TEXT: [Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica and Phoebe are preparing for Rachel's baby shower.] Rachel: (entering) Hi! Monica: Hey! Phoebe: Hey! Rachel: So what's the final head count on my baby shower? Phoebe: About twenty, a couple people from work who had something else to do. Monica: Also both of your sisters called and neither can make it. Rachel: What?! You mean they're not coming to a social event where there's no men and there's no booze?! That's shocking! I don't care, as long as my mom's here. Monica: Oh my God, your mother! Rachel: What?! My mom's not gonna be here?! Monica: Well, given that we forgot to invite her it would be an awfully big coincidence if she was. Rachel: My God! Monica: Well it wasn't my fault, Phoebe was in charge of the invitations! Phoebe: Well I don't, I don't have a mother so often I forget that other people... Monica: (interrupting her) Oh give it a rest! Rachel: So my mother is not coming to my baby shower?! Phoebe: No. (Pause) Neither is mine. Monica: Okay, y'know what? Don't worry, okay? We'll take care of it. We'll call her. Just go home and get ready. Rachel: Please, make sure she comes. It's really important to me, I mean it's my mom! Phoebe: I know. I know, what's her number? Rachel: I don't know. Monica: Go! I have it in my book. Go! (Rachel leaves and Monica calls Mrs. Green.) (To Phoebe) Wait a minute! If you're in charge of the invitations why am I the one who has to call her-Hello Mrs. Green! Hi, it's Monica Geller. Mrs. Green: Oh, hello Monica. Monica: (on phone) Hi, umm I know this is last minute, but we've decided to throw an impromptu baby shower for Rachel today
SUMMARY:
Phoebe and Monica prepare for Rachel's baby shower and forget to invite Rachel's mother. During the shower, Monica tries desperately to seek forgiveness from Sandra, but to no avail. Rachel realizes she has no idea how to look after the baby after the birth, so her mother insists on staying with her for eight weeks, much to her and Ross' annoyance. Ross eventually gives Rachel the confidence to be a mom and Monica lets Sandra know she's furious at her spitefulness. Joey auditions for a job as a host for a new game show called Bamboozled that makes absolutely no sense, and Chandler and Ross help him practice.
