The heart-wrenching season finalein which Monica and Chandler prepare to move with their babies and Rachel gets off the plane to be with Rosswas just as emotional for the actors as it was for fans. LeBlanc told Glamour in August 2012 that the final episode was his favorite of the series “because of the sentimental value.” He added, “That was a rough week. That was really tough knowing that that was coming to an end. The greatest gig ever. That was really rough.”
