[edit] The Story

[edit] Act I

In the Black Dwarf System, in the deepest part of space, a mystic green wave of light begins to spread. In the nearby violet dwarf system in slightly deep space, the wave of light hits its astronomical bodies, including an asteroid, and life begins to form.

Cut to the old Mars Vegas, where the Planet Express crew is partying. But the party is soon to come to an end, because Leo Wong is demolishing the city in front of a crowd, Leo explains that they are going to build a new Mars Vegas, bigger and better, out further in the desert.

At the construction site, a group of environmentalist feminists, the Feministas, lead by Frida Waterfall, shows up to protest the construction. To show his appreciation, Leo blows them up, and Frida's female symbol necklace becomes lodged in Fry's brain.

Leela becomes a bit concerned with Leo's lack of respect for nature. He defends himself, explaining that he has hired Professor Farnsworth to perform an environmental survey of the construction, but Farnsworth is clearly being bribed by Leo.

In a small scum puddle, Leela finds a Desert Muck Leech (Cyprinodon martius), Farnsworth explains that the puddle in question is the last place in the universe where this species breeds, which means it is a lot easier to get rid of than ponies. Leo doesn't care, and lays a car park over the site, however, Leela has managed to save just one leech.

Due to potential legal issues because of what happened to Fry, Leo gives him a free entry to the Poker tournament. When Leo needs the rest as witnesses, Bender scores them a deal for free suites and free dinner when the new Mars Vegas opens.

At the new casinos, Fry begins to hear other peoples thoughts. Out on the street, Fry's condition worsens, as more and more people's voices enter his head, and so he flees into an alley where he meets Hutch. Hutch can apparently also read minds, but explains that in order to rid Fry of the voices, he needs a tin foil hat, which Hutch supplies. After which, Hutch explains to Fry that he is a mind reader, Hutch discovers something strange about Fry, he is unable to read Fry's thoughts. Hutch warns Fry about the Dark Ones, and tells him never to speak of his ability.

[edit] Act II

Meanwhile, the Robot Mafia and Bender are enjoying a theatre of the pornographic art. Bender becomes especially interested in the main act; Fanny. When he meets her at her dressing room, Fanny immediately becomes interested in Bender, but there is a slight hitch; Fanny is Donbot's wife. Despite this, they make out immediately behind Donbot's back.

Elsewhere, Fry wants to try out his new "superpower", and after mistaking it for invisibility, he decides to enter the poker tournament. At Elzar's place in Mars Vegas, Bender reveals the affair with Fanny to the crew. Despite the obvious display to Joey Mousepad and Clamps, Donbot is still not sure that the affair is real. Bender also decides to enter the Universal Poker Championship to please Fanny. Fanny warns him that he isn't lucky enough, but Bender explains he is 40% lucky, due to some of his metal coming from a truckload of horseshoes. Fanny supplies Bender with Donbot's foot which would grant him 70% more luck, in addition to those two kinds of luck, he also stepped on a Leprechaun, which brings him up to 3 kinds of luck, with which he cannot lose.

Donbot explains to the gang, that to convince him of the affair, Bender would have to win the poker tournament, which would mean that Bender has his foot, and thus he and Fanny are having an affair.

[edit] Act III

At the 3009 Universal Poker Championship, hosted by Penn & Teller, Bender and Fry meet up, discovering that they both have entered. With the other contestants eliminated, it is down to Bender and Fry, but in their final hand, Bender refuses to look at his cards, leaving Fry unable to use his mind reading skills to know what to do. Fry calls Bender's all in. 3 kings and 2 aces are laid out by the dealer, Fry's hand is two aces, giving him a hand of four. Bender, however, has two kings, one being a coaster labelled "King of Beers", giving him a hand of five kings and he wins the championship.

However, Bender's win also means that Donbot has decided to deal with Bender and Fanny. Out in the desert, the Robot Mafia forces them to dig their own graves, after which they bury and shoot them a few times as a warning.

The episode ends with "next time".
