David X. Cohen wrote this fifth season episode that is my favorite so far.  It plays off of not only the pilot but at least a couple episodes I've seen but not recently.  Fry is feeling unimportant but Nibbler reveals that Fry is the most important person in the universe.  This is a Fry/Leela shippy episode, even though she spends most of it on a date with a pretentious mayor's aide, as Fry has to make several decisions about the fate of the universe but is most concerned with how Leela will see him, and if he'll still get to meet her.  And the "tragedy" in the end is that Nibbler has to wipe out Fry's memory, so he'll never know the truth about himself, or Nibbler.

This is one of three episodes where Nicole St. John does the voice of Sally.
