But that's just the thing. They're really trying to make this retcon, that makes absolutely no sense at all when you look at many UAF episodes (like Basic Training (Ben's a Plumber, and so is Kevin, which should've made finding him take no more than a second), Vendetta, Absolute Power and the rest of the Aggregor arc), look like it makes sense. This is not a matter of some underlying mission; Servantis is not continuing to control Kevin making the entire episode pointless (but it wouldn't be the first time an episode was absolutely pointless (*cough* And Then There Were None/Was Ben *cough*)). I completely agree with oneofthosedf, but for the record, locating kevin didn't take anymore than a split second. Ben already knew where he was. The reason the other plumbers didn't was because he turned in his badge. And this episode wasn't pointless. Its building up to the final 2 episodes of this arc. And how was and then there was none pointless? It was a celebration of Ben 10's 200th episode. Did it affect the over all plot much? No, but it wasn't supposed to, and neither were a lot of other specials in Ben 10's history that were also good.

What was the point of Alien Swarm? Elena and the chips have been mentioned in like 2 episodes since, but when the movie was being made do you really think that they were planning for these characters to be in the show? Because they weren't. The only point of having Ben 10 specials like Secret of the Omnitrix, RAT, Alien Swarm, and Heros United was just because they were cool.

Some of these specials have been referenced since then, but And then there were none probably will too. Just give it some time.
