Plot
Ben's secret identity is revealed to the entire world, and he is now a megastar superhero loved all over by kids, but distrusted by many adults. After having a long talk with Julie, Kevin tells Ben where to find the one who blabed his secret to the world and they go to pay him a visit. When they arrive they find out how he (Jimmy Jones) knew and with his help they find a new problem. When they arrive at the site (using Kevins new jet) Ben gets arrested because of being mistaken by the police. Luckily, the local government needs their help, and gets Ben out of jail. After being briefed on the situation they try and fail to foil the next robbery. After following the thief they find out that an alien refugee called Bivalvan, (Water Hazard's species) stole all that equipment to repair his ship and go home. After stopping him and leaving him for the Plumbers, Ben reluctantly returns to school. After some encouragement and receiving his first kiss from Julie, he goes in and is soon greeted with applause. Some time later the alien refugee is found and recaptured by the alien he was running from called Agreggor.

Trivia

 * Julie kisses Ben for the first time in this episode (only on the cheek though).


 * The Water Hazard character's name is revealed (Bivalvan). Yet, strangely enough, it is only said that Bivalvan (along with the other 4 new aliens, maybe they are: Terraspin, NRG, Armodrillo and Ampfibian) are from the Andromeda galaxy, and the planet is never mentioned.
 * In this episode, it is shown that Kevin didn't lose his ability to change his hands into different objects which was only seen while he was still mutated.
 * In the new series, Ben and Kevin now no longer share a friendly rivalry. Instead they have become true friends and have started taking each others side, complimenting each other and being concerned about each other. For instance, Kevin almost throws Jimmy in anger for revealing Ben's secret to the world.


 * The Ultimatrix scans it's first DNA sample: Water Hazard.
 * If seen briefly, after Ben reverted back from Spidermonkey, Ben's eyes gleam pink for a moment, foreshadowing something that will happen in the future (possibly involving his Anodite heiritage).
 * It is revealed that there are aliens that are not in the Codon Stream (most likely because the ones in it are only from the Milky Way galaxy, and the 5 new ones are from a different one). Azmuth even mentions a time that DNA collected from around the universe but McDuffie confirmed that it was a error and meant galaxy.
 * Kevin mentions that Florida has some good theme parks; this is a reference to Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Studios Orlando.
 * Looking closely at Chromastones transformation you still see the Omnitrix shape, not the Ultimatrix
 * In one scene Ben has a blue backpack and in the next it is yellow-orange then finally, it is back to blue (or vice-versa).
 * Chromastone makes his first appearance since his destruction (with Ben commenting on how he "wasn't sure (he) still had this one").
