The episode starts with Kim and Ron in a high school cafeteria discussing their upcoming prom. Ron is worried about having a date for the prom, and Kim reassures him that he will find someone to go with. She suggests he should ask out someone they both know but Ron thinks she is out of his league. Later, while they are searching for the thief who stole the school mascot, they cross paths with a new student named Felix.
Felix is charming, helpful, and a martial arts prodigy just like Ron. Kim introduces Ron to Felix hoping that they would become friends. Ron and Felix hit it off immediately and Kim feels left out. Ron is quickly consumed by his new friendship with Felix and starts to neglect Kim. Ron starts to spend less and less time with Kim in favor of hanging out with Felix.
Kim becomes increasingly frustrated with Ron and decides to confront him about it. Ron is defensive and tells her that he can have multiple friends. Kim is hurt by his response and decides to give him space. She decides to focus on her mission and while doing so, she uncovers a plot by her arch-nemesis Drakken.
Drakken is planning on using a weather machine to create a hurricane and disrupt the upcoming prom. Kim decides to stop him and enlists Ron's help. Ron, who is still spending most of his time with Felix, is initially hesitant to assist Kim, but eventually comes around.
Together, Kim and Ron stop Drakken's plan and save the prom. After the mission, Kim and Ron are reconciled. Ron apologizes for being a bad friend and Kim forgives him. Felix, who had been helping Kim and Ron in the mission, becomes a valuable ally to the team and Kim accepts him as Ron's friend.
