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.

Ross seeks Phoebe's advice to help him sort out the legal status of his relationship with Rachel; Monica and Chandler plan to move in together.

Ross has Rachel on his mind when he gets between feuding Monica and Chandler; Joey advertises for a specific roommate.

The group's plans of throwing a birthday party are marred when money becomes an issue; Monica gets a promotion; Chandler sets a woman up to get a date with her, but a case of mistaken identities means that he discovers what she really thought of him.

A hernia-bearing Joey tries to pick up a quick acting gig; Rachel discovers that Ross never had their marriage annulled.
