Blush is the 40th episode of the TV series Kim Possible. It marks Kim's first date (and first kiss) with season 1 crush Josh Mankey, and one of the few occasions that Ron has gone on a mission without Kim.
[edit] Plot Sypnosis
After suffering a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of Kim Possible, Dr.Drakken decides that the best way to defeat Kim is to stop trying to outsmart her, and to start trying to eliminate her. To this end, Drakken stocks up on magazines and begins researching all things teen in the hope of finding some weakness that he can use against her.
Shego: "Oh, save me that no chip nails article, will you"
Drakken: (annoyed grunt)
Shego: "You try keeping a manicure while Kung-fuing it our with teen heroes all day"
After much reading, Drakken conclude that embarrassment is the key to defeating Kim, and he concocts a serum based on the pollen of a rare Amazonian Aurora orchid that, upon contact with a suitable victim, will cause them to begin to vanish each time that they blush, until they disappear completely.
Drakken sprays Kim with his serum and then sits back to watch the shop. Everything appears to be fine for Kim until she reaches the Middleton Mall, at which point she sees her long time crush Josh Mankey. Wanting to make the right impression, but not being sure how to do so, Kim dithers about at the of a flight of stairs and in her indecision manages to trip over the top step. Sending her careening down the steps and onto the floor in front of Josh, Bonnie and a crowd of her fellow teens. To make matters worse, she manages to grab hold of Josh's shirt on the way down, nearly rendering him topless. It is then that Drakken's plan begins to take effect. As Kim begins to blush, and to wish that she could just vanish, part of her does.
With a swirling vortex of nothingness where her stomach used to be Kim gets a scan from Wade, only to be told that the more embarrassed she become, the more of her will vanish. Worse, the only cure is the pollen from the same rare orchid that Drakken used to dose her up in the first place.
Kim is confined to her room as Ron rushes off to find a cure, but she doesn't stay there long. No sooner does Ron leave does Josh Mankey call, asking Kim out on a date. Kim, who has been crushing on Josh "since forever" just can't say no. So, as Ron (along with the the Wadebot XR prototype) heads off down the Amazon, Kim heads off on her first date with Josh. Unfortunately, not only Shego and Drakken are on Kim's tail, but her twin brothers are also on her tail too.
Ron rides rapids, falls down a waterfall, and gets chanced by a big black cat with a bad attitude, while Shego pulls the woopie cushion joke on Kim before Drakken sets a pair of "embarrassment Ninja" on her. However, it looks like the final blow might come from Tim and Jim, who threaten to vanish their older sister for good when they set up an open air screening of some embarrassing home movies, just as Kim and Josh are to have a romantic moonlight walk in Middleton park.
Just as Kim is about to vanish for good, Ron arrives. Blowing the orchids pollen over her, he restores her to normal. Allowing her to finish her date, and to receive a kiss on the cheek from Josh.
