: Pete buys a restaurant and offers Monica the position of head chef. Monica is initially hesitant because she isn't attracted to him and suspects his motives. After a series of interactions—and a nudge from Phoebe, who sees through Pete's attempts to win her over—Monica accepts the job. However, a passionate kiss with Pete changes her perspective, and they officially begin a romantic relationship. Production & Cast Director : Michael Lembeck Writers : Seth Kurland

: After watching a news report about people giving live chicks as Easter gifts, Joey buys a baby chick. However, caring for it causes him and Chandler to argue like a married couple.
