Synopsis[]
Vilgax gets a hold of Old George's sword, and tries to gain Dagon's power. Big mistake! And Ben discovers a new alien hero: Eatle.[note 1]
Plot[]
Ben (as Rath), Gwen, Kevin, and a squad of Plumbers are fighting the Esoterica. The Esoterica are planning to take Vilgax to Dagon's heart so that he may regain his power. During the conflict, the Esoterica soldiers detonate explosives in the warehouse they are fighting in and gets away. Kevin is able to capture one member and takes off his mask, revealing that the member is Winston, the squire of the Forever Knights. Because he had previously been mind-controlled by the Lucubra, Dagon was able to control him and anyone else who had originally been controlled by the Lucubra.
They take Winston to the Forever Knights, who are with Sir Cyrus and Sir Driscoll. Ben confronts them and they fire on him. He transforms into Fasttrack and steals their weapons, transforming back into Ben afterwards. Ben tells Cyrus about Winston being an Esoterica soldier and Cyrus attempts to execute Winston. Ben stops Cyrus from executing Winston when he explains that the squire couldn't help himself. Ben demands to know what the Forever Knights have to do with Dagon and Driscoll tells them the tale of Saint George, a knight who fought the Dagon in the Middle Ages. Using his sword Ascalon, he ripped out Dagon's heart, but Dagon did not die, though his power was diminished. George then sealed the Dagon back into his own dimension. Ben then tells Driscoll that he knows that George is alive and that he wants to speak with him. Dagon then takes control of Gwen and explains to them that if Vilgax gets his heart, then he will be able to take control of the entire universe. Driscoll takes the team into George's quarters. Gwen uses her powers to read calculus equations on the walls and figures out where Old George is. She tells the Forever Knights, then they knock out Ben, Gwen, and Kevin and lock them up.
Later on, the Knights find George at an invisible shrine, which travels between Dagon's dimension and the main dimension, built by the Esoterica, and he tells his Knights he must get the heart. They go through the shrine and Esoterica soldiers jump out from statues and attack and outwit all of the Knights with their dimensional jumping abilities, but George just walks through all of them, easily knocking one of them out. He finds the heart pierced through his old sword and is about to grab it when a tentacle pulls him back.
The dying Vilgax grabs the heart and returns to his normal form, then the sword falls into his hand as a Forever Knight suit grows on him. He gains new powers and takes out Edwards, Cyrus, the Knights, and Esoterica with one blow from his right arm. Winston walks over to him (being controlled by Dagon) telling him that in order to be powerful enough to rule the universe, he must break the seal that the Lucubra was trapped in.
After they have escaped, the team flies in the Rust Bucket 3 when Gwen gets a vision and sees Vilgax walking up to the seal, fighting the Knights as he goes. They begin to fly there but realize that they won't get there in time. Ben instructs Gwen to teleport him and Kevin. Kevin puts the ship on autopilot and begins arguing that Gwen is too sick, but she says she can do it. She teleports them.
When they get there, she faints. Ben tries to get Vilgax to stop, saying that Vilgax doesn't know what he is doing, but Vilgax argues otherwise, and Ben then proclaims that he knows what he is doing as well (stopping Vilgax), and transforms into Eatle. Eatle gets ready to fight, but Vilgax shoots a very powerful beam from his eyes and Eatle is knocked out. Kevin absorbs a Forever Knight helmet and tries to attack Vilgax, but the villain easily counters him out by swinging his right arm and Kevin falls on Eatle, who transforms back into Ben. Vilgax breaks the seal, and Gwen crawls over to Ben and Kevin, telling them to wake up. Ben wakes up and sees that Vilgax is screaming and gets sucked into Dagon's dimension.
As Gwen mentions that Dagon now has his heart, Old George regains consciousness as he picks up his sword, and is transformed, his armor is donned and his youth restored, which reveals him to be the first Forever Knight. He then says, "Let them come".

Continuity[]
- Winston being under the Lucubra's control in The Creature From Beyond has led to him being controlled by Dagon, as teased at the end of the latter episode.
Allusions[]
- The name is a reference to the book A Night to Remember, by Walter Lord.
- The design of characters and background in Sir Driscoll's flashback is similar to Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
- Dagon's dragon form resembles Maleficent's dragon form.
- Sir George is revealed to be the same Saint George from Saint George and The Dragon.
Errors[]
- When one of the Plumbers sees the Esoterica soldiers and Vilgax through his binoculars, one of the soldiers is drawn in the same perspective as when Ben saw them using the device he was holding.
- When the wall behind the Esoterica soldiers explodes, the energy orbs around their hands do not crackle like they are supposed to for a few frames.
- In one shot, one of the five Plumbers has purple eyes instead of black eyes.
- Gwen refers to Dagon as "the dragon" when talking to Winston. It is unknown how she obtained this information, as the drawings in the Flame Keepers' Circle's headquarters depict him as a squid-like creature.
- When Kevin lifts Winston off the ground, Winston's legs are cut off.
- When Sir Driscoll shoots the team, his hand/gun does not move. He fires three shots to exactly the same point, but the trio still collapse.
- Inside the Rust Bucket 3, in one shot, the signs on the floor are lighter in color than they should be.
- When Kevin pilots the Rust Bucket 3, in one shot, his hands are behind the steering wheel.
- When Kevin absorbs a metal helmet, he becomes a different color. He switches between the right and the wrong color in several shots.
- When Ben is defeated as Eatle, he lands on his back. But when he reverts to normal, Ben is on his stomach.
- When Ben says "stop" to George, Gwen's collar is the color of her skin.
- The end credits misspell Fasttrack's name as "Fastrack" and Dagon's name as "Diagon".
