“There were about four different plotlines floating around:
1. Joey is uncomfortable around Rachel and is avoiding her. So Monica tells Rachel to make up a problem about work or somethinn to have something else to talk about with Joey, which in return froces Rachel on the spot to tell Joey that her boss wants to buy her baby...it was great!
2. Pheobe reads tea leaves in the beggining (this episode is called "the one with the tea leaves"--i think, thats what they said. And she reads her own cup saying that she will meet a guy...played by James Legros(from Ally Mcbeal) who was hilarious and creepy, I won't say anything else because it was so funny you have to watch!
3. Ross realizes he left his "salmon" colored shirt at Mona's and breaks in to get it back. That was funny as well, and I have to say Ross looked way cute in this episode, not quite as dorky as in previous ones.
4. Monica gets upset over the fact that Chandler messed up the organization of her cd's and they spend the episode fixing them. They were so cute in this episode. Alot of nice dialogue between the two.

That is the basics. The episode is cute and funny. But for me the whole experience was surreal. I have been watching since day one, which would make me 13 when it aired and I feel like it was apart of my childhood in a way. The whole cast was adorable and polite, goofy and generous. The seemed to love each other and what they do. Courtenet surprised me in the giddiness she exuded and I stll can't beleive it happened. The best part was at the end when the audience that was left got to sing happy birthday to a very surprised and grateful Jennifer, and they rolled out cakes for her with candles, she actually took time to make a wish and she seemed a little teary eyed too. It was the best!!!
there you go, I can answer questions if you need me too! sorry about typos, I'm writing fast!!! ”
