Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) plans for her elaborate birthday dinner hit a snag at the get-go when Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry), who have been forcibly separated in most of the previous episodes, have a major squabble over his newly revived smoking habit. Meanwhile, Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) accidentally place an impenetrable locked door between themselves and baby Emma. The only one who arrives at Central Park in time for Pheeb's birthday bash is Joey (Matt LeBlanc) -- and his patience is dangerously close to running out at any time.
