A mutant girl tries to join the troop and Bender claims his group is for robots only, Leela overhears and decides to start a group for mutants. Fry is jealous, but can't find anyone to join his group, so he decides to be a troop on his own. The crew argue over which troop is best, so Hermes sends the troops on a field trip/delivery

Act II
The groups have a series of contests and are tied when a volcano erupts. The planet is revealed to be a living planet and the delivery is medicine, without which it is going through various climate changes. After successfully medicating the planet, the troops decide to merge and the planet is recruited as a new member.
