Personal Storyline[]
Kim and Ron are diving in search of a special computer chip, which Monkey Fist, Duff Killigan, and Shego also seek. Ron gives Kim instructions on babysitting Rufus, as he is going to France with his parents, but Rufus cannot come because their hotel has a zero tolerance policy for rodents. Kim already agreed to babysit Rufus, but she claims she will not sing him a lullaby.
After returning home, Ron is ready to leave, but he has built Rufus' running tube to cover all of Kim's room, leaving Kim wondering how she can get to her bed. When Kim puts the chip on her desk, Ron closes the door as he leaves, causing the chip to fall into Rufus' food, which he then eats and swallows the chip. The chip activates inside Rufus' stomach, and the villains detect it and set out to recover it.
Kim and Rufus are at Bueno Nacho, where Rufus just cannot get enough to eat, having already eaten through two months of Kim's allowance. Wade then contacts her and says the chip is transmitting a signal. Kim says it's in her room, but Wade says not anymore; the signal is coming from Bueno Nacho, inside Rufus. Just then, Monkey Fist busts in with his monkey ninjas, takes Rufus, and escapes in his banana jet. As Kim gives chase, she tells Wade not to tell Ron she lost Rufus. He calls him right then, and Kim is forced to lie that Rufus is sleeping and he cannot be awoken, since, according to Ron's guide, mole-rats have to sleep 20 hours a day. Ron is unaware that Monkey Fist's jet passes his plane.
Wade managed to track Monkey Fist to the French Alps and arranged for Kim to get there. As she infiltrates Monkey Fist's castle, he is trying to use pincers to get the chip from Rufus. Kim arrives just in time and manages to get Rufus back. Kim fights her way out of the castle, only for Duff Killigan to arrive in his blimp and grab Rufus from her. Kim uses her jetpack to get into the blimp, but Killigan traps her in a net and abandons the ship as he sets it blow with a large golf ball bomb. Kim cuts herself loose and tries to stop the bomb, but is forced to jump out when she cannot stop a needle from popping the blimp.
As Kim chases Killigan in a free fall, Ron calls again; thankfully, he cannot see her and wants to speak to Rufus. Kim dives and manages to get Rufus to speak to Ron. Ron notices Rufus seems to be freaking, but Kim just says he misses Ron and ends the call. Kim launches Killigan's parachute and drops to the Eiffel Tower, where Ron and his parents happen to be taking a family photo, which Kim ends up photo-bombing while landing.
However, Kim's landing fails when she tries to use her grappling hook, and she hits a railing. The resulting hit causes Kim to land roughly on the tower, and Rufus flies straight to the feet of Shego. He escapes before Shego can grab him, but she catches up with him and grabs him. But then Killigan knocks Shego down and takes Rufus. He tries to escape by using the lift, but Monkey Fist and his monkey ninjas exit from it and knock him down. Rufus notices Kim, and Kim also sees him. They run to each other, but Shego kicks Kim away and takes Rufus. A series of events takes place, as everyone tries to take Rufus from one another, with Ron's family being none the wiser about what was happening above them.
Finally, the fighting over Rufus causes him to be flung into a lift shaft, and he grabs on to the cabling and fearing for his life. Kim worryingly jumps after him, but she is chased by the villains. Kim uses Killigan's parachute by tying it to her grappling hook and shooting it on a moving lift car, creating a bag to trap the villains in the lift shaft. She then tries to convince Rufus to jump to her, but Rufus is too scared and refuses. Kim swallows her pride and begins to sing Rufus his lullaby. The lullaby soothes Rufus; he falls asleep, and Kim jumps into the shaft and catches him as he falls. Ron was unaware, what was happening right above him.
Back home, Kim and Rufus deliver the chip to its rightful owners, as Ron tells them about his holiday. Kim and Rufus tell him it is just the same at home. The man Kim delivered the chip to thanked her for returning it, and she was rather shocked to learn the chip was used for special greeting cards. The card with the chip begins to play a lullaby, and Rufus falls asleep, as Kim says the text in the card: "Congratulations, it's a girl."

Trivia[]
General[]
- The 28th episode in chronological order.
- This is the second time Shego, Duff Killigan, and Monkey Fist are together in one episode in chronological order. The first time was in the TV movie "A Sitch in Time".
- This is the only episode where Shego appears without Drakken.
- The Original title was "Adventures in Molesitting", but it was changed by changing "Molesitting" to "Rufus-Sitting".
- Since this was a half-episode, it was paired with "Rufus in Show"; an abbreviated version of the title sequence is played to preface it and to serve as a lead-in when returning from the commercial between the two episodes.
- Mr. Stoppable pronounces Louvre, France's premier art museum, as "Loov-er-uh" like many American people tend to pronounce it. The correct pronunciation is "Loov", due to the French language's limitations where consonants do not mix and often have them silent, as well as a silent E at the end. This is a Real-Life issue common with tourists, not the actors.
Errors[]
- In the scene where Kim tries to convince Rufus to jump down, her gloves are missing.
- When Kim is singing Rock-A-Bye Rufus, her feet are invisible.
Continuity[]
- When Rufus ate the chip, he was reading the paper, "The Examiner," which printed Ron's story of Adrena Lynn being a fake in All the News, and which Ron fetched for him in the previous episode, "Rufus In Show".
Behind the Scenes[]
- Original title: Adventures in Molesitting.
- Since this was a shorter episode that was paired with "Rufus in Show", an abbreviated version of the title sequence is played to preface it and to serve as a lead-in when returning from the commercial break between the two episodes.
