The real reson is that, as the end credits are rolling, the professor fell asleep again, only to be visited by the an astral projection of of Fry who convinced him that keeping him on staff would be beneficial, that blood was thicker than water, and some other thing.
The professor is convinced by his dream and vows to rehire Fry. By this time, however, they are aready back home. Fry, meanwhile, has fallen to his death in Detroit. The fall didn't kill him, roving street gangs did.
The professor then constructs an elborate time-shifter device and shifts his crew into the past just before Fry was dropped out of the first PE Ship. They catch Fry, and are able to pull him aboard safely when the past ship and the present ship get too close to one another, which creates a temporal diffraction field that threatens to destroy the universe. The only way to stop it is for the present ship to destroy itself in the Sun. Before they go on their suicide mission, the present crew transfers Fry back to the past crew, thus saving him.
Later, Space Mushrooms with amnesia rays wiped out everyone's recollection of what happened (man, my fake non-episode was better than the actual episode).
Also, Bergey, the device is called a trapdoor.

erm, right, very nice story and all but there's still nothing to indicate that fry ever got hired again, except of course for the fact that in the next episode he was still working there like nothing happened. sorry for the name of the episode and your trapdoor, it was 4 am when i wrote it.

I think the better question is, why does Bender WANT his old job back?

No jokes about Michelle being manipulative? "Stop analyzing everything with your relentless logic!" "Fate brought us together, and Fate brought us here. "No, you brought us here!" "Whine some more, Fry, I really find that attractive in a man." "Stop standing up for yourself, Fry!" Those aren't jokes?

erm, ok maybe i should watch that episode again =P anyway the first 2 are more like slightly funny fights, she's just trying to be impulsive and do some crazy thing because she "loves him so much" and he always points out the logical side. the last one is hillarious though

The fact that she accuses Fry(!) of relentless logic made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it.
And the fact that she calls his pointing out (in perfect truth!) that it was her fault that they were in a living nightmare as "whining" making him unattractive to her is funny in a black-humor way. I'm sure there are women who seriously use such arguments.

btw, I have a question - right now I'm watching DVD's on a device where I can't easily back up or pause; I've tried twice to figure this out at normal speed but have failed.
Could someone tell me what city the PE ship is flying over when the Prof dumps Fry through the trap door? I can't tell if it's LA or NNY, or some unnamed city betwixt the two.

Maybe you were just too depessed to notice them. I wasn't actually depressed when i watched it =P I just don't really like that part of the episode for some reason, which i thought i could explain but now that you've showed me how funny and entertaining it is i guess i really cant explain it. Shiny: I'm not sure, I always thought it was LA but never tried slowing it down to check, I'll make sure i do next time i watch the episode.
