It is Mother's Day and the heroes and villains each have a different way of expressing togetherness with their mothers; be it picnics, togetherness on the job, and those pesky household chores. But just because it is Mother's Day does not mean it is not a day for villainous schemes. They have mothers, too.

Personal Storyline[]

Kim attempted to spend Mother's Day with her mother despite their equally busy schedules. While Kim and her mom try to juggle their busy lives, Ron was assigned the overwhelming task of cleaning out the family garage as his Mother's Day gift for Mrs. Stoppable. Meanwhile, Drakken got an unexpected visit from his mother Mama Lipsky, who is under the impression that he is a radio talk show doctor, and that he has not in fact forgotten Mother's Day.

Plot[]

It is Mother's Day, and Kim, Ron, and Wade all make a point to spend time with their moms. Kim and the family surprise Ann with breakfast in bed, a card, and a vase of flowers, replacing the Tweebs original present, mutated bees. However, Mother's Day maybe cut shot because of Ann and Kim's busy schedules. Because it has been a while since Ann and Kim spent some quality mother-daughter time together, Mr. Possible wants them to spend the day together "no matter what". While Kim is spending the day with her mom, Ron is forced by his own mom to clean out the garage and Wade is pampering his mother for the day. Also, Drakken's mother comes to visit him for Mother's Day. Because she has no idea that her son is a supervillain and thinks he is a radio talk show doctor, Drakken has to try and keep his life as an international supervillain a secret from her.

After helping out with a brain-surgery procedure, Kim and Mrs. Possible return home, deciding what to do next in their mother-daughter bonding day. But then Kim gets a call from Wade, who reports that Drakken is trying to steal a batch of Syntho-Plasma. Since Ron is unavailable to help Kim like he normally would, and since Ann and Kim promised each other to spend the day together "no matter what", Ann offers to act as her daughter's sidekick on the mission. Kim, naturally, is reluctant to that idea, not wanting to put her mom in any kind of danger, but after Ann gives her daughter the "puppy dog pout" Kim ultimately agrees to let her act as her sidekick this one time.

Despite a few bumps in the road, one of which was where the syntho-plasma accidentally gets exposed to air and becomes a nonstop-eating monster, Kim and her mom manage to stop Drakken and Shego's scheme and Ann even saves her daughter from getting eaten by the blob monster. After Ann saves Kim, they admit that while it was not the way they originally thought they would spend the day together, they managed to spend it together, no matter what. Later on, Kim and Ron return the syntho-plasma blob monster to the scientists after they have it clean out the Stoppable family's garage.

Memorable Quotes[]

Kim: Why is the present buzzing?
Jim: Mom loves honey.
Tim: It's a new strain of honey bees.
Jim: Yeah, they make twice the honey of normal bees.
Kim: I bet they sting twice as much too.
Jim and Tim: Well, duh!

Ron: That's right, today's your day, Mom. Whatever you want, you got it.
Ron's Mom: I want a clean garage.
Ron: Mom, I can't do the impossible. That's more of a Kim thing. Oh, oh! How about I glue macaroni's to a coffee can and then spray it gold?

Kim: I had no idea how major your job is. I mean it's, it's... well, it's brain surgery.
Kim's Mom: Oooh, you were a big help in there, Kimmie, and you didn't faint once.
Kim: Oh, I was too busy throwing up.

Drakken: And so Kim Possible and her... sister, Hmm?
Kim's Mom: Is he hitting on me?
Kim: Nah, sidekicks really confuse him.

Ann Possible: (After rescuing Kim from the synthoplasma, she high-fives her daughter) In the zone!

Allusions[]

At one point, several of the boxes in the garage fall and stack up together like in Tetris.
The synthoplasma mannerisms and role is similar to The Blob.

Trivia[]

44th episode aired.
36th episode in chronological order.
37th episode of in production order.
While Drew Lipsky was established as Dr. Drakken's real name in Attack of the Killer Bebes, Dr. Drakken's full name is revealed in this episode as Drew Theodore P. Lipsky.
We learn that Dr. Drakken pretends to be a radio show host in front of his mother. Shego also keeps Dr. Drakken's mad scientist role a secret in front of his mother.
One of Dr. Drakken's childhood toys is revealed to be his Peter Puffer Puff train set.
This is the second time Mrs. Possible goes on a mission with Kim, the first being A Very Possible Christmas.
- Coincidentally, both are holiday episodes. The difference is that in A Very Possible Christmas, the entirety of Kim's family tags along on the journey, while in Mother's Day, only Ann accompanies Kim. The Mother's Day episode also doubles as Mrs. Possible's focus episode.
Second time Ann gave Kim the "puppy dog pout", the first time is Coach Possible.
Shego acts disgusted with the fact that she would settle down with Dr. Drakken. Ironically, in Graduation Part 2, Shego did hook up with Dr. Drakken.

Errors[]

Kim would not be allowed to help her mother with brain surgery as it is actually illegal for a teenager to both perform brain surgery and without a medical license as a brain surgeon needs to have at least a bachelor's degree in nursing and must undergo many years of training in medical school.
The ATV disappears after Kim and Ann enter the train.
Kim's hairdo is slightly messed up when she and Ann are tied up but right before Ann uses her laser scalpel, her hair is restored to normal.
In some scenes, the color of Ann's pouch is grey like her pants.
