Steve Urkel and the Winslow family are back for another hilarious episode of Family Matters season 5. In this episode, titled "Car Wars," the Winslow's car is stolen, causing chaos in the household.
The episode begins with Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson) parking the family car on the street outside their home. The next morning, he wakes up to find it missing. He immediately calls the police, who inform him that car thefts are common in the area and that they will do their best to recover the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) comes over to the Winslow's house to pick Laura (Kellie Shanygne Williams) up for a date. When he hears about the stolen car, he suggests that they track it down themselves using his latest invention, a device that can detect the car's location based on its emissions.
The Winslow family agrees to help Steve and they set off to look for the stolen car. However, things quickly become complicated when they discover that the thieves have stripped the car for parts and sold it to a chop shop. Steve suggests that they go undercover and pose as mechanics to try and get the car back.
The Winslows are initially hesitant, but they eventually agree to go along with Steve's plan. They disguise themselves as mechanics and head to the chop shop, where they are immediately put to work dismantling cars. However, when they find the remains of their own car, they realize that it's too damaged to salvage.
While they are trying to figure out their next move, the thieves return to the chop shop with another stolen car. The Winslows and Steve decide to confront them and try to take them down. Chaos ensues as the group engages in a high-speed car chase through the streets of Chicago.
In the end, the Winslows and Steve are able to recover the stolen car and apprehend the thieves. They return home, where they are greeted as heroes by the rest of the family. The episode ends on a heartwarming note as the Winslows reflect on the importance of sticking together as a family in difficult times.
