Friends: Season 10 on AllMovie

With the official announcement that the tenth season of Friends would be its last, the series' fans loyally rallied around each episode, ensuring that the program would go out in a blaze of ratings glory. There was also little doubt that the many romantic intrigues that had evolved during previous seasons would finally be resolved -- happily or otherwise. Season ten begins with Ross (David Schwimmer), the father of Rachel's child, being upset over the burgeoning relationship between Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) -- who, truth to tell, also feel awkward and uncomfortable about the situation. Meanwhile, Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry), having learned that they cannot have children, find a mother-to-be named Erica (Anna Faris) from whom to adopt a child; they also decide to move out of Manhattan and into a "real" home in Westchester. As for the eternally unlucky-in-love Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), she is on the brink of a happily-ever-after denouement with her marriage to a nice fellow named Mike (Paul Rudd). The series' now-famous climactic episodes find Rachel deciding to give up both Joey and Ross by moving to Paris, and Joey preparing to go to L.A. in pursuit of movie work (thereby establishing the premise of Matt LeBlanc's new spin-off series, Joey); and Erica gives birth to twins, named Erica (after herself) and Jack (after Chandler's dad). As the last scene of the last episode approaches its final fadeout, it looks as though Ross will be left all alone...but there's still one more surprise in store.
