In the fifth season of Family Matters, episode three is titled "Saved by the Urkel." The episode follows the Winslow family as they deal with a particularly difficult house guest. The family is approached by a young boy named Cameron who is hoping to stay with them while his mother is out of town. At first, the Winslow family agrees to take him in, but they quickly realize that Cameron is not exactly what they had in mind.
Cameron is a troublemaker who seems intent on causing chaos wherever he goes. He makes a mess of the house, constantly fights with his new brothers and sisters, and even steals money from Carl's wallet. The Winslow family is at their wit's end trying to deal with Cameron's behavior, and they aren't sure how much longer they can handle it.
Meanwhile, Steve Urkel is trying to impress Laura Winslow with his newest invention, a pair of rocket boots. Despite Laura's initial skepticism, Steve manages to convince her to try the boots on. But when Laura takes off into the sky, she quickly realizes that Steve's invention isn't quite as safe as he thought it was.
As Laura soars through the air, she accidentally crashes into Cameron's bedroom window, interrupting his latest scheme. Cameron is impressed by Laura's superhero antics, and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. Cameron even defends Laura from some bullies at school, proving that he has a kind heart under all of his mischievous behavior.
As the episode comes to a close, Cameron's mother returns home and the family prepares to say goodbye to their difficult house guest. But before he leaves, Cameron has one last trick up his sleeve. He surprises the Winslow family by remodeling their kitchen, something they had been wanting to do for years. The family is blown away by Cameron's kindness and the episode ends on a heartwarming note.
Overall, "Saved by the Urkel" is an entertaining episode full of laughs and heart. The Winslow family faces a difficult challenge in dealing with Cameron, but they eventually learn that everyone deserves a chance to show their true colors. And in true Family Matters fashion, the episode ends with a message of love and acceptance for all.
