It's been a week since Steve got kidnapped by Myra and today was the day that Steve was testifying against her for kidnapping him.

Steve wore a gray suit with a red necktie, brown belt and brown loafers. He decided to act as his own lawyer because he wanted to stand up for himself.

Myra entered the courtroom wearing a navy blue skirt suit with a matching blazer and heels, her hair was tied in a bun and her makeup was natural but had red lipstick on her lips.

Mr. and Mrs. Monkhouse sat in front row of the seats where the Winslows and the Urkels were sitting and they were very embarrassed for what Myra had done.

"The Cook County Criminal Court is now in session. The honorable James Griffin presiding. All rise." said the bailiff. 

The judge walks into the courtroom, up to his platform, bangs his gavel on the wooden circle and sits down in his chair.

"Be seated." said the judge.

The trial took three hours and finally it was time for the jury to decide Myra's fate.

"Has the jury reached a verdict?" asked the judge.

"We have your honor. We the jury find the defendant Myra Monkhouse guilty of all charges." said the foreman.

All eyes were on Myra after her fate was decided.

"I hereby sentence you to 25 years in Chicago Prison for violating your restraining order and kidnapping Mr. Urkel. Court is adjourned." said Judge Griffin as he banged the gavel on his wooden circle.

Mr. and Mrs. Monkhouse glared at their daughter because they told her that if she got arrested again like last year that they weren't gonna bail her out.

"I'm very sorry Steve." said Myra as she tried to hold back her tears.

Steve gave his ex-girlfriend and kidnapper a icy stare.

"I never want to see you ever again." said Steve as he got up from his seat and went to see his family.

The bailiff put the handcuffs on Myra's wrists and escorted her out of the courtroom.

Laura hugged Steve and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself." said Laura.

"I'm proud of myself to. For the last 4 years I've been pushed around by Myra but I was at a point where enough was enough." said Steve.

"I'm very sorry about what our daughter did to you Steven." said Mrs. Monkhouse.

"It's alright but tell her that when she gets out of jail I hope she finds her own happily ever after." said Steve.

"We'll tell her on visiting day." said Mrs. Monkhouse as she picked up her purse.

The families went their separate ways and left the courtroom.

Jail memory is from Season 9 episode 15 titled Crazier for You Part 2 when Myra gets arrested for setting Laura up for stealing her watch when it was a peace offering and for spying on Steve with illegal spy equipment.
