After leaving her fiancé, Barry, at the altar, Rachel finds herself in Central Perk Café, soaking wet in her wedding dress, looking for her old friend Monica.
Rachel returns her engagement ring to Barry, expecting him to be heartbroken, but learns he went on their cancelled honeymoon with her maid-of-honor, Mindy.
On the date, the ruse unravels due to the "inappropriate" behavior of the "siblings," forcing Joey to admit the lie to Monica, who he successfully convinces to work with him to break the couple apart.
Ross and Susan settle their differences and propose naming the baby Ben, derived from a janitor's uniform in the closet, which Carol agrees to.
Special Features include a commentary for the pilot episode with executive producers Kevin S. Bright, Marta Kaufmann and David Crane, a video guide to season one's guest stars, including George Clooney, Helen Hunt and Noah Wyle; an interactive map with inside stories from the crew, a trivia quiz and the trailer of Season Two DVD Release.
The critics consensus reads: "Friends' daffy situations elicit just as many eye-rolls as laughs, but this perky sitcom gets by with a little help from its immensely likable cast.".
"[31] Chicago Sun-Times' Ginny Holbert found Joey and Rachel's characteristics to be underdeveloped,[32] while Richmond commended the cast as a "likeable, youth ensemble" with "good chemistry";[28] Robert Bianco of USA Today was complimentary of Schwimmer, calling him "terrific".
He also praised the female leads, but was concerned that Perry's role as Chandler was "undefined" and that LeBlanc was "relying too much on the same brain-dead stud routine that was already tired the last two times he tried it".
