Plot

Kim and Ron after saving Nakasumi.

Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable have been summoned for a second time to help the toy-manufacturing tycoon Mr. Nakasumi, and foil an attempt by Shego to kidnap Nakasumi for Dr. Drakken. Despite her failure to capture Nakasumi, however, Shego does manage to get his jacket.

Drakken and Shego conversing after the latter defeats the former's Synthodrones.

Despite this initial setback, Drakken finds something in Nakasumi's jacket. An epiphany provides him with high hopes and a plan he will not divulge to Shego. Shego snatches the note Drakken found, but to her, its contents are nothing more than a cartoon character. But it is one of the final components of part of Drakken's elaborate master plan to finally "take over the world," and "defeat Kim Possible once and for all". Two other stages in his plan that have already been carried out include the development of "Synthodrones", a more advanced model of the synthetic/artificial people that Drakken had unsuccessfully experimented with some time back, and a bizarre research project investigating the lifestyles of teenage girls.

Kim and Shego battling at the Bermuda Triangle.

For Kim, a teenage girl matter just happens to be a growing concern. The Junior Prom is approaching, and with the usual taunting from rival Bonnie Rockwaller thrown in, Kim is facing the realization that she has never had a steady boyfriend, and that her crime-fighting lifestyle might be a contributing factor to this. She is also troubled at the awkward possibility that her best -- but less-than-cool and mature -- friend Ron might end up her only prospect for the prom.

Ron laments over the removal of Naco Night.

Ron is concerned at the moment with other things that matter only to him. Bueno Nacho, the fast-food chain that has been his great joy in life, has come entirely under new ownership, and are implementing numerous small changes that are sapping away Ron's joy little by little.

Eric takes a seat near Kim at lunch.

Kim and Ron's separate feelings of woe end up intersecting. Ron strikes up a friendship with Eric, a boy new to their school. But when Ron introduces Eric to Kim, there is an instant and mutual attraction between them. Immediately, Kim and Eric are dating steadily and Kim is happy, while Ron finds himself increasingly on the sidelines of Kim's life.

To complete the final stage in his master plan, Drakken requires the most advanced "cybertronic technology" in existence. As it happens, Kim's father, Dr. James Possible, is the one scientist who possesses it, leading Drakken to kidnap him to get it. Although Kim and Ron find Drakken's lair and rescue Dr. Possible, Drakken and his organization have escaped to parts unknown, and the heroes are still unable to fathom any of his plans.

Drakken confronts Dr. Possible, his old college colleague.

Shego is also finding herself unable to grasp Drakken's new plan. Drakken is pleased because he knows that if Shego cannot figure out his scheme, neither can Kim. Drakken baffles Shego even more when he goes to a board meeting at a company he recently acquired.

Bueno Nacho has introduced their first kiddie meals, which come with a small, toy robot-figure called "Little Diablo". The Little Diablos are a worldwide popular sensation, and children all over the world are grabbing them.

Kim realizes Ron's growing unhappiness and tries to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, explaining that things are changing and it's time to move on in life.

Eric about to ask Kim to the prom.

Eric has asked Kim to the prom, to her delight. Meanwhile, Ron soon realizes his own feelings for Kim, and at first he decides to tell her, but then reconsiders, valuing her friendship too much to risk losing it.

At the prom, Kim and Eric are the center of attention. Ron decides to go to Bueno Nacho and hang out by himself, trying to deal with losing Kim. Ned tries to tell Ron something bad is happening in the restaurant chain, but all Ron notices is that the bendy straws have been taken away. Ron decides it is time to complain to the new owner of Bueno Nacho. With Wade's assistance, Ron is connected, and finds the person on the other end of the line is none other than Dr. Drakken. One secret revealed, the restaurant's new manager, an agent of Drakken's, unleashes another. Like a miniature army, the tiny Little Diablo toys come to life and go after Ron. Eluding the pursuing Diablos, Ron bursts into the prom and tries to warn Kim and everyone else. He is immediately dismissed as crazy, and even Kim, nearly giving in to peer pressure and Eric's disbelief, almost dismisses Ron's warnings as well. But, remembering that she and Ron have been through too much together for a long time, and that she has experienced plenty of bizarre things in crime-fighting, Kim relents and returns with him to her home to investigate further. Eric seems displeased.

Kim and Ron on the run from the giant Diablo.

