"October 31st" is the fourteenth episode of Kim Possible, and the series' Halloween episode.
Plot[]
While attempting to take back the Centurion Project, which appeared to be a small metallic bracelet, from Dr. Drakken, Kim Possible manages to get it stuck around her wrist, not knowing what it does.
Later that same day, Monique told her that Josh Mankey would be at her Halloween party, and Kim felt compelled to lie to Ron Stoppable and her mother so she could sneak off to Monique's party. She told her mother she was going Trick or Treating with Ron, which they did traditionally when they were kids, but tells Ron she had to be with her mother at a hospital-organized haunted house. Wade helped her realize that every time she lied the Centurion Project grew on her body, covering more and more of it.
Drakken and Duff Killigan were both separately listening in to the conversation at different points of time, and they each heard one of the two lies Kim told her entourage. Thinking she told the truth, Drakken went to the hospital while Killegan headed for the neighborhood, each trying to get their hands on the Project.
At Monique's party, Kim spoke with Josh, who was dressed as a pirate. He was very intrigued by the fact that she was dressed as a princess and had a cybernetic hand, which, unknown to him, was actually the Centurion Project. As Kim continued to lie, still trying to impress him, it grew more and more, eventually covering her whole body in a powerful battle suit.
Using this technology, she flew over to the hospital where the two villains were questioning her parents on her whereabouts with Ron as a hostage. They fought, and she won thanks to the Centurion Project's abilities. However, she is confronted by both Ron and her parents about lying to them, she confesses that she went to Josh's party and comes clean with her lies to them. No longer stressed because she released it with her confession to her parents and Ron, the cybernetic armor receded back to its original dormant bracelet form, but the villains still attack her until Kim's father stops Drakken and tells him he needs to talk to his daughter for lying to them. Later, the villains are disappointed in Kim for lying to Ron and her parents as they are arrested and taken away by the police.
Later, Ron, Kim's parents, and even her brothers are disappointed in Kim for lying to them. Kim admitting that she no idea her lies would put everyone in danger and promises to never lie to them again, but is grounded for a month. Ron then proposed to Mankey they go Trick or Treating, which he accepted. Josh was even agreeable with Ron's two-person unicorn costume, of which Ron was the back-end. Kim, who had been expressing Trick or Treating as lame, regretted her decisions as her crush left with Ron, while she was grounded.
Trivia[]
General[]
- This is the fourteenth episode in chronological order.
- This is one of the few episodes in the series where Kim is actually grounded.
- In production order, this is the last episode of season 1.
- Whenever the Centurion Project grows and transforms Kim should she lie can somewhat be similar to the character Pinocchio, where his nose would often grow if he ever told a lie.
Goofs[]
- As Kim answers her phone to talk to Monique, the Centurion Project is no longer on her left arm.
- When the Centurion Project activated in full, it tore apart the princess costume Kim was wearing for Monique's party, but somehow the Kimmunicator was trapped within the armor. When the armor was deactivated, Kim was back to her normal clothes.
- So either this is a minor consistency error or Kim had her normal clothes on under both the princess costume and the battle armor, or the Kimmunicator was inexplicably tucked into her undergarments.
- As the Centurion Project deploys and covers Kim's head, it covers her tiara. However, when the Project retreats back into the bracelet, she is no longer wearing the tiara.
- When Kim is talking to Wade upstairs about the Centurion Project, she is barefoot. When she answers Ron at the door, a second or two later, she is wearing shoes.
- It wasn't really an error. In fact, it takes longer than a few seconds to get down a couple flights of stairs, from Kim's room to the front door. It takes a woman hardly any time to slip shoes on.
- Actually, this is what happened; Kim had her shoes the whole time she was on the phone with Monique, then she realized that her bracelet had grown. Following a commercial break, Kim has her shoes off while talking to Wade. So the only real error is that she would bother to take off shoes at that point.
- It wasn't really an error. In fact, it takes longer than a few seconds to get down a couple flights of stairs, from Kim's room to the front door. It takes a woman hardly any time to slip shoes on.
- When Kim answers the door, her green shirt should be in Ron's sightline. Yet he does not react at all to the battle armor growing over it, or the fact that her shirt is suddenly metallic silver.
- When Kim finally gets to the party, both her arms are armored. But this occurs before the right one is covered.
- At the end of the episode, both of Shego's gloves are green, rather than one being green, and the other black.
- While kicking Duff Killigan then throwing Shego at Killigan, the Centurion Project on Kim's right wrist is missing.
- When Drakken tries to take the Centurion Project off Kim's wrist, his dark circles around his eyes were not black like they normally were even when he closes them.
Continuity[]
- The site where Drakken and Shego deal with Duff Killigan to acquire the Centurion Project is the same location as Kim met with "Big Daddy" Brotherson in "Number One".
