Recap / Kim Possible S 2 E 17 Queen Bebe

Go To

The Bebes return, seeking a central guiding intelligence to coordinate them now that they no longer work for Drakken. After overhearing a chance remark by Kim, they decide to seek out the one she described as "the bossiest person" — Bonnie Rockwaller.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Call-Back: Ron mentions that the production values of the educational bee video are way below those of "Ghost Car", the educational Driver's Ed video Mr Barkin showed in "Car Trouble" though this was meant to be Foreshadowing given that this episode came before it in production order.
  • Dance Party Ending: A rare version that overlaps with Bittersweet Ending - Kim saves the day, but is still stuck with the super-speed shoes and thus can't attend the ball she'd set up. She settles for dancing with Rufus (himself outfitted with the shoes) by the Statue of Liberty.
  • It Only Works Once: The signal-jamming tactic Kim used in "Attack of the Killer Bebes" doesn't work this time.
  • Logic Bomb: Of an emotional variety. When Rufus sabotages the Bebe assembly line to make all the newly-constructed robots be built with their faces upside-down, the thought of them being imperfect compared to Bonnie causes them to short out.
  • Mundane Utility: Kim uses the super-speed shoes for some of her "basic average girl" commitments (volunteering to clean up the park and decorating the gym).
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Kim outed Bonnie as the bossiest person on the planet to the Bebes.
  • Power Incontinence: Wade warns Kim not to wear the Super-Speed shoes for too long since they're prototypes. She wears them for most of the day to finish all her tasks on time, but her speed just keeps increasing and by the time she's called on a mission, she is going so fast that everything else looks frozen to her and she can't take the shoes off. By the end of the episode, she's going so fast that she can't control her speed and keeps overshooting Middleton trying to get to the dance party.
  • Super-Speed: The Bebes can move invisibly fast in short bursts. To counter this, Wade provides Kim with super-speed shoes to let her keep up with them.
  • Too Fast to Stop: By the end of the episode, Kim and Rufus are going so fast with the shoes on that they keep overshooting Middleton by over a thousand miles trying to get to the dance party, ending up in San Francisco and New York City.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Bonnie's only responses to being rescued by Kim were to complain about how long it took her to show up and to accuse her of making the Bebes kidnap her in the first place.
  • Valley Girl: Once the Bebes connect Bonnie's subconscious to their Hive Mind, they mimic her typical, snarky speech pattern.
