    That's no man. That's her snuggle buns!

    This episode is a perfect example of why I have never particularly liked the Myra character. Spying on Steve, and then drawing a naked likeness of him. There was something sick and twisted about that. Laura (she's the best!) got it right when she said: "Girl, you are one sick puppy!" What Myra felt for Steve was an obsession, as opposed to an attraction. In some ways, she made Steve seem normal, by comparison. Steve's love for Laura might have been the only way he was "normal," but this was good! His attraction to Laura was healthy, and Steve seemed more normal because of this. My heading is one amusing line that Myra got to say. The whole "convent" thing was ridiculous, however. Myra was supposedly distraught over Steve dumping her. She joined the convent, not for that reason, but to visit her aunt? Not convincing. Essentially, I loved everything that was Steve and Laura. Steve and Myra didn't resonate.

      Waldo could've shaved his mustache off instead of hiding it under a piece of tape when he's disguised as a nun.
    • Quotes

      Myra Monkhouse: Eddie, Waldo? Why are you guys dressed like that?

      Waldo Geraldo Faldo: Uh, uh isn't this the Zorro audition?

      Steven 'Steve' Quincy Urkel: Myra, your mother told me you came here, so I assumed you're becoming a nun.

      Myra Monkhouse: No, I came to visit my Aunt Monica, she's the Reverend Mother here, now why on earth would I join a convent?
