The Story

Act I

After Cubert’s marks drop from A+ to A, Professor Farnsworth decides to send him to boarding school and Fry, Bender and Leela are sent to look for schools for him. The only decent school on the list is on the planet Curriculax and when they get there Cubert tricks the crew into signing admission forms so they are also stuck in school. The crew reveal that they hated school; Fry had a gym teacher who made his life hell, all of the kids had nothing to do with Leela and Bender had a learning disability. In class Bender quickly calculates his math to make the class respect him but instead it angers them and they chase him around the school, Leela becomes popular because she has a spaceship, and the students trick Fry into breaking the rules causing him to do hard laps and have to shower in liquid nitrogen.

Act II

Fry wants to escape but Leela is happy and Bender is trying to be respected. Leela and her new friends slingshot around the sun to go back in time and not be late for class, but this triggers a supernova and the planet is about to burn. The heat kills Fry’s gym teacher, which gives him and Bender the chance to escape while Leela is in detention, but Fry refuses to go without the rest of the school. The principal won’t let them leave the school so Fry purposely gets the crew and Cubert expelled. Cubert has an idea to attach the school and the ship to bike chains and drop the school off on another planet. Everything goes fine until the crew return to find Earth has been deserted…

Additional Info

Trivia

  • This was the first part of the four part triology but wasn't included because the plot wasn't related to the main story.
  • This is the third time there is time travel, the first was in Roswell that Ends Well and the second was in the game.
  • Characters from The Luck of the Fryrish appear in Fry's flashback.

Quotes

  • Fry: So what's your plan?
    Cubert: You're standing right in front of it.
    Bender: Your plan is Fry?
  • Leela: Come on! Pick up! Pick up! He's not answering. Neither is Amy, Hermes, Zoidberg or Scruffy.
    Fry: Who's Scruffy?

Outside References

  • Rowling 6 is an obvious parody of Harry Potter.
  • The teenagers already in detention before Fry, Bender and Leela come in are a parody of The Breakfast Club.
  • Like in this comic, other comics, and the T.V show, a select number of people don't know who Scruffy is.
