History Recap / KimPossibleS1E2SinkOrSwim

** After everyone (except for Ron and Rufus) has been captured and they're about to be mutated, Bonnie exclaims, "There's no way they're going to let a squad of mutant cheerleaders into the competition!!" But then shouts at her that there was no cheerleading competition and that the whole thing was a setup for him to get revenge on Ron.

Mr. Barkin's driving a bus with the MHS-cheerleading squad (with Ron and Rufus in tow) to an invitational cheerleading competition, when Ron suddenly becomes agitated at the sight of a "too familiar" place. He becomes even more upset when Kim shows him their current location on the Kimmunicator, announcing that it's his "worst nightmare -return to Camp [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Wannaweep]]."

* AllUpToYou: Gil ends up traping Mr. Barkin and all the cheerleaders (including Kim), ultimately leaving it up to Ron and Rufus to capture Gil and save the day.

* GreenEyedMonster: Gil's dislike/hatred towards Ron seems to stem from how Ron ultimately got to have a much more "normal" life compared to Gil, who ended up becoming a mutant (possibly permanently).

* IndestructibleEdible: While hiding out in Ron's old cabin, it's revealed that his secret stash of snacks are still there. Kim and Bonnie find the idea of eating them gross, but Ron points out that they have enough preservatives to last for decades.

* NeverMyFault: Gill blames Ron for him being a mutant, but he was the one who willingly swam in the polluted water, even though Ron told him it seemed funny, so Gil really has nobody but himself to blame (and, maybe to a certain extent, the nearby science camp, since it was the runoff from that particular camp that ended up polluting the water in the lake).

* SkewedPriorities: Even with them being stranded in an abandoned summer camp and being hunted by an unknown monstrous creature, Bonnie was ultimately more concerned about her and the rest of the squad missing the cheerleading competition they had supposedly been invited to compete in. It's not until after Gil finally shouts that there was no cheerleading competition and that the whole was a setup by him to get revenge on Ron that Bonnie (presumably) gets it.
** And it doesn't stop there: whilst everyone is covered in mutagen that will turn them into mutants like Gill, Bonnie worries that now they're going to be late for the tournament ''and'' they'll be ugly mutants unfit for the competition. Again, this leads into Gill nullifying Bonnie's skewered worries by pointing out the tournament was a set-up.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Downplayed. Ron initially doesn't recognize the [[FishPeople fish mutant]] before him when it calls him "squeeb". But after the creature recollects a time they traded activities, Ron recognizes who it used to be:

Ron uses his knowledge of the camp (and his excellent lanyard making skills) to ultimately defeat Gill, who's handed over to a scientist named Dr. Lurkin, who might be able to cure him in the hopes of returning him back to normal. As they're getting ready to leave the camp, Mr. Barkin and the cheerleaders thank Ron for saving them--even Bonnie (very grudgingly) acknowledges that what Ron did was very heroic and that it was very brave of him to save them all. Kim, of course, thanks Ron for saving her and the rest of the cheerleaders and adds how proud she is of him for what he and Rufus did to save them.

However, after Ron questions her about, Kim admits that it's "ferociously unlikely" that she'll actually let him lead their next mission.

* ChekhovsSkill: Taking that arts & crafts class and making lanyards really worked out for Ron.

* NeverMyFault: Gill blames Ron for him being a mutant, but he was the one who willingly swam in the polluted water, even though Ron told him it seemed funny, so Gil really has nobody but himself to blame (and, maybe to a certain extent, the nearby science camp).
* ObliviousToLove: Tara's nicer to Ron than the other cheerleaders (especially Bonnie), but Ron's a little too busy freaking out over being back at Camp Wannaweep (and being hunted down by Gil) to notice.

