PlotThe plot follows the Planet Express crew as they become engaged in an ecological struggle. Leela becomes an eco-warrior fighting against the destruction of the solar system’s last surviving miniature star, which a greedy corporation, led by Leo Wong, aims to demolish for a new mini-golf course. Meanwhile, Fry gains new mental abilities after an accident involving a piece of jewelry called the Omega Device, which grants him the power to read minds. The device and Fry’s unique immunities to its control play crucial roles in the greater unfolding narrative.
As Fry deals with his new psychic powers and potential involvement in a covert society known as the Legion of Mad Fellows, Bender grapples with being romantically entangled with a fembot while his love for chaos stirs trouble. The ensemble navigates numerous challenges that test their relationships and moral compasses, as their individual stories intertwine in an overarching battle between environmentalism and corporate greed. Eventually, the escalating stakes and ideological conflicts grow beyond simple disputes, threading profound connections between the fate of the solar system and the characters’ personal journeys, steering toward an uncertain and climactic confrontation.
