The plot focuses on Fry and Bender's search for an apartment after deciding to become roommates and the various difficulties they have in finding a place that is acceptable to both of them.
Fry has been living in the Planet Express offices for a month, making messes, leaving food out (which attracts owls, the vermin of New New York), wasting water, and generally disrupting business.
The two hold a housewarming party, and the guests arrive with various gifts, including a miniature fruit salad tree from Leela.
When the group attempts to watch All My Circuits on the apartment's gigantic television, they discover that Bender's antenna interferes with the building's satellite reception.

Club gave the episode a B, saying, "While the story isn’t as sharp as it could’ve been, it does provide solid structure to support some great jokes, as well as solidifying Bender and Fry’s friendship as more than just a relationship of convenience.
