Ep 2. The One Where Ross Is Fine

The One Where Ross Is Fine is the second episode of the tenth and final season of the popular television show Friends. In this episode, Ross tries to prove to everyone that he is "fine" after his divorce from Rachel, even though he is clearly not handling the break-up well.

The episode opens with Joey and Rachel returning from a date, but things are tense between them as they both insist that they are just friends. Meanwhile, Ross is in denial about his feelings for Rachel, insisting that he is perfectly fine with the break-up and that he has moved on. He even goes so far as to invite Rachel and Joey over for a dinner party to prove that he is doing well.

Throughout the episode, Ross becomes increasingly unhinged as he tries to convince Rachel and Joey (and himself) that he is over her. He overcompensates by being overly enthusiastic, trying too hard to be charming and accommodating, and even faking a phone call from a fictional woman named "Kiki" to prove that he has moved on.

Rachel, for her part, is clearly uncomfortable with the situation and feels guilty for hurting Ross. She confides in Phoebe that she still has feelings for Ross, but doesn't know how to deal with them.

Meanwhile, Chandler and Monica face their own challenges as they struggle to get pregnant. Monica becomes obsessed with timing their sex life to maximize their chances of conceiving, while Chandler becomes increasingly self-conscious and anxious about his performance as a husband.

As the episode goes on, Ross's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, leading to some hilarious and awkward moments. At one point, he accidentally spills food all over himself, and tries to play it off as a deliberate attempt at "reverse psychology." At another, he asks Joey and Rachel to leave early, insisting that he has other plans, only to be caught out in a lie.

As the night wears on, Ross's facade begins to crumble, and he finally confesses to Rachel that he still loves her. He is honest about his feelings in a truly heartbreaking moment that shows just how much he has been struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship. Rachel is clearly torn between her feelings for Ross and her loyalty to Joey, and the episode ends on a tense and emotional note.

Overall, The One Where Ross Is Fine is a great episode that showcases the show's talent for blending humor and heartbreak. It explores the aftermath of Ross and Rachel's break-up in a way that is both funny and poignant, while also delving into the challenges faced by Monica and Chandler as they try to start a family. Fans of the show will love this episode, which is sure to leave them laughing, crying, and wanting more.
