Ep 8. The One With The List

The One With The List is the eighth episode of the second season of the popular American comedy television show Friends. This episode originally aired on November 16, 1995, on NBC.

The episode focuses on the aftermath of Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) drunken kiss in the previous episode. Ross is conflicted about his feelings for Rachel and Julie, his girlfriend of four months. He cannot choose between the two and seeks advice from Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc). They suggest that he make a list of pros and cons for both women to see who comes out on top.

Meanwhile, Monica (Courteney Cox) is dining with her ex-boyfriend Richard's (Tom Selleck) son, Timothy. She wants to prove to Richard that she can handle being around his son and that she is mature enough to have children. However, things do not go as planned when Timothy reveals that his mother is pregnant, and Monica accidentally tells him about her previous miscarriage.

As Ross tries to make his list, Rachel discovers that she is the subject of it. She and Ross argue, but they ultimately make up when Ross admits that he cannot stop thinking about her. Julie overhears this and breaks up with Ross, feeling that he still has feelings for Rachel.

Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) comes to the conclusion that she has a male "spiritual protector" following her around and helping her make decisions. She enlists Chandler and Joey to help her find him and discovers that it is actually a stray cat. Phoebe decides to keep the cat, much to Chandler's dismay.

The One With The List is a classic episode of Friends that explores the complexities of relationships. It showcases the hilarious banter between the six friends and highlights the difficulties of choosing between two people you care about. The episode is filled with memorable one-liners and comedic moments that make it a fan favorite.
