According to the episode, Miriam, or "Mim" for short, is a highly respected reporter for turn-of-the-century Middleton's local newspaper. However, while she was reporting on the science exhibition at the world's fair, the new invention of the "Electro-Static Illuminator" was stolen, and Mim was blamed for the theft. It was not until the modern-day Kim Possible heard about her "black sheep" ancestor that it was revealed that Mim was framed for the theft by the ancestors of Shego and Drakken, Miss Go and Bartholomew Lipsky. Mim's closest friend, Jonathan "Jon" Stoppable was a detective, who was every bit as clumsy and scatterbrained as his descendant. He was the only person who believed that Mim was innocent, and he tried desperately, but unsuccessfully, to prove it. Jon was the biggest and only fan of the concept of the taco when it was first unveiled at the fair, which parallels Ron's love for Bueno Nacho fast food.