At Kim's house, it is revealed that the Diablos are made from the cybertronic technology Drakken stole from Kim's father. Elsewhere, Drakken demands that Shego gives him a status report. While there are enough Diablos around the world to implement the final phase of the plan, Kim is getting wise to them. His plans in danger of being exposed, Drakken unleashes a direct attack on Kim. Tim and Jim's own Little Diablo toys suddenly transform into giant, killer robots, fully armed with weapons. With help from the Possible family, Kim and Ron succeed in defeating the robot attack. Drakken reveals to Kim that he has Eric.

Kim dons the super enhanced battle suit for the first time, which further increases her natural abilities to superhuman levels and grants her several new useful gadgets and special abilities.

Angrily, Kim dons a new experimental battle-suit from Wade that has the ability to repair itself and enhance the physical ability of the wearer, and she and Ron head for Drakken's new lair, Bueno Nacho's corporate headquarters. After a furious battle, Kim defeats Shego and finds Eric unharmed. But, Kim then learns that she had been viciously deceived, and that Eric, from the start, is actually one of Drakken's new Synthodrones. Eric (or Synthodrone 901) hits her with a jolt of electricity, knocking her out. Ron attempts a rescue but is knocked out by Shego. Kim and Ron are taken prisoner, and wake tied up in a storage room.

Kim and Shego engaged in a fight.

The entire world is soon under attack from armies of the giant Diablo robots. Kim, deeply humiliated and depressed at how she had been played all along, is close to conceding defeat. Ron gives Kim a pep talk saying that it is not too late to stop Drakken, and that Kim will find the right guy. Kim asks if he really thinks there's a guy for her, and Ron says there might be one who's out there... or in here. Upon hearing these words, Kim begins to realize who the guy of her dreams really is. Rufus then appears and uses Kim's laser lipstick to cut his friends down. The three head off to stop Drakken and his accomplices.

Kim victorious after kicking Shego off the roof.

Believing that he has finally won, Drakken begins to gloat, until Kim comes in and punches him across the room. Kim and Ron head up to the roof to destroy the master signal tower controlling the Diablos, but Shego and Eric get in the way. While Kim is able to hold her own against Shego, Eric proves to be too much for Ron, but makes a mistake by insulting Rufus. Angrily, Rufus bites a hole in Eric's foot, causing his syntho-goo to gush out, killing him. At the same time, the signal tower is destroyed and the Diablos deactivate. Knowing his plan is ruined, Drakken attempts to flee, but Ron cuts him off, saying that he crossed the line when he "ruined" Bueno Nacho. Drakken begs for mercy and Ron forces him to finally say his name.

Kim and Ron finally share their very first romantic kiss at the prom.

Drakken and his goons are taken into custody and the media broadcasts the news of Kim and Ron's victory. Kim shocks everyone when she returns to the prom holding hands with Ron. Bonnie attempts to get everyone to laugh at the new couple, but instead they all cheer. At first Kim and Ron are too embarrassed to move. Rufus gets the ball rolling by pushing his friends together. Kim and Ron take each other's hands and nervously start to slow dance to Christy Carlson Romano's song "Could It Be". As the dance goes on, they become more comfortable and begin to see each other in a new light. Towards the end, they look into each other's eyes, slowly lean in, and finally kiss. Outside, the Middleton High School board reads, "THE END" as the camera pans to the stars.

