Ben and Gwen's social media battle with Kevin 11 quickly escalates into an all-out war in real life.
Plot[]
At a campsite, Gwen records a video on her phone of Ben cooking. He says he's going to make caramel crunch toast, and Gwen ends the video, stating that isn't what he agreed to make. She claims that it would be better to make healthy foods, and spread awareness. Max jumps in, and asks what's with all of the bickering, and questions why all the food is out. Gwen tells him about how they're trying to make a video, and post it online to spread awareness of healthy eating. Ben states it won't spread awareness if no one watches it. They both start arguing and Max leaves. Ben then comes up with an idea to get good views, and spread awareness.
Four Arms juggling food
Ben transforms into Four Arms and shows himself cooking. He starts off talking healthy, and Gwen agrees with most of the things he's saying. However, Four Arms starts talking unhealthy, ruining the video. Max questions why they are wasting food. Ben states that they aren't wasting food, and eats all of the ingredients. Max gets angry that he has to go back to the grocery store and buy more food.
As the Tennysons drive there, Ben regrets eating all of that food. Gwen gets a notification on her phone. It turns out, they're trending. They read the comments, and are happy of the positive feedback. Ben imagines himself going on a talk show and receiving awards for his video. Gwen then notices that someone just posted a video, and their video is not getting past it. Ben looks at it, and it's a user under the name of Xx_N3V3R_5ORRY_XX. They view the account, and notices a video by Kevin, as Thornblade. He states that he's going to show the audience how to make some real food, unlike some "hacks". Gwen points out that Kevin is copying their video but with junkier food. Kevin starts spreading false information about food, which leads Ben to suggest that they make a revenge video.
Ben and Gwen creates a new video, this time editing Kevin's video to make it sound like he's saying the words "I'm so dumb". Kevin, in an arcade, sees the video, and other kids around him begins singing it. He then is pasted by Gwen and Ben in views. Ben and Gwen gets another notification, a message from Kevin. Kevin demands them to meet face-to-face so they settle this once and for all. Ben and Gwen leave the Rustbucket looking for Kevin. Kevin reveals himself, and they stand off.
Gwen lays down ground rules. The competition will consist of three rounds. For each round, they will have fifteen minutes to make their creation, and Gwen will livestream their progress. The streaming app will allow users to vote on who they think is best. Each round starts with them collecting ingredients, while Gwen invites judges over. After the competition begins and the two begin cooking, Gwen thanks the judges for joining them.
Kevin's sabotaged dish
Ben brings his dish up to the judges. The judges are impressed by the food, and the viewers love the originality. Kevin presents his food using Crystalfist. One of the judges points out that it's a can of soup with a stick of celery, however he is forced to try it. The first round goes to Kevin. The second round begins, and Ben starts creating his cake. Ben uses Heatblast to create a fire-breathing dragon dish, dubbed "Fiery Revenge". The judges gives Ben three thumbs up. Kevin, as Hot Shot, presents his cake, however, Ben sabotages it using his powers. Ben wins the second round. Ben raises the stakes, saying the loser of the next round must never make another video again. Gwen then announces the final round, where they have fifteen minutes to gather food from the grocery store and bake something.
Ben goes inside the store to find ingredients once the round starts. Right before he grabs something, Rush runs past and takes it. Rush runs outside and creates a giant statue of himself out of food. Shock Rock runs out, and tries to make something. Gwen tells him that there's five minutes left. Rush steals Shock Rock's ingredients as he cooks and adds it to his statue, destabilizing it. Shock Rock gets angry and throws his table at Rush. He misses and it hits the statue, knocking it over. Rush punches Shock Rock, sending him flying. Gwen tells the two to stop, since no one is watching anymore, instead watching the bunny-ear kid. They both revert back to human. Ben questions who would watch bunny-ear kid.
Max arrives on the scene, stating that he would like to watch Ben and Kevin clean up the mess they've made. Gwen states that five viewers says Kevin can clean up faster than Ben. The two boys begins to challenge each other again. Max stops them, and tells them that life isn't always about getting likes, and they shouldn't do things just for approval. Ben and Kevin thinks that doesn't make any sense, however Max lets them run off. Max asks Gwen what ever happened to "art". She replies stating art doesn't get views. Max gives her a frustrating look, but Gwen points out that Ben and Kevin are cleaning.
Four Arms: Eating a balanced meal isn't just good for you, it's also fun. So let's get started with a healthy veggie wrap. Gwen: This is great! Keep going. Four Arms: Toss up a tortilla, add cheese, tomato, mustard, onions, bean sprouts, lettuce, and you can drop the whole thing in butter and deep-fry that bad boy. Gwen: Yeah, that one is a no.

Ben: Who is, XX_N3V3R_5ORRY_XX? (clicks video). Thornblade: How y'all doin'? Ben: Oh, no. Thornblade: Today we're gonna show you guys how to make some real food. Unlike some hacks who wouldn't know a spatula from a spoon.

Hot Shot: That wasn't supposed to happen. You did something, didn't you? Heatblast: (mocking). What do you say we take this up a notch? The loser of the next round not only has to claim defeat but never, ever post another video. Hot Shot: You're on.

Max: Come on, boys. Life isn't always about getting likes. You shouldn't do things just for approval. Ben: So we should get your approval by not trying to get approval from other people, Grampa? Kevin: That doesn't make a lot of sense, Mr. Tennyson.
The competition held between Ben and Kevin (in which they must cook ingredients they get from a supermarket into a meal to be rated by three judges) is similar to the main competition in the Food Network program Guy's Grocery Games.