* SkewedPriorities: Even with them being stranded in an abandoned summer camp and being hunted by an unknown monstrous creature, Bonnie was ultimately more concerned about her and the rest of the squad missing the cheerleading competition they had supposedly been invited to compete. It's not until after Gil finally shouts that there was no cheerleading competition and that the whole was a setup by him to get revenge on Ron that Bonnnie (presumably) gets it.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Downplayed. Ron initially doesn't recognize the [[FishPeople fish mutant]] before him when it calls him "squeeb". But after some prodding, Ron realizes who it is once it recollects how he traded activities with a certain kid:

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Downplayed. Ron initially doesn't recognize the [[FishPeople fish mutant]] before him when it calls him "dweeb". But after some prodding, Ron realizes who it is once it recollects how he bailed out on swim class:

* ChekhovsGunman: At first, Ron's flashback with Gil just seemed like another random story, until we find out what the creature hunting him and the squad is.

* FishPeople: Gill.

* GreenEyedMonster: Gil's dislike/hatred towards Ron seems to stem from how (teen-hero antics with Kim aside) Ron got to have a much more "normal" life compared to Gil, who ended up becoming a mutant (possibly permanently).

* SkewedPriorities: Even with them being stranded in an abandoned summer camp and being hunted down by a mutant fish-monster, Bonnie was more concerned about missing the cheerleading competition they had supposedly been invited to compete in. While hiding out in Cabin 13 (where Ron stayed when he was at the camp), Bonnie points that their squad is now short two cheerleaders (Liz and Marcella had gone missing) and there's no one to drive them to the competition (as Barkin had also gone missing). But a cheerleader named Crystal tells Bonnie, "Forget the competition! How are we gonna survive the night?! Seriously, there's something out there!" Bonnie then says, "Okay, okay, you're right." ''({{Beat}})'' "[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint Do you think that something can drive?]]" Even when she, Barkin and the rest of the cheerleaders (including Kim) are in danger of becoming mutants just like Gil, Bonnie screamed "There's no way they're going to let a squad of mutant cheerleaders into the competition!"

Ron uses his knowledge of the camp and his excellent lanyard making skills to ultimately defeat Gill, who's handed over to a scientist named Dr. Lurkin, who might be able to cure him in the hopes of returning him back to normal.

However, upon Ron questioning her about it, Kim admits that it's "ferociously unlikely" that she'll actually let him lead their next mission.

--> '''Gill:''' I added an extra "L", you know, as in "gill." As in, [[SuddenlyShouting THESE THINGS THAT GREW WHEN I MUTATED!]]

* ScienceIsBad: Gill thinks so, as the toxic runoff from the science camp[[note]]Not band or clown camp[[/note]] made him into a mutant.

* CasandraTruth: Officer Hobble disbelieves that Ron was the one to save the day instead of Kim this time.

--> '''Ron: ''' Yes, as they were hitting me with sticks and stones.

* ShipTease: At the end of episode, Tara kisses Ron on the cheek for saving her and the rest of cheerleaders.

Mr. Barkin's driving a bus with the MH-cheerleading squad (including Ron and Rufus) to an invitational cheerleading competition, when Ron suddenly becomes agitated at the sight of a "too familiar" place. He becomes even more upset when Kim shows him their current location on the Kimmunicator, announcing that it's his "worst nightmare -- return to Camp [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Wannaweep]]".

The bus then hits a nail board, flattening two of the tires and forcing it to stop. Everyone takes shelter in the abandoned campground, while Ron recounts [[SummerCampy the awful summer he spent there as a child]]. Among other things, he was bullied by another camper named Gil, who spent most of his time swimming in the lake (which Ron avoided because it looked and smelled dubious).

Ron uses his knowledge of the camp and his excellent lanyard making skills to defeat Gill, who is handed over to Dr. Lurkin, a scientist who might be able to cure him in hopes of returning him to normal. Mr. Barkin and the other cheerleaders (including Bonnie) thank Ron for saving them, acknowledging how brave he was in defeating Gil, and Kim thanks Ron too, as well as adding how proud she is of him for what he and Rufus did to save them.

* ObliviousToLove: Tara's nicer to Ron than the other cheerleaders, but Ron's a little too busy freaking out over being back at Camp Wannaweep (and being hunted down by Gill) to notice.
