Fresh off ripping space-time a new one at the end of "Bender's Big Score," the Planet Express crew is back to mend the tear in reality, or (hopefully) at least not make it worse.

Reviews
Honestly does explore some pretty engaging concepts, but only very shallowly so. Not as good as your typical episode of the show. Could have either leaned a bit more into the jokes and just been fun, or properly explored the relationships and notions raised, and been kind of compelling. Instead it's neither. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
