Plot[]
Ben finds that he's late to return home during in the midst of fighting off a group of Forever Knights alongside Gwen and Kevin, Albedo makes introductions with his parents, under the pretense that he's their son!
While Carl and Sandra make their acceptance to their son's new style and life choices, the real Ben Tennyson walks in, exposing Albedo. The impostor reveals and enacts his plan to reboot his damaged Omnitrix with Ben's and, with his regained abilities, flies out, having transformed into Jetray.
Ben quickly gives his parents a rundown of his prior encounter with Albedo, telling them not to let him in unless they know he's the real one, before taking off as Jetray to find his doppelganger.
During a fight with a menagerie of aliens being used, Albedo seems to push the fight in his favor having transformed into Spidermonkey and keeping all the Echo Echo clones separated, not allowing Ben to transform back into himself. As he does so, he also reveals a Teleporter Pod and throws Echo Echo inside.
Barely clutching on and escaping after transforming back into a human, Ben gets in front of Albedo, telling him that though he beat him as their aliens, he hasn't learnt that in his human form, he should tie his shoelaces. As Albedo is pushed into the portal, Ben rips out the Omnitrix energy core out of the watch, walking away as Albedo gets sucked to an unknown location.
Back home, Ben tries to get inside out of the night cold to the caution of two very interrogating parents.
