Plot
Harriette and Rachel hire a hypnotist to determine why a sleepwalking Urkel has been acting out his continuing pick on Carl. They learn that, during one of his visits, Urkel caused an accident that ruined a model ship Carl had worked 4½ months on. Carl selfishly told Urkel to get lost and leave him alone, then (not knowing Urkel could overhear him) told Laura he wished he'd go away permanently. Carl tries defending his actions, but Harriette and Rachel — in an effort to tell him that words hurt — decide to give him the silent treatment until he apologizes.
