Trivia
Bender's Decapodian tailor says that his business has been in his family for 7 generations, and that his father only died yesterday- impossible as Decapodians die after mating. Later in the episode, in the background is a newspaper clipping called "The Stickler's Gazette" with an article headline "Tailor's Adoptive Father Dies of Clam Poisoning", clarifying the detail.

Goofs
Marquita is a female bullfighter, so the Spanish word for what she is is not "matador" but "matadora".

A decent episode with some good bits

Overall, I thought it was gonna be worse, it has the Latin american aesthetic just like the first episode but unlike it, this one actually feels more natural, however what confuses me is that is on Mars and Mars allways had an ancient people type of aesthetic, but anyway, it went in a semi unexpected direction, I expected part of it, but I didn't expect the subversion, overall it was decent, nothing too crazy but it did the job fine, better than last season and in terms of comedy it is an improvement over season 11, however we still have some jokes that are way too predictable of are just way too generic, but I liked it.
