Ross brings his leftover thanksgiving sandwich to work, but someone eats it. He finds out that it was his boss, who puts him on sabbatical and sends him to a psychiatrist for anger management therapy.

Monica takes the class instead of Rachel, but she tries to make the class more challenging and no one likes her.
