List of Futurama episodes

"T.: The Terrestrial" is the sixteenth episode of the seventh season of the animated sitcom Futurama. It originally aired on Comedy Central on June 26, 2013. The episode was written by Josh Weinstein and directed by Lance Kramer. In the episode, Fry becomes marooned on a distant planet, where he befriends an inhabitant who helps protect him and find his way home.

An invasion of Earth by Lrrr and his son Jrrr of Omicron Persei 8 ends with the Headless Clone of Agnew's death. A furious Richard Nixon's Head imposes an embargo on their planet in retaliation, forbidding trade and communications with other planets. Due to the embargo, the Planet Express crew is sent to Omicron Persei 8 to harvest the "sacred weed of Omicron" for Professor Farnsworth's arthritis medication. Bender's electric field activates the herb's bioluminescence. The crew are nearly caught by the Omicronians and quickly escape, however Fry is stranded on the planet after being abandoned by Bender.

Jrrr discovers and befriends Fry, concealing him in his bedroom, and feeds him his feces, which resemble candy. Due to the embargo, Fry is unable to communicate with Earth, but Jrrr helps him create a distress signal. Bender, feeling guilty for his actions, deceives Leela and the rest of the Planet Express crew into thinking Fry is still around using an answering machine recording of Fry's voice. One night, Bender notices Fry's distress signal and steals the Planet Express ship so he can travel to Omicron Persei 8 to rescue him.
