After his cooking puts the planet express crew to sleep, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] searches for a way to spice it up from a black market. The store owner gives him what Bender thinks is  pepper, which is now sent directly to the ministry of defence as it killed a species of invading aliens, making the pepper illegal contraband. Bender is then fired after his food kills the health inspector (due to "S/P" actually standing for smallpox) and the only job he can hold is cooking for the [[Robot Devil]], who is then also killed by his cooking. This causes robots to stop coming to the Temple of [[Religion#Robotology|Robotology]], and in the last moment of need, the [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot|Preacherbot]] turns to Bender to be the new Robot Devil.
