The Story
Act I
The staff of Planet Express shop around a flee market. Leela meets up with Inez Wong who encourages her (and Zoidberg) to start collecting "Needy Newbies", including inviting them to her weekly collectors meeting. Meanwhile, Bender meets Randy and makes a crap selling deal with him. At the meeting, Leela defends Zoidberg and gets in an argument with Mrs. Wong and threatens to prevent her from getting the last two Newbies she needs. Bender and Randy steal things from around the office. Leela and Fry go on a delivery, but take a detour to the flee market to try and beat Mrs. Wong to a Newbie.
Act II
Failing to beat Mrs. Wong, they find some parts missing from the ship at Randy's stand and buy them. Leela finds out where she can get the last Newbie. The Professor calls to inform her that the newbies are designed to join together and destroy humanity, which he discovered when her and Zoidberg's newbies joined. The ship is damaged on the way to the planet Nosferatu lV, Inez is already there, however Zoidberg bought it already, with blood which the seller intends to use to use as protection payments against the local vampires. Inez's car won't start so she gets a ride with the others in Zoidberg's hover-caddy. Against Zoidberg's wishes, the Professor demonstrates how the newbies join and Inez gives up collecting them.
