Monica and Rachel fight over who should have had the keys. As they leave Monica shouts to Rachel " Got the keys?" While Monica meant it as a question, Rachel thought it was a statement and, assuming Monica has the keys, leaves them behind.Īfter the excitement on the roof, everyone returns to the apartment and find that they're locked out of the apartment, which has Monica's Thanksgiving dinner and Rachel's plane tickets inside. This puts a hold on the preparations, and everyone rushes to the roof to watch. This includes three types of potatoes: lumpy mashed potatoes, like Ross and Monica's mom Judy makes mashed potatoes with peas and onions, like Phoebe's mom used to make and tater tots, a Tribbiani holiday tradition.Ĭhandler interrupts with news that the Underdog balloon has escaped the Thanksgiving Day parade, hence the episode's title.
Meanwhile, dinner preparations are going great, with Monica preparing everyone personalized versions of their favorite dishes. When Carol reminds him not to do this to be in competition with Susan, he gets over it and starts recounting the story of his life to the fetus. While Monica cooks the meal, Ross decides to spend some "talking time" with his baby but finds it difficult to talk to Carol's uterus.
Phoebe is celebrating two Thanksgivings, one in December with her grandmother's boyfriend, who uses a lunar calendar, and one with Monica on actual Thanksgiving. He instead plans to stay in and eat what Monica calls a "traditional holiday feast": tomato soup, grilled cheese, and a large bag of Funyuns. This leads him to opt to have dinner at Monica's place, believing his family will be scared or him if they see him.Ĭhandler is boycotting "all the pilgrim holidays" because they remind him of the time his parents got divorced.
It becomes more humiliating when posters of him are put up over the city and on the Times Square big screen. Joey wants to spend Thanksgiving with his family, but a poster featuring him as a man with VD makes them, as well as a number of women, think that Joey is actually infected with the sexual disease when he does not. However, her friends all chip in and buy her one. Rachel plans to go to Vail to spend Thanksgiving with her family, but, with her waitress' salary, can't raise the money for the plane tickets. With their parents away, Monica and Ross decide to have Thanksgiving dinner at Monica's apartment.
