Pete is still in love in Monica, and he offers her a restaurant. She refuses at first, but they end up making out. Written by Pruneau

The One with the Chick and the Duck
16 May 2008 | by (Brazil) – See all my reviews

While watching TV, Joey sees cute chicks being sold and decides to buy one for him and Chandler. Since the chick needs attention, one of them needs to be at home to take care of it, what makes Joey and Chandler fight and decide to donate the chick to an animal shelter. When Chandler goes to the animal shelter, he stays upset to see so many animals abandoned, and he stays not only with the chick, but he also brings a duck for him and Joey.

Pete, the millionaire, buys a restaurant and wants Monica to be the head Chef. Monica accepts the invitation because she thinks that Pete doesn't like her anymore, since Pete lied about meeting a new woman in one of his travels.

Ross lost his interview to National Geografic because he helped Rachel to go the hospital in the same time he should be giving the interview. (She has a broken rip) Rachel realizes the sacrifice Ross did in order to help her.
