History Recap / FuturamaS3E2ParasitesLost

** Zoidberg briefly rides on one of Fry's sperm, the worms having fixed it up after Bender sterilized Fry back in "Fry and the Slurm Factory£.

-->'''Zoidberg''': Guess again. ''(Fry looks worried)''

* HeroicHost: Fry is considered this to the intestinal worms but was probably ''not'' (after kicking them all out of his own digestive system}.

* {{Fanservice}}: The outfit that Leela falls asleep in while waiting for muscular Fry to return to her apartment is very... revealing to say the least.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The second act break has Leela dismembering the Planet Express crew with an axe. Fortunately, they're just remote-controlled robots.

* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: After becoming smart and muscular thanks to the worms, Fry manages to attract Leela, but then starts to think that
what Leela loves is not the true charmingly dimwitted Fry, but what the worms made him into. His fear is proven true when after getting rid of the worms, Leela rejects him.

* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome

* BeneficialDisease: The parasitic worms actually improve Fry's body. The only reason he gets rid of them is to find out if Leela loved him or what he had actually become, a muscular and brilliant man.
* BittersweetEnding: Fry's been rejected by Leela, and gone back to being the lazy, slovenly idiot he was... but he's determined to keep trying, and manages to briefly get the holophoner working at the end.
* {{Fanservice}}: The outfit Leela falls asleep in while waiting for muscular Fry to return to her apartment is very... revealing to say the least.
** Fry starts [[ShirtlessScene ripping off his own shirt and red jacket to reveal he's that ripped]]. Leela makes a rather appreciative sound.
* FantasticVoyagePlot: The Planet Express tour Fry's own stomach and intestines.

** Amy's line after seeing the advanced civilization in Fry's colon ("That place used to be a big dump!"), which the FOX censors wanted the writers to edit. They never did.

* HiddenDepths: Only a few people in the universe can play the holophoner, and they're not very good at it. At the very end, Fry, who has little to no experience with one, manages to create play it for himself.

* NeverSayDie: The worms killed by the crew in their battle to get to Fry's pelvic splanchnic ganglion are never shown being killed on-screen, but we do see plenty of worm corpses.

* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Averted, in that [[MadScientist Professor Farnsworth]] has the whole gang use motion-controlled miniature avatars (instead of shrinking them) to go into Fry's unaware body. When asked why, Farnsworth explains that shrinking "would require very tiny atoms... and have you priced those lately? I'm not made of money. Leave me alone!"

* PlotHole and WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The questions of why Hermes is eating popcorn from a jai alai scooper and why the worm world in Fry's body is made of eating utensils are never answered. However, there is a scene cut from the final episode (which can be seen on DVD in the deleted scenes reel) showing Fry eating all the plates and silverware in the office so the intestinal worms can build their own internal city.

When Fry becomes infested with parasitic worms (after eating an egg salad sandwich from a truck-stop bathroom on another planet) that make him stronger and smarter, he finally finds the perfect way to profess his feelings to Leela. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew goes on a Fantastic Voyage-esque journey into Fry's body to eradicate the worms.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The second act break has Leela dismembering the Planet Express crew with an axe... fortunately, they're just remote-controlled robots.

A scene cut from the final episode (which can be seen on DVD in the deleted scenes reel) had Fry eating all the plates and silverware in the office so the intestinal worms can build their own internal city. ''That'' explains why Hermes was eating popcorn out of a jai-alai scooper, and why the buildings inside Fry have forks and knifes as towers.
