Joey has sentenced Chandler to 5 yrs punishment. Joey finds Chandler kissing Kathy. He decides to leave the apartment and live with his folks till he finds a new apartment. Chandler begs Joey to punish him, but stay During Thanksgiving dinner, Joey punishes Chandler for kissing Kathy in the previous episode by sentencing him to a "time out" inside a crate for the same duration as when Joey was stuck in the entertainment unit earlier this season. Joey is angry with Chandler since he keeps cracking jokes and is not taking the punishment seriously. Joey wants Chandler not to speak for the rest of his time inside the box. Joey finally relents when he witnesses Kathy breaking up with Chandler (she says she doesn't want to come between 2 best friends and she is leaving to be with her mom in Chicago for a few months), who is still inside the crate and resists responding (due to his promise to Joey) in spite of the situation. Joey ultimately gives Chandler and Kathy his approval (he lets Chandler out of the box and hugs him) and prompts the former to chase after the latter. Chandler catches up with Kathy and they both share a passionate kiss right on the street.
Since Monica and Phoebe have no money, they propose that they do a secret Santa, so that everyone just has to buy one gift.. Plus there is the added mystery of who gets whom.. Chandler wants to trade Phoebe to get Rachel as his secret Santa, since he already got her a briefcase with RG initials on it.. Phoebe tells Chandler that she exchanges every gift she gets. Ross speaks to Chandler and learns this. For the rest of the evening Ross keeps pointing out to Rachel that she doesn't care about other people's feelings when she exchanges their gifts. Ross is shocked to learn that Rachel exchanges every gift she is given, but she shows Ross that she keeps things that matter (Movie stub from the first date, egg shell from the first time Ross made her breakfast, a museum piece from the first time they had sex).
Monica becomes infatuated with Richard's son, Timothy (Michael Vartan), who is also an eye doctor, when she has an appointment with him after accidentally getting some ice into her eye (she was chipping ice in her freezer while prepping the thanksgiving dinner in her apartment). Monica didn't want to see Richard and was happy to know that he is out of town. Timothy is the on call doctor. Monica and Timothy later kiss (Monica had invited Timothy over for thanksgiving dinner since he had nowhere else to go), though the former reveals that the kiss reminds her of Richard and both get disgusted soon afterwards. The gang judges Monica, but she retorts "Married a lesbian, left a man at the altar, Threw a girl's wooden leg in the fire, married a gay ice dancer, live in a box"..
