I know I’m in the minority here, but this is one of my least favorite episodes (be gentle). I thought the events were moving too fast and they had a quota to fit a certain amount of jokes per scene.
This is of course a cartoon and so I don’t expect every character's reaction to make sense, but a lot of the decision-making was so silly even for Futurama. Leela's decision to make episodes of that show indefinitely was so stupid that it felt like another character should have been the one making driving that decision. Bender is a character I could see coming up with that plan, but Leela should be better than that.
I don't know. I guess it just wasn’t my thing
I think Leela's decision tracks. She's always been the level headed, analytical captain... until an emotional nerve is stuck.
We see similar behaviours frequently in earlier seasons, and she has always had a soft spot for Fry, even before she loved him.
