Plot
A Galvan (the race that created the Omnitrix and gave Ben the form of Grey Matter) named Albedo builds his own Omnitrix and is permanently stuck in Ben's human form (since wearing the Omnitrix, Ben's DNA has become a default in the Omnitrix, according to Albedo). Now, because they share DNA, they can change into the same forms as each other. Azmuth comes after both Ben and Albedo's Omnitrixes become attached they send out energy pulses, which permanently damages Albedo's human form. Azmuth removes the core of Albedo's Omnitrix, ensuring his human form is both a punishment and a prison for proving himself as a lesser being. Albedo is teleported to a Plumber prison while Azmuth says to Ben that the reason why Azmuth allows Ben to keep the Omnitrix is because of all the beings it could go to, he's the only who uses it for good, not evil.

Trivia

 * It is shown that whenever Ben tells a lie, his left eye twitches.
 * Like Ben, Julie too likes Chilli Fries.
 * Some of the aliens' weaknesses are shown here like Brainstorm has weakness to sonic blasts.
 * The episode title is a reference to the tactic "good cop/bad cop".
 * Julie, is shown to be a clever student in Science when she gets an A whereas Ben is shown to be a below-average student as he gets a C+ as a good grade for him. But in the episode "Paradox", Paradox states that he has a good logic about transdimensional metaphysics. Also, Paradox tells Ben that because of his knowledge in transdimensional metaphysics, he has been saved in many situations in the future.
 * In one scene, Albedo's Omnitrix is seen on his right wrist rather than the left.
 * In another scene, when Albedo is first seen in his cell, his shirt is black. Then in another, it turns white.
 * Gwen's conversation with Ben also refers sleepwalking possibly, a reference to Sublimino who hypnotized Ben in Midnight Madness.
 * At the end of the episode, when Azmuth states that alongside him, somebody else also thought that Ben was the true wielder of the Omnitrix, he was referring to Max, which was revealed in The Final Battle: Part 2, during Ben and Azmuth's conversation.
 * At the end, when Albedo received his dinner in his cell, he demonstrated his unwanted cravings by yelling "Bring me chili fries!"
