Everyone is sick of Fry living at Planet Express, so he is forced to move out to become Bender’s roommate. The only catch is that Bender’s apartment is too small for the two. After some searching they find a great apartment. A problem arises when Bender’s antenna interferes with the TV reception as they try to watch “All My Circuits.” Bender decides to cut off his antenna so that he can live with Fry again. However, he doesn’t feel right without it, so he decides to leave and go back to his old apartment where he feels lonely. Leela tries to convince Fry to go back to the “small” apartment.
wikipedia.org summary:
Fry lives in the Planet Express building until he is kicked out for his messiness. He initially moves in with Bender, but his new apartment is little more than a cramped closet, so they both move into a more spacious and furnished apartment. During the housewarming party, it is discovered that Bender’s antenna interferes with the entire building’s satellite TV reception, and Bender is evicted while Fry stays with little regard for his friend’s troubles. Depressed, Bender goes on a self-destructive sobriety binge until he cuts off his antenna in the hopes of moving back with Fry. Realizing that Bender’s antenna is vital to his self-esteem, Fry helps Bender reattach it and moves back into Bender’s old apartment. It is then revealed that Bender’s apartment has a “closet” that is the size of a complete living suite with more than enough room for Fry, so Fry decides to move there instead.
imdb.com summary:
The Planet Express crew goes on a mission to rescue animals on Vergon 6, a planet that was mined hollow of the dark matter that filled it for fuel, and is on the verge of collapse. On the way, they meet Zapp Brannigan, who Leela is at first flattered to meet until he refuses to help them save the animals of Vergon 6 as per the law and imprisons them instead. That night, Zapp tries to seduce Leela, succeeding in getting her to sympathize with his loneliness as a captain, and she has sex with him out of pity. The next day, Zapp decides to release the crew and allows them to travel to Vergon 6, believing Leela will come crawling back to him. While collecting the animals, Leela discovers another creature not on their list and decides to save it as well, naming it Nibbler, who subsequently devours all the other animals they saved. The planet begins to collapse and the crew finds their ship is out of fuel. Leela refuses to accept Zapp’s help when he tells them Nibbler must remain behind, and the crew resigns to their fate until Nibbler excretes a pellet of dark matter, which gives them enough fuel to escape before the planet implodes.
