TGIF! Step By Stepisode is back, and this time, things are getting Urkelized! Eric and Lainee Hersey (with special guest Lauren Hersey) break down Step by Step’s second episode, “The Dance,” featuring the ultimate '90s sitcom crossover—Steve Urkel, a jetpack, and a whole lot of snorting.
Urkel crashes into Port Washington (literally) for a science fair, Al deals with some unexpected rejection, and Dana just wants to see Cats but ends up at a cat show instead. Plus, Frank and Carol continue their streak of cringeworthy PDA.
- Urkel Mania Hits TGIF: Why Steve Urkel showed up in Step by Step so early in the season—and how it made zero sense.
- Jetpacks Are Real?: Lainee learns jetpacks actually exist, and Eric fact-checks Urkel’s impossible Chicago-to-Wisconsin flight.
- Al’s Big Moment: Al asks Roger to the dance, gets rejected, and still comes out on top (thanks to one iconic nerd).
- The Urkel Dance Revolution: Yes, we discuss the Urkel Dance in all its pelvis-thrusting, snort-laughing glory.
- Dana’s Cats Catastrophe: Did Dana actually end up at the Wisconsin Cat Show? The world may never know.
- 90s Fashion Watch: Hideous dresses, suspenders, and the unexplained cookie plate that keeps moving in Carol’s kitchen.
Because if Urkel can fly a jetpack two hours across the Midwest, you can take 40 minutes to relive this absurd, wonderful moment in '90s sitcom history. Whether you love TGIF nostalgia or just want to hear Eric, Lainee, and Lauren overanalyze childhood classics, this episode is for you.
