Phoebe arrives at the hospital to deliver triplets as a surrogate for her brother Frank and Alice, but her doctor's Fonzie obsession threatens to contaminate every medical moment. Meanwhile, Joey's supposed sympathy pains turn out to be kidney stones requiring procedures he vehemently rejects, and Chandler's attempt to play it cool by claiming he and Monica are "just goofing around" backfires when she takes him seriously and gets enthusiastic about dating a male nurse.

This milestone 100th episode balances genuine emotion with absurd comedy as Phoebe faces the reality of giving up babies she carried while navigating medical chaos. The episode demonstrates how the characters handle major life moments through their typical dysfunction, with Chandler's backwards vulnerability accidentally working and Phoebe's competitive aunt positioning mixing tenderness with negotiation tactics.
