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.

Monica finds it difficult to break up with her latest boyfriend (Geoffrey Lower), whom everyone likes; Chandler starts smoking again; Phoebe receives a large sum of money.

Ross tries to win back Rachel's job with her former fashion employer; Phoebe tries to keep Joey from learning about his agent's death; Monica and Chandler make a horrifying discovery.

While the men attend a hockey game and end up at a hospital, the women spy on President Clinton's top aide, George Stephanopoulos, who lives across the street.

One of the guys becomes offended when Rachel does not give him the same goodbye she gives the others.
