The One With The Yeti
pagesjuancho8 January 2018
Joey was great here! Emily's storyline is kind of dumb, but I don't really mind, I guess sitcoms can be very silly from time to time.

Rachel gets interested in Danny, the new neighbor
Lady_Targaryen24 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Joey is the only Friend who knows about Monica and Chandler's relationship, and they both make Joey promise not to tell anyone about them. Joey feels very uncomfortable with the whole situation, but keeps his promise.

Phoebe receives Fur from her mother as a heirloom, what makes her feel bad, since she is against Fur.

Ross is selling all of his apartment stuff, because Emily doesn't want anything that Rachel already touched in his apartment. He also is seeing new places to move. Everybody stays shocked with Ross decision to sell his things and to move, and specially with his decision to not talk to Rachel.

Rachel has a bad first impression of Danny, the new neighbor, when she sees him with a long hair and beard, thinking he looks a Yeti. But when Dani arrives handsome with his new haircut and shaved, she gets really interested in him.

The One With Phoebe's Fur Coat...
taylorkingston17 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I really love this episode. There are so many funny elements to it. It's just great.

In this episode, Phoebe receives a fur coat from her mother, and at first, she refuses to wear it because it's fur, and she is totally against that. But when she sees how good it looks on her, she decides to ignore her beliefs, at least for a little while. Meanwhile, Monica and Rachel go down into the basement to get their waffle iron, and they see what they think is a yeti. They spray him with a bug-bomb and run away. It turns out that it was their neighbor, Danny, who had been on a trek for months in the wilderness, and that's why he had such long hair and such a long beard. Meanwhile, everyone becomes frustrated and annoyed with Emily's demands, which aren't entirely unreasonable, since Ross did say the wrong name at their wedding, but I feel like that's what happens when you marry Ross Gellar. Jeez, I really hate Ross Gellar. He's so obnoxious.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

Emily has serious issues
tday7 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I never understood this storyline. Emily calls a place where RACHEL LIVES to speak to Ross and is angry when she finds out Rachel is there. So she's not supposed to BE at her own home? I always felt the character of Emily was extremely unlikeable. The bottom line is, if your betrothed says someone else's name at your wedding, you walk away. She was weak, no self-confidence, petty, and demanding. I cheered when he dumped her, and BTW, in essence, he dumped her, not the other way around. It was his decision, because she wanted to "always know where he was," and he wouldn't stand for it.

BTW, HOW can there be a SPOILER for this EPISODE? The DESCRIPTION of this episode is "Emily tells Ross she wants a divorce after he decides to keep seeing Rachel." That already IS a spoiler!!

The One with the Yeti
ComedyFan201012 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I have mixed feelings about the fur story. On one hand it is a nice idea for a story and it is great that Phoebe didn't take it at the end because her morality in form of the squirrel won. On the other hand I have trouble believing that Phoebe would have want to wear it. And it feels like an advertisement for fur, "look it feels so good that even someone who cares about the lives of animals will want to wear it!". This is probably not what they intended but it still gave me that feeling. And I don't like to see cruelty to animals being promoted

The Yeti story was not really funny either. I really do consider Rachel to be shallow, but being scared of some hairy/bearded guy in the dark basement can happen to anyone. So I think they kind of missed it here.

I did like the end of Ross and Emily. Unlike most Friends fans I didn't hate her, I can totally understand her. Her relationship with Ross was very short to expect her to fully trust him after all that happened at her wedding and after. This relationship had to die and it was nobody's fault. I liked the way they made the conversation and also added some comic relief with Joey looking at the balcony and showing emotions with the back of the head

Happy Emily is history

I couldn't stand Emily from day one, and I'm glad they got rid of her. Her whiny, controlling personality had to go. I'm glad Ross said Rachel's name at the wedding. LOL.

Another episode bogged down by a weak story
studioAT6 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The main story involving Rachel and the 'yeti' is rubbish, I'll say that first. Sadly the storyline would continue for a few episodes, and further my thought that series 5 of 'Friends' isn't the best.

The rest of the episode is good though, with Joey being on good form.

They made Emily out to be very unlikeable in series 5 (probably to get rid of the character quickly) and at least that storyline gets wrapped up here.

WHY EMILY WAS WRITTEN OUT
littlelulu-6257511 September 2020
Emily's storyline here is kinda dumb, BECAUSE SHE WAS PREGNANT IN REAL LIFE AND HAD TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BACK HER OUT OF THE STORY LINE!!! She would NOT be able to fly Durning her 3rd trimester! They had NO CHOICE!

Relationship Over Friends?
vivianla14 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Monica and Chandler make out heavily and Joey walks in seeing them. Emily wants Ross to stay away from Rachel.

When Rachel and Monica go to the storage room to look for something, a hairy man is there scaring them. Rachel uses a bug bomb.

Phoebe is given a mink coat that is a family heirloom.

When picking up the mail Danny is also there and Rachel doesn't realize it is him. He got a hair cut and shaved. Danny says I guess some people just care about looks. Rachel is offended and follows him to his room. Rachel says they both made wrong assumptions but he doesn't even consider he could be wrong after. Danny asks if she wants pizza with him. He gets his coat.

Rachel says Danny is one smooth talker.
