As Wildvine, Ben goes undercover with an alien crime ring run by Fistrick, and is tempted by their extreme lifestyle.
Tropes in this episode
- Bait-and-Switch: Max starts giving Ben the standard “wild card” speech, seemingly proud of the results. But then it quickly gets ugly.Max: The next time you pull a stunt like that, I’ll have your father ship you off to military school.
- Frame-Up: An especially poor version. Fistrick’s gang wear ID masks based on Ben’s 4 designs in this series, and instead of acting separately to engage a crime wave, they attack as a gang committing individual crimes, destroying their credulity.
- Jabba Table Manners: Ben’s eating chilli fries leaves his face a mess at a wrong time.
- Literal-Minded: When one of the minions accuses Wildvine of being a plant, Solid Plugg points out “Of course he’s a plant”.
- Running Gag: Rook gains a taste for meatball subs which takes up much of the episode.
- Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Blukic and Driba mod the Omnitrix to lock Ben into his next transformation until a certain code word is stated.
