Similar to this but instead of dating the daughter of the family something valuable in the house goes missing. Naturally, the family suspects the reformed young man but in the end it turns out the neighbor borrowed it and forgot to return it. The family is guilt ridden and apologetic as the young man gives a heartwarming speech about how hard it is too not have people who believe in him

Just remembered another plot similar to the visiting aunt:
Pops old friend from back in the day comes to visit! Pops is as happy as can be, smiling like a teenager again and reliving old memories, and best of all the kids love him instantly. He starts telling all kinds of stories bout the crazy fukkery he and pops used to get into that the kids can hardly even believe pops was capable of.
But mom is cautious and resentful, just kinda fake smiling in his face and barely hiding her contempt. Throughout the episode she keeps pestering pops about how irresponsible and shady he is but him and the kids keep blowing her off as being a wet blanket, and the homie cracks a few jokes at her laugh it all off. But eventually, it comes to light that his homie really is visiting to try to scam or mooch off on dude, and now pops has to stand up and cut his old friend off because he's passed him by while breh is in his 2nd childhood and has become a bum. And then he has to apologize to his wife for dismissing her and she's like "I get it, I get it...but y'see I'm always right

The random doppelgänger who looks like someone in the main cast while that character is away. The doppelgänger causes mischief causing the cast to hate the real one, then the real character pops up and now they have to choose who’s the real one

A character accidently smashes his sister's volcano / science project/ whatever and spends the whole episode trying to replace it.

Can’t move with me in this digital space
A character accidentally eavesdrops on a conversation and only hears a small part missing all context.
To go on a date with a girl the nerd gets a makeover and acts like a cool guy, end of the episode he drops the act and finds out he was good the way he was all along. Most times he doesn't get the girl at the end anyway.
The slacker/cool character gets his responsibileness challenged. Cue a montage of them waking up early and doing difficult tasks. At end of it turns out the other person just doesn't like them and doesn't give them the job. Family sticks up for slacker/cool character

VOTE!!!
A character is moving away for some reason (parents sold the house, whatever) but somehow everyone is convinced to stay in that small ass town by the end of the episode.
same premise but it sounds like someone is dying, so everyone thinks that person is dying so they're extra nice and being very giving...person ens up taking advantage of everyones kindness and eventually tells them the full context out of guilt

Abbott Elementary just did this one: the wacky annoying character has an epiphany and becomes a responsible, mature adult, and if theyvhad a vice they gave that up too. Everything is cool at first, but they start becoming either so unbearable or so boring (or both) that the rest of the cast eventually tries to make them relapse back into their old shytty selves
That big-ass hole they made in the walls
Jamie: (sees the hole) Man, what's up with y'all gettin your Shawshank on?!!?!
Cube: Oh, it's cool, Mack 10 used to be an architect back in the hood.
Jamie:
Mack 10: (to Jamie) You know The Forum in Inglewood?
That's all me, homie.
