An introduction to the gang. After Rachel leaves her Mr Potato Head look-alike fiancé Barry at the altar, she moves in with Monica and discovers that independence sucks when you don't have Daddy's credit cards to rely on. Meanwhile, Chandler and Joey encourage Ross to experience the advantages of bachelorhood, and Phoebe supports herself by playing guitar in the subway.
