The One After Ross Says Rachel

After the brilliant season finale, the first episode of the 5th season doesn't disappoint.

The beginning when Ross is trying to clear things with Emily and to make the party happen were funny. Especially when he tells Joey to dance and he starts dancing in his weird way

One of the best parts is to see Chandler and Monica trying to find a place where they can have sex while in Londin because what happens in London doesn't count. Everyone is ruining it for them! Even on the plane. And again we see that this will go on because they can't stop even when coming home

And the ending of this episode is pretty cool again. It keeps it exciting
