A Sticky Situation is the one hundred and twenty-seventh episode of Ben 10.

Synopsis[]

All Ben wants to do is stop Queen Bee from robbing a bank, but Kevin shows up to try and be the hero and take the glory for himself.

Plot[]

In a novelty shop, Ben struggles to free himself from a finger trap. While fumbling around, he accidentally knocks over a snow globe, both items which Max pays for while Gwen tries to calm Ben down.

The three hit the road in the Rustbucket, with Ben's fingers still stuck. He keeps unsuccessfully trying to pull his fingers out, and Gwen tells him he has to try out a different method. Ben tries to gnaw away at the finger trap, failing to break it. Gwen tries to explain to him that she meant he has to try out new tactics when his old ones don't work (which inadvertently does free Ben's right hand), but she is cut off by Max, who points out the Laughlin Mint & Museum currently undergoing a robbery. Ben recognizes the guards glued to the walls with honey as the work of Queen Bee.

Inside the bank, Queen Bee rides atop a massive floating platform with two of her henchmen. She's confronted by two more guards, who are both dispatched by one of her henchmen's honey bombs. She then fires a string of honey from her platform, which sticks to a vault door. She rips the door (and its wall) out, and enters the vault to find hundreds of gold ingots. She orders her henchmen to the collect the bars, when suddenly, someone busts down the wall across from her. Assuming they're Ben, she taunts him for being too late. Kevin as Wreckingbolt emerges from the dust, laughing at her assumption. He introduces himself, saying he's going to wreck her world. Queen Bee is put off, calling him "Ben, but edgy". She then fires honey at him, knocking him back outside and tumbling down a hill.

Wreckingbolt fights Shock Rock

There, he's found by Ben as Shock Rock, who questions why he's there. Wreckingbolt tells him he isn't supposed to be there, and that he can also be heroic, since according to his agent, he can become rich being a good guy. His agent, Anthony Roachisano, then appears, introducing himself. He kisses up to both Shock Rock and Wreckingbolt, but emphasizes that the latter works alone. Confused, Shock Rock questions Wreckingbolt, who explains that if they work together, they'll have to split the gold. The two begin fighting as Anthony slinks away, with Shock Rock emerging as the victor. He tries to pull Wreckingbolt away, but times out, letting the latter gain the upper hand. Just then, he is interrupted by Anthony, who reminds him that he's supposed to be the hero. Annoyed, Wreckingbolt tosses Ben aside while he and Anthony leave. Max and Gwen catch up to Ben, and ask him if he's okay. Ben tells them he prefers Kevin as a bad guy.

Wreckingbolt checks in on the building, only to see Queen Bee leaving with her loot, and the floor covered in honey. Her henchmen lift the door back into place as Wreckingbolt trudges through the honey. On the other side of the wall, Queen Bee seals the wall with honey, and they leave to rob the other vaults. Anthony follows Wreckingolt through the honey, annoyed that his shoes are getting ruined. Wreckingbolt busts down the door. One of the guards thanks him for saving them, and Wreckingbolt asks him if he has only gold. The guard admits he doesn't, and Kevin confirms to himself it isn't worth it.

Humungousaur's large size backfires

Outside, Max recaps what has went down so far. Gwen says they should call the authorities, but Ben rejects that notion, since that would mean Kevin would be the one to waltz in and get all the glory. Gwen suggests trying to find a new way around the problem, as Kevin may e expecting that, but Ben misunderstands her and transforms into Humungousaur. He runs to the hole in the wall and his family follows him. After trying to enter, he becomes stuck in the hole and Max and Gwen laugh at his misfortune, asking him how his hero thing is going. Humungousaur asks for a push, and they oblige, getting him unstuck. Unfortunately, him and Gwen are left covered in honey. Humungousaur leaves to go find Queen Bee, while Gwen and Max go to contact the authorities.

In another vault, Wreckingbolt and Anthony find Queen Bee stealing more gold. Anthony recommends trying another alien, and Wreckingbolt switches to Hot Shot instead. He confronts Queen Bee, and her henchmen drop down to the ground to fight him. He blasts them away with fire, so Queen Bee shoots honey from her platform. Hot Shot fires back with more flames, solidifying the honey and surprising everyone. However, as Hot Shot gloats, the honey falls on top of him. Queen Bee laughs at his failure.

Anthony is then met by Humungousaur, who he again tries to brown-nose. Humungousaur goes on ahead and tries to talk down Queen Bee, but is knocked away by Hot Shot. He tosses his honey trap aside, shattering it, and reminds Humungousaur he wasn't to be involved. Humungousaur tries to explain to him that he isn't trying to make any money, but Hot Shot refuses to listen and tries to fry him. Humungousaur blocks his fire with one of the vault doors, and a henchman watches. Queen Bee scolds him, telling him to grab more gold. Hot Shot notices, and starts to berate the henchman, which Humungousaur uses as an opportunity to bat him away with the vault door. He slams into the platform, busting the nozzle that released honey. Humungousaur hurls the vault door at the platform, damaging it more, before reverting back to Ben.

Honey quickly begins spilling out of the platform, filling the room and trapping Kevin and the henchmen. Queen Bee complains to Anthony, as he told her the heist would be easy. He lies, saying he had no idea Ben and Kevin would be there, and suggests they retreat with the gold they still have. Ben notices Kevin drowning in the honey, and decides to save him over chasing down Queen Bee. He transforms into Diamondhead and uses his crystal platforms to rescue Kevin. Kevin chastises him for having saved him, but Diamondhead tells him that heroes save people, and that sometimes the bad guy gets away. Diamondhead then leaves to save the henchmen.

Meanwhile, Queen Bee and Anthony try to escape, but the now-busted platform breaks down, and they land in front of some police officers. Kevin and Diamondhead exit the building, and the latter reverts. Gwen and Max then appear, revealing that they didn't get away because they called the police for Ben. Queen Bee and Anthony are then taken away, and the former fires her agent. Anthony then tries to haggle a deal with the arresting officer, as they drive away. Kevin tries to tell Ben he would have saved the day, if he hadn't intruded. The two begin bickering, as Gwen places a finger trap on their fingers. She leaves them to figure out how to get out of them, since they are both apparently so great. Ben begs for Gwen to come back as Kevin tries to order him around.

Quotes


Anthony: Anthony Roachisano, at your service. Hey, you want a picture with the big guy? 20 dollars, but for you, 10. Gotta say, love the electrical vibe you're putting out, chunky rock thing's a little bit...eh, I dunno, tacky, but we can work on that. Give me a call sometime. Next week's no good, we'll be in touch. Back to my man here, I love this guy! He can sink three pointers from any time zone, eat hot dogs all the way to the moon, I've seen him lift an iceberg, singlehanded. He can do anything, but he works alone.
