"Coilette" is invited to go on Late Night with Humor-Bot 5.0 and starts to show fembot tendencies, while insulting other women. Also appearing on the show is robot actor Calculon, who falls for Coilette instantly. The two go on several dates, which Bender claims he is doing for the fame and money. Calculon later proposes to Coilette, who accepts — Bender's motive being to subsequently divorce Calculon to get half his belongings. On an outing, however, Coilette's emotions go wild as she sees that Calculon really loves her. Professor Farnsworth then reveals that Bender is slipping closer and closer to being a fembot forever due to the female hormones. At the wedding, Leela, Doctor Zoidberg and Fry stage an elaborate scene, ending in Coilette's death. Though heartbroken, Calculon vowed to star alone in a film "dedicated to her memory". Bender returns to his male persona, but still seems to miss Calculon.
