The gang is celebrating Phoebe's birthday at a fancy restaurant, but only she and Joey are on time: Monica finds out Chandler smoked with his colleagues in Tulsa and gets into a fight with him, which later ends up with her tricking him into having sex with her since she is ovulating; Ross and Rachel get locked outside their apartment with Emma inside and frantically try to get back in. When everyone finally makes it to dinner, Phoebe then leaves to meet Mike when he finishes work early. Then, Ross and Rachel take Emma back home after their "babysitter", Ross' mother Judy who accompanied them after Rachel got separation anxiety, pays more attention to the drinks at the bar than their daughter. Chandler and Monica leave to have sex since she is still ovulating. Only Joey stays to eat everyone's dinners.