Team Possible's Transportation

• Mr. Nakasumi's private jet
• Ron's scooter

Allusions

• The scene of Shego using her jet's claw and going through the parade balloons is similar to a scene in the 1989 Batman film where Batman used the technique to deal with the Joker's poison gas-filled parade balloons.
• The art style for the opening title sequence could be a reference the James Bond movie openings.
• Drakken imitates Darth Vader by saying the line, "You have failed me for the last time, Shego!".
• Ned mentioning the possibility of Bueno Nacho putting in a playground and getting a spokesclown to go with the decision to have kiddie meals with toys is a reference to McDonald's.
• When Erik says, “Jinx! You owe me a soda!” to Kim, Ron responds sullenly with, “No soda for you!” This is reminiscent of a line from the “Seinfeld” TV show, “No soup for you!” uttered by the proprietor of a local cafeteria known as the Soup Nazi, when he thought a customer was disrespectful.
• When Monique and Kim are shopping for new dresses, Monique, at one point, says that Kim will become "Kimderella" a reference to Cinderella.
• Kim's super suit's regeneration is a reference to several things, first of all, the Centurion project, the second reference could be from "X-Men: Evolution" in which Spike's X-Men suit regenerates so he can use his spike-based powers without trashing every X-Men suit he wears.
• When Kim and Ron got a ride from a captain named Mr. Bailey who Kim saved from a hurricane, Kim said "No big. It wasn't like it was a perfect storm or anything. I mean it was okay". This is a reference to the 2000 film, The Perfect Storm.
• Kim, at one point calls Ron "Huck Finn", a reference to the Mark Twain work, Huckleberry Finn.
• The shield bubble is a reference to the Droidekea or 'Destroyer Droid' shield from Star Wars.
• Each of the Lil' Diablo toys have hands that resemble Lego hands.
• After kicking Shego off the roof of Bueno Nacho HQ, the shot of a victorious Kim on said roof with lightning in the background could be reminiscent of the iconic final shot from the intro of Batman: The Animated Series.

Kim, doing the iconic final shot of the Batman: The Animated Series intro.

Trivia

• It is interesting that Drakken was able to buy Bueno Nacho when there were points earlier in his career where he had some financial difficulties which prevented him from having better equipment and henchmen.
  • Drakken mentioned having acquired it in a hostile takeover, possibly implying that he simply took over the company by force.

• Shego was originally not shown in the paddy wagon with the villains when they are arrested at the end. She was added into the shot due to concerns that it looked as though Kim had killed her when she kicked her into the satellite in the previous scene.
  • On top of that, Shego was supposed to die after Kim kicked her into the tower and electrocuted her to death, and what would've been her last appearance, but the test audience said it would be too violent and dark. So they decided to have her survive the extremely dangerous electrocution.
• This movie was originally planned as the series finale.
• Critical Reception
  • IMDb scored Kim Possible: So The Drama a 7.3/10. As of November 2017 it is the third highest ranking Disney Channel Original Film out of 89 listed on IMDb.
  • Other reviews on the film were generally negative. Ashley Perez, television critic, gave the film two thumbs down, stating that "Kim Possible So the Drama just falls flat and doesn't add anything fresh, making this a disappointment for Kim Possible fans".[citation needed] Surprisingly, the ending to the film and Steve Loter's direction on the film were well received by those who gave the film positive and negative reviews.[citation needed]
• When the movie was shown on television, some cuts were made for timing purposes:

Scene	Original Scene	Edit Made
Battle between Shego and Kim at the club	The lengthy fight takes over the entire lounge	Several scenes, including the chandelier scene and another where Kim throws plates at Shego, are omitted.
Penultimate battle between Kim and Shego	After Shego taunts Kim about moving in on Eric, Kim proceeds to attack her with a flurry of fast punches, which knocks her into a wall	The fast punches are omitted, and Shego is thrown into the wall by an unseen hit
Drakken is mocking Kim's "weakness" - boys.	Drakken: Boys, boys, boys! Who shall I go to the dance with? Who's the perfect boy? (Kim and Ron enter) Kim: You're right, Drakken - boys, dating, that's hard. But this ... is easy! (She punches Drakken, who falls backward).	Drakken's taunt finishes at the word "perfect" and he is then knocked backward by Kim's unseen punch
Climax of final battle, where Kim confronts Shego	Kim: You know what I really hate? Shego: That your date melted? Kim: Nah ... you! (She kicks Shego backward into the tower, which collapses on top of her)	The dialogue is omitted, and Shego is simply knocked back into the tower by Kim's unseen kick.

