The story so far
Everything you need before watchingA reunion catwalk restages the show's most famous looks, then the special cuts to the finale. The creators wanted every character to land in a good place: babies for Monica and Chandler, a life for Phoebe, and Ross and Rachel together — but on a journey that still felt unexpected. The plane scene is the payoff. When the last night ended, one creator looked at Marta and went to pieces.
