- Urkel's trip to rouge dentist Dr. Smiley (to reassure a scared Richie) takes a back seat to a terrifying racial profiling incident involving Eddie. He comes home claiming that a traffic stop for a turn signal violation turned out to be much more when the officers accuse him of being "a black person in a white person's neighborhood." Carl is certain Eddie is trying to cover up for more late-night carousing, but when he gets the other side of the story from the officers involved, he learns the whole ugly incident exactly matches Eddie's side. Carl is very angry and, after telling the senior officer he will be reported, tells the younger officer to re-examine his attitudes. Carl then realizes he needs to apologize to Eddie.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
- Laura and Steve are watching Shai perform in their music video, when she fantisizes having them perform in her living room. She's excited at first, but is horrified to see Urkel's face on their faces. She screams and runs up the stairs into her room.
Carl is excited that the Bears won and both Eddie and Waldo celebrate with him. Later on Waldo spills the beans about his speeding ticket. Carl is upset and has warned Eddie about his late-night carousing before.
Meanwhile, Laura and Urkel are studying in the kitchen when Richie comes in with his PJs on. He's nervous about his upcoming dental check up as Laura tries to convince him there's nothing bad about it. Steve convinces Richie to let him come along to show him there's nothing bad about a dental check up and promises him ice cream afterwards.
The next day, Carl asks Harriette to go get him some pie. Mother Winslow tells him to get it himself and calls him a lazy slug. Minutes later, Eddie comes home and tells them that he got arrested for a traffic violation. When he was asked why, he says he was the victim of racial profiling by a pair of overzealous patrolmen. Carl refuses to accept his son's story of how he was "a black kid in a white person's neighborhood", assuming that he was making up more lies to cover up for another late-night carousing and a huge argument ensures. Eddie is hurt that he doesn't believe him and leaves, citing that the worst thing that ever happened in his life was not having his own father believe him. Once he leaves, Harriette and Mother Winslow both convince Carl to just see it for himself and get the story from the two Caucasian cops, before he makes further judgement against Eddie.
The next day, the friendly and rogue Dr.Smiley gives the good news to Richie about his teeth being in excellent condition and gives him cinnamon dental floss. He leaves as Steve requested to have the dentist check his teeth, claiming he takes good care of it. Dr.Smiley sees otherwise and notices a cavity on one of his teeth. Knowing Urkel will try to squrim, he uses laughing gas. It has an adverse effect as Steve goes bonkers laughing and preventing him from doing his job.
Later on, Carl sees the two white officers at a coffee shop and decides to get their side of the story. What he finds out is the ugly truth (like Eddie explained) and he's very upset about what happened. The senior officer, Jack Evans has revealed himself as a severe racist, which angers him further. Immediately, he and Carl get into a heated arguement about him harrassing his son because "he was a black kid who was in a white neighborhood" by racially profilling him. The senior officer tells him they wouldn't be there unless they were looking for trouble. Carl is irate and annoyed with Evans so much that he threatens to report him to his precinct by filing a complaint and having him investigated. The senior officer challenges him to do so, but it's still his word against Eddie's. Before Officer Evans leaves, Carl tells him off about what he did was wrong and that he thinks he's a slimeball who doesn't deserve his badge. The senior officer is upset and insulted by his comment that he leaves. Carl asks his rookie partner, Officer Kenny Carmichael to stay a bit. He asks about why he joined the police force, since they put themselves on the line and never got credit for it. The rookie officer revealed he loved helping his community out by making a difference and says the good guys against the bad guys. Carl likes his reasons that he thinks he's both a good guy and a cop. However, he urges Carmichael to re-evaluate his actions and attitude as a warning to him because Evans ended up revealing himself as a bad guy for being a racist and he doesn't want him to end up like his partner did. The younger cop agrees to re-evaluate his actions as Carl leaves a tip and walks out the door.
In the Winslow's living room, Eddie is still upset about what happened when Carl comes home and apologizes for not believing him sooner. He explains that he was a cop and he needed to get their side of the story first before believing him. Eddie understands as his father tells him they'll file a report in the morning. He's upset and demanded that the senior officer should pay for his mistreatment towards him and will never forgive him for racially profiling him for something he didn't do. Carl understands his anger, but he convinces him there's two ways to deal with anger: hold on it it and let it eat him up inside or he can give it a voice and make a difference in his life. He even admitted he's been down that road, but he always gave his anger a voice and it was that reason why he became a cop. Eddie realises that Carl was right and agrees to file a complaint against the senior officer, Jack Evans.
In the end credits, Steve had arrived to the Winslow home and give Laura a note. His note reads due to what happened at Dr.Smiley's Dental Office and was given laughing gas to calm his nerves. During his check up, he went bonkers by getting a drill stuck to his mouth and as a result he's unable to speak. It also mentions with a recent surgery that was done to one of his teeth, he has to rest and won't be coming by for a few weeks. Laura feigns sympathy for him. Once Urkel leaves, she's excited and parties.
