It's ironic that Kimberly was seldom ever punished by her father. She frequently whined and complained until she got her way: the true definition of a spoiled child at work.
Kimberly is planning to go on a ski trip with her friend, not realizing that two boys will also be accompanying them and even staying in the same room. Fed up with being treated like a child by her father (despite her friend pointing out the wisdom that, "if you want to be treated like an adult then start acting like one." As more of a move of defiance than anything else, she agrees to go on the trip.
Drummond and Willis, however, show up at their hotel room, putting Kimberly in a predicament, especially when Drummond finally finds out what's really going on. Of course, Drummond is furious, but Kimberly is also upset about how she's been treated lately.
Unfortunately, this is where things end. Kimberly complains about how she's being treated until Drummond realizes what he's been doing. If the writers had had any real courage, Drummond would have also pointed out that Kimberly in only sixteen, and that trust is earned, not freely given. By not telling Drummond what she'd really been up to, she violated that trust. Of course, this side of things was never revealed. Instead, we have Kimberly, after her "rant" and "tears" finally gets off without punishment or even a word from her father. Not the best episode about upholding good communication and values. Had it been Willis, you can be sure a punishment would have happened.
