After discovering that he is involved in a polygamous relationship, feeling frustrated and alone, Fry sneaks aboard Zapp Brannigan’s ship as it embarks on a second mission toward the space anomaly, this time with the purpose of destroying it.

Bender’s Game

Synopsis

After finding Cubert and Dwight playing Dungeons and Dragons, Bender decides he wants to join in. As a robot, Bender is ridiculed for having no imagination, but with a little effort he eventually imagines himself as a medieval knight by the name of Titanius Anglesmith. Getting a little carried away, Bender embarks on a bizarre rampage across the city, resulting in his incarceration in a robot insane asylum.

Meanwhile Professor Farnsworth reveals that many years ago he created a special energy crystal, which links all dark matter throughout the universe. It appears it is this crystal which was being used as the die in the Dungeons and Dragons game. When Bender is subjected to a robotomy to remove his troublesome imagination, the process causes a resonance between all dark matter, catapulting all the characters into Cornwood, a magical kingdom inside Bender’s mind.
