About this "Futurama" episode:
"T.: The Terrestrial" is the sixteenth episode of the seventh season of the animated sitcom Futurama. It originally aired on Comedy Central on June 26, 2013. The episode was written by Josh Weinstein and directed by Lance Kramer. "T.: The Terrestrial" is a parody of the 1982 Steven Spielberg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In the episode, Fry becomes marooned on a distant planet, where he befriends an inhabitant who helps protect him and find his way home.
Plot (Spoiler):
An invasion of Earth by Lrrr, and his son Jrrr, of Omicron Persei 8 ends with the Headless Clone of Agnew's death. A furious Richard Nixon imposes an embargo on their planet in retaliation, forbidding trade and communications with other planets. Due to the embargo, the Planet Express crew is sent to Omicron Persei 8 to harvest the "sacred weed of Omicron" for Professor Farnsworth's arthritis medication. Bender's electric field activates the herb's bioluminescence. The crew are nearly caught by the Omicronians and quickly escape, however Fry is stranded on the planet after being abandoned by Bender.
Jrrr discovers and befriends Fry, concealing him in his bedroom, and feeds him on his feces, which resemble Skittles. Due to the embargo, Fry is unable to communicate with Earth, but Jrrr helps him create a distress signal. Bender, feeling guilty for his actions, deceives Leela and the rest of the Planet Express crew into thinking Fry is still around using an answer machine recording of Fry. As his scheme becomes successful, it becomes increasingly elaborate. One night, Bender notices Fry's distress signal and steals the Planet Express ship so he can travel to Omicron Perisei 8 to rescue him.
Lrrr discovers an extremely ill Fry in Jrrr's room, and commands his son to kill his friend. Jrrr escapes with Fry on a bicycle powered by love and takes him to a veterinarian, Drrr, where he reveals that he has also been drinking Fry's blood. Drrr prescribes sacred weed to Fry, but suggests euthanizing Fry. Lrrr manages to track down Jrrr and Fry, and repeats his order for Jrrr to kill him. Jrrr stands up to his father, winning Lrrr's approval. Fry seemingly dies from his injuries, overwhelming Jrrr and Lrrr with sadness. Bender arrives, and his electric field causes the ingested herbs to glow and inexplicably revive Fry. Drrr explains that the electromagnetic intensity of Bender and Fry's friendship caused the herbs in Fry's bowel to luminesce with love. After saying goodbye, Fry and Bender return to Earth, where a romantic Leela unknowingly reveals just how far Bender went to cover up Fry's disappearance.
