I'll Be There For You

Here are all the episodes from Season Six!

TOA VEGAS
Ross and Rachel wake up in bed together, remembering almost nothing about the night before. At breakfast, their friends ask them about it. Shocked, they decide to get an annulment once they're back in New York. Ross tells Rachel he's taken care of it, but he hasn't. Neither Chandler nor Monica wants to go through with their own marriage plans, but each one is scared to back out. They decide to look for another sign... but even though the signs keep coming, they keep denying it. Finally, Chandler suggests they live together. Joey (who still has Phoebe's cab) convinces her to keep him company on the drive home. He promises to make it a fun road trip, but he ends up sleeping most the time.
Ross: We're still married! Don't tell Rachel. See you later.

TOW ROSS HUGS RACHEL
Ross hasn't gotten the annulment yet... but he has gotten a little crazy. It seems the idea of a 3rd failed marriage has pushed him over the deep end. Phoebe (and her panel of women) decide Ross is still in love with Rachel. Ross is in such denial about this that to prove them wrong he goes to his lawyer (Russell) to take care of the annulment... but finds that it's more complicated than expected, and Rachel will have to be told the truth. Chandler and Monica break the news of their live-in plans, first with Joey (who is happy for them, but sad to be losing Chandler) and then to Rachel (who doesn't seem to have much of a reaction at all... until she takes it seriously). Rachel is so sad that Ross still can't tell her the truth. Phoebe foretells the future marriages of the entire group.
Phoebe: Don't be worried about that! Your tombstone can say whatever you want it to say! It could say, "Ross Geller, Good at Marriage!" You know? Mine's gonna say, "Phoebe Buffay, Buried Alive."

TOW ROSS'S DENIAL
Phoebe has a roommate named Denise nobody has heard of before. Rachel tries to find a new apartment, and receives offers from Joey and Ross. Ross goes back and forth on whether he thinks it's really a good idea. Phoebe continues telling Ross he's in love with Rachel, and he keeps denying it. Chandler and Monica fight about what to do with Rachel's room and Chandler's furniture. For a while it looks like no one will be moving anywhere. Joey searches for a new roommate, and it's clear what he's really looking for. Ross still doesn't tell Rachel that they're still married.
Phoebe: Now, if you want to receive e-mails about my upcoming shows, then please give me money so I can buy a computer.

TOW JOEY LOSES HIS INSURANCE
Rachel packs her things and moves to Ross's apartment. Once there, she intercepts a phone call from Ross's lawyer revealing they're still married. Phoebe's psychic tells her she's going to die this week. Ross becomes a guest lecturer at NYU. He's so worried his presentation won't go well that he panics and presents it with an phony English accent. Joey's medical benefits lapse because he hasn't done enough acting recently. He contacts his agent, Estelle (who mistakenly believes he'd gone to another agent), to arrange for some auditions. He gets a severe hernia before auditioning, but refuses to go to the hospital until he has insurance again.
Chandler: I'm sorry man. There's never a good time to...stop catching on fire.

TOW JOEY'S PORSCHE
Rachel and Ross go to a judge to get their annulment, but they air too much dirty laundry. The judge decides they don't qualify for an annulment, so they go to Ross's lawyer for a divorce. Ross makes it pretty obvious that he still loves Rachel. Rachel reveals that it was her drunken idea to get married. Joey finds the keys to someone's Porsche. He decides to wait by the car until the owner shows up. He gets mistaken for the owner, and likes the attention he gets so much that even after the owner takes the car away, he keeps up the charade. Phoebe, Monica and Chandler take care of Frank and Alice's babies. Chandler gets a toy stuck in his throat and Monica takes him to the doctor. Phoebe has to take care of the babies by herself.
Chandler: "Little baby-girl Chandler," where I have heard that before? Oh right, Coach Reuben.

TOO THE LAST NIGHT
Chandler tries to get Joey to accept some money so he'll be able to get by for a few months without a roommate. Joey won't take it, but Chandler invents a game called "Cups" and lets Joey win the money. Later, Joey teaches Ross to play Cups, and loses all the money to him. While packing on Rachel's last night in the apartment, Phoebe's misguided advice leads Monica and Rachel to fighting. Ross doesn't want to help with the packing, so he says he has to take care of Ben. Since Monica can see into his apartment, he makes a "fake Ben" to fool her.
Phoebe: Hurry! Monica's going to make you pack! She's got jobs for everyone! Now it's too late for me, but save yourselves!

