Ross is upset with Rachel because she didn't tell him his message to his ex-girlfriend wasn't passed along, causing some serious miscommunication.

However, tensions rise when Ross invites his ex-girlfriend, who he's still in love with, to the party. Chandler tries to keep Ross distracted, but it's clear that he's still hung up on his ex.

As the night progresses, the two parties start to merge, with Rachel showing up at Ross's party and Monica's gang making their way over as well. Chaos ensues as everyone tries to navigate the drama between Ross and Rachel, and Monica continues to pursue Richard's son.

In the end, things start to settle down, and the gang reflects on the craziness of the night. Ross and Rachel have a heart-to-heart talk, and Ross finally has the chance to explain his feelings to her. Meanwhile, Monica's pursuit of Richard's son pays off - sort of.
