Storyline

Chandler finds out that Monica had a bacholerette party with stripper even though they promised not to have bachelor/bachelorette parties. Rachel takes Phoebe to have dinner with Rachel's dad because she is afraid her dad will be really angry when Rachel tells him she's pregnant. Mr Green is delighted to hear he will be grandfather but freaks out when he finds out that Rachel isn't getting married so she just tells him Ross won't marry her. Monica feels bad about having had a bachelorette party so she organizes a bachelor party including a stripper for Chandler. Joey is the only "guest" at Chandler's bachelor party because Chandler is embarrassed and doesn't really want to have the party. The stripper comes a-knocking but turns out to be a hooker. Mr Green goes to see Ross to yell at him but unfortunately for Ross Mona is there too so they are both yelling at Ross. Rachel explains everything to her dad and Mona who makes up with Ross.

Pregnancy of One

Rachel has a dinner with her unpleasant father and Phoebe. He suggests that Phoebe is lesbian and make some jokes about it. Throughout this "date", Dr. Green shows all his arrogance mixed with humor, which deliver some laughs in a matter of seconds. Then, Rachel tells the truth she was hiding (that she isn't getting married) and he gets very mad, so she just throw the guilt at Ross. Rachel's father also makes a funny joke involving the two meanings of bastard-- congrats for the writers, this one was very well thought. Then the rest of the episode is basically all about pregnancy, marriage and singleness issues, with several funny and light jokes. See this one!
