The One With The Red Sweater

Ranked #191 out of 236 episodes in Friends

Speculation regarding the father of Rachel's baby leads to a misunderstanding when Joey discovers a red sweater left behind in a one-night stand Rachel had. Meanwhile, Chandler and Ross search for the disposable cameras left behind at the wedding and Monica goes on a present-opening binge.

Mid-tier episode relies on character consistency rather than fresh material or timing surprises.
