[edit] Plot

Rachel's bosses at Central Perk want her to be re-trained. Seems after almost three years waiting tables, she's still not very good at it. Finally deciding she's tired of being trained to get better at a job she hates (and with suggestions from Chandler and Joey), she puts in her two-week notice. She has trouble finding a job, until Joey mentions that his father is doing plumbing work at a small company called Fortunata Fashions and gets her an interview. She bombs the interview, but gets the job anyway. Thrilled to never have to serve another cup of coffee again, Rachel is dismayed to learn that the first thing they teach her at Fortunata is how to make coffee.

To help pay bills between acting gigs, Joey gets a job selling Christmas trees. This upsets Phoebe, who (almost predictably) feels for the "innocent trees." Joey tries to tell her that the trees were born to be Christmas trees and they're fulfilling their destiny, which almost works - until she finds out that the trees that don't get sold are headed for the woodchipper. She then goes to the tree lot and tries to sell people dead trees. Joey - working on commission and tired of Phoebe's protesting - buys all the nearly-dead trees just for her.

Ross accidentally breaks a little girl's leg - he and Chandler are returning from a racquetball game when Ross demonstrates a swing, knocking the little girl down the stairs. To make it up to the little girl, he starts selling "Brown Bird" cookies for her, because the girl who sells the most boxes gets to go to space camp. Monica's childhood cookie addiction returns, as a result. Ross doesn't win, even after he hit the NYU campus at midnight (earning himself the nickname "Cookie Dude") - one little girl's sister put on the uniform and went to a Naval base. So he turns Joey and Chandler's apartment into Space Camp to fulfill the little girl's wish.
