"The One Where Rachel is Late" is the twenty-second episode of the eighth season of Friends.
[edit] Plot
Rachel is due to give birth, but unfortunately, it appears that her baby is late. She goes from claiming that she is really going to miss being pregnant, to getting more and more frustrated, taking it out on her friends.
Whilst at the doctor's, Ross and Rachel ask if there's any way that they can induce labor. The doctor recommends spicy foods, long walks, special teas... and sex.
Monica and Phoebe start to take bets on when the baby is going to be born. Monica loses the first time, and bets double or nothing. When Rachel informs her that the doctor recommended sex as a way to induce labor, Monica is all for it, even offering up Chandler. Ross is shocked to discover that Phoebe and Monica have been betting on Rachel's condition, but Rachel decides she wants a piece of the action.
Rachel continually tries to persuade Ross to have sex with her, after the other methods have failed, even describing herself as a ketchup bottle that "you have to bang on the end to get something to come out". He refuses, until she continually insults him, when he kisses her to "get that thing out". Her waters break mid-kiss. As they are leaving to go to the hospital, they share another kiss.
Joey only gets two tickets to the premiere of his movie, and he invites Chandler to go with him, claiming it's his way of paying Chandler back for all his support (financial and emotional) over the years. Chandler, however, falls asleep in the middle of the movie. Joey then says that he'll pay Chandler back the entire sum of money, but finds out it's a lot more than he anticipated.
