Chandler must spend Christmas in Tulsa, which Monica thinks he might have an affair with a former Miss Oklahoma runner-up while he is there. Chandler comes home early to announce that he quit his job.

Everybody is sad, most of all Monica as Chandler must spend Christmas and New Years in Tulsa, where his staff is all depressed they can't be with their families. He arranged for head office to send a bonus, but even that's another bummer: donations in their name to the New York ballet. After reminiscing about Christmases spent with the Friends, he sends everyone home anyway. Only the second in the hierarchy, Wendy, stays. Monica gets jealous when she calls Chandler, and also starts reminiscing about romance with Chandler, who ends up making a snap decision of surprising magnitude...—KGF Vissers

Chandler must spend Christmas in Tulsa to finish work that needs to be completed before Christmas Day, and he knows he will be fired if he refuses to obey and do it. Chandler feels everyone hates their jobs, but the rest of his friends, including Monica, disagree with him. He will therefore not be able to spend Christmas in New York with Monica and the others, which makes all six of them, particularly Chandler and Monica, unhappy.

In Tulsa, Chandler's team asks him how he usually spends his Christmas. He remembers Phoebe's Christmas song that she wrote for her friends. When Phoebe and Rachel search for the gifts that Monica brought for them, and they convince Chandler to help them look for it. When Chandler and Joey get Christmas gifts for everyone from a convenience store on the side of a gas station. When Ross dressed up as the Holiday Armadillo to teach Ben about Hanukkah.

Chandler feels empathy for the employees underneath him, who are depressed because they can't spend Christmas with their families, and sends them all home. However, the regional vice president of the Oklahoma branch of the company, Wendy (Selma Blair), who is mentioned to also be a former Miss Oklahoma runner-up stays behind to help him, at which point, Monica and the others call him to wish him a Merry Christmas.

When he makes the mistake of mentioning Wendy, and that she has stayed behind to help him after he sent all his other employees home, Monica gets suspicious and grills him, leading to him accidentally making it obvious to them that does find Wendy attractive, but he promises Monica that there is nothing for her to worry about. When he hangs up the phone however, Wendy then hits on him. He politely rejects her, saying he's a happily married man and nothing can happen between them because what he has with his wife is great, but then she responds by asking him why he's spending Christmas with her instead of with his wife if what he has with his wife is so great.

Chandler remembers how he hooked up with Monica in London. When Monica and Chandler had a fight in the hospital when a male nurse made a pass at her. When Monica and Chandler were in Vegas and decided to get married. When Monica insisted that Chandler spend all of his money on the wedding and Chandler put his foot down. Monica realizing that she wanted a marriage and not a wedding.

Meanwhile, back at the apartment, the other five friends gaze out of the window as they see that it is snowing (and they have already opened all the gifts), but Monica is too busy worrying that Chandler is having sex with Wendy to think about anything else. But then Chandler proves her wrong by walking through the door at that very moment, much to everyone's delight. And he assures them that he can't be fired after all for spending Christmas with them... because he has resigned. He decides to figure out what he really wants to do in life.
