The One with Rachel's Going Away Party

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 16 September 2011]

And so we are almost at the end....In this episode Rachel says goodbye to all her friends during her party. Those are very sweet and at the same time funny. Like the one when her and Monica are crying to each other. And Ross's reaction to not getting a personal good bye was pretty good!

We also get laughs from the mysterious handcuffs found in Rachel's old room. I like how Phoebe was criticizing them for not being good enough and the answer to who they belong to was pretty great as well

And we get a good ending that makes us wait for the big finale. Erica is in labour and Rachel and Ross kiss

Yah

The second last episode. I can't wait for the last one

Erica is going to have the babies!

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 21 May 2009]

Rachel is decided to go to Paris and already packed everything. She wants to say goodbye to all the Friends one by one. Ross stays upset that he is the only one who doesn't receive a personal goodbye, and he confronts Rachel about her attitude. She says that saying goodbye to him is the hardest thing to do, and they end up sleeping together.

Erica comes to New York, since in two weeks she will not be able to travel. Monica and Chandler are packing their things too, since they are moving to their new house very soon. While looking in the closets, Chandler finds handcuffs and stays upset thinking they are from Monica. They all stay thinking to who the handcuffs belongs, but they discover that they were from Monica's grandmother.

Erica starts to feel labor pains. The baby is coming and they run to the hospital.

Saying goodbye to 5 people is hard

This is a nice episode, albeit a very sentimental one, as each of the characters (except Ross) say goodbye to Rachel.

It's a shame we never got to see Joey's chat with her, though. I know time is tight in an episode, and they probably didn't want to make it too sentimental, but I would've liked to have seen that.

It builds to a fairly predictable finale, especially when you consider that the next episodes are the last, but this is a good episode.
