Everyone then showers the nerd with gratitude, and Eddie, Laura and Waldo are inspired to learn CPR. Laura oversleeps on the morning of a huge cheerleading competition in Cincinnati and gets Urkel to drive her there. When Laura causes the nerd's BMW Isetta to break down, the two are forced to share a hotel room. Laura, however, thought of the accusations as annoying, and tried—not always successfully—to ignore them. Much to Ted’s dismay, Urkel was constantly putting himself between them — going as far as wearing a disguise — so that he could “chaperone their dates. Urkel and Waldo, concerned for their friend, try to talk Eddie down, but all three of their lives are soon endangered when the fire escape begins to give way. Eddie becomes despondent when he learns that Oneshia is two-timing him. Meanwhile, Carl recruits Urkel to read Harriette's diary after he becomes suspicious that she has feelings for another man.
At a high-rise party, he goes onto the fire escape to sort his emotions out ... and considers suicide. Ted realized that his cousin Myra likes brainy guys, and suggested that they set her up with Steve in an attempt to get him out of the way. In the relationship sense, Carl buys a used police car at auction, hoping a restoration project will be the key to bonding with Eddie. Carl might unwittingly get his wish after Waldo screws up the invitations to Eddie's house party (set for another weekend, when his folks were to be out of town).
Meet Stefan Urquelle, whom immediately melts Laura's heart. She felt he was a joke, and liked Steve just the way he was. Carl nearly fatally shocks himself when he refuses to heed Urkel's advice to unplug a lamp while repairing it. When Ted and Laura become tired of Urkel interfering in their relationship, they decide to set him up with a girlfriend of his own - the beautiful Myra Monkhouse. When Urkel decides to at least try to have a relationship with Myra, she sees Laura as competition and tells her to bug off. Meanwhile, a sleep-famished Laura is determined to study for her SATs and get into Harvard Law School, so she gets Urkel to stand in for her while she sneaks off to the library. Myra was introduced during the show's fourth season as a potential love interest for Steve Urkel. Steve reluctantly accepted what he assumed would be a dull blind date, but was pleasantly surprised when he found out that Myra was as intelligent as she was beautiful. But Eddie wants his project partner to be Waldo instead, causing Harriette to set her son straight. Meanwhile, Carl feels he has lost his romantic touch and invests in a toupee. Myra goes to Urkel's school for a visit, and later accuses Laura of trying to steal him away. A slick-talking college recruiter tries to woo Eddie to his college for his basketball skills (and certainly not his meager academic credentials).
After Eddie causes a classroom prank that could get him thrown off the basketball team, he gives a sob story to his teacher, claiming he has a bad home life. Meanwhile, Maxine can only shake her head as Waldo acts like, well, Waldo.
