The fifth season of Friends aired from September 24, 1998 to May 20, 1999 on NBC in the US.
Following Ross saying Rachel's name during their wedding, a seething Emily allows the ceremony to continue but then punches Ross in the stomach and flees. Monica and Chandler spend the entire reception trying to find a place to sleep together, but Rachel's desire to tell Ross about her feelings, Ross' search for Emily, and Emily's drunken father prevent them from doing so.
Ross hopes Emily will turn up at the airport the next day to join him for their honeymoon to Greece. He runs into Rachel, who is waiting for a flight home, during the last boarding call and invites her along since it seems Emily won't be arriving. However, Emily does show up at exactly the wrong moment, just as Ross is boarding the plane with Rachel. She runs off, and Ross chases her, leaving Rachel alone on the flight. Once Rachel returns from Greece, she finally tells Ross of her continued feelings for him. They both find it crazy when they realize that Rachel is in love with a married man whose wife won't return his calls.
Ross continues calling everyone in Emily's family to try to find her and sends them packages of flowers and giant stuffed animals. Annoyed by Ross' repeated, failed attempts to win her over, Emily finally contacts Ross to tell him to stop harassing her and her family. She eventually agrees to giving their marriage a chance, but only if he moves to England. When he refuses on account of Ben, she agrees to move to the US but on the condition that he must move into a new apartment and cut Rachel out of his life. Ross reluctantly agrees and moves out of his apartment and into the one he'll be sharing with Emily which is sublet from her cousin. However Ross finds he can't stop being friends with Rachel and tells Emily this. Emily's inability to trust Ross results in her deciding to end their marriage. Emily's cousin then kicks him out of his new apartment, leaving him homeless although Chandler and Joey agree to let him stay while he finds somewhere else to live. Sometime later, Emily leaves a message on Ross' answering machine and wonders if the divorce was a mistake - even though she is set to marry another man. Rachel accidentally deletes the message, but still tells Ross about it. Ross decides against calling Emily, not wanting to reunite with his paranoid and controlling ex-wife.
Rachel begins dating a man who lives in the apartment building, Danny, but stops seeing him after she realizes he has an inappropriate sexual relationship with his sister. Ross begins to suffer anger management problems following his divorce and homelessness, and eventually is forced to take a hiatus at work after screaming at his boss for eating his "moistmaker" sandwich. Eventually, he moves into Ugly Naked Guy's now-vacant apartment across the street from Monica's.
After sleeping with each other while in London, Monica and Chandler decide to establish a secret relationship. Joey is the first to find out about Monica and Chandler's relationship early in the season after they take a secret vacation together. Rachel finds out mid-season, when she ends up eavesdropping on a phone call, and Phoebe is the second to last person to find out about the relationship when she sees them through the window of Ross' new apartment. Joey, Rachel and Phoebe confront Monica and Chandler about their deception by playing a trick on them, and Chandler and Monica finally admit that they have fallen in love with each other. Ross also finds out about Monica and Chandler's relationship after seeing them through the window of his new apartment. After realizing that Monica and Chandler are actually in love, he is happy for them.
Joey receives a role in a movie filming in Las Vegas. Chandler is going to drive to Nevada with him, but before they leave New York, Chandler accidentally reveals that he doesn't think the movie is Joey's big break and Joey kicks him out of the car. When he arrives in Las Vegas, he finds out the movie has run out of funding and been put on hold indefinitely. He gets a job as a gladiator character at a hotel and casino. The rest of the friends discover this when they plan a trip to Las Vegas to visit. During this trip, Chandler and Monica begin to wonder if they are seeing signs that are telling them that they should get married. However, when they get to the chapel, Ross and Rachel run out, having just drunkenly gotten married.