• While Ron is getting ready for the prom, there is a sticker on his mirror that says "No to 65". This is a reference to the fact that Kim Possible, excluding So The Drama, reached 65 episodes[citation needed], which Disney referred to as the magic number for a series to have a maximum amount of episodes before the series becomes "stale". After fans demanded the show continue, the series was renewed for a final season, allowing Kim Possible to surpass 65 episodes. (See 65th Episode Rule for more information as to why 65 episodes used to be the cut-off point for a Disney series.)
• In the Japanese dub for So the Drama, all songs are kept in English aside from Could It Be, which was also sung by Kim's Japanese voice actor, Arisa Ogasawara.
• There are only two times when blood is shown. First, during the battle with Shego, Kim gets scratched on her upper arm and for a few seconds blood can be seen until the battle suit regenerates. Second, while being arrested Shego's lips are bleeding.
• It should be noted that when Ron realizes his feelings for Kim he fails to take note of the time Kim romantically pursues him under the control of the Moodulators and during that time the idea of Kim liking him made Ron uncomfortable. Why he never thinks of that time is unknown. But in any case it is ironic as at that time he wanted to break up with Kim out of fear that dating would compromise their friendship, when instead it was the fact that Kim was dating someone else that ended up compromising it.
• Jim and Tim are revealed to have been banned from making fusion experiments after getting in trouble with the fire department too many times.
• Wade is confirmed to live in Middleton, as shown when his Diablo toy attacks and damages his room.
• Mr. Nakasumi can speak fluently in English. He just loves to whisper in his assistant's ear.
• Given that Tara took Jason Morgan, the Middleton High School basketball team's star forward, to the prom, it can be assumed that Tara broke up with Josh Mankey between the events of Emotion Sickness and So the Drama.
• We learn in the film that Kim's father's full name is Dr. James Timothy Possible (hence why Jim and Tim are named after their father's first and middle names, respectively).
• Final appearance of Brick Flagg as he would graduate from Middleton High School between the events of So the Drama and Ill-Suited.
• Final appearance of Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko.

