Full Product DetailsOkay, we might as well admit it: We never really thought Friends would end without a Ross-Rachel reconciliation. But that doesn't mean Season 10 didn't give us some anxious moments along with the comedy. Not content to rest on its laurels and coast to a vaguely satisfying but unsurprising conclusion, this outstanding sitcom continued to break new ground and wove genuinely dramatic situations into the final year's narrative fabric. The season opener, "The One After Joey and Rachel Kiss," finds Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) uneasy about revealing their newfound attraction at a time when Ross's (David Schwimmer) relationship with Charlie Wheeler (recurring guest star Aisha Tyler) is headed for trouble. Indeed, Charlie dumps Ross for old boyfriend Benjamin in "The One with Ross's Grant." What makes this episode unique in an in-jokey way is that Benjamin is played by Greg Kinnear -- who, like Tyler, was a former host of E!’s Talk Soup. Other plot threads running through this year's episodes include the increasingly frustrating efforts of newlyweds Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica (Courteney Cox) to adopt a baby, and the continued involvement of Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) in the lives of the triplets she bore as a surrogate mother. An outstanding episode -- indeed, one of the undisputed fan favorites of the entire run -- is "The One Where the Stripper Cries," which features a hysterical flashback to the 1987 prom, where we see Rachel with her old nose and a considerably heavier Monica. "The One with Rachel's Going-Away Party" sets up the long-awaited reconciliation wherein Rachel prepares to leave for Paris and falls into bed with Ross on her last night in town. The two-part series finale "The Last One," ties up the loose ends most satisfactorily -- but then, unless you were living on another planet in the spring of 2004, you know that already.
