Kim is surprised when she receives a call for help from [[ArchEnemy Dr. Drakken]] of all people, although it turns out to actually be a one Private Cleotis Dobbs, whose body Drakken has stolen for some sinister purpose. Before heading off to save him, Kim's stressing about an upcoming cheerleading competition (specifically regionals), which leads to her and Ron having a discussion about [[MutualEnvy how easy they think the other's life is.]] Soon, they arrive in Drakken's new lair located near the Grand Canyon, and, though they manage to escape with Dobbs, end up having their minds switched in the process.

While they head to school after this, they both learn how hard the other actually has it:
* Kim discovers that Ron's generally bullied and mistreated by the rest of the student body.
* Ron learns that for all of Kim's popularity, she tends to get really overwhelmed with all the activities she's committed herself to (largely due to her overachiever-tendencies).

They also learn that Drakken stole Dobbs's body to steal the "Neutronolizer", a powerful military weapon no one seems to know anything about. Eventually, the three track Drakken to his new lair (a timeshare with Professor Dementor) but are captured.

Drakken returns to his normal body and decides to use the Neutronolizer since the world did not meet his demands [[ItMakesSenseInContext (due to him making his ultimatum with a puppet)]], but it blows the power, so he decides to destroy the base. Freed by Dobbs, Kim and Ron use the Kimmunicator's power core to power the brain switch machine and restore themselves to normal. They escape as the base explodes, leaving the Neutronolizer okay (as it's "dang near indestructible"). Back at Middleton High, Ron is surprised to be given gifts by his former D-Hall bullies, with Kim explaining she gave them a little "sensitivity training" while still in his body.

!!This episode provides examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Kim (in Ron's body) gets tossed into the girls' bathroom by a couple of bullies, much to Bonnie's indignation. This leads directly to the BitchSlap.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Ron figured being popular like Kim would be a "can of corn"; how wrong he was.
* BigRedButton: The SelfDestructMechanism on the timeshare lair is activated with one of these.
* BitchSlap: This is what Bonnie gives Kim (in Ron's body) after Kim had the misfortune of being shoved into the cheerleaders' changing room.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Drakken sets the self-destruct button on the timeshare lair.
-->'''Kim:''' You ''can't'' destroy this place.\\
'''Drakken:''' So I'll lose my security deposit. It's worth it.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When Drakken (in Dobbs' body) finds out that Dobbs (in Drakken's body) escaped, he vents his rage at Shego... who is briefly intimidated and actually resorts to flirting with him to deflect his wrath. This can't be chalked up to the fact that he now has a soldier's body -- Dobbs' physical appearance is, if anything, even less intimidating than Drakken's.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Drakken's first lair, located near the Grand Canyon, is one of these.
* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: In addition to cheerleading, Kim is on the swim team and yearbook committee, tutors, and helps set up for school events.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The timeshare lair also belongs to Professor Dementor, who [[Recap/KimPossibleS1E20RonTheMan shows up many episodes later.]]
* FreakyFridayFlip: Kim and Ron; Drakken and Dobbs.
* FreezeFrameBonus: If you pause when Kim (in Ron's body) is kicking one of Drakken's henchmen, you can see that the bottom of his shoe reads "Made in Hollywood".
* HandPuppet: While stuck in Dobbs' body, Drakken uses a ridiculously crude Drakken puppet to record his ultimatum message.
* HereWeGoAgain: When Drakken’s time-shared lair is about to explode, Kim and Ron manage to switch back to their bodies… or so it seems. Ron accidentally ended up switching bodies with Rufus instead. They have to do it all over again, [[RaceAgainstTheClock while the self-destruct countdown is still going]].
* IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou: After Dobbs (in Drakken's body) accidentally mentions the Neutronalizer, Kim's dad jokingly asks if this trope applies. Dobbs [[{{Beat}} pauses awkwardly for a moment]], and tells everybody to [[YouDidntSeeThat forget that he'd said anything]].
** In any case, all Dobbs knows about the Neutronalizer is its name and the fact that he's supposed to keep everybody but authorized personnel away from it.
* InsistentTerminology:
** Ron doesn't have dumb luck, he has "dumb skill".
** Also, getting food is always called "snackage", never "lunchage" 'cause that's just way stupid.
* TheMeddlingKidsAreUseless: When you think about it, Kim and Ron really didn't do anything to foil Drakken's plan. Not only did they get captured due to being in each other's bodies, but Drakken's plot was foiled on its own due to the power being drained out of the timeshare lair. Basically, the only reason they went there was to switch back to normal.
* NoodleIncident: Kim apparently once delivered a donkey's calf in the dark and rain.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
** "I. Want. My. Body!" said twice by Drakken-in-Dobbs'-body.
** Bonnie says, "You. Little. ''Freako''!" when she encounters Kim-in-Ron's body in the changing room.
* SelfDestructMechanism: Drakken's timeshare conveniently has one.
* ShaggyDogStory: Ultimately, Kim and Ron aren't responsible for Drakken's plan being foiled, it being because the mind-switch machine drained the timeshare lair's power and Drakken decided to engage the SelfDestructMechanism. Furthermore, Drakken was able to easily capture Kim and Ron in their swapped state and they ultimately needed help from Private Dobbs to escape.
* ShoutOut: Several sources have claimed that the scene of Kim/Ron switching brains, with their spirits shown ghosting into the other, is taken from the classic ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' episode "Turnabout Intruder"[[note]] a.k.a. the one where the AxeCrazy lady takes over Kirk's body because [[StayInTheKitchen women can't be starship captains.]][[/note]].
* UnusualEuphemism: "Jumping catfish!"
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one in the audience seems upset or confused about a boy in casual street clothes instead of the team uniform, participating in the cheerleading regionals.
* VocalDissonance: {{Invoked}} and PlayedForLaughs. Shego hearing Ron's body speaking with Kim's voice is enough for the fight to come to a screeching halt.
** Drakken has to use the crude HandPuppet to give his demands because Shego points out that his voice and Dobbs' body together is too funny to be intimidating.
* VoicesAreMental: PlayedWith. You would think at first that the episode does the standard example [[VoicesAreNotMental where the characters retain their usual voices despite having each other's bodies]] (and presumably, their vocal cords). But then, it's made clear that Kim and Ron's voices have also switched along with their brains when Shego [[ActuallyPrettyFunny cracks up]] upon hearing Kim's voice coming out of Ron's body.
* WithMyHandsTied: Dobbs!Drakken headbutts Shego this way.
* TheWorfEffect: Though Kim is usually capable of fighting Shego one-on-one, and even in Ron's body was [[NewBodyOldAbilities capable of performing her usual acrobatics]], she was easily captured.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Dobbs says his mother never told him to do so... unless she locked him in a crate.