TOW PHEOBE RUNS
Rachel and Phoebe, new roommates, decide to run together in the park each day. Phoebe's weird running style embarrasses Rachel. Joey gets a beautiful new roommate (Janine) and struggles to avoid flirting with her. He thinks she's interested in him, so he seeks advice from Ross and Chandler on how they "repel women." Chandler cleans his and Monica's apartment, but afterwards can't remember where everything goes. He tries to keep Monica out of the apartment while he figures out what to do.
Joey: Look, I need your help. I have to do something to... to repel this woman! Wait a minute, wait a minute! You guys repel women all the time!

TOW ROSS'S TEETH
Phoebe visits Rachel at work and makes out with Kenny the copy boy, thinking it's Ralph Lauren.

Ross goes too far when he whitens his teeth in preparation for a date with Hillary, Monica's co-worker. Chandler tries to convince Joey that he's letting Janine make him and the apartment too girly.

Rachel makes an English Trifle for dessert, but gets the recipe mixed up with a Shepard's Pie. Phoebe dreams about Mr. Geller and starts to see him differently... until another dream ends it for her.
Chandler: This is so good that I'm going to enjoy it on the balcony, so that I can enjoy the view whilst I enjoy my dessert.

TOW THE ROUTINE
Janine gets hired to dance at the pre-taping of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve; she invites Joey, Monica, and Ross to come along.

Rachel and Phoebe convince Chandler to help them search for the Christmas presents Monica is giving them.
Rachel: Well, that's a lot better than Ross trying to kiss me in High School, and saying that he did it because he needed chapstick.

TOW THE APOTHECARY TABLE
Rachel buys furniture from Pottery Barn, but tells Phoebe she got it at a flea market, because Phoebe hates Pottery Barn. The deception is complicated by the fact that Ross buys an identical table from Pottery Barn. Joey and Janine spend time with Monica and Chandler; Janine doesn't like hanging out with them, and hard feelings grow and grow until Joey and Janine break up and Janine moves out.

He takes a job as a waiter at the coffee house to earn some extra money. After closing the shop for an hour so he can go to an audition, he is fired. But Rachel tells Gunther to give Joey his job back, and of course Gunther complies.

The only one available is for identical twins, but it pays so much that Joey can't resist. He hires another actor to play his twin brother. Rachel and Phoebe are taking a self-defense class, but Ross feels they don't have Unagi, a state of total awareness, in which you can be prepared for any danger.

At first Monica's apartment seems to be the accomodation of choice, but it soon becomes clear that Joey's is the place to be.

Phoebe makes matters worse by suggesting that Chandler is angry with them. Rachel tries to get Paul to open up and express his feelings.

Returning home, the rest of the gang almost blows the secret, and Chandler decides to act like marriage is the furthest thing from his mind, so Monica won't get suspicious. Rachel takes Phoebe and Joey to a charity event which her boss is hosting. Phoebe drinks a lot; Joey thinks the silent auction is just a contest to guess the right price, and he ends up buying a sailboat for $20,000. Rachel convinces the second-place bidder to buy it, but she also convinces Joey to keep it, in the process. A dorm-room water-balloon fight shows Ross that his relationship with Elizabeth doesn't have a future, so he breaks up with her.

Richard shows up at Monica's restaurant and tells her he still loves her, leading Monica struggling with what she wants for her future. Joey hangs out in his new Captain's outfit. Rachel and Phoebe talk about having backups: guys to marry if they're not married by the time they're 40. Rachel tries to line up Ross as a backup, but discovers Phoebe has already made that deal with Ross... and with Joey, too. The four of them have a confrontation and decide that Ross is Rachel's backup, and Joey is Phoebe's. Chandler and Monica finally get engaged.
I think the whole concept of marriage is unnatural. I mean look at pigs. Let's take a second here and look at pigs. Okay, pigs don't mate for life. I mean a pig can have like a hundred sexual partners in a lifetime, and that's just an ordinary pig, not even a pig that's good at sports!
