Kuzco becomes Red-Eyed Tree Frog man after Yzma turns him into a tree frog and acts like a superhero.

Kuzco is worried that Malina's zit will "throw off his groove" so he tries to make it better with Yzma's potion, but that makes Malina grow a toucan beak.

Kuzco is getting sick of living without his emperor luxuries, so he pretends to be sick to tap into the royal funds. However his lie is seen through and later falls into a real sickness caused by Yzma.

After failing his "squirrel speak" quiz, Kuzco is forced to get tutored by Bucky the Squirrel, whom he really dislikes.

Kuzco faces his first threat of losing his position as emperor when he struggles in P.E. and his teacher threatens to flunk him if he can't win a race with Kronk. However, Principal Amzy (who is really Yzma) tells Kronk to turn Kuzco into a turtle so he has no chance of beating Kronk, but instead, Kronk gives Kuzco the wrong potion and he ends up as a rabbit.
