While trying to stop Dr. Drakken, Kim gets into a fight with Shego in which they accidentally get a microchip attached to each of them that can control their emotions. However, when Ron accidentally picks up the control device instead of Kim’s communicator, he thinks it’s a game and he inadvertently controls Kim and Shego’s moods, in which he puts on romance mode before he and Kim go to school. Ron must now deal with Kim’s sudden advances towards him while trying to determine what he should do about the situation, all the while Drakken is dealing with a suddenly love-stricken Shego.

Title: Emotion Sickness:

The title of the episode, Emotion Sickness, is a play on the phrase “Motion Sickness”. (edit)
Veggietales:

Ron’s pickle costume in this episode looks similar to the way Larry the Cucumber looks in Veggietales. (edit)
The Incredible Hulk:

Kim and Shego have just gotten stuck on extreme anger. Then a split-screen is shown, with half of Shego's face and the other half of Kim's face put together. This recalls a technique used in The Incredible Hulk TV show whenever David Banner would change into the Hulk. (edit)
Romeo and Juliet:

The music being played when Kim kisses Ron in front of the locker is from "Romeo and Juliet" ballet score composed by Sergei Prokofiev. It is commonly used in pop culture to express romance, in every thing from Hershey's ads to the Sims computer games. (edit)
Shego: You Talkin' to Me?

The most famous line of Robert DeNiro in Martin Scosese's Taxi Driver (edit)
