Personal Storyline

While preparing for the Middleton Days event that will be happening on the coming weekend, Ron - dressed up as pickle mascot 'Kosher Dilli', is conversing with Kim. While they're talking he sees Kim's crush, Josh Mankey walking arm-in-arm with Tara. Ron tries to distract Kim from the couple, believing that she still has a crush on Mankey. It seemed to work until Bonnie comes over and taunts Kim about the fact that Mankey's new girlfriend is not Kim. But, to her and Ron's surprise, Kim dismisses Mankey's relationship with no emotion, saying she and Mankey grew apart. Once Bonnie departs, Kim remarks that she's surprised Ron isn't the downcast one. Confused, Ron soon discovers that Tara had a widely known long-term crush on him which he was completely oblivious to. Ron is frustrated that no one bothered to mention this to him. Wade calls in, asking whether Ron is okay with the relationship - verifying how widely known Tara's feelings were. Wade informs Kim and Ron that Drakken is on the move. Ron tries to tug off his pickle outfit, but Kim drags him away in a hurry before he can take it off.

Moodulator

The Moodulator controller, set to romantic feelings.

Dr. Cyrus Bortel is currently testing his newest invention: Moodulators. The Moodulators are small devices that stick to a person and can be used to control their emotional state via a Moodulator controller. Dr. Bortel goes through a series of emotional states before removing the Moodulator. He comments excitedly on his succesful invention and his expectations for which government might be the highest bidder to acquire the new technology before he departs from his lab to watch a Fearless Ferret marathon. As soon as he is gone, Shego and Drakken break in with the intention of stealing an Electron Magneto Accelerator. Shego remarks on Drakken's tendency to steal other people's inventions instead of making his own, despite being a 'genius'.

Team Possible's Transportation

No specific transportation for Team Possible is shown in this episode.

Allusions

  • Shego says "You talkin' to Me?" - one of the most famous Robert De Niro lines from Martin Scosese's Taxi Driver[1].
  • Kim says "You got some 'splaining t'do!" - a catchphrase from I Love Lucy[2].
  • The mood swings of Kim and Shego are similar to the Emoticlones of Raven in Teen Titans[3].
  • When Kim and Shego get angry and halves of their faces appear on a split-screen, it is similar to how Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk[citation needed].

Trivia

  • This is the first time Kim and Ron kiss on the lips, although Kim has kissed Ron on the cheek before, under makeshift mistletoe (a piece of parsley with a red ribbon tied around it), during Christmas[4].
  • According to Steve Loter, the producer of the series, the episode was a test to see how the fans would react to the possibility of Kim and Ron having a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
  • The episode was voted #1 in Disney Channel's "Kim Possible Click it to Pick It: So the Countdown".
  • After Drakken and Motor Ed stole Felix Renton's wheelchair, Shego asked "What's next. Candy from a baby?"[5]. In this episode, she does just that.
    • Though it is worth noting that Shego did this while under the influence of the Moodulator, and thus was not in her normal state of mind, so whether she would actually do it normally is debatable.
  • One of the floats at the beginning of the episode features Jon Stoppable, a potential ancestor of Ron's[6].
  • When Kim wins the pickle doll for Ron at the fair, the other competitors are wearing Rocket Booster sweatshirts[7].
    • Another boy skating in the park during Drakken and Shego's outing also was wearing one.
  • This is Dr. Cyrus Bortel's second appearance, having first appeared in "The Twin Factor". It is also the second time Team Possible had to deal with his mind-altering technology in Drakken's hands.
  • After testing his Moodulator, Dr. Cyrus Bortel goes off to watch a Fearless Ferret marathon.

Errors

  • When Ron is talking to Kim at the Middleton Days Festival and accidentally presses a button on the Moodulator, the device is in his left pocket, however when he takes it out to show Cyrus Bortel he takes it from his right pocket.
  • Twice, the Moodulator control shows a purple gloomy face instead of the blue crying face: When Dr.Bortel is testing the Moodulators at the beginning, and when Jim and Tim are fighting.
  • When Dr. Possible takes the Moodulator control from the twins and sets it on the table (inadvertently turning it to "Romantic"), the face on the screen is the purple "Romantic" face before the button sound effect.
  • During the musical interlude when Ron is fleeing Kim and Shego and Drakken are in the park, Ron crouches at a corner with lockers on either side of the wall. When Kim surprises him from behind and the view switches, the left wall is still lockers, but the lockers around the corner have vanished and been replaced by a door.
  • Though this was the second time that Dr. Cyrus Bortel had met Kim and Ron, he did not seem to recognize either one in this episode. His mistaking Ron for a spy was understandable as people commonly forget Ron. But Bortel knew Kim on sight when they first met, yet he never referred to her by name in this episode. Although oddly enough, Ron does not seem to remember Bortel, either.
