Synopsis: After sleeping with Rachel, Ross wants to get back together, but she sees it as the perfect way to say goodbye. Erika gives birth to twins which Chandler and Monica bring home.

The Good: One of the best scenes is where Gunther tells Rachel he loves her. Eight seasons of him being a plot device finally lead to something useful as it convinces Ross not to say anything. The two stories run simply and set up part two. The birth of twins is a neat twist and leads to the usual emotional scenes. Joey sitting on paint is worth an easy laugh.

The Bad: Phoebe and Joey are forced to push lame jokes on Ross throughout, as is Chandler, to try and inject humour into scenes which don’t have much. The writers have learnt nothing from seasons of poor dialogue and can’t leave serious scenes alone. Considering this is part one of the finale you would think more would happen but this is pretty simple stuff.

Best Line: (Ro) “This was amazing.”
(Ra) “It really was. You’ve learnt some new moves.”
(Ro) “Yeah, well this guy at work gave me Sex for Dummies as a joke. Who’s laughing now?”

Best Friend: Rachel
