That's not what either chart shows. The upswing predates the pandemic, I'm not sure the stimulus is accounted for in household income (it would be small if it was), but it's not accounted for in wages.

Stimulus would not be small. It was a powerful antipoverty program. The graphic only goes to 2022. Real median family income today is about $77,300. It's well above 2018. Not quite as high as peak of 2019 but well above 2020.
