If the Futurama When the episode titles for season 12 were released, I immediately noticed a particularly unusual one, and the third episode only gave a taste of that very episode. At the end of Futurama Season 11, I was a little disappointed with Hulu’s revival of the Matt Groening sitcom, but I think the latest season has been a big improvement so far. Although the modern era of the series has reduced the season size to just 10 episodes, Futurama Season 12 strives to make sure every story counts.

The cryptic allusion is not limited to a single member of the Futurama Season 12 cast. Instead, the tantalizing clue is passed on to a few different characters. Any mention of a particular word is easy to miss, as the show doesn’t draw attention to it. However, since I am so interested in the title of Futurama penultimate episode of season 12I couldn’t ignore the teasing.

Futurama Season 12, Episode 3, “The Temp,” highlights that “Library” is mispronounced several times

Leela and some other characters say “Liberry” instead

Futurama Season 12, Episode 9 will be called “The Futurama Mystery Liberry.” I’ll admit, when I first read the title, I thought it was deliberate gibberish. It wasn’t until I used the word out loud and in context in “The Temp” that I realized it was a phonetic representation of the mispronunciation of “Library.” The mistake occurs a few times in “The Temp,” which makes me think Futurama Season 12 builds on a larger story which will culminate in the penultimate episode. My theory is somewhat strengthened by the occurrence of the word “mystery” in the title of episode 9.

Each character says “
Liberry
” in “The Temp,” this is done in a way that makes it clear that it is meant to be noticed rather than being a genuine mistake.

Each character says “Liberry” in “The Temp” does this in a way that makes it clear that it’s meant to be noticed rather than being a genuine error. Since it’s a genuine mispronunciation that happens in the real world, a time or two might go unnoticed. However, the constant recurrence of the word made me raise my eyebrows. “The Temp” also does a good job of further disguising its teasers by showcasing many books as part of the story, giving characters plenty of opportunity to reference the library.
