Fry visits his young grandmother whom he'd been introduced to earlier as his grandfather's fiancee, and convincing himself that she can't actually be his grandmother as he is still alive, allows himself to be seduced by her.

The explanation at the end of the show is that Fry has become his own grandfather.

By the laws of genetic relatedness, one might find a paradox here, in that Fry being his own grandfather means his father is both 50 % related to him ( since he is Fry's father ) and 62. 5 % related to him ( since Fry's father is also his son and the son of Fry's grandmother, who's by virtue of being Fry's grandmother, is 25 % related to Fry ).

However, these laws are probabilistic and Fry being his own grandfather is not necessarily a violation of Novikov's principle.

The reason is that while Fry may have obtained 50 % of his SNPs from his father, his grandmother might have been similar enough to him ( his grandfather ) that his father is 62. 5 % related to him.

Fry's distraught grandmother then seduces him, and on returning to his own time, Fry learns that he is his own grandfather.
