The One Where Rachel Loses A Monkey...

Warning: Spoilers
I like this episode. It's good, but not amazing. But I think that's mostly because it's basically centered around Ross, and Rachel, my most hated characters from the show. Well, I don't hate Rachel, I just dislike her. I do hate Ross. And I know "hate" is a strong word, but that's how I feel.

In this episode, Ross asks Rachel a favor, in the form of her "babysitting" Marcel the monkey for the day. Unfortunately for her, she leaves the front door to the apartment open, and he escapes. Ross is understandably, very angry with Rachel. She, along with everyone else, desperately try to find the missing monkey. Rachel ends up calling Animal Control for help, but was unaware that Marcel was an illegal exotic pet. Once Ross finds out about this, this just sends her deeper into the ground. They try to make the Animal Control employee try to understand what a loving pet he is, but since she knows Rachel, and Monica, and hates them, she vows to find the monkey first. Meanwhile, Rachel discovers that her ex- fiancé, Barry, is getting married to her ex-best friend, Mindy.

Worst part of the episode: Ross, and Rachel.

Overall, I give this episode an 8, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
