Chandler tells everyone that he is going to work in Christimas. Everybody stays sad,specially Monica. Chandler is the only Friend who doesn't like his job , and also the only one who sacrifices himself for something he doesn't love.

In Tulsa, all Chandler's workmates are angry to work instead of staying with their families. Chandler feels guilty to see them losing their good moments with their families and tells everybody to go home. He stays alone with Wendy, a very beautiful woman who almost won a beauty contest in Oaklahoma. Monica stays jealous of the situation, and she does have a reason to stay that way, when Wendy hits on Chandler.

Wendy makes Chandler think about the fact that if he loves his wife, he should be with her. He ends up going to New York and telling all the Friends that he resigned from his job, and that now he will search something he really loves to do.
