Leela was raised in an orphanage because her folks didn't want her to grow-up with the stigma of being a sewer-dwelling mutant. They decided she looked normal enough to pass as an alien which is far better than being a mutant. The episode ends with Leela embracing her mutant parents which is followed by a nice montage of moments in Leela's lonely life where it is revealed that her parents were there for her the whole time without her even knowing it.
And if you're even a mild Trekkie you'll love the episode, Where No Fan Has Gone Before. Much of the cast from the original Star Trek
series came on the show and voiced their own characters. Before the end of the episode the Trek crew is forced to battle with the Futurama crew by a gaseous being who has brought them to his home-planet for his entertainment. Good stuff.
