5 Episodes You Should Watch Before the Friends Reunion

You all must’ve heard about the Friends Reunion, right? We’re all pretty excited about it, and we thought what better to do than rewatch some of our favorite episodes throughout the ten seasons, and let you all know which ones you must definitely watch to rejoice over the reunion!

Although some rumors say that it would just be the cast and crew getting together, visiting the set, and sharing stories, and not technically an episode, we’re still pretty excited nonetheless! Check out 5 of our favorite Friends episodes below:

1. The One with the Embryos | Season 4, Episode 12

A trivia about Ross between the girls and the guys, Miss Chanandler Bong, and Phoebe finding out she’s pregnant, this episode has it all (yes, even a big group hug at the end). No wonder it’s our favorite! 😍

2. The One Where No One’s Ready | Season 3, Episode 2

In this episode, all of them have to attend an event for Ross, but no matter how much they try, they cannot seem to get ready to go to the event on time. It’s a perfectly hilarious bottle episode.

3. The One Where Everyone Finds Out | Season 5, Episode 14

After months of keeping their relationship a secret, in this episode, the gang finds out about Monica and Chandler’s relationship. Some even say this is the best episode out of all!

4. The One with Unagi | Season 6, Episode 17

This episode shows Chandler struggling to get Monica the perfect Valentine’s Day present and Joey auditioning for a role with his ‘look-alike’ Carl, but the best part is Ross and his ability to sense danger i.e. unagi, and how Phoebe and Rachel ridicule him for it.

(PS. The episode will have you craving salmon skin rolls even if you’ve never had it before).

5. The One with the Blackout | Season 1, Episode 7

In the midst of a Manhattan blackout, Chandler is stuck in an ATM vestibule with model Jill Goodacre, while the others hang out in the girls’ apartment. It even has the iconic scene where Ross tries to confess his feelings for Rachel but gets attacked by a cat instead (who doesn’t secretly love that??). One of the earlier ones from the first season, this episode proved to the fans from the beginning that the series would be a hit.

More about the reunion:

Previously, rumors said that the Friends Reunion would be a new episode, showing the lives of the characters almost 20 years since the show ended. But the reunion is actually the cast getting back together at the original Friends studio on the show’s 25th anniversary.

The trailer shows us the cast testing their trivia about all they know about the show, much like the trivia episode. They revisit the sets, read lines, and sit down for an interview with James Corden in front of a live audience. The trailer shows us a glimpse of the stars’ friendship as well, making us swoon and wonder how fun it must have been to be on the sets with them!

Well, that was quite a rewind. Let us know which ones you love best, and which ones should have made it to this list!

Save the date…

The reunion episode, called The One Where They Get Back Together, airs on HBO Max on Thursday, May 27th. So save the date to meet the cast once again!
