Phoebe's impersonation of Estelle was really funny. Lisa Kudrow is so underrated. Watching in syndication I now believe she was the funniest character on the show. The Ross Rachel storyline in this episode was forgettable.

Everybody stay sad with the idea, and Ross wants Rachel living in New York, so he goes to talk with Rachel's ex boss in Ralph Lauren, asking him to give her job back. Ross tries to buy favors from Rachel's ex boss, offering a lot of interesting things to his son, that loves paleontology and also is called Ross.
Phoebe is reading the obituaries and sees Estelle's name in there. She knows that Joey is going to be sad if he discovers what happened, so she asks the Friends to not tell anything to Joey.
Monica and Chandler are in their future new house, and they go to the house next door , since she is on sale, to see if it good or not. Once there, they meet Janice, who is interested to buy the house and be their new neighbor.

I'm literally in love with the episode, but every episode ends when I'm so sad .. I mean .. it has been a long journey .. just to think that I'm going to wake up in the morning everyday eating my breakfast without watching an episode of friends is so painful .. everyone is just changing, that end is near .. and so I face the final certain .. my friend , I we'll say it clear .. everything is starting to build to the end .. we are not the six friends together anymore .. I'm in the last chapter of the show .. and I'm really not ready for that .. I really feel lost and Don't know what t feel anymore .. I can expect that everything has an end .. but Who will fill the void in the heart after his loved is gone?!💔
The One Where Estelle Dies

The best part of this episode is Ross trying to get Rachel her job back so that she doesn't go to Paris. He is so great in his conversation with Zelner. How he finds out that his kid's name is Ross and he loves dinosaurs, and how he suggest that he can take little Ross to the museum at night and let him touch everything he wants. Absolutely great
It was also awesome to see Janice once again! And it was fun to see Chandler being all scared that she will be his new neighbour! Too bad they got out of it, this would have been a great idea for a new show: the Bings and Janices in the suburbia!
Joey's story how Estelle died was also pretty good especially when he thinks that Estelle's ghost is calling him

Although this can't be classed as a backdoor pilot, this was the closest that 'Friends' ever got to helping set up its spin-off 'Joey', as the actors agent is killed off here.
Yes, with the help of caller ID nowadays this story line falls a bit flat, but hey, it's well performed by Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.
Maggie Wheeler makes her customary once a season appearance, and it's nice that there's some closure between her character, Janice, and Chandler.
Ross's actions were a bit questionable, but you buy into it because you know that deep down him and Rachel are meant to be together.
A nice episode overall, with three strong stories.

So....this wasn't a 2 or 3.

And I was struggling on what to settle on.
Then I saw someone else rated it a 6.
And my reaction was...well that's insane.
And so since 5 is right next to 6...I needed distance between 6 and the rating I gave.
So 4 it is.
There are moments of watchableness...buried amongst the cr*p.
Maybe 40% good...40 % really bad...and 40% neutral.
Mix all that together...4.
I could possibly have gone to 5...but no reason to be generous with this show.
What it has done...it doesn't get the benefit of rounding up.
