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 considers accepting a dream job in Pete's new restaurant but fears there is more to the deal; Ross makes a sacrifice for Rachel.

The gang goes to the opening night of Joey's plays; Rachel brings a date (Ben Stiller) to make Ross jealous; Joey's play gets terrible reviews, but his co-star provides some comfort.

Afflicted with a mysterious skin condition, Ross seeks advice from Guru Saj; Monica can't decide about Pete.

To her horror, Monica's boyfriend plans to fight; the friends are intrigued by a conversation between two strangers.
