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.

Joey lands his first lead role and finds his movie crew in a bind; Rachel gets an eye infection; Phoebe can't quite remember why she hates Ross.

Ross is distraught over the wedding; Emily punches Ross and flees from the reception; Monica and Chandler try to control their passions.

Phoebe, hoping for a Christmas family reunion, travels to upstate New York in search of her biological father.

Chandler and Monica reconcile and hastily decide to get married; Ross and Rachel get drunk and roam the casino; Phoebe deals with a lurker on the slot machines.
