Best Of Friends Season 5
The One With All The Kissing: Monica and Chandler try to keep their relationship hidden: When Joey comes into the bathroom, Monica has to duck under the bubbles in the tub; Chandler accidentally kisses Monica good-bye in from of the others, so then has to kiss all the girls. Phoebe is irked by all the fun she missed in London; the others decide to take her on a picnic to Central Park, but since that idea sucks they plan a weekend in Atlantic City; just as they’re leaving, her water breaks. Rachel, back from Greece and angry about the bad choices she’s made recently, gives decision making control of her love-life to Monica. This arrangement is strained to the breaking point when Rachel wants to tell Ross she still loves him, but Monica won’t let her. Ross plans to win back Emily by sending romantic gifts.
The One With The Yeti: Joey continues to keep Monica and Chandler’s secret, although he’s not to happy about keeping quite. Phoebe receives a mink coat as a family heirloom; since she’s against using fur, she plans to cremate it… until she sees herself wearing it in the mirror. Ross sells all his stuff and moves to a new apartment because Emily wants them to have a fresh start at a new life. Emily’s demands get to be a little too much for Ross, and he tells her she’s either got to trust him or their marriage won’t work. Emily decides she can’t trust Ross. Rachel and Monica are frightened by a hairy man in a dark storage room; the “Yeti” turns out to be Danny, a new tenent in the building. Rachel and Danny don’t seem to get along but end up going out for pizza together. Ugly Naked Guy is back.
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 All The Resolutions: Joey makes it possible for Monica and Chandler to kiss at midnight on New Years, by arranging kisses between Ross and Phoebe, and Rachel and himself. Everyone makes resolutions: Ross will do one new thing everyday; Chandler will stop making fun of his friends… for at least a week; Rachel won’t gossip; Joey will learn the guitar; Monica will take more pictures of everyone together; and Phoebe will pilot a commercial jet. While on a date with a new girl (Elizabeth Hornswoggle) Ross’ new pair of leather pants is so hot and tight that he can’t get them back on after taking them off to cool down in the bathroom. He calls Joey for advice, which leads to attempts first with powder and then with lotion, which just make things worse. Joey’s guitar teacher is Phoebe, who doesn’t know any actual chord names. Rachel finds out about Monica and Chandler, and is dying to tell someone; she tries to tell Joey but he’s so tired of keeping secrets, he won’t listen. Chandler can’t stand holding in the wisecracks.
The One With The Girl Who Hits Joey: Ross confronts Chandler about his relationship with Monica; at first Ross is angry, but he quickly sees the good in it. Ross, Joey, Rachel, and Phoebe talk about what it will be like if Chandler and Monica have kids. Chandler gets a bit freaked out about the idea of a lasting commitment and ends up in an argument with Monica. In a misguided effort to apologize, Chandler proposes marriage–an offer which Monica does not accept. Meanwhile, Joey dates Katie, a cute little woman who likes to punch Joey’s arm–a lot. It gets to be too much for Joey, and he decides to break up with her–which he’s very nervous about. Luckily, Katie nearly gets in a fight with Rachel and threatens to walk out on Joey if he doesn’t take her side. He refuses and the relationship ends. Ross moves into his new apartment; the president of the tenant’s committee asks him to contribute 100 dollars toward’s the retiring handyman’s gift. Ross has never even met the man, to he declines. Everyone in the building decides Ross is cheap and not “their kind of people,” so he stubbornly tries to win their friendship. Things just get worse, however, despite (and a little because of) Phoebe’s efforts to help him.
The One With Rachel’s Inadvertent Kiss: Rachel has an interview at Ralph Lauren, where she mistakenly kisses the interviewer (Mr. Zelner). She gets called back for a second interview, where she again mistakes Mr. Zelner’s actions and chews him out. Later, realizing her mistake, she meets with him again, straightens things out, and gets the job. Ross spends all his free time ‘acting’ in front of his window, thinking it entertains his friends. Joey tries to find a woman who keeps waving at him from Ross’ building, but somehow keeps ending up at Ross’ place instead. Monica obsesses about proving that she and Chandler are still a hot couple, like Phoebe and Gary. Chandler enjoys it for a while, but eventually helps Monica see that their relationship has progressed to a better level.
The One Where Ross Can’t Flirt: Monica and Chandler are going out for their ten-month anniversary; Chandler wants Monica to wear the earings he gave her. However, she lent them to Phoebe, who lent them to Rachel, who lost one. Ross sees Chandler flirting with the pizza girl (Caitlin) and decides he’s going to turn on the charm as well, with disasterous results. Joey has a part on Law and Order; his grandmother comes over to watch the show, but his part has been cut. Joey quickly improvises a scene on video tape and slips it into the VCR.
The One With Joey’s Big Break: Rachel has an eye infection but doesn’t want anyone touching her eye. Monica finally gets her to a doctor but then Rachel won’t use the eyedrops. Everyone has to hold her down and force her to use them. Phoebe is mad at Ross but can’t remember why. Joey gets the lead role in a independent film called Shutter Speed, being filmed in Las Vegas. He and Chandler start a road trip but Chandler lets slip that he doesn’t think this is Joey’s big break, and gets kicked out of the car. Joey makes it to Vegas but the movie is shutting down from lack of funds, leaving Joey trying to make ends meet as a gladiator at Caesar’s Palace.
