The Urkel Who Came to Dinner is the 22nd episode of the third season of the hit American sitcom, Family Matters. The show centers around the Winslow family, a middle-class African-American family living in Chicago, and their quirky neighbor, Steve Urkel, who often finds himself getting into both comedic and heartwarming situations with the family.
In this episode, the Winslows are preparing to have a fancy dinner party in honor of their visiting cousin, Clarence. However, the plans quickly go awry when Steve Urkel shows up unannounced. With his clumsy nature and tendency to cause chaos, the Winslows are none too thrilled to have him as an additional dinner guest.
As the dinner party gets underway, Steve's presence proves to be more trouble than even the Winslows could have anticipated. From accidentally spilling wine all over the tablecloth to nearly burning down the house while trying to help in the kitchen, it seems as though Steve can't do anything right.
Despite the chaos he causes, Steve is determined to make himself useful and to impress the Winslows with his culinary skills. He decides to whip up a dessert for the dinner party, but things quickly take a turn when he accidentally mixes up some potentially dangerous ingredients.
As tensions rise and the drama unfolds, the Winslows must band together to clean up the messes that Steve has made and to salvage the dinner party. With a combination of humor, heart, and some unexpected moments, The Urkel Who Came to Dinner is a classic episode that showcases why Family Matters was such a beloved show during its eight-season run.
