After the crew is sent to a planet ruled by gangsters, Bender has all his parts stolen, and it's up to Fry and Leela to find them. They contact the police and find Yuri, who sold Bender's parts, and he gives them a list of all the buyers. After traversing across the galaxy collecting all the parts, the only one left to find is Bender's ass, which unfortunately was on a space ship that sunk in a gaseous space sea. The crew then goes to said sea and meet Tarquin, the local keeper of a poorly lit lighthouse, who helps them salvage the ship and recover the ass plate, much to Bender's joy, but they soon find out that Bender's ass is a better reflector than the one in the lighthouse, forcing Bender to part with it to ensure that scurvy cursing sailors do not die at sea, thus being unable to spread curse words. After returning to Earth, Bender is heartbroken and depressed because of his loss, but his friends assure him that he should be happy that his ass is doing some good. Meanwhile, back at the lighthouse, Tarquin is spending some quality time with Bender's shining ass while reading a Bible, but just then the rotating device goes out of control and flings the ass plate out of the lighthouse. The ass plate then flies off and saves a boy who fell into a gravity well, and then continues to fly all the way back to Earth, where it reunites with a happy Bender in Planet Express. However, back on the gaseous sea, ships are crashing everywhere due to the lighthouse having lost its reflector.

Trivia

Goofs

  • When Bender is found by Fry and Leela, he only has his mouth and eyes. However, since he doesn't have a brain, he shouldn't be able to speak.
    • There may be a secondary brain inside his mouth or his eyes.
  • Without his ass, Bender has a lot of exposed circuitry, but, in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", his container unit is shown to be empty.
    • Bender's design constantly changes throughout the show. This may be due to Bender getting modifications.

Quotes

    Fry: Uhm, Leela, remember when we were trying to guess what would happen if someone stuck a gun in my face and you said I'd probably crap my pants? Well...

    Crud gang member: We are the cruds, but we're over here. And don't shoot. That crate is a gift from us.
    Leela: What?!
    Fry: Huh?!
    Blip gang member: For real?!
    Crud gang member: There's been enough violence on these streets, too many lives and mirrors have been shattered, so yo, we sent you a crate o' weapons as a sign o' trust. Together, we can use them to rid our streets of the real enemy: giant spiders!
    Fry: I knew it!

    Bender: They stole everything except my mouth and eyes! I guess they didn't like all my screamin' and winkin'.

    Ship captain: I thought we were near the rocks, but I don't see the lighthouse, so...everything is fine and we can relax. [He speaks through the intercom.] All hands on deck...for mojitos.

    [Bender is sat looking miserable at the table in the Planet Express employee lounge, whilst Fry, Leela, Amy, Hermes and Zoidberg are sat watching the TV.]
    Amy: Bender, come join us, we're watching Rear Window!
    Bender: I used to stick my rear out the window...
    Zoidberg: If you prefer, we could watch Behind the Music.
    Bender: My behind used to make music...
    Hermes: Backdraft is on.
    Bender: Even my ass wouldn't watch that.
