The Story
Act I
The crew return from a delivery to find an invitation to a Package-Con convention. Meanwhile, the Professor learns that the Box Network has removed Planet Express from the delivery schedule, but he soon discovers an alternative in the Carton Network who create a vortex to trap the crew, who were headed to the convention. They end up in a time loop where they must relive past deliveries.
Act II
The Package-Con attendees are shocked to discover that the only Planet Express staff member to show up is Scruffy, and try to find ways to get the crew to safety. The crew grow sick of their loop during a visit to the Gypsy and ask about the future. The Gypsy informs them of four adventures, the first two of which involve cosmic repercussions. Finally, the crew are saved thanks to the mighty nerd powers of their fans.
