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.

Rachel finds it embarrassing that she is paying the way for her hunky new boyfriend (Eddie Cahill), who is also her assistant at work.

Ross struggles to maintain a long-distance relationship; Chandler's well-intended attempts to get Rachel a date seem to miss the mark; Monica's plan to assert some authority at her new restaurant goes awry.

Rachel's career is obstructed by her boss, Joanna; Monica faces a big decision; Chandler, Ross and Joey party.

While Monica helps Rachel move out, the two women have a war of words; Chandler says a "financial" adios to Joey.
