I could watch this one over and over and day, any time! Always a great pick me up. Every character, even Gunther, has their character traits on full display in this episode. The writer(s) for this one clearly know and love our friends. From the first scene to the last, it's a classic!. I've been late for many an appointment because I just can't stop watching. All the facial expressions are just perfect. We are routing for Ross & Rachel to finally figure things out. The guest Dave character is the perfect foil to Rachel's indecision. Sweet Chandler, silly Joey, quirky and kind Phoebe and clueless Ross with his controlling sister Monica are classic alongside Aniston's embodiment of adorable Rachel make this episode a treasure.

The One Where Rachel Comes Back From Greece...
taylorkingston31 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I really love this episode. It's really funny. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes. But then again, they're pretty all my favorite episodes.
In this episode, Rachel comes home from Greece, you know, after Ross left her at the airport all alone. He was meant to go with her, but Emily showed up, so of course he chased after her. Rachel says that she had a wonderful trip. With nice people, nice hotel and that she really had a great time. But as soon as Ross leaves she starts complaining about how terrible it was. The fact that she stayed in the Honeymoon Suite without Ross. People asking her why she was crying, whilst calling her Mrs Gellar. Etc. Ross keeps confusing Emily and Rachel's names up, just like at the wedding. And as I'm sure you can guess, that's not going very well for him. Monica and Chandler are still keeping their relationship a secret, but when Chandler accidentally kisses Monica at the breakfast table, he covers his tracks by kissing Phoebe and Rachel as well. He does this throughout the episode, so he doesn't blow their cover. Phoebe feels very left out because everyone went to London without her, whilst she was at home, pregnant. She gets very upset when anyone mentions London. She even draws herself in one of Monica's photos, to make it look like she was there. At the end of the episode, the gang decides to take a trip to Atlantic City, to make it up to her. But just before they were about to leave, Phoebe's water breaks. She still insists on going and obviously they don't.
Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10.

Rachel is in love with Ross!

Phoebe starts to be annoyed with the fact that all the Friends only talk about their trip in London. She was the only one who could not travel because of her pregnancy, and she doesn't understand many of the things they are saying. To make Phoebe a little more happy, the Friends decide to go to Atlantic City with her.
Rachel comes back from Ross' Honeymoon travel in Greece, all tanned but angry with Ross, since she was ''abandoned'' alone in the flight too Greece. At the same time, she wants to tell him how much she likes him, but Monica thinks it is not a good idea.
Chandler kisses Monica when they are in public with the other Friends. He doesn't want the other Friends to find it suspicious, so he also kisses Phoebe and Rachel, to look as if it were an European habit he got in England.

Two dull long-running storylines
studioAT4 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
For me the 5th series of 'Friends' is a weak one, perhaps because the creators at this point were juggling the other shows they had in production.
A reason for the decline for me is because two storylines drag on throughout most of the year.
The Ross/Emily storyline here is tedious, and while the Monica/Chandler romantic cover up is funny it will drag on too long.
Not a great episode.

The One with All the Kissing
ComedyFan201011 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Rachel's idea in this episode to let Monica make her decisions. Who in their right mind would let Monica do that. This actually shows that Rachel is indeed horrible at making decisions, lol
I usually don't notice things like clothes but in this review I have to make a special mentioning of Rachel's yellow dress. It was beautiful and she looked so great and elegant in it. I do think that Jennifer Anniston is a very good looking woman but this was probably the most gorgeous I have ever seen her, really breath taking
I liked the conversation between Rachel and Ross, very well done. It showed the little awkwardness in the beginning and then what great friends they are because this would not ruin things between them
The whole story of Chandler kissing every one was a nice amusing addition to the episode
And I found it cute how Phoebe was getting jealous that she didn't go to London and shared this time with them. And it was very sweet of the rest to plan a trip for her. Unfortunately it won't happen, but luckily it is because the babies are coming the next episode!!!!!

Warning: Spoilers
This episode slowly built up and was best near the end.
Phoebe feels left out because the gang talks about Britain and she did not go.
Chandler accidentally kisses Monica so he has to kiss the other girls to cover up what he did. They wonder if it is some new European thing.
Rachel stays behind with Ross and poses prettily ready to talk. She wears cute blue straight jeans and a striped top. Ross puts his newspaper away and gives all attention to Rachel. He looked hot when he did this. Rachel admits she still loves him.
The gang is ready to go to Atlantic City but then the guys notice water dripping from Phoebe. Her water broke.

The beginning of a very long, boring and pointles story arc
puzgolac17 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For some reason that is not stated yet (and will make very little sense when they say it in the later episodes), Chandler and Monica decide to keep their romance a secret. Thus begins one of several long, boring and pointless story arcs in this show. It is not the first time, and certainly not the last. Friends are well known for drawing things out - whether it is milking a scene for too long, or stretching what should have been a single scene into an entire episode (Chandler faking that he'll never propose to Monica, and then her faking that she left him, that will come later - the very essence of cringe), or drawing out what should have been a theme of an episode into a season long borefest - which is the case with the secret relationship. It is not yet terribly annoying, because this is just the start, but it will get real bad real soon.
