When you're young and single in the city, your friends are your family. A tight-knit group of friends living in Manhattan -- three girls and three guys -- navigate the complexities of adulthood and rely on the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to deal with the pressures of life.

Phoebe meets her estranged father (Bob Balaban) at her grandmother's funeral; Joey's fondness for an expensive bag loses him an audition; Chandler tells perfectionist Monica that she is useless at massage.

Monica and Ross cook Thanksgiving dinner for themselves, but everyone else shows up.

Ross must prove to his boss that he is sane in order to return to work; Phoebe finds out about Monica and Chandler's relationship; Ross hunts for a new apartment.

Ross is suspicious about Rachel's possible job offer from a good-looking stranger (Steven Eckholdt); Chandler can't remember which of Joey's many sisters he kissed at a party.
