After finding out that Sandy plays the recorder, can bake and does puppet shows, Ross fires him. Sandy does not take it badly, and instead comforts Ross about his childhood which involved bad memories of his father Jack.

Chandler, while in Tulsa, freaks out when Monica tells him that a man in her restaurant called Jeffrey is the funniest man she has ever met. Shocked, he returns to Manhattan and desperately tries to make Monica laugh but to no avail. After confiding in Joey about this, Chandler did not expect that Joey would go and tell Monica and Ross. The three try to make him feel better and Monica even lies by saying that Jeffrey made a really sexist joke when, in fact, Jeffrey made everybody laugh really hard.

Meanwhile, Phoebe and Mike exchange keys, advancing their relationship further. Phoebe's ex-boyfriend David (Hank Azaria) returns to New York for a meeting and comes to her house. A talk between the two of them enters into a romantic area when Phoebe hesitates to say that she is currently in a relationship.
