Although it's almost Christmas,
not everyone is in a really festive mood, and Rachel, Ross and Monica, in
particular, face some tough times ahead of the holidays.
Following her highly negative
review which earned her the head-chef job at Alessandro's,
Monica is being tormented by her colleagues. Even if no amount of burned chef jackets and "Quit Bitch"-signed hats is enough to make Monica quit, the attitude she receives from fellow chefs and waiters almost pushes her off the edge. She takes Chandler's advice and hires Joey as a waiter for the sole purpose of firing him in front of the others, but when Joey finds himself with a handful of tips he forgets the deal he and Monica have. Only when he truly sees the degree of bullying and ridicule Monica is being forced to endure (which almost makes her resign) that he sticks to his part and plays the arrogant employee. Monica quickly takes advantage of this and fires Joey in front of everyone, which Joey seems to take a little harder than he expected. This is enough for Monica to acquire control over her colleagues.

Rachel hates to be single around
the festive season, and is more willing than usual to have a fling with someone
rather than something serious. Chandler knows of a couple of guys at work who
might do the trick for her, which he uses in his favor to obtain free stuff
from them. After picking her preferred guy, Patrick, Rachel starts to believe
in something more than a fling between her and him, but when she learns that
Chandler told Patrick how all she wants is a fling, she's furious with him.
Chandler tries to rectify his mistake, but telling Patrick that Rachel might be
interested in a serious relationship with him is another mistake which leads to
Rachel being dumped before Christmas. Angry that she's all alone again,
Chandler consoles her how he never lied once about her to his colleagues, which
makes Rachel appreciate her friendships more.
Ross meets an amazing girl from
Poughkeepsie on the train, whom he finds really beautiful, smart and funny. All
that is keeping him from this girl is the considerable distance between him and
her. Things are different with another girl from uptown - she's really close
and easy to reach, but is not smart, not funny and somewhat racist. Managing
time between the two girls is too much for him, and he ends up exhausted from
dating both of them. He breaks up with the girl from uptown, and doesn't even
manage to talk to the girl from Poughkeepsie as he falls asleep on the train.
He only wakes up in Montreal, next to a beautiful blonde woman who asks him out
for coffee. Just as things might head in a new, exciting direction, he learns
that the woman is from Nova Scotia.
Phoebe finds it hard to write a
special holiday song about all of her friends because of the lack of good
rhyming words, but it only takes some of her more fertile imagination to solve
the problem. She sings the song at the end of the episode.
Phương pháp học tiếng anh qua phim hiệu quả:
– Lần 1: Xem KHÔNG phụ đề. Đến đoạn nào quá khó hiểu, không thể hiểu bạn nên tua lại xem. Nếu vẫn không hiểu hãy dừng hình và để ý hình ảnh và thử đoán.
– Lần 2: Xem với phụ đề và ghi chú lại những từ/cụm từ/cấu trúc bạn cho là hay. HAY ở đây là gì? Đó là những cách dùng mà bạn không tưởng, đó là văn nói, khác hẳn văn viết mà bạn thường gặp. Có một cuốn từ điển bên cạnh và một quyển sổ sẽ là công cụ tốt giúp bạn hiểu và ghi nhớ.
– Lần 3: Xem lại với không phụ đề. Không nhất thiết là ngay lúc đó, vì có thể bạn thấy hơi nản khi ngồi xem quá nhiều lần. Hãy để nó sau 2-3 ngày xem lại và xem những gì mình đã học còn được bao nhiêu.
