Plot

At the end of season eight, Rachel accidentally thinks Joey proposes to her, and says yes. Now Joey tries to tell her the truth, while Ross gets convinced he proposed to Rachel himself. Monica and Chandler continue their attempts to get a baby of their own, and use a utility closet in the hospital, where they are caught by Jack, Monica's father.

In this episode, everyone is at the hospital and is confused over who has proposed to Rachel. Rachel thinks Joey proposed when in fact he didn't. Phoebe sees Rachel with the ring which actually belonged to Ross's grandmother she thinks Ross proposed. She confronts Ross who denies proposing to Rachel, but later thinks he might have. He says "it does look like something I would do", joking about the fact that he's been married and divorced three times. He decides to meet Rachel to put an end to the confusion. Joey comes in and Ross and Joey then end up arguing and poor Rachel realises that no one actually proposed. Joey leaves and Ross tries to see if he can start things up again with Rachel. Then he realises something and asks Rachel, "when you thought Joey proposed, did... you... say yes?" Rachel doesn't know what to answer and the episode ends in a cliffhanger.
