History Recap / Ben10S3E5Benwolf

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: While fighting the Yenaldooshi, Ben discovers that the Omnitrix isn't on his wrist. Moments later, after the pendant fails to destroy the Yenaldooshi, Ben's transformation finishes and the Omnitrix appears on his Benwolf form's waist, revealing he's actually an ''alien'' werewolf.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: This episode is one of a few whose events help build up to the final showdown of the season.

* ContrivedCoincidence: The cactus Gwen and Kai need to cure Ben's condition is stated to be extremely elusive, and the two are driven to exhaustion trying to find it. But somehow, Gwen ([[PainToTheAss her butt]], to be specific) chances on that ''exact'' cactus, which doesn't even notice until Kai takes note of it.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Kai tries to be polite about it when she tells Ben he's "not [her] type", but it nonetheless is cold comfort for the fact she was only interested in his Benwolf form so she could "train" and "tame" him.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Framed as a BaitAndSwitch. When Kai voices she's only fascinated in Ben for his Benwolf transformation and the potential to "train him" and "tame him". To this, Gwen fiercely calls out Kai on valuing Benwolf over the real Ben, telling her she can't treat Ben that way. Ben is grateful for a moment. ...But then Gwen voices that the only reason this offends her is because ''only she'' can treat her cousin that way.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Gwen (Tomboy) and Kai (Girly Girl). While she later became more snarky and sharp tongued in Omniverse, in the original series Kai was quite soft spoken and mellow. This, along with the fact that her role was being the love interest to Ben in the episode, contrasted strongly with the snarky and sharp tongued, short-tempered Gwen. Kai also spent the episode getting captured a lot and played the role of DamselinDistress while Gwen was a lot more active in joining in the action, even running straight towards the werewolf at one point.
* WrongGenreSavvy: For most of the episode it looks like their after a regular werewolf that infected Ben with a bite and thy act accordingly before finding out the wolf isn't actually an alien whose DNA the watch absorbed.

* BigfootSasquatchYeti: Wes is a former plumber and recalls hunting a yeti with Max once.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Gwen (Tomboy) and Kai (Girly Girl). While she later became more snarky and sharp tongued in Omniverse, in the original series Kai was quite soft spoken and mellow.

Kai also spent the episode getting captured a lot and played the role of DamselinDistress while Gwen was a lot more active in joining in the action, even running straight towards the werewolf at one point.

The Tennysons visit a Navajo reservation in New Mexico and Max's old friend Wes Green, and Ben gets a crush on his granddaughter Kai. Unfortunately, sightings are reported of a Yenaldooshi, a Navajo werewolf, and while Ben is fighting it, the wolf bites him, then scratches the Omnitrix before it escapes. Now the Tennysons and the Greens must find a way to stop the Yenaldooshi, and things are complicated when Ben slowly transforms into a Yenaldooshi himself.

* PetTheDog: When Kai rejects Ben romantically, being more interested in his Benwolf form as a pet, Gwen angrily calls her out on this.
