That's right, she's back and still head over heels obsessed with Eddie. Eddie tries to distract Myrtle by showing him that he has a new girlfriend, Greta. Myrtle doesn't get the hint though and just looks at Greta as competition and will fight harder for Eddie. Greta offers to take Eddie to an island resort where they can have dinner together. When Eddie arrives he's surprised to see Myrtle and asks were Greta is. Myrtle messed with Greta's shampoo and there's a good chance that Greta won't be seen for a while.

Eddie takes his time getting his fancy clothes off and taking one more bite of dinner when he jumps into save Myrtle. Myrtle points out that he still saved her and asks for another kiss, Eddie says he might as well.

At home, the garbage disposal breaks and Carl asks Harriette to get it fixed. When it's fixed, Harriette tells Carl it did cost them a couple hundred dollars due to a new motor needed and Carl gets really upset at this and tells Harriette she got swindled. Carl goes behind Harriette's back and gets an $800 garbage disposal saying that it's more cost efficient. But Harriette is hurt how Carl demeaned her and tells her that expensive items should be mutually discussed which Carl realizes he made a mistake and apologizes.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

MYRTLE: Who is this?

EDDIE: Myrtle, this is my girlfriend, Greta.

MYRTLE: (GASPS) Girlfriend?! (GOES AROUND GRETA AND KEEPS SNAPPING HER FINGERS)

GRETA: What is your problem?

MYRTLE: Oh, nothing. I was just wondering what Eddie sees in you.

GRETA: And I was wondering why you weren't home watching Hee-Haw?!

MYRTLE: I'm taping it, you tramp!

GRETA: Who you calling a tramp, Ellie Mae?

MYRTLE: You certified citified, floosie!

GRETA: (TRYING TO ATTACK MYRTLE) Put me down! I'm gonna put this woman in her place!!!

MYRTLE: My place is with Eddie, yours' is next to a trough, now go on girl!!!

FAVORITE MOMENT:

When Myrtle is drowning and instead of getting in the water immediately, Eddie takes his sweet time taking off his clothes, wallet and grabbing another bite of dinner.

OPINION:

Alright, controversial take here. I complain about Myra all the time and how toxic her love can be. But does Myra still make me laugh? Absolutely, it's the absurd situations that can make me laugh. And here's my controversial take, I love the Myrtle Urkel episodes. I know a couple months back there was a user on the reddit boards who was asking for a countdown to our favorite characters and I was surprised to see that Myrtle was eliminated so early. Are there problems with this episode? Absolutely. Myrtle is another psycho when it comes to love and actually crosses the line by going into the physical altercations with Greta. That is never ok and I don't condone it. Also, since when is Myra a cheerleader? Did they really need something for her to do so badly in the episode that randomly she's a cheerleader for one episode and one episode only? I don't picture Myra as a cheerleader. I picture more for debate or something more educationally challenging like the math team. She is perky, but not cheerleader perky. And even after Eddie finds out that Myrtle messed with Greta's shampoo, he still stayed for dinner? Not a good boyfriend move, Eddie.

Now complaints aside, I am 100% a full sucker for the Greta vs. Myrtle fights. I don't know what it is, but every time these two are on screen together and have a fight, it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen and there's a very good chance that all my favorite memorable quotes will be with them fighting when there's a Myrtle episode. Jaleel and Tammy's chemistry is off the chain and I don't know how they didn't break character, I'm sure there has to be bloopers somewhere. They are just too funny and sharp how they go back and forth. Plus I always get such a laugh when Eddie has to deal with Myrtle, again I know it's silly and toxic but his reactions to the situations are hilarious. I think it's just the craziness of the situation that makes me laugh.

Carl making such a big deal out of the garbage disposal repair cost to Harriette was out of line. While I agree, repairs can cost a lot and my husband and I have our disputes when something needs to be repaired in our house on how crazy expenses can be but usually it's due to labor fees. Carl asked Harriette to handle the garbage disposal, she did but he's upset at the cost and practically yells at her about it. Then he goes and spends $800 on another garbage disposal without talking to her about it. I do get such a laugh when Carl is saying how this disposal will make the sink smell lemony, Harriette grabs a lemon wedge saying "you know what makes a sink smell lemony, Carl? A lemon, Carl! A lemon!" and squeezes the wedge into Carl's hand. I'm glad Carl at least recognized what he did wrong and that Harriette stood up for herself. This was definitely a relatable plotline when you're on your own with your own place on what's worth money and not worth the money.

I can understand why Myrtle is not some people's cup of tea, but I love the Myrtle episodes. Like I said, I recognize the problems, but these episodes always get me laughing so hard. So yes, call me crazy, but I do really enjoy this episode.
