Xmas Story - S2-E8

Trivia: When Fry is in the pet shop looking for a present for Leela, the one eared rabbit in the cage, is a character from Matt Groening's first comic strip, Life in Hell.

Fry and the Slurm Factory - S2-E4

Trivia: In the Slurm ad, there's a condition for the competition which fills the screen and is written in Alienese. It says "the following species are ineligible: Space wasps, Space beavers, any other species with the word space in front, space chickens and the elusive yak-face."

I Second That Emotion - S2-E5

Trivia: In this episode, when the crew goes down to the sewers, they meet the mutants, then go back to the village. Just when they start to gather round for the song, you can see Leela's parents. However, we don't learn about Leela's parents until later on.

A Head in the Polls - S2-E7

Trivia: In the beginning, Bender and Fry are watching an episode of "The Scary Door", based on The Twilight Zone. In it, a man is billed as "The Last Man On Earth", and he is walking into a library. This is a mirror of the episode "Time Enough At Last", where the man is the survivor of a bombing holocaust, and winds up at a public library, saying there was time at last to read, but breaks his glasses.

A Bicyclops Built for Two - S2-E13

Trivia: When Leela is talking to Alkazar, in the morning after breakfast, he says "please, call me Al." A nod to Al Bundy from "Married With Children." Katey Sagal (the voice of Leela), played Peggy Bundy, the wife of Al. Later, they have Al sitting on a couch, and Leela having her hair done up, like in "Married With Children."

Rebirth - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: In the first episode of season 6, "Rebirth", near the end after the real Fry comes out of the Rebirth chamber, the robot Leela says that she and the robot Fry are in love she now has the real Leela's mechanical arm device on. But she never had it before or after that shot.

Answer: Yes Leela knew from early on that Fry had feelings for her. They were pretending to be a couple in 'A Flight to Remember' from season 1 and Fry tried to get on dates with Leela ever since. She just didn't show signs of the feelings maybe being mutual before some of the later episodes.
