* DidntSeeThatComing: As Gwen lampshades, Albedo wasn't prepared to have to navigate Ben's trash pile of a bedroom to try to attach the Cassiopean Dream-Eater to his face, resulting in what happens to him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Though Albedo is their enemy, and he attempted to trap Ben in a LotusEaterMachine, the trio agrees that keeping Cassiopean Dream-Eater on him is a FateWorseThanDeath, and end the episode by trying to contact a Galvan doctor to help him.



* OutOfCharacterAlert: Ben starts to notice something off when Vilgax acts like a NoNonsenseNemesis rather than a LargeHam. His suspicions are confirmed when Gwen concerns herself more with recovering the Ultimatrix than the apparent death of Kevin.

According to Kevin, it's almost impossible to remove without the help of a Galvan doctor unless you want to rip off the victim's face as well.

* ChekhovsGun: The smoothie that Ben knocked over in his sleep is what saved his life. Albedo slipped on it and accidentally had the Cassiopean Dream-Eater latch onto his face.
