The gang is relaxing after Thanksgiving dinner. Ross's bitching about his second divorce prompts the gang to reminisce about past bad Thanksgivings. In 1978, Chandler learns that his father has been sleeping with the Bing's pool boy. In 1862, Phoebe experiences war (past-life). In 1992, Joey gets Monica's turkey stuck on his head. In 1987, a fat Monica meets Chandler (complete with flock-of-seagulls hair) for the first time and he accidentally insults her. The next year, in 1988, a much slimmer Monica plans to get back at Chandler but accidentally drops a knife on his toe, severing it. Back in present day, when Chandler gets mad about the reasons behind the knife incident, Monica puts a turkey on her head to get him happy and he unintentionally says "I love you" to her.
