Season 1 In A Jam episode


In a season 1 episode, (In A Jam), Urkel is being tortured by a huge bully named Bull who bullies him into taking his lunch money. Urkel stands up to him, but is promised a severe beating for doing so. Eddie ponders whether or not to protecting Urkel. I think Carl gave him some good advice when he talked about the importance of defending people who can't fairly defend themselves, even mentioning that helping people out who can't stick up for themselves is one of the things that inspired him to be a police officer.

If this had been a later season episode, Steve would have just turned into Bruce Lee Urkel, the alter ego Steve turns into when he confronts a bully or group of bullies. Then again, the In A Jam episode is when Steve was just a minor character and his alter egos weren't a focal point of the show at that point in time.