Errors

• The parade balloons that are shown in front of the Nakasumi float are inconsistent throughout the prologue:
  • When Shego fires a smokescreen missile at the float, there's only a dog, a cat, and a bird balloon.
  • In the next shot, a panda balloon is added.
  • Right before Shego activates a grapple claw to grab Nakasumi, there's a frog, cat, and panda balloon with the dog and bird balloon missing.
  • In one of the shots right after Ron zooms into the air because of the blaster briefs, there's only the dog, cat, and bird balloon with no frog or panda balloon in sight.
  • When the neon sign gets destroyed, only the bird, panda, and cat balloons are shown with no dog or frog balloon in sight.
  • Finally, when Shego charges into the balloons, she grabs onto the dog, cat, frog, bird, and panda balloons.
• When Kim is skating on one of the neon signs featuring the Nakasumi toy parade ad, the yellow surface is miscolored red despite covering up most of the sign.
• As established in Crush, Nakasumi's assistant is named Yoshiko. But, here, in So the Drama, her name is Miss Kyoko.
  • Though not confirmed, it is possible that Nakasumi's assistant's full name is Yoshiko Kyoko.
• In the first when Kim sees Jim and Tim's missiles flying, the open cupboard is automatically closed, though Kim could have put the cereal away and put the milk back in the fridge off-screen. But a couple of shots later, her cereal bowl and spoon are missing. There's no way Kim would have finished her cereal before destroying the missiles that fast.
  • Or they simply got knocked off the table.
• When Shego goads Synthodrone 843 into charging in only to get scolded by Dr. Drakken for breaking his "toys", the remains of Synthodrone 842 is missing.
• Also, as the janitor is cleaning up Synthodrone 842's remains, the mask is missing.
• The cushion that is located on the opposite side of "Big Daddy" Brotherson's glass table only appears when he orders Drakken to have a seat and having Drakken play his silly games. The cushion is missing in the scenes when Drakken gets thrown out for not knowing the password, as well as Drakken getting Brotherson's grocery list.
• When Kim and Shego are brawling on top of the poker table, the remaining chips on the table are blue, yellow and red. But, in one of the later shots, all the chips are yellow and there are very few chips remaining on the table.
• In a couple shots, the buttons on Big Daddy Brotherson's jacket is missing.
• When Kim interrogates Shego, the dining cart that knocked Shego over has vanished.
• In the cafeteria scene, when Kim was with the cafeteria lady, her t-shirt was blue, but in the next scene it was red.
• At cheerleading practice all of the girls', except Kim's, belly buttons were not there in some scenes.
• The French banner for the Little Diablos has "Les Petit Diablos", which should be "Les Petits Diablos".
• Shortly after Kim jumps through Drakken's hologram, the lipstick mark on her upper lip is briefly missing for a second. It reappears again after Kim regains her composure.
• In most of the scenes where Drakken contacts Kim through his hologram, his skin is white instead of light blue. Drakken's skin then becomes light blue when he bids farewell to Kim and Ron before he leaves to settle in his new lair.
• When Kim was fighting the Synthodrones for the first time, a laser burnt a hole in her sleeve, but the hole disappears in the next scene.
• When Kim is seen wearing the dress at Club Banana, she is shown to be wearing heels but in the next frame, she is wearing sandals.
• When Bonnie is trying on one of her dresses, there is no tag on the side. However, as soon as Bonnie runs out of the store, triggering the store alarm, a tag is shown on the dress.
• When Monique is in the changing stall, she's wearing a purple dress. But when she steps out of the changing stall to distract Bonnie, a few seconds later, she's wearing a lavender dress.
• There are no store employees or security guards seen chasing after Bonnie for unintentional shoplifting.
  • They could have done so off-screen.
• When Eric asks Kim if she wants to grab a bite with him, Monique is not with them. Though Monique could have gone back into the changing stall to try on a different dress.
• When Ron exits the change room, he exits from the one on the far right. However, Rufus drags Ron's pants from the change room, second from the far right, and Ron runs into the same stall as Rufus.
• The panels on the screen that Shego is looking at are very inconsistent:
  • When Shego first looks at the screens, the "teen scene junk" panel is slightly below the "Synthodrone Personality and Performance Upgrades" screen, but in the close-up, the "teen scene junk" screen is further right from the "Synthodrone Personality and Performance Upgrades" screen.
  • Three of the other screens (one to feature cosmetics and two are Nakasumi's toy logos) are missing when the camera provides a close-up shot when Shego looks at four screen panels.
  • Also, when Shego says, "There is no plan here! No way!", the screen walls feature different images (Nakasumi, a Bueno Nacho takeout bag, a Nakasumi Toy Parade flyer, and the Lil' Diablo concept art)
  • Then, when Shego activates her powers and exclaims, "WHY NOT?!", one of the screens now features a complete Lil' Diablo Toy and an old style mobile phone while the Nakasumi Toy Logo has moved to the bottom right corner and the Club Banana logo (as part of the "teen scene junk") is moved to the top left corner of the screen wall.
  • When Shego turns off her powers and says, "True," the screen wall now features an image of a sliced pizza, a dress, and what appears to be a new cellphone model.
  • Then when Shego exclaims in astonishment, "You just might win", the screen wall features an image of a Naco and a makeup compact.
• When Nakasumi exclaims, "That is my character!" as the children run out of Bueno Nacho with their Diablo toys, the red handkerchief in his jacket pocket is missing.
• The first time Ron exclaims, "I'M LOSING EVERYTHING I CARED ABOUT!", he is seen inside the Bueno Nacho with the windows and hanging plants in the background while the Possible family (minus Kim) were watching the news. But when Kim watches Ron freaking out in the news on the Kimmunicator, the windows and the hanging plants are missing.
• When Rufus shoves the red paint away, the ammo can for the stones has disappeared for the rest of the treehouse scene.
• The lantern is seen on hanging on the left side of Ron's head, but when Ron glumly says, "Camp Wannaweep, the worst summer of my life," the lantern is hanging on the right side of Ron's head.
• Before Ron admits that he missed Kim while he was away at Camp Wannaweep, Rufus is not seen. After Ron finally admits missing Kim during camp, Rufus appears on one of the sofa arms.
  • Though Rufus could have jumped onto the couch offscreen.
• There are cheese on the nachos when Rufus finishes the meal, but up until the end of the treehouse scene, there is no cheese shown.
• When Eric talks about taking Kim to the prom, it is nighttime. But in the next shot showing the Stoppables' house, it is sunset.
• When Rufus helps Ron tie his bow tie, the strip photo featuring Kim and Ron in the top right corner of the mirror is missing in two shots.
• Right before Kim descends the stairs, each of the picture frames on the wall is blank. But after Kim walks by and Ann sadly looks at one of the picture frames, the picture of Kim and Ron in their early years is shown.
  • While noteworthy, is not necessarily an error… this is hand-drawn animation, not filmed. Leaving details out sometimes means animators spend less/unnecessary time, so less money, time is money. Practical decisions are not errors. Also, even with film, sometimes things like this can appear blank due to angles, lighting, etc.

