Synopsis
Taking place in modern day China, Jack Spicer (Danny Cooksey) travels to visit Chase Young (Jason Marsden), one of the most powerful Heylin Warriors, with a proposition to take down the Xiaolin Monks once and for all. While Chase Young explains the Heylin Comet is coming in a matter of days, they are both interrupted by Hannibal Bean (Tom Kenny), who suggests preoccupying the Xiaolin Monks until the Heylin Comet arrives. By doing so, the three of them decide to focus on Raimundo Pedrosa, the Shoku Warrior and leader of the monks, by finding his weakness and taking advantage of him.

At the Xiaolin Temple, Omi (Tara Strong) and Raimundo (Tom Kenny) practice sparring, only for Omi to need assistance from Clay Bailey (Jeff Bennett). Omi's misstep gives Raimundo an opening to take a quick break. Clay asks where their teammate Kimiko Tohomiko (Grey Griffin) is, in which Omi replies Kimiko is meditating in another part of the temple. A flustered Raimundo goes to check on Kimiko, while Clay and Omi decide to spy on their leader. Raimudno interrupts Kimiko's meditation session by asking if he can join her, and while Kimiko at first thinks its a prank, she realizes Raimundo is being sincere. She welcomes Raimundo's company, and the two of them start meditating together, but it is short-lived when Dojo Kanojo Cho (Wayne Knight) interrupts and reveals a Shen Gong Wu sighting.

The monks end up in Russia to find the Polar Paws, a Shen Gong Wu that allows the user to turn into a polar bear. Unfortunately, Kimiko isn't dressed properly for the occasion, which gives Raimundo an opening to offer his coat. The kind gesture is witnessed by Omi and Clay, who begin to piece together Raimundo's affection for Kimiko. They are interrupted when Jack, Hannibal and Chase Young appear, although Omi is baffled since Hannibal and Chase Young normally have no interest in Shen Gong Wu. The monks commence in a fight with the Heylin, and Chase Young is observant when he sees Raimundo quickly coming to Kimiko's aid when she is nicked by Jack's Jack Bots. Before Jack can acquire the Shen Gong Wu, Chase Young stops the fight and hands the Polar Paws to Omi, informing Hannibal and Jack that he has found Raimundo's weakness. After the Heylin leave the battle, Omi, Clay and Kimiko ask Raimundo what he thinks his weakness is. Raimundo tries to play it off by stating he doesn't have one, and tries to change the subject by telling the monks they have to deliver the Shen Gong Wu to the Xiaolin Temple. However, Kimiko is suspicious that she is his weakness, although she is unsure why.

Omi and Clay decide to dedicate the next day to figuring out Raimundo's weakness, but Kimiko decides to take a more subtle approach. She has Raimundo meditate, and only then Raimundo realizes that his weakness is Kimiko because he's in love with her. Seeing they made progress, Kimiko asks Raimundo what it is, but Raimundo once again plays it off, which causes Kimiko to become disappointed. However, the Heylin realize that Ir's Kimiko, and send Jack to fight the monks in an effort for Chase Young to flesh Raimundo's feelings out.

Master Fung (Maurice LaMarche) has the monks prepare for the battle against evil by working on their elements, but during the training, Omi, Dojo and Clay become aware that Raimundo has feelings for Kimiko. Raimundo admits he's afraid of Kimiko not reciprocating his feelings, in which Omi volunteers to ask Kimiko about her thoughts on Raimundo. As Omi and Clay ask Kimiko about her affection for Raimundo, Kimiko shuts down the conversation. However, she realizes she's also in love with him, but decides to hide it until she can get him to admit to It first. Raimundo and Kimiko stargaze and try to figure out each others feelings, but before they can make progress, Jack shows up with his Jack Bots and attempts to raid the Shen Gong Wu temple. The monks are successful in stopping the Jack Bots, but become perplexed when Jack only steals one Shen Gong Wu, the Shroud of Shadows. Raimundo realizes Jack wasn't there for Shen Gong Wu and was there to observe him instead. Raimundo becomes partially truthful when he mentions Kimiko is his weakness, but fails to mention his feelings for her. Raimundo then declares he will protect her with his life,

Omi and Clay go to spy on Chase Young only to find out they are aware of Kimiko reciprocating Raimundo's feelings. Chase Young mentions the Heylin Comet, but Omi and Clay question what it's for.
