History Recap / KimPossibleS3E9TeamImpossible

** Later on in the episode, when Team Impossible is trapped in a situation pretty much identical to that of Kim and Ron's first mission, they're completely stumped on what to do to get themselves out of it--Kim, however, was able to get them out of it just as flawlessly as to when she rescued Mr. Paisley and Mr. McHenry back in middle school, pretty much making Team Impossible look like amateurs by comparison.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Team Impossible--they went from just being [[PunchClockHero Punch Clock Heroes]] who wanted Kim to stop saving the world so they could get paid for it to basically straight-up trying to [[NeverSayDie permanently end her heroics.]]

* PunchClockHero[=/=]OnlyInItForTheMoney: Team Impossible are this until the end of the episode. To go into greater detail:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[VoiceWithAnInternetConnection Wade]] comes out of his room to confront Team Impossible for wrecking his computer system.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Team Impossible initially seemed like this to Kim and Ron, but the teens are ultimately this to Team Impossible. Team Impossible had to sabotage their rides just to get them out of the way, but when stuck in a situation pretty much identical to that of Kim and Ron's origin in "A Stitch In Time," Team Impossible was totally stumped on what to do--Kim made them look like amateurs.

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Inverted. After Kim and Ron see Wade out of his room for the first time since they've known him, Ron says he expected Wade to be shorter in height (despite the fact that Wade's [[ShorterMeansSmarter already pretty short]]).
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Team Impossible--they went from just being [[PunchClockHero Punch Clock Heroes]] who wanted Kim to stop saving the world so they could get paid for it, and basically straight-up to trying to [[NeverSayDie permanently end her heroics.]]

** As Kim explains to her parents, Team Impossible saves the world just like her and Ron do, but while Kim and Ron do it because it's the right thing to do, Team Impossible treats saving the world like it's a business and charge money from the people they save on missions (presumably, if you don't pay them, then Team Impossible won't help you). Team Impossible is also really smug about their skills while Kim and Ron are comparably much humbler.
