- Ross breaks a girl's leg who was selling cookies in order to win a place at the space camp. Ross feels guilty and tries to sell 400 boxes of the cookies so the girl can win the competition. Rachel sucks at waitressing and Gunther is showing her everything again but she doesn't want to be trained in a job she hates. Rachel then quits her job at Central Perk. Phoebe is heart-broken to see all the trees "killed" to be Christmas trees. Rachel gets a new job.—Anonymous
- When Gunther tells Rachel that she has to undergo retraining despite having worked at the coffee shop for two and a half years, she becomes really fed up and ultimately quits upon heeding Chandler's and Joey's advice (on needing the fear from being unemployed) in order to pursue her passion in fashion. Chandler says he himself is too afraid to quit and hence is stuck at the job that he really hates. Both men then lend out a helping hand in her job search - Chandler helps her in preparing her resumes (Rachel was close to panicking as she didn't even have a lead at the last day of her job.. She was considering going back to Gunther and asking for her job back), while Joey gets her a job lead at Fortunata Fashions (FF) with the help of his father. She eventually gets hired at FF, but her happiness is short-lived when she finds out the job still requires her to prepare and get coffee for other people in the office.
Phoebe is against Joey selling Christmas trees as she thinks trees are cut down in their prime and their dead carcasses sold off for someone's temporary entertainment. Joey argues that those trees were born to be Christmas trees and are fulfilling their life purpose by making people happy. Chandler says that for the trees its their only chance to see new York.. Phoebe helps Joey with selling Christmas trees, but becomes disconcerted after learning that the old and/or unused trees get thrown into a chipper. Phoebe tries to sell the old trees to Joey's customers, driving them away. He is working on commission and is really not happy about it. Monica and the latter then decide to buy all those trees in order to appease the former.
Ross accidentally breaks a little girl's leg (he was practicing his tennis swing when a brown bird sneaked up behind him and caught the swing), and then attempts to make it up to her by helping her sell Brown Bird cookies in order to help her win a trip to Space Camp (the girl who sells the most cookies gets to go.. The girl who went last yr sold 475.. So far, she has sold 75.. Her dad is a gambler). Ross starts by selling cookies to the gang.. He entices Monica to start eating cookies again (she was an addict and started gaining weight after she joined the brown birds.. Jack had to buy all of her boxes because she ate them all). Meanwhile, Monica becomes addicted to the "Mint Treasures" cookies all over again after buying one box from Ross. Later, Ross has to cut her off, as she has gotten addicted all over again.. Ross has sold 517 boxes.. He went to all the dorms in NYU and stuck around at night to sell boxes by the carton.. He was called the "cookie dude".. When he doesn't win the trip in the end (Ross ends up buying more than 350 boxes at the last minute as one girl sold 871 boxes) (Ross still lost as a girl loaned her uniform to her 19 yr old sister, who went to the USS Nimitz and sold 2000 boxes), he decides to give the girl an unprecedented private Space Camp experience with the help of Chandler and Joey.
