History Recap / Ben10UltimateAlienS3E15CatchAFallingStar

* SequelEpisode: To “[[Recap/Ben10UltimateAlienS1E09HeroTime Hero Time]]”.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Jennifer lays the hurt on Ben with Nesmith's mech, not only while he's in his Eatle form, but almost killing him after he detransforms.

-->'''Gwen:''' You ever heard of StockholmSyndrome?\\

* StockholmSyndrome: Jennifer has grown attached to Nesmith after being previously kidnapped and becomes an accomplice in his escape. Gwen lampshades and explains this trope to Ben. Likely one of the straightest examples in animated fiction and is shockingly PlayedForDrama.

In our 47th episode, we see the return of Carl Nesmith, aka. Captain Nemesis, aka Overlord. Humiliated by his previous loss by the hands of Ben, he's freed from federal prison by the mentally troubled Jennifer Nocturne. However, Nesmith has murder on the mind, and the circumstances of the break out causes Ben to assume Jennifer's being held against her will.

* BittersweetEnding: Nesmith is defeated but Jennifer is hurt during the battle. Nesmith does care enough to tell her to act like she was kidnapped in order to get the medical help she needs, but it's likely she still has feelings for him, and the whole experience has exacerbated her mentality.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Hoo boy, not only are Gwen and Ben almost beaten to death with Mecha armor, but Nesmith repeatedly shows off his tendency to just kill people. He murders the plastic surgeon, Dr. Pervis, and stuffs him in a freezer, and ends up killing an innocent driver who's only intention was to help. We also see a look into Jennifer's background, with an implicitly abusive mother to boot. We even lose our resident comic relief, Kevin Levin, leaving the episode's tone relatively consistently bleak.

* MadLove: Jennifer is aware Nesmith is a terrible person, but she sticks to him like glue. He views him as the only thing she has left, and is even willing to kill for him.

* AbsenteeActor: Kevin doesn't appear in this episode interestingly enough, only getting a mention. Explaining this away as him working on the Rust Bucket 3, and he is said to have helped hack into Jennifer's phone records.

* AbusiveParents: Maybe, Jennifer's mom seems rather worn down, living in a trashy campervan, and is completely and concerningly uncaring about the present state of her daughter.
