Synopsis[]
Steve Webster
Steve is thrilled when he thinks Rachel—who is actually dating a loan officer also named Steve—has a crush on him. That is until he realizes that he must remain true to his love for Laura.
Plot[]
Rachel opens up Rachel's Place, the new teen hangout (in place of the burned-out Leroy's). She also has her eye on her loan officer, Steve Webster, then begins talking about him around the house. Urkel overhears Rachel's conversation about treating Webster to a candlelight dinner... and jumps to the conclusion that Rachel has her eye on him. Urkel dons his best threads and although Rachel is flattered, she finds she needs to clear up this misunderstanding.

Goofs[]
- About midway, Steve enters the house, saying "Hi, big guy." After Richie's "Hi!" joke, Steve, realizing they were still going, bent down preparing to give his next line. His mouth was closed in the wide shot, but it was open when they cut to the close-up of Steve.
