There are a lot of weird things going on in this episode.īetween Rachel and Phoebe exploiting Emma in a baby beauty pageant, Chandler denying himself and the guys a premium Rangers game ticket, and Monica and Chandler locking everyone out, this episode is essentially revolved around the friends being in a quarrel over something as trivial as being a bit late to a Thanksgiving dinner- that Monica didn’t even want to prepare in the first place. “The One with the Late Thanksgiving” (Season 10) The effects of Monica’s concoction of the synthetic “mockolate” created for Thanksgiving on Rachel and Phoebe is definitely comical, but fails at fully rendering that collective holiday spirit the gang presents in other Thanksgiving episodes. Not only does this episode provide an unnecessary addition to this plotline, but the Thanksgiving-related aspect of this episode is minimal.
In an easily expected plot twist, Rachel finds the list and becomes very upset Ross tries incessantly to apologize. Ross creates a list of Rachel’s faults so that he can make a decision between her and Julia - only to discover Julia’s one fault is that “she’s not Rachel.” The Thanksgiving facet of the episode revolves around Rachel’s excitement about her pretty-boy assistant, Tag, showing up to the crew’s Thanksgiving dinner, where by the very end of the episode they kiss.Ī very significant ending for a very unfaltering relationship.Īside from the fact that this is the only season not to feature a dedicated Thanksgiving episode, this feels like a forced addition to the Ross-Rachel plotline.
Monica and Phoebe move the dog to Ross’s place, but then sneak it back in. Phoebe secretly shelters a dog in her room, and everyone thinks Chandler is allergic to dogs when really he’s only feared them. True to the title, the episode centers almost solely around Chandler’s dislike of dogs. This line from Joey summarizes this Season 7 episode in the grand scheme of “Friends” Thanksgiving episodes, this one matters minimally. “This is all a moo point… it’s like a cow’s opinion, you know, it doesn’t really matter.
