The creature subsequently conducts a series of experiments, modifying the crew members' sexual characteristics "...in strange and wondrous ways..."
In the second new episode, titled "Benderama," Bender gains the power of infinite self-replication, producing a vast horde of smaller and smaller Benders. Also appearing is 'Unattractive Giant Monster' (Patton Owalt), a repulsive alien who is extremely sensitive about his appearance. When the giant's feelings are hurt by the people of Earth, it is up to Bender and his minions to fend off the giant's attack in an epic battle of 'Good vs. Ugly'.
Along with Oswalt, guest stars this season include Dan Castellaneta ("The Simpsons"), scientist Stephen Hawking and astronaut, Buzz Aldrin.
