Monica's nerves are tested when her plans for a quiet Thanksgiving dinner are expanded to include Phoebe, Joey and Rachel. Meanwhile, Joey is proud to be the face of a new health advertising campaign, until he discovers the embrassing condition he's highlighting. When Ross learns Susan is talking to his unborn child, he is determined to do the same despite thinking the idea is stupid.

Quote from Monica

Phoebe: Okay, all done.
Monica: Phoebe, did you whip the potatoes? Ross needs lumps!
Phoebe: Oh, l'm sorry! I just I thought we could have them whipped and then add some peas and onions.
Monica: Why would we do that?
Phoebe: Because then they'd be just like my mom used to make it, before she died.
Monica: Okay. Three kinds of potatoes coming up.
