Stench and Stenchibility

"Stench and Stenchibility" is the one hundred and thirty-ninth episode of Futurama, the twenty-fifth of the seventh production season and the twelfth of the tenth broadcast season. It aired on 28 August 2013, on Comedy Central. Dr. Zoidberg meets the love of his life while Bender squares off in a deadly tap-dancing competition.

Plot
A girl named Marianne (voiced by English actress ) falls in love with Zoidberg as she cannot smell his foul odours, due to being born with no sense of smell. However, Zoidberg (being a doctor) could give her the opportunity to have her sense of smell repaired with a nose transplant, creating a dilemma that could end their relationship.

Production
