---Critique:
Another good one. The jokes were pretty on-target and in character: The gang pointing out how well Joey was taking his good-bye to Rachel, followed by his actual reaction, were great, and Phoebe’s reaction to the bondage cuffs was flat-out hilarious.
---Can’t say the ending was really original or surprising, though, but it was nice to see another episode that feels like it was from a previous season. Kudos to the writers.

Once again, because of the needs of the plot, wherein Rachel wants to say good-bye to each friend individually, the going away “party” for her is devoid of any friends other than the five other castmates, despite abundance of friends in past episodes with parties.

Does anyone else find Monica’s casual reaction to seeing photographs of her mother using bondage handcuffs believable?

Erica comes home from a movie and dinner date with her cousin, and supposedly mistakes the labor contractions she experiences as stomachaches that occur every few minutes, but wouldn’t her water have broken, alerting her to what was happening? And wouldn’t her cousin have noticed the contractions?

Where? It's on now on TBS, and when I hit the "Info" button on my remote, it gives the title as the one at the top of this board.
