|ShortSummary=Monica and Chandler try to hide their relationship but kiss in front of the others, accidentally. Chandler then kisses Rachel and Phoebe, which Monica then explains as his 'European thing.' Eventually all three girls put a stop to it (this includes Monica). Monica is put in charge of Rachel's love life because Rachel believes that she makes bad decisions, and Phoebe's water breaks and is upset that her bond with the triplets is coming to an end but glad she no longer has to do "pregnant stuff." Rachel tells Ross she is still in love with him, however once she does the two of them realize how ludicrous the situation is and decide not to do anything.

|ShortSummary=Joey gets a job at a [[PBS]] telethon which prompts Phoebe to reveal that she hates PBS. He tells her that there is no such thing as a selfless good deed and she tries to find one to prove him wrong. Emily finally contacts Ross and they decide to give their relationship another try and she agrees to come to New York – if Ross promises to stop being friends with Rachel. Ross doesn't immediately answer, but when Rachel (not knowing Emily's demand) tells him that he needs to do whatever he needs to in order to get his wife back Ross agrees. When Rachel reveals that Monica said her new "secret boyfriend" (who is Chandler) was the "best sex she ever had", Chandler begins to gloat, much to Monica's dismay.

|ShortSummary=Chandler and Monica go away for the weekend but spend the entire time fighting after Monica insists on constantly changing rooms due to her high standards whilst Chandler tries to watch a car chase on TV. Ross tells Rachel about his agreement with Emily, and he and Rachel get into a fight. After Monica tells Rachel that she's lost her [[eyelash curler]], Joey realizes that Monica and Chandler are in a relationship (as the manager of the hotel in which Chandler stayed in had informed Joey that there was an eyelash curler left in Chandler's room). He is happy for them but shocked, and begrudgingly agrees to keep the secret.

|ShortSummary=Phoebe receives a fur coat from her mother. At first she wants to get it cremated, but then starts to get attached to it. Monica and Rachel look for a waffle maker in the basement, the light falters and they see a very hairy guy, whom they mistake for a yeti. He then turns out to be their new neighbor, Danny. Emily's demands start to get more and more unreasonable as Ross is forced to move out of the apartment and sell his furniture as Emily doesn't want him living anywhere near Rachel or own anything that's been touched by her. As he enjoys dinner with the gang, Emily calls Ross and her reaction upon learning Rachel is there makes him realize she doesn't trust him. In the end, the two agree that their marriage is over.

|ShortSummary=With his second marriage having failed before it began and currently homeless, Ross can feel the stress building up. When his boss eats (and throws away some of) his last Thanksgiving sandwich at work he erupts and earns himself indefinite leave. Joey, still the only person aware of Monica and Chandler's secret relationship, finds himself constantly having to cover for them after Chandler's underwear is found in Monica's apartment and a nude picture of Monica is left in his kitchen but this starts to make him look like a sexual deviant. Joey soon tires of this and looks ready to spill the beans but can't go through with it, instead getting revenge by saying that Monica had slept with him in London and has been stalking him ever since. Phoebe attends literature classes which she wants to learn seriously but Rachel, who accompanies her, takes it as nothing more than some fun. The two soon agree that, as Phoebe is taking it seriously, Monica should go instead only for her to end up sucking all the fun out of it with her competitive nature.

|ShortSummary=Monica finds out that Chandler kisses up to his boss at work and starts to lose respect for him, but behind her back, Rachel is trying to get Monica to confess her secret. However, when she doesn't, Rachel feels hurt that Monica is apparently unwilling to confide in her. Ross learns Emily is engaged again, and has a one-night stand with someone the group is all too familiar with, Janice. Later, Janice breaks up with him though, as she ironically "can't take another second of [his] whining."
