It's mother's day and every robot in the world, including Bender, goes to the Friendly Robot Company to tell Mom they love her and give her presents. A sickened Mom uses a special remote to make the robots rebel and make her overlord of the universe. Since everything is computerised, civilization begins to crumble. It turns out that the reason Mom is so angry is that the Professor broke her heart 70 years ago. Her sons explain the situation to the Planet Express crew, and the professor plans to get back together with her and get the remote, which she keeps in her bra. He goes to her hideout and they make up. They quickly start fighting again, and end up having sex. Mom calls off the rebellion, but she finds out about the plan and dumps the Proffesor.
