[edit] Plot

Chandler and Monica tell everyone they're going to move in together. Rachel is happy because she thinks the three of them will live together. Ross tries to get the annulment because people think he is still in love with Rachel and that's why he doesn't want to get divorced from her. However, he fails because he has to bring Rachel in order to erase the marriage. Monica tells Rachel that she and Chandler want to live together on their own. Monica is surprised that Rachel doesn't seem upset at all. Rachel isn't upset because she doesn't think they're gonna go through with it but Monica tells her it really is gonna happen and Rachel cries her eyes out. Ross is about to tell Rachel about the marriage when he finds out about her having to move out and hugs Rachel to comfort her. However, the smell of her hair ends up in Ross's nose.
