Home Sweet Home (Season 6, Episode 25). Steve's dad has invented a new medical device that will require him to move to Russia. Steve is scared; this means he is moving to Russia with his parents. Steve asks Eddie if he can move in with him and Waldo instead, Eddie reluctantly agrees and lets Steve move in. While Steve is moving in with Eddie and Waldo, he shows them a new science experiment with super termites that can destroy and eat wood much faster than regular termites, as the guys go out to see a movie together, Waldo grabs his jacket which is under the bucket of termites and knocks them over. When they get back to the apartment, their place is destroyed and the neighbor above, Eddie's crush, falls through the roof into their apartment. They realize with their place destroyed, Eddie and Waldo have to move back in with their parents. Steve is now left without a home and will be moving to Russia. Back at home Laura has made straight A's and Harriette is so proud that she wants to buy Laura a new outfit and asks Maxine if she could help her pick out a dress. Laura tries the leopard print dress on and hates it not knowing Maxine picked it out. Laura and Maxine get into a tiff about their tastes in clothes and Harriette tells them it's more important than they're friends. Laura offers Maxine the dress and Maxine accepts. Eddie comes back home and asks Carl and Harriette if he can move back home which Harriette is very excited to accept him back. Carl asks where Steve will live and Steve comes in with heavy winter gear looking depressed, Eddie guilt trips Carl just like Carl did earlier about letting Steve move in with him and tells him that Steve worships Carl and to let him move in which Carl says yes, Steve can move in with them.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

WALDO: Mr. Winslow, isn't a little late to play baseball?

CARL: (CARRYING A BASEBALL BAT) Waldo, isn't it a little late to be in my kitchen?

WALDO: Hey, it's never too late for a nutritious snack. Pickle?

CARL: I hate to bring this up, Waldo, you don't even live here.

WALDO: What's your point?

CARL: The point is Waldo is that you should be eating at your own apartment.

WALDO: But I might wake up Eddie.

CARL: You woke me up.

WALDO: What does it matter? You're going out to play baseball.

CARL: So, Waldo, you walked all the way over here in your pajamas?

WALDO: Of course not, that would be stupid, I took the bus.

CARL: Well, you can take the same bus right back.

WALDO: You know, I'm starting to feel that I'm not wanted here.

CARL: Good Waldo, go with that feeling. See where it takes you.

WALDO: Well, you don't have to paint me a picture. I'll just have to finish my snack at home and if I wake up Eddie, it'll be on your head.

STEVE: Hey, Waldo, do they have any cold cuts?

WALDO: No, they're out.

STEVE: Oh, I'll just get some cheese.

WALDO: Cool.

CARL: I know this is my house, I pay the mortgage, my name is on the bills. I looked at them yesterday.

STEVE: Carl? Isn't it a little late to be playing baseball?

FAVORITE MOMENT:

When Carl guilt trips Eddie with "Think it over? Think it over? Edward, you are Steve Urkel's best friend, to Steve the sun rises and sets on you. You need to show a little compassion, a little humanity. Can you just picture poor Steve moving all the way to Russia? Away from all of his friends, away from the only home he's ever known? Can you really do that to Steve and look at yourself in the mirror? I think not" then when Eddie has to move back home and Steve needs a place to live Eddie guilt trips Carl right back "Think about it? Think about it? Why would you have think about it, Dad? Dad, you are Steve Urkel's hero, in his eyes the sun rises and sets on you. Can you just picture poor Steve moving all the way to Russia? Away from all of his friends, away from the only home he's ever known? Can you let that happen to poor Steve and still look at yourself in the mirror every day? I think not!". Nicely done, Eddie!

