Friends: The Complete Ninth Season (2002-2003)

The birth of Emma was great, wasn't it? Hopefully, Rachel will consider getting back together with Ross, now that she is the mother of his second child.

Phoebe and Joey decide to go out on a double date. Phoebe has fixed Joey up with one of her friends. She wants Joey to fix her up with one of his, but he hooks Phoebe up with a strange guy named Mike. Phoebe is pissed at Joey, but she forgives him when she and Mike become in love with each other.

Rachel and Ross decide to hire a nanny. All of the women they interviewed are not even close to being qualified, until they meet Sandy, a male nanny, who is more sensitive than any woman on this planet. Rachel hires him for she loves his ways with Emma, but Ross finds it unsettling, for he fires him only after a week or two.

Thanksgiving has arrived. You would think that from season six, Rachel only had one sister, which was Jill. But for this Thanksgiving, Rachel's other sister, Amy, shows up. She quarrels with Rachel about the fact that she and Ross will not be giving Emma to Amy, if *knock on wood* Ross and Rachel had died.

Rachel goes back to work about three weeks early, due to the fact that she maybe replaced permanently, with a guy named Gavin. He comes off as a jerk the first time round, but when he shows up at Rachel's birthday, giving her a birthday kiss, that all changes. Ross and Rachel fight about it, where Rachel moves in with Joey temporarily. Now that Rachel is back with Joey, Rachel and Ross seem to be a lot better in getting a long.

Phoebe and Mike have invited Monica to come to Mike's piano bar. Mike plays piano as the customers get up and sing popular songs from the 60s through today. Monica does not want to sing, but she reconsiders and decides to sing the Helen Reddy classic, "Delta Dawn". Monica gives a good performance, but the guys in the audience seem to enjoy seeing Monica where a see-through blouse more than hear her sing. While that is going on, Joey is getting his eyebrows shaped. Later, Mike and Phoebe break up because Mike's first marriage failed and he does not want to go through another marriage. After that, Phoebe runs into David, her ex-boyfriend from the first season's New Year's Eve party. They begin dating again.

Later, we find that Rachel has now developed loving feelings for Joey. As she goes through that, we find out that Monica and Chandler, who have been wanting to have a child since the day they said their I Do's, cannot have children through the natural process. They have three options: Surrogacy, Insemination, Adoption. Monica does not want to do a surrogacy, since she has prepared herself to carry a child. They temporarily go for the artificial insemination, but from another donor. Chandler thinks he's found the perfect donor named Zack, who works with Chandler. But Monica decides not to go with insemination, for she wants a child that is hers and Chandler's. They decide to adopt.

Ross meets Charlie, an assistant female Paleontologist, who is dropdead gorgeous. He readies himself to ask her out, but Joey took the liberty of it. Later on, Ross is scheduled to hold a Paleontology conference in Barbados, and he has invited Charlie and the gang out to Barbados. Charlie breaks up with Joey, for he has nothing in common with Charlie. Joey finds out about Rachel's feelings and begins kissing her passionately, after seeing Ross kiss Charlie. Phoebe knows that David, who has joined the gang as well, will propose to her, but Mike, after talking to Monica over the phone, shows up in Barbados and wins Phoebe back. Phoebe, although feeling sorry for David, goes back to Mike for good.

More laughs fill this hilarious ninth season of Friends. Guest stars include: Hank Azaria, Elliott Gould, John Stamos, Aisha Tyler, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jeff Goldblum, & Jon Lovitz.
