8.01 The One After “I Do”

After everyone finds out Monica is not pregnant, much of the wedding reception is spent figuring out who is. Phoebe pretends it’s her, to cover for Rachel, but Monica realizes the truth. Chandler surprises Monica by announcing he’s been taking dancing lessons; but his wedding shoes are so slippery, he can’t dance. Joey changes out of his film costume, but all he can find is a tennis outfit. Mrs. Bing’s date is a Broadway producer, and Joey goes way too far trying to impress him. Ross changes the seating arrangements to be nearer a pretty woman (Mona), but ends up at the kids table instead. Each attempt to dance with Mona is foiled by dance requests by the female children. To impress Mona with his sweetness, he lets them stand on his feet while dancing. Rachel takes another pregnancy test to be sure; it’s positive, but first Phoebe tells her it’s negative, so she has a chance to realize how she really feels. Joey has freakishly tiny feet.

8.02 The One With the Red Sweater

The day after the wedding, everyone checks out of the hotel. Ross, always wanting to get his money’s worth, won’t check out until the last minute. Thanks to Joey, there are unexpected food and porn charges on several bills. Chandler forgot to make sure the disposable cameras were gathered after the reception, so he and Ross attend another wedding at the same location, to fake the photos (including one of Chandler kissing a different brunette bride). Monica can’t wait for Chandler’s return, so she opens all the wedding gifts without him. Joey, thinking that Phoebe is pregnant, proposes marriage and she accepts. Later, when he learns it’s Rachel, he proposes to her. She doesn’t accept. Joey remembers Rachel had someone spend the night a month earlier, who left behind a red sweater. Phoebe thinks it belongs to Tag, Rachel’s old boyfriend; but he’s not missing a red sweater. Later, Ross sees the sweater on the table. He picks it up and announces he’s been looking for it for a month.

8.04 The One With the Video Tape

Monica and Chandler return from their honeymoon, having made friends with another couple on the flight home. Afterwards they discover that the phone number the couple gave them is wrong, and they begin to wonder if they didn’t make a good impression. The gang ask Ross and Rachel how they got together the night she became pregnant. Rachel tells the story; when she says that Ross was the one to make the first move, an argument ensues. Ross announces that he can prove his side of the story, because he has the whole thing on video tape. Later, Ross (without Rachel) explains to Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey what happened that night. In the form of flashbacks, we learn that Ross had been going through a sexual “dry spell” and Joey gave him help in the form of a seductive story to tell his date (Kristen), about back-packing in western Europe. It didn’t go very well, so later Ross was practicing the story in front of a video camera. Rachel came in, and Ross forgot to turn off the camera. He and Rachel began talking about their relationship. One thing led to another, and they ended up having sex on tape. Ross shows the first few minutes of the tape and settles the argument.

8.05 The One With Rachel’s Date

Phoebe starts dating Monica’s new assistant chef (Tim). But when he doesn’t work out either as a chef or a boyfriend, they fight over who’s going to dump him first. Chandler (whose middle name turns out to be Muriel) blocks the promotion of Bob, who is under a 5-year mistaken notion that Chandler’s name is Toby. Joey introduces Rachel to his Days of Our Lives co-star (Kash), and they go out on a date. This bothers Ross, who is concerned with whom his unborn child is spending time. Her date doesn’t go well because Kash doesn’t react well to news that she is pregnant. Ross helps her understand how great it will be to have a baby, and invites her to have a cup of coffee. She declines, so he goes to the coffee shop on his own. Rachel, realizing how great Ross is, changes her mind, but she reaches the coffee shop only in time to see Ross hook up with Mona (from Monica’s wedding).

Ross helps Rachel stake a claim to an apartment in his building, occupied by a woman (who only speaks Dutch) on the verge of death. But Rachel decides not to move.
