History Recap / KimPossibleS1E7NumberOne

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: While Bonnie succeeds in usurping the position of cheerleading captain from Kim (albeit with the surprise of Kim giving Bonnie her support), she now has to deal with all the work that comes with being the captain of the squad, since she has more responsibilities than the rest of the cheerleaders do.

At Middleton High, Bonnie makes a play to become the MHS-cheerleading captain, much to Kim's displeasure. However, before she can do much about it, Kim is recruited by [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction Global Justice]], a world peacekeeping force, to locate [[KidnappedScientist Professor Sylvan Green]], a retired scientist who's gone missing. To help her, she is partnered with [[MeaningfulName Will Du]], one of GJ's top's agents, a [[NoSenseOfHumor humorless]], [[RulesLawyer by the book]] agent, whose arrogance rubs her the wrong way.

Tracking Duff to Japan (the first country where he was banned from a golf course) Kim defeats the villain by using a dandelion, which, combined with the super grass, traps Duff in a giant puff. Will thanks Kim for assisting him, with an angry Kim complaining about his arrogance, [[TomatoInTheMirror not seeing how it compares with her and Bonnie]].

But when they arrive back at the high school, Kim decides to let Bonnie become the new cheerleading captain--Bonnie and the rest of the cheerleaders are surprised by this, so Kim elaborates by acknowledging that all the stuff Bonnie did was very impressive, so the squad unanimously votes Bonnie in as the new cheerleading captain for Middleton High School.

Bonnie's excited about finally being the cheerleading captain, but figures that she's now done with having to work hard. But Kim points out to Bonnie that, as captain of the squad, she's got more responsibilities than the rest of the cheerleaders do and is going to have to continue doing the hard work she had done to gain the position in the first place. The episode ends with an upset Bonnie storming off after hearing this revelation and Kim making estimates with Ron about how long Bonnie will last as the cheerleading captain before giving it up.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Combined with WantingIsBetterThanHaving--Bonnie apparently didn't realize (at least not until Kim pointed it out to her) that, as the cheerleading captain, she's got more responsibilities than the rest of her fellow cheerleaders and is going to have to continue doing the hard work she had done to gain the position in the first place.

* HiddenDepths: This episode proves that Bonnie's truly passionate about cheerleading and that she's (surprisingly) competent enough to actually lead and motivate their squad, and even comes up with some pretty good routines and gets the squad cool new uniforms (that are only seen in this episode). The only thing she couldn't handle was simply having to continue doing the hard work she had done to gain the position in the first place.

* KickTheDog: The first thing Will Du does upon meeting Ron is paralyze him and Rufus with his stop watch because he came within one foot his person.

* KidnappedScientist: Played with. Dr. Green was a weapons expert in the 1960s, but his once-top secret missile defense system is of no real significance in the current decade -- [[EverybodyKnewAlready Kim and even Dr. Green himself point out to Agent Du that virtually anyone can look up Dr. Green's work at a place like a public library]]. What Killigan ''really'' wants is the super grass-growing formula that Dr. Green had developed in his free time as a hobby.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Though Bonnie manages to gain the position of MHS-cheerleading captain in the end, the next time that we see all the cheerleaders together again, Kim's back to being the captain--obviously, this means Bonnie gave the captainship back to Kim at some point. However, we never find out just how long Bonnie lasted as captain--when Kim and Ron were making their estimates at the end of the episode, Ron figured that Bonnie would only last a month while Kim figured "two weeks, tops."

However, we never find out just how long Bonnie lasted as captain--Ron figured that she'd only last about a month while Kim gave her two weeks.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Combined with SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome and WantingIsBetterThanHaving--Bonnie apparently didn't realize (at least not until Kim pointed it out to her) that, as the cheerleading captain, she's got more responsibilities than the rest of her fellow cheerleaders and is going to have to continue doing the hard work she had done to gain the position in the first place.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Will's initially convinced that Dr. Green (who was a weapons expert back in the 1960s) was kidnapped for his weapons research, but Kim points out that at this point in time, Dr. Green's research has become so obsolete that literally anyone can look up his research in a place like a library or even on the internet--in fact, Kim claims that she once looked up Dr. Green on the internet sometime prior the beginning of the episode. This ends up being combined with IronicEcho when, after finally rescuing Dr. Green, Will asks him about any weapons secrets that Killigan may have forced out of him--Dr. Green casually tells Will, "[Killigan] could look up my work in any public library," ultimately proving Kim's point.
** Whether it's being the president of a club or a the captain of a sports team, there's a lot of work/responsibility that goes into being the head of an extracurricular activity--it's not until Kim tells her outright at the end of the episode that Bonnie realizes that, as the captain of the cheerleading squad, she's got more responsibilities than the rest of their fellow cheerleaders and thus will have to continue doing the hard work she had done to gain the position in the first place.

Back at school, Kim agrees to let Bonnie be the cheerleading captain--Bonnie's excited about her new position, but figures that she's now done with having to work hard. But Kim points out to Bonnie that, since she's the captain of the squad, she has more responsibilities than the rest of cheerleaders do and is going to have continue doing the hard work she had gone to gain the position in the first place. The episode ends with an upset Bonnie storming off after hearing this revelation and the two best friends making estimates on just how long Bonnie will end up lasting as the cheerleading captain before giving it up.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Will is initially convinced that Dr. Green was kidnapped for his weapons research, but Kim reminds him that Dr. Green was a weapons expert in the 1960s--by the time of this episode's events, Dr. Green's work has become so obsolete that literally anyone could look up his work in a place like a library or even on the internet (in fact, Kim claims that she once looked up Dr. Green on the internet sometime prior the beginning of the episode).

While Kim and Will look for Professor Green, Bonnie creates a new routine for the squad and organizes a fundraiser by selling chocolate bars, which earns them new uniforms. Meanwhile, following up on the trace of "hyperactic acid" left at the professor's house, Kim & co travel to the black market, and learn via Big Daddy Brotherson that a large amount was purchased by Duff Killigan, a Scottish rogue golfer. The heroes quickly travel to his [[IslandBase island-based castle]] and free the professor, learning that Duff plans to use the professor's experimental fertilizer formula (which can make plants such as grass grow at an extremely fast rate) tto turn the entire world into his own personal golf course.

* ComicallySmallBribe: Kim is able to get Big Daddy Brotherson to spill the beans about Duff Killigan by offering him a bar of chocolate "with chewy nougat".

* HypocriticalHumor: At the end, Kim complains about how Will is arrogant and can't conceive that anyone can actually do something good on their own, unaware that is [[PlotParallel the exact same attitude she's had towards Bonnie for the entire episode]].
