It’s been a few years since everyone’s favorite group of pals have all been together at the same time, but this calls for a celebration.

Ross and Rachel are on a break… again, some inexperienced guests cause tension for Monica and Chandler, Phoebe is having issues finding a babysitter for her nieces and nephew, and is someone actually trying to SHARE food with Joey? Before the night is out, someone might be a victim of some “friendly” fire.
