Friends – Season 3 – Summary

Season 3 features a substantially more serialized structure. Chandler and Janice date for a few episodes before Joey discovers Janice kissing her soon-to-be ex-husband. Chandler, not wanting to damage her family, encourages Janice to return to her husband, but then becomes despondent for several episodes after the split.

Rachel leaves her job at Central Perk and starts working at Bloomingdale’s, an upmarket department store brand. Ross quickly grows envious of her coworker Mark and upset by Rachel’s extended working hours. She is fed up with his incessant jealously and insecurity, and she decides they need to split up.

Ross, heartbroken and slightly inebriated, quickly sleeps with Chloe, “the hot girl from the Xerox place,” prompting Rachel to end their relationship. Although Phoebe originally believes she has no family other than her twin sister Ursula (Lisa Kudrow), she later discovers she has a half-brother, Frank Jr. (Giovanni Ribisi), and her biological mother, Phoebe Abbott (Teri Garr), during the season.

Joey falls in love with his playing partner Kate (Dina Meyer), but is envious because she is dating the director of their production. They have a brief romance, which ends when she accepts an acting position in Los Angeles.

Monica dates rich Pete Becker (Jon Favreau), despite her initial lack of attraction to him. However, she ends her relationship with Pete after he sustains major injuries while attempting to become the Ultimate Fighting Champion and refuses to give up.

Phoebe arranges a date for Ross with her friend, Bonnie (Christine Taylor), provoking Rachel’s jealousy. She attempts to sabotage the relationship by coercing Bonnie into shaving her head bald, and finally reveals to Ross that she still has emotions for him. The season concludes with Ross forced to choose between Rachel and Bonnie.
