But to the rest of the characters on the show, Urkel’s miracles are treated like annoying everyday occurrences. We never see someone at the end of the episode go “Steve, maybe if you work the kinks out of your machine that turns anybody into Bruce Lee you can sell it to the military and make a fortune.” It’s as if the other characters are purposely turning a blind eye to all the fricked up things he’s able to do.

Later when Steve proposes to Laura, she accepts because she can’t imagine her life without him. So how did Laura come to that conclusion? Earlier she asked Harriet why she married Carl, and Harriet said it was because she couldn’t imagine her life without him.

But it wasn’t the same Harriet we had known all along. It was a completely different looking woman who everybody had just been accepting as Harriet Winslow for the past few weeks. Could Steve have used his powers to change the Winslow matriarch into a woman who would say just the right thing to make Laura fall in love with him?
