Kim and Ron hurry back to school after a mission, hoping to sign up for their preferred elective classes. However, Bonnie ends up getting the last spot in photography, Kim's top choice, and their only remaining option is Home Economics. At first, the class looks hopeless, with the two of them as the only students in a dusty, deserted classroom (the school's Home Economics-teacher retired six years earlier and, according to Mr. Barkin, nobody's taken the class since then). However, Ron turns out to have a knack for cooking, so Barkin turns the class over to him, while Kim struggles to even operate a blender. Meanwhile, Señor Senior Senior decides that Junior needs some lessons in proper villainy, and hires Shego to tutor him.
After getting off to a slow start, Junior begins to improve, but Senior becomes jealous of the relationship the two have and misses teaching his son the finer points of villainy. Meanwhile, Ron is such a skilled chef that he's given control of Middleton High's food, with an embarrassed Kim as his helper. Much later, Junior hones his skills enough that Shego decides that he's ready to test his skills in the field by pulling off a heist of the most valuable, heavily guarded thing in the world: Granny Crocket's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Figuring out what the pair is up to, Kim and Ron attempt to warn Granny Crockett, but are dismissed (as a disguised Senior already tipped them off), as they're confident that their security can handle things. The two villains effortlessly make it through the security, only to find Team Possible waiting for them. During the fight, Kim uses the advice Ron taught her to escape a giant mixer, and Shego & Junior are sent to jail. But the police pilot turns out to be Senior, who dismisses Shego of her tutoring duties.
Back at school, Ron's restaurant is closed down (due to the health inspector seeing Rufus serving food), but Kim reveals that half the MHS-student body now wants to take Home Economics. She also decides to stay, having gotten much better at cooking through Ron's tutoring.
This episode provides examples of:
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: The Texan at Granny Crocket's place does this to Kim (in addition to calling her "little missy"). She doesn't appreciate it.
- Alliterative Title: Two to Tutor
- Boring Return Journey: Subverted. The episode begins with Kim and Ron parachuting out of a plane. The audience assumes that they're headed for a mission, but in fact they're headed back to school from a mission.
- By the Lights of Their Eyes: Señor Senior Senior, annoyed at being shut out as Shego works with Junior, sends a video warning to the target of their upcoming heist. He records the message in a dark room with only his eyes showing...until Junior barges in and turns on the lights.
- The Cameo: Drakken only appears for a moment at the end of the episode, and doesn't have any lines.
- Continuity Nod: François and Le Goop-hair gel are again featured in an episode with the Seniors.
- Crazy-Prepared: A rare case from Ron - as he notes, when picking electives, you should have a backup and a backup for your backup.
- Dumbass Has a Point: When Shego can't think of a suitable field test for his training, Junior suggests doing a web search for "really valuable" and "heavily guarded", which leads them to select Granny Crocket's recipe as their target, and later in a Call-Back, with Strange Minds Think Alike, when the heroes try to guess the villains' next move:Kim: The Seniors are all about the challenge, they only go for stuff that's really valuable and heavily-guarded.
Ron: You know, we could just run a web search on the words "really valuable" and "heavily-guarded".
Kim: Ron, we're talking a devious criminal mind here. It's not as simple as...
Wade: Got it! Great idea, Ron. - Evil Plan: Shego says this is the most important thing an evil villain must have, not an Evil Laugh. The problem is Shego has trouble thinking one up (
which explains why she puts up with Drakken, even if his plans always amount to Take Over the World) so Junior just looks up something valuable on the internet for them to steal. - Fire-Forged Friends: Shego is exasperated by her dimwitted student at first, but warms up to him as his talent improves.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: Shego catches Junior listening to music instead of listening to her. She solves the problem by grabbing and crushing his music player.
- "Mission: Impossible" Cable Drop + Laser Hallway: Passing this in good time is the subject of the obligatory Training Montage.
- Not Me This Time: An indirect example. When Francois (from "The New Ron") describes the duo who robbed his salon, he mentions a large but not terribly bright boy, who Kim correctly guesses to be SSJ. However, his partner was not SSS, but "a young lady" with "glowing green hands".
- Older Than They Look: Lampshaded by Ron when he and Kim meet the actual Granny Crocket, and Ron points out that she looks way to young to be "Granny" Crockett. Justified in that Granny Crockett got cosmetic surgery to make herself look younger, as implied by this line:Granny Crockett: Well, Granny had a little work done.
- Private Tutor: Señor Senior Senior hires Shego to teach Junior how to be a proper villain.
- Shout-Out:
- Shego has to yank her hand down Dr. Strangelove-style while resisting the urge to Hand Blast her brainless pupil.
- "That Kim, is why you fail".
- When Ron sets up "Chez Ron" in the school, he uses his trademark phrase "booyah" not unlike Emeril Lagasse.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: In a Call-Back to a Dumbass Has a Point moment by Junior, who used the same method...when the heroes try to guess the villains' next move:Kim: The Seniors are all about the challenge, they only go for stuff that's really valuable and heavily-guarded.
Ron: You know, we could just run a web search on the words "really valuable" and "heavily-guarded".
Kim: Ron, we're talking a devious criminal mind here. It's not as simple as...
Wade: Got it! Great idea, Ron. - Supreme Chef: Ron's cooking is so good that all the students (and even the lunch lady) desert the cafeteria in favor of "Chez Ron" and clamor to get into home economics class.
- Taught by Experience: Given that he's rich, Junior asks why they have to steal their villain supplies instead of just buying them. Shego says that, if nothing else, it's valuable experience in how to steal stuff.
- Third Wheel: Señor Senior Senior is made to feel like an outsider as every attempt to check in on Junior's progress or offer advice gets brushed off. He does not take this well.
- Trojan Prisoner: After Junior and Shego are defeated, a police helicopter arrives to pick them up. It turns out to be a fake piloted by Señor Senior Senior, who dismisses Shego and takes Junior home to "polish our evil laughs together".
- Villain Team-Up: Shego and Junior work with each other rather than their usual partners-in-crime.
