The One With The Baby On The Bus is the sixth episode in the second season of the popular TV show Friends. This episode revolves around the gang's misadventures when Rachel takes care of a baby that she finds on the bus and they all find themselves stranded in different parts of the city.
The episode begins with Ross trying to impress Rachel by playing the bagpipes outside their apartment. However, Rachel is not impressed and finds the sound of bagpipes annoying. Meanwhile, Joey and Chandler are sitting inside watching "Baywatch" on TV and making fun of the actors.
As Rachel goes out to run an errand, she finds a baby on the bus and brings it back to the apartment. The gang is surprised to see a baby in their apartment, and Rachel decides to take care of it until the mother can be found.
Rachel is initially overwhelmed by the responsibility of taking care of the baby. She struggles to soothe the baby and keep it quiet while she tries to track down the mother. The rest of the gang helps Rachel, taking shifts to watch the baby, and trying to find clues about its identity.
However, when Rachel takes the baby on the bus to try to find the mother, she realizes she doesn't know where to go and gets off at the wrong stop. The bus drives away, leaving Rachel stranded with the baby in her arms.
Meanwhile, Monica and Phoebe are trying to find Rachel and the baby. They drive around the city, asking people if they have seen Rachel or a baby, but to no avail. They eventually run out of gas and are also stranded.
Chandler and Joey, worried about the baby, decide to contact the news and put out an appeal for the mother to come forward. The appeal is successful and the mother is found, but in the process, Chandler accidentally uses the word "kidnapping" on live television, leading to a media frenzy.
In the end, Rachel and the baby are reunited with the mother, and the gang comes together to celebrate the safe return of the baby. The episode ends with Ross apologizing to Rachel for playing the bagpipes outside their apartment.
