Bend Her

Act I: Sweden? I don't think so!
The crew attend to the 3004 Olympic Games. Hermes competes in the Men's 500 meter Limbo contest, as the rest of the Jamaican team have been detained at the airport because of "other interests". Since he is a bit out of shape, Hermes relies on his body-shaping spandex suit the Professor gave him in order to uphold Jamaica's honour and beat his bitter rival Barbados Slim. He almost succeeds, but the suit bursts shortly before he reaches the finish and Hermes loses. Meanwhile Bender is dreaming of winning a few medals in the bending contests for himself, but as he sees no chance of beating the manbots, he disguises himself as a fembot and enrols under the name of Coilette from Robonia. He wins five medals, but in order to pass the gender check afterwards, he undergoes a sex change operation/oil change the Professor gives him. The operation is a success and Bender gets to keep his medals, however, he is now female.

Act II: Maybe she's right about the lipstick!
As the winner of five gold medals, Bender / coilette is an instant celebrity and is invited to Late Night with Humorbot 5.0. Bender decides to stay female for the time being, although it endangers his ability to change back. At the Late Night show, he/she meets Calculon who instantly falls in love with her. They go on a date, while the ladies Leela and Amy start worrying together with the rest of the crew. Bender undergoes wild mood swings that are connected with his sex change. Calculon proposes Bender / Coilette to marry him, and he/she agrees.

Act III: If I help you with this, do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?
Bender wants to make the wedding a scam to get at Calculon's money, but then realizes he truly loves him and can't bring it over himself to hurt him. The crew rush to Bender's aid to inscene a proper ending for the liason which Calculon can deal with: a Soap Opera Death. At the wedding, Leela, Fry, Hermes and Zoidberg stage a very stylish death for Coilette so Calculon can take it. Afterwards, the Professor changes Bender back to a manbot, much to the relief of Leela and Amy.
