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.
A "high-spirited" restaurant owner wolfs down the gourmet meal Monica created as part of a job interview.
Joey asks Phoebe's sister (Lisa Kudrow in a dual role) on a date; Ross takes Lamaze classes with Carol (Jane Sibbett) and Susan (Jessica Hecht).
Monica takes Rachel to the hospital; Ross asks his dad (Elliott Gould) for advice on becoming a father.
When the girls lose money to the guys in a poker match they seek out Monica's Aunt Iris, a famous card player, for lessons and then demand a rematch.
