Grab the tissues if you want to watch The Luck of the Fryrish
On the Season 3 episode "The Luck of the Fryrish," (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0768678/) Fry is fed up with his constant bad luck and sets off with Leela (Katey Sagal) and Bender (John DiMaggio) to the ruins of his old house to retrieve his hidden seven-leaf lucky clover. Throughout the episode, we learn of Fry and his jealous older brother, Yancy (Tom Kenny), who often takes credit for Fry's actions and pesters him for his clover constantly.
When the trio reaches the basement where Fry kept his clover, it is discovered missing, and Fry blames Yancy for losing it. They later find a statue of an individual with a seven-leaf clover attached to his suit named Philip J. Fry, noted to be the first person to land on Mars. Fry believes that his brother stole his name because Yancy was also jealous of Fry's name when he was born. They locate the tomb to take back the clover from the body, and Fry discovers a shocking twist. This individual was not Yancy, but rather Yancy's son, whom he gave the clover to and named in memory of his brother. Realizing his brother always loved him, Fry places the clover back in the grave.
To say this was one of the show's most emotionally powerful episodes would be an understatement. Yancy transforming his bitterness into love for his long-lost sibling is a thing of beauty. And for Fry, who is constantly jeered at as a dumb nobody, having someone go out of their way to honor him is endlessly touching. Anyone with a rocky relationship with a family member is likely to identify with this heart-wrenching episode.
