"Meanwhile" is the one hundred and fortieth and last [2] episode of Futurama, the twenty-sixth and last of the seventh production season and the thirteenth and last of the tenth broadcast season.

Plot

Act I: "My little meatbag's growing up!"

The episode finds Fry, Leela and Bender making a delivery to the moon and visiting the amusement park there. [3] After a ride accident, Leela seemingly dies. Luckily, all is well. She was trapped inside a stuffed animal. The close call was too much for Fry to handle, and he announces to Bender that he's going to finally propose to Leela.

Meanwhile, Professor Farnsworth invents a device that lets him travel 10 seconds into the past. He uses it to steal money from Zoidberg. Fry takes the time machine to steal diamonds, along with Bender.

He uses the stolen diamonds to fashion an engagement ring, which he hides in a clam. When he presents it to Leela, she reaches for the ring and the clam snaps shut, severing her hand and a bloody stump.

In 2012, Futurama writer Eric Rogers made two revelations concerning the episode. On 11 April, he revealed that "["7ACV25" and this episode] now [had] stories". [4] On 20 April, he revealed that the episode was being "[pitched] out" and urged fans to buy merchandise in order for the show to "come back". [5]

On 5 February 2013, Vulture.com released a preview clip for the tenth broadcast season, [6] which contained footage from the episode.

On 22 April, it was announced that Futurama had not been renewed for an eight season, making this the series finale.

On 20 July, the cast read the episode's first act at Comic-Con. [3]

By 29 August, Comedy Central had released a fifty-second preview clip featuring Fry and Leela alone in a time-frozen New New York. [7]
