About Season Five

Season five begins with Ross's wedding to Emily, right after he accidentally said Rachel's name at the altar. He spends most of the series trying to win her back, but the marriage ends in his second divorce after Emily admits she can't trust him. Ross suffers with rage after someone at work eats his Thanksgiving sandwich, and goes on sabbatical from work. He moves in with Chandler and Joey when Emily's cousin kicks him out of their apartment. He moves into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment, across the street from Monica and Rachel. When he hears Emily is gettig married again, he has a brief relationship with Janice. The series ends with a drunken Ross and Rachel getting married in Las Vegas.
Season five also brings us the romance between Monica and Chandler, with the first half of the season revolving around them trying to hide the relationship from the rest of the group. When Chandler accidentally kisses Monica in front of Phoebe and Rachel, he covers up his mistake by kissing the two of them, too. Joey finds out about the relationship after working out they went on a trip together and egrees to keep it quiet, which prompts the rest of the group to believe he is a pervert. When Phoebe and Rachel find out, they try to "play" with Monica and Chandler with Phoebe pretending to be attracted to him.
Towards the beginning of the season, in the show's 100th episode, Phoebe gives birth to the surrogate triplets she was carrying for her half-brother, Frank Jr, and his wife. Despite being told the triplets would be two boys and a girl, one of male babies turned out to be a girl. They kept the name Chandler, which Phoebe had previously chosen, for her. Phoebe dates a cop, Gary, who takes Joey, Ross and Chandler out in his car on a ride-along, where Joey supposedly saves Ross's life after hearing a car backfire and thinking it was a gunshot. Phoebe breaks up with Gary just after they move in together, because he shoots a bird. Phoebe meets her biological father, Frank, at her grandmother's funeral.
Joey focuses on his acting career by attempting to learn how to play guitar, which is one of the talents he says he has on his resumé. He messes up an audition after taking to a unisex bag, which everyone mistakes for a purse. The end of the season sees him get what he believes is his "big break" in a movie in Las Vegas, which ends up getting cancelled due to a lack of money. To protect his dignity, Joey pretends to everyone that the movie is still going ahead, and gets a job in a casino to pay for the hotel he stays in. He has to admit he lied when the group pay him a visit.
Rachel is still in love with Ross, and tells him even though he's married to Emily. She begins dating Danny, after she and Monica fog him when they think he's a yeti. She eventually dumps him because of his disturbingly close bond with his sister. She inadvertently kisses her interviewer when applying for a new job, then takes up smoking to get to know her boss and co-workers better.
The season also includes an episode dedicated to past Thanksgivings, in which we see Ross, Rachel, Monica and Chandler back when they were in high school and college.
