The One With The Thumb. This is a great episode where Phoebe finds a thumb in her soda and gets upset for receiving large amounts of money that aren’t technically hers. Also, Monica finds a boyfriend but the rest of the gang ends up liking him more than she does, and Chandler starts smoking again.
A life lesson that can be taken from this episode is: always try to be as honest as Phoebe. Since she tries to return the $500 the bank accidentally credited her with, they give her another $500 and a football phone. Not wanting either of these because of her innocence, she gives them to a homeless lady, Lizzy, who then proceeds to thank Phoebe by buying her a soda. Here Phoebe finds the thumb in her soda and gets $7,000 from the soda company. At this point she doesn’t know what to do anymore, and tells Chandler that if he stops smoking she’ll give him $7,000. Money is something people always wants to have, including Phoebe, but since the money that she finds herself in possession of isn’t rightfully hers, she doesn’t want to have anything to do with it. She is such a sincere person and honestly sets quite the example for others.
