Plot
After Ben stands up to Cash and JT, making a fool out of Cash in the process, the two decide to wreck Kevin's car to repair their reputation. After pushing it down a cliff, the trunk is knocked open, and they make off with a laser-firing glove from a robot the group had defeated the previous night. When Cash puts the glove on, it begins to reform into the original robot around his body, compelling him to fight Ben. JT goes to warn Ben, causing Kevin to go after Cash to settle everything, but Cash, having become more powerful from glove, managed to defeat and knock him out. Ben is able to overpower Cash and JT manages to convince Cash to fight the robot's influence, reverting it back into the glove. JT reconciles with Ben and walks away with Cash.

Trivia

 * Cash seems to know about Kevin Levin.
 * Apparently, Cash wanted to kill Ben. But perhaps his intentions were strengthen due to the glove controlling him.
 * When Ben said to Kevin "no juice for you", it is a parody to the Seinfeld episode "Soup Nazi" where the soup chef says "no soup for you.
 * Cash and JT find out about the Omnitrix in this episode, but seem to re-find out in Fame.
 * Kevin was willing to stand up for Ben when Cash stepped in, meaning that Kevin has truly forgiven Ben and treated Ben as a good friend (though teasing him throughout the series).
