Leela meets Alcazar, who claims to be another cyclops from their home planet of Clycopia. They're only hopes of restoring their race, but Alcazar turns out to be a huge jerk, and the story shifts from a romantic space opera to a lowbrow dysfunctional family sitcom very reminiscent of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren.'' Can Leela overlook that for the sake of the species?
