"Yumyulack's Giant Head" is the last episode of Solar Opposites[1], season five.
Plot[]
Yumyulack finds out some unsavory news about his mission role.
Full Story[]
The episode begins with an unknown human confessing to who he believes is a catholic priest. However, it turns out to be Yumyulack who quickly expresses disgust over the content of the man’s confession and starts attacking him, exclaiming “get bounty hunted, bitch!”. When Yumyulack arrives back home, he is asked where he had been.
The Pupa appears to be sick, but in reality, needed to be fed, which leads to Korvo having to tell Yumyulack the truth—that he is the “nutrient replicant”, the Shlorpian sacrificed to feed the pupa so it can evolve and terraform. Yumyulack is deeply disturbed after being shown a video about the process. He cunningly pretends to have accepted his fate for a moment, just to turn around and threaten Korvo in front of Terry and Jesse. When this doesn’t work, he destroys the cloning machine and runs away.
Korvo reveals that there is a clone he let escape. This clone ran off to Ireland. The Opposites hunt him down so they can bring him back home to feed the pupa. Eventually, he is brought back with Korvo, Terry, and Jesse, but thankfully the gang finds out that chalupas have the same nutritional value as replicant meat, so they can feed the Pupa chalupas instead of having to routinely sacrifice Yumyulack.
