Synopsis[]

Myra begins her attack on the Steve Urkel-Laura Winslow relationship with the help of her "Stevie-Glasses-Cam" (placed on the bridge of Steve's glasses unbeknownst to him) and enlists the help of Stefan Urquelle to try to spoil an upcoming Saturday night date. When Stefan sees her Steve themed room he ask her if she’s ever seen Fatale Attraction because it’s about her. She eventually convinces Stefan to help her ruin Steve’s date with Laura by painting a picture of the two of them making out in the living room of the home they share. Stefan agrees to return with Laura to the Winslow’s home on the night of his date with her at a specified time.

Carl tries to show a trigger-happy Eddie a lesson in good judgment during police training. He uses a cardboard picture of Laura as part of the training and Eddie accidentally shoots it. He is horrified when Carl mentions that he just shot a cardboard picture of his sister. Eddie also realizes how his lack of gun control could have negative consequences if he were to accidentally shoot an innocent bystander in his attempt to apprehend a felon. Hence, he resolves to learn gun control and good judgment, making Carl proud of him.

On Saturday night, Myra and Stefan put their plan into action. While Laura is out on a date with Stefan, she tries to seduce Steve with polka music and cheese. He doesn't give in to temptation that easily and tries to get away from her, reminding Myra that they're over and never getting back together. When Stefan comes in with Laura, she is horrified to see Steve kissing Myra and leaves for her room. Myra smiles in victory but Stefan seems to regret his actions.

In the end credits while Myra is spying on Steve, he asks to talk to Laura. Viewing this, Myra's hoping for Laura to tell him to go away but she’s frustrated when Laura allows Steve to talk to her and explain what happened. He explains that Myra tried to seduced him that night with polka music and cheese he reacted with his hormones. Laura says she understands because Myra is a pretty girl. She then tells Steve that seeing him kiss Myra also made her realize she wants to give their relationship a real chance. Myra watches as Steve and Laura agree to another date and vows to ruin it.
