows instead of “Emily,” they go through with the wedding; but then Emily sneaks out the window at the reception and apparently never wants to see Ross again. Rachel fixates on the fact that “he said my name!” Chandler and Monica agree that their new relationship can only continue while they are away from home… but then have a very difficult time arranging to be alone together. While waiting at the airport in hopes that Emily will still show up for the honeymoon to Athens, Ross bumps into Rachel. She encourages him to go to Athens anyway; he invites her to come along. While boarding, Ross goes back to get his jacket and discovers that Emily has arrived and has witnessed the two of them preparing to leave together. Ross misses the flight; Rachel doesn’t.

The One With The Kips: Chandler and Monica, tired of sneaking around, each make up an excuse to leave town and then go away for a weekend together. They end up fighting the whole time and Chandler’s afraid it may be over. Ross struggles to reveal his agreement with Emily not to see Rachel anymore. Rachel doesn’t take it very well; she doesn’t want to give up Ross, nor get left out of the group like Chandler’s old roommate, Kip. Joey finds some similarities in Chandler’s and Monica’s stories about the weekend, and figures out the truth; Monica and Chandler swear him to secrecy.

The One Where Ross Moves In: Emily’s cousin kicks Ross out of the apartment they were to live in, so he moves in with Chandler and Joey. Ross is more than a little obnoxious, so Chandler and Joey pressure him to move to a new place… even if it’s tiny. Their guilt gets the better of them, however, and they arrange for Ross’ application to be rejected. Phoebe dates a Larry, a health inspector she met at Monica’s restaurant. At first she is turned on by his power to close places down, but soon realizes that they’re running out of good places to eat. Rachel is convinced that Danny likes her and that his apparent apathy toward her is just a ploy to gain the upper hand in their relationship.

The One With Chandler’s Work Laugh: Rachel tries to learn more about Chandler and Monica’s relationship; when Rachel confronts her, Monica makes up some pretty lame lies to cover it up. Ross finds out Emily is engaged to be married again; he goes out on the town and somehow hooks up with Janice. Their relationship starts out great, but soon Janice can’t stand Ross’s constant whining and she breaks it off. Chandler takes Monica to a work party, as well as some outings with Chandler’s boss and his wife; Monica learns that ‘Work Chandler’ is a suck-up with an exaggerated laugh. Phoebe and Joey race birds.

The One With Joey’s Bag: Chandler finds out Monica gives terrible massages but doesn’t want to tell her. When the truth comes out, Monica has a hard time accepting it. Joey is auditioning for a sophisticated part in a play, so Rachel offers to help him look the part. She outfits him at Bloomingdales, and part of the ensemble is a “man’s bag,” which bears a striking resemblence to a purse. Unfortunately, Joey’s devotion to the bag ends up costing him the audition. Phoebe’s grandmother dies; Ursula, who thought grandma was already dead, skips the memorial. The memorial does have one unexpected guest, however–Phoebe’s father. Without revealing her true identify, she arranges to meet with him later, at which time she reveals the truth… but things are still a little awkward.

The One With The Cop: Joey has a dream that Monica is his girlfriend; Monica tells him it just means he wants a relationship with the closeness that he sees between herself and Chandler. She suggests he try being friends with a woman before being intimate. After hitting on Rachel (unsuccessfully), Joey tries to make friends with new women; but they find his “friends first” approach so enticing that they want the intimacy immediately. Phoebe finds a police badge under a cushion at the coffee house. She plans to return it but has too much fun pretending to be a cop… until she pulls it on the actual owner of the badge. She drops the badge and runs away; he tracks her down and asks her on a date. Ross buys a new sofa (couch), but can’t get it up the stairs to his apartment.

The One With The Ball: Gary decides to ask Phoebe to live with him. She doesn’t think it’s a good idea, which makes him sad, so she ends up agreeing. After some changes of heart (back and forth) they finally move in together… until one morning Gary shoots a bird that’s chirping outside the window. Phoebe breaks up with him. Ross and Joey throw a ball back and forth without dropping it for a couple hours; soon it becomes a contest, joined by Monica and Chandler. Around the tenth hour, they invite Phoebe to join; unfortunately, she doesn’t feel like playing. Rachel spends a thousand dollars on a pure-bred, hairless Sphinx cat, like the one her grandmother had when Rachel was a kid. Unfortunately, this cat is not very nice, and a scratched-up Rachel ends up selling the cat to Gunther.

The One In Vegas, Part 1: Monica runs into Richard but doesn’t want Chandler to know, because it might spoil their anniversary. As an gift for Chandler, she gets them tickets to Las Vegas. Phoebe invites herself, Ross, and Rachel along as well. Phoebe compares everything about the trip to the London trip she missed last year. Ross and Rachel have to work, so they plan to come a day later. On the plane, Phoebe lets slip about Richard; Chandler tells Monica he’s okay with it; later, in Vegas, they end up fighting over it. Meanwhile, Rachel (being alone in her apartment) decides to go around naked. Ross sees her from his apartment and thinks she’s coming on to him. He goes over and makes an embarrassing scene. Rachel teases him about it the next day on their flight, so they both start doing their best to embarrass each other… a contest which is topped off by Ross drawing a mustache on a sleeping Rachel. Joey admits to his friends that his film’s been shut down; he decides to play Black Jack to turn a $100 tip into enough money to finish the movie. He loses, but discovers something much more valuable (to him, at least): His identical hand twin. Monica, on her way to apologize to Chandler, finds a chip on the floor and places a bet at a craps table… and starts a winning streak. Chandler sees her celebrating and hugging the person next to her… and he walks out.
