The title of this episode refers to a "gift" that hardly keeps on giving -- certainly not to Monica (Courteney Cox) -- but let's get to the rest of the story. For one thing, Chandler (Matthew Perry) hopes to turn a wrong number to his advantage when a sexy-sounding woman named Jade (Brittney Powell) tries to reach a guy named Bob. And for another thing, matters of finance pit the "haves" against the "have-nots." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wandering into the terminal after his plane touches down, the solitary Marine (Fran Kranz) quickly realizes that no one is standing there to greet him. The deeper the soldier ventures into the Northwest coast to locate his long-lost father (Whip Hubley), the stronger his connections grow to the people he meets along the way, like the embittered veteran of the first Gulf War, the step-mother he's never met, and the kindly British stewardess (Elize du Toit) he befriended on his flight home. When a body washes ashore on a nearby beach, the lives of everyone involved begin to transform. In time, the soldier realizes that he does have something to return to, and it's beckoning to him from halfway around the world. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
