Complete story — includes the ending

Pete offers Monica the head chef job at a new restaurant he just bought, but she suspects he is using it to woo her. When he insists he is over her and has met someone else, Phoebe correctly surmises he is lying. While Pete and Monica inspect the restaurant, Monica realizes Pete's true motive, then surprisingly discovers she has genuine feelings for him. Joey and Chandler adopt a chick and a duck. When Rachel struggles to get ready for a work event due to a broken rib, Ross tries to assist her, then ultimately skips being on a panel for the Discovery Channel to take her to a hospital when he realizes she is in too much pain to attend the event. This leaves her touched by what he gave up to help her, and she is left feeling positive about him for the first time in a long time.
