Monica finishes the packing...
- Ross and Phoebe race to the other airport, afraid they are not going to make it in time to catch Rachel. Phoebe calls Rachel, and tells her there is something wrong with the "left phalange" which creeps out the rest of the passengers so everyone gets off. Ross and Phoebe get to the correct airport but Rachel has just boarded again. Phoebe screams as loud as she can, and Rachel comes back out. Ross tells Rachel he loves her, but she gets on the plane anyway. Meanwhile, Chick Jr and Duck Jr are stuck inside the foosball table, and Monica volunteers to break the table. When Ross gets back to his apartment, he finds a message that Rachel had left him. She says that she is trying to get off the plane. Ross listening to this, does not know that Rachel is standing behind him and they finally get back together. Monica and Chandler pack the final things in their apartment, and leave their keys, along with the rest of the gang who produce keys. Monica & Chandler, their twins, Joey, Phoebe , Rachel & Ross all go downstairs to have one more cup of coffee in Central Perk.
- As Chandler and Monica continue packing their apartment to move to the suburbs, Erica goes into labor three weeks early and they take her to the hospital. Chandler has a hard time getting along with Erica when left alone in the delivery room with her and makes several awkward jokes (which is worse, going through labor or getting kicked in the nuts. Dont mention the pregnancy at church camp). Joey gets a chick and a duck as Monica and Chandler's housewarming present. He believes the previous chick and duck were sent to a special farm where people are not allowed to visit.
Monica and Chandler watch their child, a boy, being born. Just as they're thanking Erica, the obstetrician warns them not to get too relaxed, as a second baby is on it's way shortly. Though shocked that Erica is having twins (Chandler panics and wants to keep only one, but Monica is firm that she cant split the twins), Monica and Chandler quickly decide to happily adopt both babies. They name the boy Jack (after Monica's father) and the girl Erica (after her birth mother).
Meanwhile, Ross and Rachel sleep together at his place, leading Ross to realize that he wants to get back together. Ross confides his feelings to Joey and Phoebe, who are at Joey's apartment in the morning. But when Ross comes to visit her in the morning, Rachel says that this was "the perfect way to say goodbye" and continues preparing for her flight to Paris. After talking with Joey and Phoebe at Central Perk, Ross decides to tell Rachel about his feelings before she leaves. But just as Ross approaches Rachel, he is interrupted by Gunther (James Michael Tyler), who professes his love to her. She rejects him as sweetly as possible (She says she also loves him, but probably not in the same way. She will always think of him whenever she drinks her coffee), but Ross, having seen Rachel rejecting Gunther, decides not to reveal his true feelings for Rachel. Phoebe argues that Ross has a relationship with Rachel and hence he should not compare himself to Gunther. Phoebe also says that once in Paris, Rachel is very likely to meet someone and then Ross would have lost his chance.
When Monica and Chandler come home with the twins (and the entire gang is shocked to see that its twins), Mike and Phoebe decide that they too want to start having kids. After meeting the twins briefly, Rachel says a tearful goodbye to Ross and gets in a taxi to the airport. Phoebe is disappointed that Ross let her go just like that. even Joey says that maybe Ross needs to think of their last night together, just like Rachel thinks. Ross can now move on since Rachel is on a different continent. Finally get over her
After Rachel leaves, Ross realizes he has to tell her how he feels. Phoebe and Ross chase Rachel in Phoebe's taxi to catch her at the airport before she takes off.
After ending up at the wrong airport and calling Monica to verify their info, Ross and Phoebe race to the right airport. Afraid they are not going to make it in time to catch Rachel (who is actually already on the plane), Phoebe calls Rachel, telling her there's something wrong with the plane's "left Phalange". The guy sitting next to Rachel freaks out and alarms the rest of the passengers, making everyone get off. This diversion is perfect for Ross, who catches Rachel just before she takes off again (also thanks to Phoebe's screaming, which makes Rachel turn around at the gates). Ross confesses his love for Rachel and says he wants to be with her, but it's too much for Rachel to take at the moment and all she can say to Ross is "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" and passes through the gates again.
As a house-warming gift, Joey has bought Chandler and Monica a new chick and duck, Chick Jr. and Duck Jr. However, when he tries to show them to Monica and Chandler, he cannot find them in his apartment. When he tells them, Chandler helps him search for the birds while Monica finishes packing. The two realize that Chick Jr. and Duck Jr are stuck inside the Foosball table, which Joey and Chandler don't want to break. Breaking it apart is a piece of cake for Monica, and she busts the table open. Joey and Chandler try to hide the awkward moment they have together as best friends, but they can't hold it and hug.
Ross doesn't meet the others at Monica's apartment because he is too sad about how he left things with Rachel. He goes home and checks his messages, and finds a message from Rachel. She admits repeatedly she loves him too, and by saying it over and over she realizes she wants to get off the plane. The message is cut in the middle of an argument between Rachel and a flight attendant. Ross tries to hear the rest of the message, asking himself "Did she get off the plane?". The door opens and he hears "I got off the plane." He turns and finds Rachel at the door. They kiss, and both state how this is going to be "it", and Ross rectifies with "Unless we're on a break" but then adds "don't make jokes now" and they resume their making out. It's assumed that Rachel and Emma move back in with Ross shortly afterwards as Rachel said "this is where I want to be" and are in a relationship.
At Monica and Chandler's apartment, which is completely empty now, the guys cherish their last moments together. It's too much for the friends to handle, and they all look tearful as they note that over the years they've all lived in the apartment at some point (including the summer Ross stayed with his grandmother while he attended dance classes in his youth). Monica tells Chandler they need to leave their keys, and it turns out that all six have a copy, though for some reason Joey's has been misplaced and he has a red lollipop as a replacement. Monica and Chandler have some time before they go to their new house, and the friends decide to go for a last cup of coffee. Chandler tries to break off the tension by asking "Where?" this being the last line of the show. They walk out of Monica's apartment. The camera slowly pans over the empty apartment while the song Embryonic Journey by Jefferson Airplane plays in the background, showing the friends' six keys on the counter, and then ends on the door.
