History Recap / KimPossibleS1E20RonTheMan

* BaitAndSwitch: When Ron introduces his personal history project in the form of a collage, Barkin comments that word is 'French', sounding like he's impressed...[[SternTeacher before saying he's]] ''[[SternTeacher deducting]]'' [[SternTeacher points for use of the word]].

'''Kim:''' ''(coldly)'' "Miss Possible"

Soon he and Kim are recruited by Jack Hench, owner of [=HenchCo=], which produces henchmen and weapons for villains, to recover some molecular muscle enhancers that Shego stole for Drakken. Taking the last one for himself, Ron uses it to gain muscles and revels in his newfound masculinity. Meanwhile, Drakken tracks Dementor to Las Vegas and heads there to recover the device, with Kim & Ron soon tracking him there as well, using the signal put out by the enhancers. The three parties engage in battle for the device, with Ron crashing a rabbinical conference attended by Rabbi Katz, who oversaw his bar mitzvah.

Eventually, the battle ends with Drakken accidentally activating the Inducer, and he tosses it into a vent, but the machine is still powerful enough to destroy the entire state. Ron attempts to retrieve it, but his muscles won't allow him to fit in the vent. Kim & Rabbi Katz convince him he doesn't need the muscles to be a man, and he deactivates the ring, shutting off the inducer and saving the day. Back in Middleton, Rabbi Katz signs the certificate, to Ron and his parents happiness.

* SaveTheVillain: Kim rather reluctantly agrees to recover the muscle-enhancing rings stolen from Jack Hench, if only to keep said tech out of Drakken's hands.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Kim was pretty annoyed to find out about Dementor's theft of the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer only after she and Ron had tracked down Drakken who was after it as well. Apparently, the local, federal, and international law enforcement thought they could do the job without her.

'''Drakken:''' ''Please'', Hench never gives free anything. He... ''(understanding dawns)'' ...oh, you mean ''stealing'', don't you?\\

-->'''Kim''': [[PoliceAreUseless Well, I guess]] [[TheOnlyOne they were wrong!]]

----

* ArmsDealer: Jack Hench is a kid-friendly version of the concept.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Ron becomes a mass of muscle after putting on one of Jack Hench's rings, but Kim and Shego still do most of the actual fighting... and Ron saves the day by taking ''off'' the ring to restore his normal skinny build so he can reach far enough into the ductwork.

* SaveTheVillain: Kim rather reluctantly agrees to recover the muscle-enhancing rings stolen from Jack Hench.

* TheElevatorFromIpanema: While Kim and Ron are in the waiting room at HenchCo, a Ipanema version of the show's ThemeSong is heard.

* PaletteSawap: The [=HenchCo=] goons that Kim fights use the same design as Drakken's muscularly enhanced henchmen, just with purple jumpsuits instead of red.

After learning that his Bar Mitzvah certificate wasn't signed, Ron begins to doubt if he's a real man. Meanwhile, Drakken uses stolen muscle enhancing technology in an attempt to seize a Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer from his rival Professor Dementor.

* DoomItYourself: After Drakken rants about his [[SurroundedByIdiots inept henchmen]], Shego suggests that he ought to try hiring better ones from Jack Hench. Drakken insists that he prefers to do it himself; Shego scoffs that he's just too cheap.

In "Ron the Man", Mr. Barkin brought up the fact Ron gets "rescued by a girl" to doubt Ron's manhood.
