Plot

After a succesful day of work with no injuries except Zoidberg  in the locker room, the Planet Express crew say goodbye to each other and goes back to their own places except the Professor who has no idea where's he going for the night. When everyone has left the building, Fry and Leela leave their locker where they've been hiding for a private evening while everyone was leaving. Fry then reveals his plans to Leela: a romantic dinner on the Planet Express Ship prepared with all kind of materials and foods found in the office. When they where about to share a kiss, they realise that Scruffy is still here mopping the floor.

Looking for a private time, they decide to take a walk on Central Park where they are the only couple. However, they meet Bender, who tries to rob their wallets. Leela stuns Bender as she run away from him, with Fry collecting stolen wallets and purses stolen by Bender in the process.

They then go for a romantic dinner at Elzar restaurant where they are disrupted by Zoidberg who works there as dishwasher because Hermes doesn't pay him. Leela then decides that they should go to her apartment.

While the two begin to kiss at her apartment, Nibbler watches them with one of his eye and they suddently stop. After Leela complains that it is impossible for them to be together with no one arroud, a targeting ad pops up from Leela's arm device promoting the Casa Isalada eco-resort, a resort designed for couple. Fry thinks that Leela can't afford to pay the trip, but the ad says that she can have a 25% discount for being a return guest. Leela then reveals that she once went there with her ex-boyfriend Sean. The two agreed to go there as Leela won't exclusively thinks of Sean.

The next day, the rest of the crew is loading the Planet Express ship with tiny cars for a delivery on Simian 7, a planet exclusively inhabited with apes and where humans are not allowed. Fry and Leela arrive at Planet Express and say that they are going on vacation. The Professor initialy refuses their vacation, but agrees when he realises that they are human-being. He then chooses Zoidberg as Fry's substitute and Amy for Leela's substitute. However, since she's a human, she must wear her marmoset-like pajamas as a disguise.

Fry and Leela then arrive at their resort where they are well served by mechanical arms who can do anything they want including nose picking. After some activities and a supper, they go for a naked swim on a pound with all the surrounding fireflies. They decide to play Marco Polo, but Sean appears, undress himself and joins them on the pound much to Fry's disgust. Altough that the resort is only for two people, Sean says that their shuttle is broken and that he must wait here until it is fixed by the mechanical arms. Leela then decides to go talk with Sean while Fry will waits them while feedind the mosquitoes.

Meanwhile, Amy, Bender and Zoidberg arrive at Simian 7. After completing the delivery of the cars, the CEO of Bonobo and Associates (who's a gorilla) appears and say that they only want the tires for their new chairs. A vast group of apes appears and hapilly take all the tires from the cars. After Amy signs papers with a mandrill who is attracted to her upright posture, she then meets Guenter, who recognize her and promise to not say anything about her costume.

Back on the resort, Leela and Sean are disussing about what happenned after they broke up. Sean reveals that his musical career made it to another step when he recorded a demo and a video until he lost his phone. Leela then reveals that she is not an alien, but a sewer mutant. Sean then start playing his saxophone, which Leela appreciate just like when she was dating him, but becomes bored after awhile. Meanwhile, Fry is watching them while drinking cocktails prepared by the mechanical arms. Since the mechanicals arms can't go out with Fry, he decides to fight Sean, but breaks his saxophone reed. An angry Sean who wants a money to fix his reed is about to beat up Fry when Sean's wife, Darlene, appears and says that the shuttle is fixed. Sean and Darlene leave the resort while Leela watch's a drunk Fry eating peanut butter.

Back on Simian 7, Guenter make a tour of his planet to Bender, Amy and Zoidberg. He reveals that Simian 7 was founded by Christopher Colobus to make a world where apes don't have to be specimen for humans experiments, organ grinders or being force to drive tiny vehicules. They then go to all-you-can-eat buffet buffet where they pick and eat bugs on living monkeys. Guenter then take the crew to an art gallery which displays monkeys art, litterature and music. They then go to a zoo where animals are on fence-free enclosure, but held in captivity with giant domes made out of glass.

At the same time, a sad Leela sits on the resort bed. Fry then comes in to apologize for ruining their vacation, but Leela blames Sean and says that she has no emotions for him. Finally together, they start to kiss much to Amy, Bender and Zoidberg's disgust who watch them as they are in the Simian 7 zoo enclosure for the Human species. Noticing that the fireflies are all arround (which is in fact the flashes from visitors camera) they start to make love.

To save them from humiliation, Amy, Bender, Zoidberg and Guenter visit the zoo director which is in fact Dr. Banjo. Bender argues they can't keep Fry and Leela against their will, but Dr. Banjo says that they paid for their vacation and that it is fair to put humans on display just like humans put apes on display. He also trys to discourage them fromm saving Leela and Fry by showing them some clips of Leela and Fry talking behind their back. Those clips reveals to Dr. Banjo that Amy is in fact a human. After Dr. Banjo attempt to tranquilize Amy with a jet injector, they run away from Dr. Banjo except Guenter, who was hit.

Trying to save Leela and Fry despite their comments, Amy, Bender and Zoidberg are trapped into several animal enclosures. When they finally reach the human habitat, they are swallowed by a giant moon worm. After 1 week being trapped in the moon worm, they are thrown out of it and manage to get into the human habitat. However, as they enter into it, Fry and Leela are already leaving in their shuttle.

As everyone is back to Planet Express, Fry and Leela tell what they did in the resort. Bender wants to tell them the truth, but Amy says that he should not because it would make them feel bad. As Leela notices Amy pajamas is all torn apart, she and Fry irronically talk about the comments they made on Amy, Bender and Zoidberg in the resort which makes them more upset. Bender finally yells: You were in a Zoo!.
