Jacob is mistaken for The Amazing Ronald when he dons the colourful costume at Morty's book signing. At first this causes great embarrassment for Jake, but in the end, he not only fills the costume, he fills the caped crime fighter's shoes, as he foils Fish and Fowl's elaborate plan to take credit for his Dad's latest book. Jake is proud that his adventure is just the inspiration his Dad needs to write his next book.
When the neighbourhood gets too loud for Miss Sweetiepie, she modifies an old gramophone so that it can capture sound instead of broadcast it.

Frustrated by never having a matching pair of socks, Jacob investigates the inner workings of the dryer and discovers that it is actually a portal to a parallel universe.

Barnaby Dinglebat hatch a plan to get Jacob back to his proper dimension.
Buford accidentally switches places with Bobo, a chimp from Canadian Space Camp. Since the Space Camp excursion was originally meant for Jake, he's somewhat annoyed that Buford went in his stead… until Bobo turns out to be one cool amigo. Having Bobo as a new best friend improves Jake's social status tenfold. Although Jake's enjoying his new popularity, he can't help but miss his best bud. Bobo helps Jacob rescue an eternally oblivious Buford who is headed for the moon in a rocket built from the most Canadian of building materials; birch bark.
Principal I.M. Greedyguts' good twin brother is so good that everyone at Dreary Meadows wants to enroll in Y.B. Greedyguts' Cheery Meadow's Elementary School. This makes I.M. see the error of his ways when even Sour Pickle jumps ship, but it doesn't move him enough to resort to old-fashioned honesty to get the staff and students to return. And it turns out that if things over at Cheery Meadows seem too good to be true, they probably are.
Spineless Spencer, a celebrity hockey player who's more interested in the celebrity than the hockey, launches a new line of ice skates. Everyone's got a pair… except for Jacob, who's stuck with an old, hand-me-down pair that look more like boots than skates. Jake endures some light-hearted teasing, but Dad assures him that it's not the gear, but the heart inside the gear that counts. Jake follows this advice and uses it to beat Spineless at his own game.
Due to a spat between Noah and Emma (a.k.a. the Intrepid Shapiro and the Fearless O'Toole), it looks like Kid Power will be disbanded forever, just when Jacob has finally been allowed to join their noble ranks. It's up to Jacob to deal with a looming crisis and heal the rift between his feuding siblings in the process.

Renee attempts to get the boys to say "personkind" instead of "mankind."
