418 The One With Rachel's New Dress

Phoebe is asked to name one of the three babies she's carrying and this sparks some rivalry between Joey and Chandler, who each want the baby named after them. Susan is shooting a commercial in London so Emily offers to show her around. Ross worries that they might be having too much of a good time together like when Carol started spending time with Susan. Rachel plans a big date with a special dinner, new lingerie and a nice dress. While eating dinner at her place, the chick and the duck upset Joshua, who has a phobia of farm birds. Since his apartment is being remodeled and his parents are out of town, they go to his parents' house. Unexpectedly, his parents return home while Rachel is wearing only a negligee. She tells them it's actually a new dress and ends up having to wear it while they all go out to dinner.