• Where did the mini Diablos go off to after they hid from Ron, just when Ron was trying to show Kim their existence?
• Kim's purse position is inconsistent:
  • Kim has her purse over her right shoulder after leaving prom with Ron and later learn about the stolen cybertronic technology from James.
  • After exiting the basement, the purse is across her body.
  • Later, when the two Diablo toys enlarge, Kim's purse is now over her left shoulder.
  • As soon as Kim orders her father to run and get the rest of the family out of the house, it is back to being across her body.
• While the two Diablo toys enlarge and attack Kim and Ron, only one is seen chasing after the two once Kim and Ron exit the house and escape on Ron's scooter.
• In some shots during the Diablo chase scene, Kim's purse is missing.
• While Ron did take off his helmet off-screen as the Diablo reverts into its harmless toy form, Kim's helmet has simply disappeared.
• The two Diablo toys attack and destroy portions of the Possible's house. Later, when Kim goes to put on her battlesuit, the house is shown to be automatically repaired as if the destruction scene never happened.
• In some scenes, Kim's stockings are in a lighter shade. These can be seen when:
  • Dr. James Timothy Possible mentions the Hephaestus Project
  • Kim and Ron take cover behind a bush
  • Right before James throws two helmets at Kim and Ron
  • Right after the Diablo robot activates its rocket skates to begin chasing the two
  • When Ron and Kim jump over Lars as to lure the Diablo robot into the command centre
  • When Kim puts on her battle-suit.
• In one scene after Rufus activates the rocket boosters, the lipstick mark on Kim's upper lip is missing. Though it could have been due to the two struggling to hang on to the scooter because of the boost in speed.
• When Kim and Ron drive to Bueno Nacho headquarters, and Ron admits he wanted a battle-suit too, Kim is missing her backpack.
• Additionally, when Kim and Ron enter the Bueno Nacho headquarters, Kim's backpack is also missing. It will not even reappear until after Ron admits his feelings to Kim in the storage area. Also, Kim's backpack disappears again after Kim and Ron escape captivity.
• When the Sumo Ninja says, "What?", his hands are coloured black like his suit, even though he is shown to be barehanded throughout the film.
• The Sumo Ninja's nunchucks appear and disappear throughout the encounter:
  • When he is running on the wall, he is seen carrying two.
  • Then, when he grabs Ron and pins him to the wall, his nunchucks are gone. They are not even placed on his belt.
  • Then, after getting knocked out by the knockout gas gadget, he is shown carrying one nunchuck.
• When Kim and Shego are fighting, and Shego says "Like I was saying... what?" her mouth does not move.
• Then, when Kim says, "You were saying?" both Kim and Shego are fighting on the main floor, even though the battle briefly paused on top of one of the walkways.
• When Ron roots for Kim, it looked as though he was on a higher floor because of the railings. But after knocking out the sumo ninja, he is seen on the main floor.
• When Shego says, "Hey, Eric's cute. Once you're out of the picture, maybe I'll date him," the blue stripe on Kim's battle-suit's right hand is missing. The same stripe is also missing when Kim defeats Shego the first time.
• Ron's backpack disappears after Shego knocks out Ron and has Kim and Ron tied up in the storage area.
• When Kim says, "Rufus? Rufus! You can save us!" the lower part of the vertical blue stripe that is on the front side of her battle-suit is missing.
• While Rufus cannot bite through the ropes, how come Kim could not use the force field function on her battle suit to break the ropes after Ron's pep talk? Unless Eric shorted out the suit when he electrocuted Kim.
• How did Eric climb up to the transmission tower that fast?
  • Also, how did Rufus sneak into Eric's suit before puncturing him?
• During one chase, some of the people running in the background have vanished as soon as one of the Diablos blasts a part of the road off.
• The crowd at the prom gathered around to watch the news of Kim stopping the Diablo plot and noticed Kim and Ron enter the prom together. But in the scene where the crowd cheers for Kim and Ron dating after Bonnie failed to mock the two, some of the members of the crowd appear off to the side and much closer to the entrance. Though they could have moved a bit off-screen when Bonnie tries to mock the two.
• There is a DJ at prom, but when Rufus and Monique are watching Kim and Ron dance, the DJ station is replaced by a small DJ player with several records next to it on a small table. Keep in mind that prom was paused for an unspecified time due to the Diablo attack, and no one was allowed to leave the school building without running the risk of getting hurt.
• There are no decorations (seaweed props, hanging drapery) in the background the first time the shot features Kim and Ron dancing, but in a later shot, after showing Rufus, Monique, Bonnie, and Brick watching the two, there are decorations shown in the background.
