- Carl drags Eddie along on an ice fishing trip to Lake Wannamuck. Tempers are already on thin ice between the two Winslow men, and their patience grows even shorter when Urkel shows up (and promptly becomes an ace at fishing). But he saves the day when Carl falls through the ice, making a shaken Eddie realize that he easily might no longer have had a father to argue with had things turned out differently. Meanwhile, Judy is upset that Richie is being lavished with attention.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
- Harriette is in the kitchen, spraying her potted plant when Eddie and Carl comes home. Eddie complains that his father needs to get a real snow blower. Carl refuses and cites he doesn't need one when he has his son. Harriette tells Eddie, nice try, but his father is a cheap skate. Carl has plans for a father-son activity with Eddie at the bowling alley, but he refuses and bails. When asked why, Harriette tells him he's getting old and their son is too busy. She suggests that if Carl wants to spend time with Eddie, he needs to haul his butt into gear and plan ahead.
Meanwhile, Judy is jealous of all the attention Richie is getting and decided to make her mother and aunt pay for it by making him look bad in wrecking his penguin costume. In the living room, Harriette us rolling up socks when she notices that some of Eddie's socks are missing. Laura comes down the stairs with her bra stuffed with his socks. Harriette convinces her to let nature take it's course and she'll blossom evenutally. Rachel comes down the stairs with a torn beak from her son's penguin costume. Before she tells Harriette about it, she notices Laura's stuffed bra. She asks if she used Kleenex to stuff her into her bra. Laura admitted she used Eddie's socks and Rachel nods. She tells Laura that her mother once used bean bags when they were growing up. Rachel tells Harriette that she had caught Judy ripping off the beak of Richie's penguin costume. Harriette reveals that she's probably jealous of him because she's no longer the baby of the house. she tells Rachel they need to work it out on their own like they used to. Steve comes, notices Laura's stuffed bra and faints.
In the kitchen, Urkel is fanning himself with a plate when Eddie comes in. When asked why Steve fainted when he saw Laura, he said she was an overnight success story makes him want her more.

At the Winslow house, Richie performs his penguin show with Rachel and Laura likes it, thinking it was cute. Judy was less than thrilled that she complains it's not fair because everyone lavishes him with too much attention just because he's cute and she get's ignore for good things that she does. However, Laura sets her straight by telling her that she was once in their cousin's shoes and she made her jealous by putting all her stuffed dolls in her bed intent on burying her as revenge. She also mentions that there's a lot of advantages to not being the baby of the family: she gets to stay up later, pick out her own clothes and has Richie who looks up to her. Judy never realizes it that way and apologizes to their cousin.
At Lake Wannamuck, Steve's singing about ice fishing until Carl tells him to shut up because that the worst thing that they have to hear.

Steve calls Eddie a wimp, causing him to chase the nerd around. That is until the ice shows sign of weakening and thye're told not to move by Carl. He convinces Urkel to go first because he's the lightest of all three of them and once he's safe, Eddie can go next. Steve moves and makes it to the buoy and so does Eddie since he was the next lightest. Finally it's carl's turn, but he falls through the ice to to his weight.
