Friends: Every Season Finale Ranked Worst To Best
7. The One Where Rachel Has A Baby (Season Eight)
Another Ross and Rachel-heavy season finale, season eight's The One Where Rachel Has A Baby featured a ton of marquee moments for the series.
Aside from Rachel giving birth to Emma, Monica and Chandler decided to try for their own children in the hospital, Ross planned to propose to Rachel after being given a ring by his mother Judy, and Phoebe met a guy with a broken leg, still trying to overcome her feelings for Mike.
The cliffhanger ending here saw Joey inadvertently propose to Rachel after finding Ross' engagement ring, with Rachel agreeing to marry Joey. It foreshadowed the finale of season nine, and though the moment was overall sweet, it wasn't needed; it merely served as yet another twist in the rocky history between Ross and Rachel.
Benefitting from a slew of guest stars, the finale is also remembered fondly for arguably Janice's greatest Friends appearance. She, alongside husband Sid, entered the same hospital room as Ross and Rachel, with Janice also preparing to give birth. Cue some tedious contraction noises and her goading Chandler into believing the child was his, Janice was a hoot in her scenes throughout the two-parter.
It's a shocking episode, and leaves you begging to see how the next season begins.
