Season 6

"Rebirth" (6ACV01)
Episode

  • At the beginning of the episode Fry is covered with horrible burns, and nine of the eleven major characters are dead and hanging gruesomely over Farnsworth's birthing machine. As we learn later, although these crewmembers are "revived" in some sense, this Fry is a robot, and the real Fry is dead. That is, really dead, his remains having disintegrated when Farnsworth dumped them into the birthing machine.
  • Bender dies for a moment after emerging from the birthing machine.
