Joined by Julie, who has been taking care of Ship, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin mount a raid on the Forever Knights' stronghold to rescue him. Though Chadwick is using a control device to make Ship obey him, Julie is able to convince Ship to resist. The Forever Knights' stronghold is destroyed, and the group now has access to a spaceship since Ship can transform into the vehicle the Forever Knights had hoped to mass-produce.At the end ben says "It is time for you and me to play catch."

Quotes

 * Julie: Yeah, like you and Ben do when you're watching football.
 * Kevin: We do not shriek, (realized, he had shriek, lowers his voice) uh, shriek.


 * Kevin: That guy owes me a new paint job!


 * Gwen: Is that all you can think about? Your car?


 * Kevin: No. Sometimes I think about food.


 * Kevin: Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it! (frantically)

 * Swampfire: (mimicking Kevin) Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it!

Trivia

 * Gwen says "McDuffie is on a going out on a business sale", it's a reference to Dwayne McDuffie, the Story editor of AF.
 * It has been frequent for a character to appoint Kevin as Gwen's boyfriend (e.g. Frank did in What Are Little Girls Made Of?, Helen did in Plumbers' Helpers and Sir Morton did in this episode when he said, "Relax girl. It's not your boyfriend I'm after."
 * The aliens used in this episode are the same aliens used in the third episode of Alien Force.
 * In this episode, it is noticed that Ben and Julie seem to share many similiar traits in nature and likings, like Julie getting equally upset with Ben like how he was upset with her and co-incidently watching the same serial, Brainstealers From Space.
 * Ship is able to transform into any machine wherever he is. However, when Ben could transform into Upgrade, he could only take control of machinery by covering it with his body. He could never completely transform into the object.
 * In "Pier Pressure", in order for Ship to transform into a machine or vehicle, he had to enter it first. (Ex. truck, go-cart, etc...) In this episode he automatically turns into a massive submarine.
 * In "Pier Pressure," Ship had a liking to Ben, but in this episode, Ship has a liking for Julie and shows no interest to Ben.
