Episodes that surprized you - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What are some episodes of Family Matters that really surprized you a lot when you saw them? Here are some of mine.

The Return Of Myrtle Urkel in Season 7: It had been 5 years since the Myrtle charachter was on the show, I never thought I would see her again.

The return of Aunt Oona in Season 8: Aunt Oona was another charachter who I figured would only be a one time guest. I was surprize to see her return, and also surprized at the amount of weight she had put on.

The episode in the 9th Season when Eddie decides to be a Cop: After his reaction towards being a police officer in that Season 2 episode. This really took me by surprize. I never pictured Eddie as the Cop type. In fact I always saw him and his father (Carl) as exact opposites.

The Prom episode from Season 7 when Steve and Laura kissed: This is something that I never ever thought would happen and it did. I remember how Happy I was for Steve when I saw this. I even cheered out loud.

I would also have to say the episode in season 6 when Rachel suddenly reappears.

Stefan's first appearance.

The Christmas episode in season 9 when they finally explained Rachel's disappearance.

The transformation chamber, urk-pad, and all of those other inventions that I never would have expected to see on FM.

Another one that surprized me is the one when Maxine and Waldo got together. I never pictured the 2 of them as a potential couple.

Yeah in the season 9 Christmas episode, Harriette told Richie that Aunt Helen from Detroit was feeling better and she will be able to come for Christmas. Then it was a blizzard and Rachel called and said she could not come because her flight was cancelled. So Eddie drove all the way to Detroit to go get Rachel so she could spend Christmas with Richie and the Winslows.

I havn't seen that eps for a while why was she in Detroit exactly?

I guess Rachel was in Detroit caring for the sick aunt. Harriette said that Aunt Helen was feeling better so she can come for Christmas. That is all that was said.

It sounded like an allright explination. But it seemed rather odd that Rachel had been taking care of the same sick Aunt on and off again for 4 years. I mean don't you think she'd want to return to her son, or at least have him come with her after a while?

You have a point but that explanation is certainly better than none. It drove me crazy how they went through seasons 5, 7 and 8 without explaining where Rachel was. Also when Rachel came back in season 6 for a couple of episodes you did not know where she was the entire season prior. The Winslows were raising Richie and none of the characters even mentioned his own mother like she did not even exist. You would think Richie would talk about missing his mother or they even could have written in Rachel calling him at least once in one of those seasons.
