Meanwhile, Ross envies Monica's spray-on tan but when he steps into the booth, he emerges as a two-toned disaster. 10.04 TOW The Cake On Emma's first birthday, Rachel convinces Monica and Chandler to delay their long-anticipated trip to Vermont to stay for the party but complications ensue when the infant falls asleep and a X-rated birthday cake arrives.

In addition, Joey is offended when Chandler lies about viewing his bizarre audition tape reel. 10.07 TOW The Home Study Monica and Chandler fuss over their apartment as they expect a visit from the adoption worker (guest star Maria Pitrillo) who will decide if they make suitable parents -- unfortunately, she horrifies the uptight couple when she confesses that she was once romanced by a cad named Joey in the same building who never returned her calls.

Elsewhere, Ross uses baby Emma to confront Rachel's irrational fear of swingsets. 10.08 TOW The Late Thanksgiving Monica out does herself preparing a Thanksgiving feast for the gang, but is furious when all shows up late to the gathering.
