1. When did DJ’s husband actually die?
If Tommy Sr.’s Christmas presents — which he hid on Christmas Eve — went undiscovered for several years, does that also mean he died on Christmas Eve? That’s really dark.
2. Did this musical number really happen?
Whereas last season’s big musical number was clearly a figment of Max’s imagination, D.J. and Steve’s traffic-stopping performance might have actually happened — and the proof is in Steve’s pulled hamstring.
3. When did Danny develop teleportation powers?
Are we just going to pretend this didn’t happen? Why didn’t Matt tell anyone about his experience?!
4. Did Stephanie really date a woman?
When Matt’s pet clinic won a major award after only being open for three weeks, Stephanie replied, “I had a girlfriend longer than that.” Candace Cameron Bure tweeted that Jodie Sweetin surprised her with this unscripted line, but since the show kept it in, does that make it canon?
5. Where is Steve Urkel’s grave?
After attending a life transition seminar, Kimmy revealed that she purchased the cemetery plot “next to Urkel.” (Keep in mind that Family Matters and Fuller House exist in the same universe.) But I need to know one thing: If Kimmy lives in San Francisco and Urkel lives in Chicago, where are they both being buried?
6. Is Gia secretly the show’s most interesting character?
7. Has Kimmy never met a gay person before?
In the span of a single scene, Kimmy’s intern Casey referenced a Bravo show, told her she has the “elegance of a flamingo” and left to attend a Broadway spin class — and she still thought he was straight. How does this creative event planner, living in San Francisco in 2018, have no gaydar whatsoever?
8. Is Max destined to become the world’s next great evil?
One of the more curious throughlines of Season 4 was the family’s growing fear of middle child Max.
Danny: This is your big TV debut. It’s funny, I always thought it would be for you falling down a well.
Becky: But if you ever do fall down a well, we’d like the exclusive.
Danny: But don’t fall down a well.
Becky: But if you do, keep us on speed dial.
9. And will Tommy follow in his brother’s footsteps?
It’s also possible that Max is merely a red herring meant to distract us from the show’s true dark origin story, that of little Tommy Jr.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s adorable. But some of his Season 4 outbursts (“Revenge!” and “I’m not a baby!” spring to mind) really rattled me. This kid is plotting something big.
10. What will Jimmy and Stephanie name their daughter?
If I were to get only one of my burning questions answered, it would be this. In the meantime, let’s throw out some options. Michelle? Vicky? Mrs. Carruthers?
