Well here it is--- "Richie Almost Dies" #106
Ralph and Potsie plead with Fonzie to hook up some cables to Al's truck to fix their dead battery because they are taking the Drinkwater twins to the drive-in. Lori Beth walks in and introduces Richie "Wheelie" Cunningham and his new motorcycle. Fonzie checks out the bike and gives him some tips. Leather comes out of the office and says she a gig for the night. Leather asks Fonzie for a lift to the bus because the gig is in Waukeghan. Richie wants to take the bike out for a spin around the block. Richie talks to Howard and Marion and asks them if he can keep the motorcycle and gives his reasons for it. Fonzie comes over and gives Richie a vote of confidence. Howard agrees to let Richie try it. Fonzie tells him to always wear his helmet and never smile (to avoid getting bugs in your teeth). Al's catering truck is back at the garage after Ralph and Potsie push it back 20 blocks (with the emergency brake on). chachi is able to start the truck when Lori Beth runs in screaming for help that Richie is not moving in the street after a crash. The doctor says Richie is in critical condition and in a coma at the hospital. Howard, Marion, and Joanie leave the room along with Fonzie. Everyone is at the Cunningham house, and Howard tells them about the situation. Leather sings a song at the piano (as some Richie scenes are played). Back at the hospital, Fonzie enters the room and gets very emotional talking to him and says he is his best friend. Fonzie spends the entire night in the room and won't leave. Richie awakens and tells everyone to quiet down. Richie has a cast on his left arm and tells Howard he is getting rid of the motorcycle. Howard and Marion eat cookies and drink milk. Directed by: Jerry Paris; Written by: Marty Nadler; Guest stars: Suzi Quatro as Leather, Lynda Goodriend as Lori Beth, and Robert Patten as doctor. Note: Rochelle called for Fonzie according to Chachi. The name of the song that Suzi Quatro sings is 'Believe'. It was written by her especially for Happy Days. Unfortunately, none of Suzi Quatro's songs on Happy Days were ever included on any of her records.

This is the actual descrition from sitcoms online which can be found in the Episode Guide (detailed).

Actually there is another espoide where Fonzie starts to cry in. It is the one when he is going to put his Grandmother in a retirment home. And at the end there is an emontinal scene there. I didn't see the Richie Almost dies espoide yet.

Did he cry in the episode, where he goes blind, when he says "I Hate Your Guts, Cunningham", to Richie?

I may be mistaken, but doesn't he start to cry in "Welcome Home Part 2", when he's saying good-bye to Richie?

"I do like the show.... It's fun to do. I like the character of Charity because she's so hopeful. She's never bitter. There's plenty of things that happen to her that could make her bitter. But she always thinks tomorrow's going to be beautiful. And someday it will be."
- Gwen Verdon

"The advertisements for the show say 'Gwen Verdon as Sweet Charity.' Note that as 'as.' Not 'starring in' or just plain 'in' or even 'in the new musical,' but 'as.' She is that girl. She is Sweet Charity and forever will be."
- Charles Burr
