- Harriette and Rachel's troubled cousin, Clarence, is invited to stay with the Winslows for the weekend. His family in Detroit, apparently had enough of the boy's growing police record. They hope that one stay with them, will help him come to terms with being a person on the law and give up on being a thug. However, Harriette immediately regrets letting him stay with them, especially after she noticed that his "bad-boy" attitude is more than they can handle and he becomes a negative influence on Eddie.
She's not the only one who hates him for the bad boy persona, most of the family and Steve hates Clarence too. Especially after he first met him and tells Eddie how he truly feels about him. He thinks that he won't amount to anything because he's not cool and is going nowhere in life being a thug. Then, Urkel tries to warn his mother to get inside quickly because of his killer bee experiment.
During the evening, Mother Winslow stays with the kids as Eddie and Clarence asks for the family car from Carl, for their joyride to pick up girls. Unfortunately, he refuses and tells them to stay away from it. He, Harriette and Rachel leave for dinner and the boys pondered what to do next. Undaunted, Clarence decides to find a car for the joyride more suitable for them, since he believes that the family car would only pick up old women. Later on in the Kitchen, Eddie is working on a puzzle when Steve shows up and invites him to go to the conservatory for the annual BYOB(Bring your own Binoculars) night.
It isn't long before Clarence shows up in the kitchen and brings Eddie and Urkel in the garage with a Porsche full of pretty girls named Oneisha and Halawna. He immediately invites both boys along for the ride, claiming that he just borrowed the car from the owner and will immediately return it when they're done. Eddie's willing to go, but Steve refuses to budge and warns him to think about the consequences ahead if he goes with him on the joyride. Eddie ignores Urkel's warning and goes in the car with the girls, citing that he's lonrly and wants female comapnionship. Then, Clarence takes a reluctant Steve with them so he can't tell Carl the truth about what happened. Urkel protests to his abrupt hostage situation, but Eddie reassures him that his cousin knows what he's doing and enjoy the ride. However, Steve's warning against going on the joyride with him was best heeded. Especially, after the police quickly put the joyride to an end because Clarence stole the Porsche! The boys winds up at the precinct and they're photographed for possible charges of grand auto theft by the owner of the Porsche.
At the Winslow house, Carl is infuriated with Clarence for bringing Eddie and Steve into his scheme, knowing that he was bad news. He tells Harriette that her relatives in Detroit made a terrible mistake in letting him come to Chicago and he should've been locked up in the first place. Of course, Laura tries to calm him down, but she's sent to her room by her parents. Minutes later, Lt.Murtaugh shows up with Eddie and Clarence at the house. Imeediately, he tells Carl that after he dropped Steve off at the Urkel house, his parents weren't too thrilled to have him back at their house early. Especially, because they're still upset at him for his failure in warning them to keep clear of his bee experiment and were even forced to call off their poker night to discipline him. He tells him that he convinced the owner not to press charges them if he lectures both Eddie and Clarence about their actions. Once Lt.Murtaugh leave, Carl starts his lecture on her cousin in his usual rageful manner and wanted to throttle him. However, Harriette convinces him to let her deal with her cousin and he deals with their son. She also mentions if he should kill soneone, make sure it's their closest relative. Carl agrees and orders Eddie to get in the kitchen immediately. He goes into the kitchen with his father, leaving Clarence to face her in the living room. Harriette immediately lectures him on his attitude and how it has a negative impact on her son and forcibly bringing Steve into the mix. She tells him that he's not cool because of his bad boy persona and real cool people actually knows their limits. However, he shows no remorse for his actions and continued blaming everyone else for his own problems. Harriette is so disgusted with his arrogant attitude, that she kicks him out of her house! Then she tells Clarence, that she's called his grandmother back in Detroit and tells him that she'll be expecting him when he comes home. He coldly tells her that he doesn't need her nor anyone else to tell him how he should live his life and goes upstairs to pack his stuff.
At least Eddie is remorseful for his participation in Clarence's scheme. He even admitted that he wasn't very cool when they got arrested and handcuffed. Even though, the car owner has agreed to drop the charges against him and Carl has forgiven him for what happened. However, it doesn't mean he'll let his son off that easy. He tells his son that not only he's grounded again for two months, but he'll have to serve his community service hours by delivering meals to elderly shut-ins for the next year on the Meals on Wheels Program no matter how good or bad the weather is. Eddie heads off to bed, as Harriette comes into the kitchen. Carl ask her how did things go between her and Clarence. Harriette reveals to him that her lecture with her cousin was horrible, because he arrogantly refused to see the error of his ways and has showed how remoreless he was for his actions, by continuing to blame everyone else for his own problems. She also informs him that she had to send Clarence back to Detroit to live with his grandmother because his parents has refused to have any future involvement with him should he refused to stop being on the wrong side of the law. However, she's glad that Eddie's nothing like him and has learned that he's not as cool as he thought he'd be when they first met.
Steve tells Laura about his experiences being in jail with Eddie and Clarence, but she shoves him out the house and tells him to go back to the Urkel house.
