The website Collider ranked the season number 8 on their ranking of the ten Friends seasons. Rachel and Monica demand that Chandler and Joey get rid of their pet birds when the rooster starts to crow incessantly every morning before sunrise.
The four of them also have an argument about who knows whom better, which results in Ross designing a trivia quiz with high stakes: if the men lose, they give up their pets, but if the women lose, they switch apartments with the men. The result comes down to a tie breaker, which the girls lose, thereby forcing them to move. Meanwhile, the embryos from Frank Jr. Chandler is depressed over his break-up with Kathy, leading to the girls intervening to help him get over the latter.

With no other options, Rachel asks for Ross's help after she accidentally becomes double-booked with Joshua and her boss, with the former inviting her to an inaugural club opening and the latter wanting her to accompany his niece, Emily, to an opera concert. In the end, Ross and Emily hit it off and ultimately end up spending the weekend together at a bed and breakfast in Vermont, whereas Rachel is unable to enter the club that she has been invited to due to a mix-up and ends up not meeting Joshua at all.
Meanwhile, Joey arrives home with an unpleasant odor following a three-day fishing trip with his father. He oversleeps and rushes to a movie set without showering. He later sneaks into Charlton Heston 's dressing room to take a shower and gets caught doing so by the latter. Meanwhile, Ross surprises Emily by inviting Rachel, causing him to reminisce about their time together. Rachel ponders the invitation while also reminiscing about her relationship with Ross. She concludes it will be too heartbreaking to attend the wedding and ultimately decides to stay with Phoebe in New York.
