The first episode on this volume of Friends Series 8 is classic silliness. "The One With the Cooking Class" has Monica joining a class after getting a bad review of her restaurant. Meantime Chandler foolishly allows Phoebe to give him advice on job interview technique. Time starts to tick faster for everyone in "The One Where Rachel is Late". Joey's WWI movie finally arrives, but is overshadowed by the wait for Rachel's overdue arrival. Naturally it's all build-up to the cliffhanger fans wait for every year. The two-part "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby" gave the millions of fans exactly what they wanted. While Janice manages to complicate the gang's general feelings, Monica and Chandler wrestle with their own concern with becoming parents. Joey makes up his mind over how to deal with his feelings for Rachel, but wouldn't you know it, it seems there might be dormant sparks between her and Ross after all. Surely their break should be over by now! --Paul Tonks

The One Where Rachel Has A Baby Parts 1 & 2 - In the one-hour season finale, Rachel has her baby while Ross hoverS nearby. However, whilst many other pregnant women are wheeled in and out, Rachel is caught in endless labour - and her waiting friends are causing havoc in the hospital. Meanwhile, Chandler and Monica search for a private room in a quest to have their own baby, and Joey enacts his Dr Drake Ramoray soap character in order to set up a handsome patient with Phoebe.
