During a class field trip, Kim learns about an aunt she never knew she had (even morseo, looks exactly like her) who allegedly pulled 'the crime of the century'. Determined to save the family name, Kim goes on an incredibly weird adventure filled with amazing coincidences.
This episode features examples of:
- All Just a Dream: The end of the episode reveals that the whole thing was just a dream that Kim and Ron were having. According to
Word of God however, the characters' ancestors really did exist. - Anything but That!: Drakken voices his disdain about having to stay at the time-share lair again when his regular lair is being fumigated.
- Bland-Name Product: Spark Rock candy is basically Pop Rocks.
- Blatant Lies: Drakken claims that he had no idea how the termites infesting his lair became mutated. The exterminator sees through it.
- Call-Back: The time-share lair, last seen in "Mind Games", makes a return.
- Chekhov's Gun: Ron's Spark Rock candy not sparking when he first got it turns out to be a clue to where the Electrostatic Illuminator was.
- Contrived Coincidence: A whole episode full of them. Ron lampshades it continuously throughout the episode.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: The "mysterious masked warrior" displayed at the end of the episode is believed by some historians to be the true key to the many victories of the young gladiator Ronacus. However, the male hero Ronacus is the one who is honored for his victories against Dracus Maximus with a massive statue, whereas his female ally's name is forgotten to time, is relegated to a plaque, and her very involvement in Ronacus' victories isn't even a generally accepted consensus amongst historians given that the museum curator states that some say she was the true key to Ronacus' victories.
- Distinction Without a Difference: When his lair has to be fumigated for mutant termites for two weeks, he asks the exterminator if it'll be tented the entire time.Exterminator: Oh, no, out of the two weeks, the tent will only be up for, eh, fourteen days.
Drakken: Thank goodness...(beat) Very funny.
Exterminator: Eh, I do what I can. - Energy Absorption: The Electrostatic Illuminator absorbs ambient electrical energy and releases the stored power from a set timer. A few seconds unleashes a massive lightning bolt, the driving conflict once it's found to still exist is that the timer was set for a century.
- Enhance Button: Wade was able to digitally enhance his Uncle Wayne's blacked out photos to get proof of Mim's innocence, much to Wayne's disdain.
- Generation Xerox: The main plot features parallel characters from a century ago; the closing scene presents museum exhibits showing ancient versions of Ron, Drakken, and Kim.
- Hypocritical Humor: Upon learning Dementor's real name is DeMenz, Drakken is shocked that he uses a fake name. Shego then quips "Yeah, can you imagine...Drew Lipsky?".
- Identical Grandson / Uncanny Family Resemblance: Seven sets of them!
- Let Us Never Speak of This Again: This is what Drakken declares after Kim saves him and Shego from the exploding Electrostatic Illuminator.
- Museum of Boredom: Invoked by Mr. Barkin, who said that rather than focus on the intriguing parts of the Worlds' Fair, he was going to be talking about obscure names, dates, and places, much to the dismay of his class.
- Noodle Incident: Jon mentions that he once accidentally ate Inspector Barkin's pickled egg. Apparently, the Inspector was so irked about it that he wrote about the incident.
- Revisiting the Cold Case: Kim is determined to find the truth about the Electrostatic Illuminator case and clear her great great aunt Mim's name, something that becomes much more possible thanks to the advancement of technology that allows Wade to digitally enhance his Uncle Wayne's original photos. Narrowly avoids falling under Extremely Cold Case due to Wayne being the last person involved with the case who is still alive.
- Sleep Cute: Kim and Ron are in this pose when Barkin wakes them up from their dream.
- Spooky Séance: When Wade suggested Kim and Ron ask his uncle Wayne more about what happened, Ron replies he wasn't up for having one of these. Fortunately, Wayne was still alive...being 110.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: Even a hundred years apart, both Ron and Bartholomew Lipsky refer to the Electrostatic Illuminator as a "dingus".
- Termite Trouble: Drakken's lair ends up being tented for two weeks due to a bunch of termites he mutated getting loose.Exterminator: Mad scientists. Always perverting nature in their twisted quest for power.
- That Came Out Wrong: Upon learning how long the Electrostatic Illuminator was set for, Ron dismissively says "Who cares about a 100 year old timer?"...right in Wayne's presence. He then meekly asks if that was the wrong place to ask that.
