The One Where Rachel Finds Out
18 June 2011 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

This is the season finale and finally what we have been anticipation and waiting for happened: Rachel finds out that Ross is in love with her! It is pretty well done since they keep on making the viewers guessing if she will do anything about it or not. It is not very funny but it is interesting to see her worry about dating a friend and all the bad sides of dating a close friend. And it has a great cliffhanger which makes fans wait for the the next season

For the laughs this episode has the Joey story in which he participates in fertility study for which he doesn't only "donate his time". Because of this he can't sleep with his new girlfriend and needs to come up with solution. Just hilarious!
