So, haters & Lovers unite: Steven Q. Urkel – The Icon – gets a (sorta, but not really) date with Laura in this Episode. She runs out of the house crying as Harriette talks to her. Eddie was glad Steve used his mathematical abilities in this manner, as Urkel managed to win them $32,000, only to have the gambling den be raided by the police.

SIDE NOTE 8: I should also point out that Tyrone loves him some music: not once has he removed his 80’s-headset:Tyrone & Eddie leave, but Urkel stays, cuz Fuck Harriette (and Laura, too…in 9 years). Steve loves the Winslows like they were his real family, and whether through kindness, persistence or force, he is seen working tirelessly to become as much a part of their lives as a genuine family member.