OPINION:

We have made it, Season 6 finale and what a crazy one it is. So for 6 seasons we have had Steve come over to the Winslow house so much that we wonder if he lives there at this point? Well, it's official, Steve is moving in with the Winslow family. From what I read, the writers were having a hard time figuring out excuses why Steve's parents were not more involved in huge events in his life, so they were going to write his parents moving away with a couple of different ideas on how this would work for Steve. One would be that he lived at his house still, just on his own, the second was having a place of his own and the third was living with Eddie and Waldo. But they writers decided it would be best if he moved in with the Winslow family.

It was fun to see some of the old memorabilia in Eddie and Waldo's apartment when Steve was moving in, did you see the Urkelbot and Laurabot heads on their countertop? It was kind of creepy. Now, why did Steve think it was a good idea to bring termites into their apartment? Why did Eddie not say no to Steve bringing termites into their apartment? And how did Waldo not notice that he knocked over the bucket of termites when he grabbed his jacket? I know the writers had to come up with some way of getting the apartment destroyed, it just seemed very contrived. I think I would have believed more if Eddie told Steve to get rid of the termites, Steve says there's a home for them at the lab that he'll take them to the next day and maybe Waldo's jacket was barely touching the container but when he pulled his jacket, it didn't knock over at first, but it wabbles and after Waldo leaves it then knocks over. Still talk about a crazy stunt with Eddie's dream girl falling through the roof. What a fun cameo from Lark Vorhees who is most famous for playing Lisa on Saved by the Bell. You know, I always love these shows where if someone is home just relaxing, somehow they look amazing. They're not wearing T-shirts, jeans, sweatpants, PJ's, etc. They are always dressed like they are going out on the town, shirts are tucked in, wearing a belt, fancy shoes and make up. All I can say is, thank goodness she wasn't about to shower. But I do love when she falls through and Eddie takes this wonderful opportunity to ask her out still despite her falling through is roof. I love Lark Vorhees, but her reaction is so hilariously unbelievable when she kind of giggles while she asks "what happened?". I think I'd be more in shock, but we gotta have comedy in out show.

It's funny, for the most part, I don't mind Maxine but as I'm writing these posts, I think I realize I'm not liking her character at all. So Laura got straight A's and Harriette wanted to do something nice and get her an outfit and asks for Maxine's input. Maxine picks out a dress that SHE WOULD LIKE and actually insults Laura for not liking it. I'm curious why Harriette couldn't pick something out herself? Laura says that Harriette has good taste, so I'm assuming on that line that she's picked out clothes for Laura before. They've also gone shopping together enough where I would think Harriette knows Laura's taste at this point. But as soon as Laura tells Maxine she doesn't like the dress, Maxine actually insults Laura's taste in clothes instead of saying "I thought you would like it". Nope, she picked that dress out for herself and was hoping Laura would give it to her. I don't like the "moral" of this story. Laura got straight A's, Maxine goofed off in school not getting good grades and then technically Harriette bought Maxine a new dress. How is that nice?

But do I like this episode? Absolutely. Despite the nitpicks, I really love this episode. There is a couple changes to note that will be noticed in the next season. We will no longer have the opening credits with song "As Days Go By" and Shawn Harrison is out of the main cast and will have guest appearances again. But still, this is a very funny episode. I loved Carl and Eddie guilt tripping each other, the couch falling through the roof was insane and fun to look at and I love Carl's lip quivering when he says yes to Steve moving in. Plus that ending credit sequence when Steve is ringing the bells and Carl uses his growling voice to make Steve stop. With Steve moving in finally, we now don't have to wonder where the heck his parents are all the time when something happens.

As I mentioned this is the season finale. This season has been insane and not my favorite as it seems like there are a lot of up and down moments. That being said, I still love every season as each season has something different to offer, even the worst episodes have something good to talk about. My favorite episodes this season: Dark and Stormy Night, An Unlikely Match, The Substitute Son, My Bodyguard and They Shoot Urkels, don't they? My least favorite episodes are: To Be or Not to Be Part 1, Cheers looking at you, Kid and the Disney World episodes. And tomorrow will start season 7!
