Marlo Thomas guest stars as Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) mother, Sandra Green, who shows up at the apartment with startling news. This comes just as Ross' (David Schwimmer) ex-wife, Carol (Jane Sibbett), is about to marry her girlfriend, Susan (Jessica Hecht), in an event catered by Monica (Courteney Cox). And Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) elderly massage client Mrs. Adelman dies -- but her spirit isn't about to leave until she sees how the of rest of the episode comes out. Candice Gingrich, sister of Senator Newt Gingrich, has a significant supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Already displeased that Ross (David Schwimmer) is attached to Julie (Lauren Tom), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) isn't prepared for the news that Monica (Courteney Cox) is becoming friends with Julie. In other developments, Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and a rival in love (Joel Beeson) are hired as department-story models, Joey as the Bijan Cologne Man and the other fellow as The Hombre Guy. And apropos the episode's title, Carol's (Jane Sibbett) breastfeeding of baby Ben -- to say nothing of her cache of bottled breast milk -- causes discomfort amongst the boys. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1995
Ross' ex-wife, Carol (Jane Sibbett), goes into labor, leading to a heated "I'm more help to her!" confrontation between Ross (David Schwimmer) and Carol's girlfriend, Susan (Jessica Hecht). In her efforts to end the argument, Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) performs a reverse procedure of sorts by dragging Susan back into the closet. Meanwhile, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) learns more than she wants to about the OB-GYN (Jonathan Silverman) she likes, Joey (Matt LeBlanc) assists in another birth, and Monica (Courteney Cox) broods and broods. June Gable, normally cast as Joey's agent, Estelle, is here seen as a nurse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1995
Ross (David Schwimmer) plunges back into the dating scene when he takes out his gorgeous neighbor Kristen (Heather Medway) on Valentine's Day.

As for Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), and Monica (Courteney Cox), they cook up a hot time of their own.

- 1995
Ross (David Schwimmer) chooses to be the only one who doesn't know the gender of his unborn baby. After Paolo (Cosimo Fusco) gets fresh with Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) dumps him -- and Monica (Courteney Cox) gives him a sort of present. As for Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc), weren't they supposed to buy a kitchen table instead of what they ended up bringing home? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1994
Ross (David Schwimmer) feels left out of his ex-wife Carol's baby-making process in more ways than one. Monica (Courteney Cox) tries to impress her parents with the world's cleanest apartment. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) learns the fate of Barry (Mitchell Whitfield), whom she left in the lurch at the altar (and who doesn't seem too distressed over the humiliation). And Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) reveals that she has a twin sister, a "high-powered, driven, career type" (thereby "explaining" Kudrow's recurring role as Ursula the waitress on Mad About You). Watch for the first appearance of Gunther (James Michael Tyler) at the Central Perk. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1994
Any rules about certain sensitive, hot-button topics being off-limits for sitcom fodder went out the window after this classic episode. When Kramer and Poppie team up to finally make Kramer's make-your-own-pizza idea a reality, tensions rise as the two debate at which point a pizza becomes a pizza. Meanwhile, George tracks down a copy of the film adaptation for the book he was supposed to read for his book club, and Elaine begins dating the delivery man who brought Jerry his new couch. Jessica Hecht, who played Carol's lover Susan on Friends, guest stars along with Reni Santoni and Patton Oswalt. Originally airing October 27, 1994, "The Couch" was the fifth episode of the show's sixth season. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

And Joey's (Matt LeBlanc) latest modeling job leads to embarrassing implications. With this episode, Jane Sibbett takes over from Anita Barone in the role of Ross' ex-wife, Carol. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
