Futurama season 12, episode 6's ending sets up an exciting future for the series, hinting that it may be takinga. risk that could change the series forever.
Futurama season 12, episode 6, "Attack of the Clothes" starts out like any other Futurama episode, with Farnsworth embarking on another wild scientific expedition, this time to bring to life his headless Frankenstein's monster. After model and guest star Cara Delevingne lends her head to the monster, eventually causing it to become a fashion icon. Farnsworth capitalizes on this success and starts a new craze in New New York, but his fast fashion empire leads to the eventual destruction of Earth. Upon realizing that the world may end as a result of Farnsworth's actions, the episode ends.

Futurama Season 12, Episode 6 Ends On A Massive Cliffhanger
Farnsworth Almost Destroys The World
Throughout Futurama season 12, episode 6, Farnsworth encourages his customers to send thier used clothing through a wormhole. The Planet Express crew eventually enters the wormhole, discovering that the clothes are being sent to a distant planet, with it destroying all life and civilization. Although this is bad enough, the Futurama cast is shocked when clothes begin to fall from the sky and onto New New York, with them eventually realizing that Farnsworth's wormhole has actually sent tons of clothes into the future. Knowing that this will cause the destruction of Earth, the episode ends with the gang watching in horror.
The end of Futurama season 12, episode 6 is clearly not the end of this story, meaning that a future episode is needed to wrap this conflict up. The ending of the episode sets up a story in which Farnsworth's greed has made the destruction of Earth inevitable, and the fact that the episode doesn't resolve this makes it seem as if a sequel episode will be coming. Futurama rarely tells stories that evolve over multiple episodes, but since episode 6 ends on a cliffhanger, it is entirely possible that a part two could be coming soon.

Why Now Is The Perfect Time For Another Multi-Episode Futurama Arc
Just Like The Futurama Movies
Futurama season 12, episode 6 looks like it is setting up another multi-episode Futurama arc, and now is the perfect time to do this. Futurama has started to focus more on its continuity and overarching storylines since it returned on Hulu, and while this has been a smaller scale change, "Attack of the Clothes" could be the start of a much more drastic shift in this direction. The streaming model is the perfect opportunity for Futurama to focus on larger overarching stories, as the team behind the show doesn't have to worry about viewers missing broadcast episodes.
Futurama has only done these massive stories at one other point in the show's lifetime. After one of Futurama's cancelations, a series of Futurama movies were made, with each of these feature length stories telling grand stories set within the show's 31st Century universe. These movies were then sliced up and broadcast as several different episodes, creating the show's first multi-part stories. With "Attack of the Clothes," Futurama could entirely cut out the movie format, directly kicking off the show's first proper multi-part episodes.

Could Futurama Season 12, Episode 7 Ignore Episode 6's Ending?
It Seems Like It
Although "Attack of the Clothes" seems to be directly setting up a sequel episode, it is entirely possible that Futurama season 12, episode 7 could completely ignore episode 6's ending. It is already known that episode 7 is about Hermes inheriting a coffee planet, something that seems entirely unrelated to "Attack of the Clothes." It is possible that episode 7's B-story could focus on the fallout of Farnsworth's fashion empire, but sadly, this is unlikely.
Futurama has ignored major story beats before, and episode 6 could be another case of this happening. Several Futurama episodes have seen characters die and the world end, and while these tend to be in non-canonical anthology episodes, there have been cases where the status quo has simply been reset. Futurama season 12, episode 7 could be doing this once again, leaving the ending of "Attack of the Clothes" completely unresolved.
