Meanwhile - S7-E26

Trivia: While at Luna Park, Bender throws a beer bottle and it sticks in the moon-head creature's eye. This is a reference to the image of the man in the moon with a bullet in his eye, from the 1902 French film, A Trip to the Moon (considered to be the first sci-fi movie). (00:01:25)

Mobius Dick - S6-E21

Bendin' in the Wind - S3-E13

Trivia: On the map of the U.S. when Beck is touring, Utah is renamed "Human Farm", written in Alienese. Now we know where all the meat for those tasty human burgers come from.

Bendless Love - S3-E6

Trivia: When Hermes, a Rastafarian, is trying to straighten out his straight edge, he says "Haile H. Selassie" (an exclamation he says in other episodes too). Haile Selassie is the central figure in the Rastafari culture. For many Rastafarians, Selassie is a biblical messiah and the second coming of Christ. Thus, the added "H" could be akin to someone saying "Jesus H. Christ."

A Bicyclops Built for Two - S2-E13

Trivia: When Leela is talking to Alkazar, in the morning after breakfast, he says "please, call me Al." A nod to Al Bundy from "Married With Children." Katey Sagal (the voice of Leela), played Peggy Bundy, the wife of Al. Later, they have Al sitting on a couch, and Leela having her hair done up, like in "Married With Children."

When Aliens Attack - S2-E3

Trivia: This episode has a couple of nods to Sci-Fi movies. In the initial attack on Monument beach, the Omicronians destroy the White House the same as Independence Day. Later, Fry is wearing the same helmet as the Rebels in Star Wars, and the Planet Express ship goes by a turret that is copied from the Death Star's turrets.

Answer: You are thinking about episode 20 of series 2 - "Anthology of Interest I". She technically never kills anyone, but in the episode she ask a "What if machine" (one of the Professor's inventions) what would happen if she was more impulsive. The machine then shows the more impulsive Leela killing off the Professor to get the money from his will and thereafter killing Hermes, Bender, Scruffy, Cubert, Nibler, Amy and Zoidberg to cover it up. Finally she does something really impulsive with Fry.
