Step By Stepisode is back with clowns, courthouse chaos, and Carol in crisis. In this episode, Eric and Lainee Hersey break down Step by Step’s seventh episode, "Yo-Yo’s Wedding", where Brendan’s long-awaited birthday party takes a turn when the clown cancels and the Lamberts discover their Jamaican wedding wasn’t legally binding.

Carol wants a meaningful ceremony, Frank wants to eat his burrito, and somehow both a birthday party and wedding get squeezed into one wild Saturday. And when Yo-Yo the clown is a no-show, Frank throws on some flippers, grabs a sock puppet named Mr. Wimpy, and saves the day in full clown attire.

• Who Is Yo-Yo the Clown? – Lainee and Eric investigate the real-life Yo-Yo and her alleged armpit-fart fame
• Courthouse Wedding Woes – Carol just wants something special, but Frank shows up with drywall dust and a ham sandwich
• Famous Courthouse Ceremonies – Eric runs through celebrity couples who said "I do" without the fanfare
• Frank’s Full Clown Commitment – Trash can lids, sock puppets, and clown flippers—Frank goes all in to save Brendan’s birthday
• Makeup-Free Marriage – That wedding kiss should’ve left clown paint all over Carol. Why didn’t it?
• Where’s Mark? – The Herseys notice one suspicious absence and question whether this was an Old Mark or New Mark episode

Because only in Step by Step can a canceled clown and a surprise vow renewal come together in one chaotic afternoon. Eric and Lainee unpack every detail—from the most ridiculous wedding entrance to why Ronald McDonald never showed up at McDonald’s.
