Farnsworth holds up a red envelope announcing that his old friend Dr Möbius sent him a letter reminding him of a delivery that needs to be made. The crew are sent off with a device called the expositron that will explain what to do with the package. The device causes them to go in circles, so Leela tries rebooting it. Zapp calls the [[Planet Express ship]], he is about to send his men into battle and wants to leave them behind and go to a depravity spa with Leela. Before she can hang up, Kif asks them to give Amy a gift that he then teleports over, it's a ring made from a Smizmar Proplon, a gem Amphibiosans excrete once in a lifetime. When it arrives, Bender attempts to smash the ring but accidentally transports himself somewhere. Fry grabs the ring and tries to follow. Nibbler informs Leela about what has happened and that Fry is most likely in an alternate universe due to the Proplon. Bender finds himself on the set of ''[[All My Circuits]]'' then decides to take a nap, resulting in strange dreams. Fry ends up in front of ''[[The Beast With Two Bucks Sex Shoppe]]'' and is chased into a space time porta portal by people wanting the ring. Meanwhile, Leela has stopped to refuel and meets Alcazar who has set up cameras all over the universe, and several alternate universes to film people for his television network. | |||
