Complete story — includes the ending

When Gunther tells Rachel that she has to undergo retraining despite having worked at the coffee shop for two and a half years, she becomes fed up and ultimately quits upon heeding Chandler's and Joey's advice on taking the fear from being unemployed in order to pursue her passion in fashion. Both men then lend out a helping hand in her job search - Chandler helps her in preparing her resumés, while Joey gets her a job lead at Fortunata Fashions with the help of his father. She eventually gets hired at Fortunata Fashions, but her happiness is short-lived when she finds out the job still requires her to do waitressing. Phoebe helps Joey with selling Christmas trees, but becomes disconcerted after learning that the old and unused trees get thrown into a chipper. Monica and Joey then decide to buy all those trees in order to appease Phoebe. Ross accidentally breaks a little girl's leg, and then attempts to make it up to her by helping her sell Brown Bird cookies to people (including Monica who gets addicted to "Mint Treasures" cookies all over again) in order to help her win a trip to space camp. When he does not win the trip in the end, he decides to give the girl an unprecedented private Space Camp experience with the help of Chandler and Joey.
