Show Don't Tell is the eighty-eighth episode of Ben 10
Synopsis [ ] Ben , Gwen , and Grandpa Max arrive at a Native American national park to witness the Ayasha Plinths, an ancient Stonehenge -like rock formation. But when the sinister sorcerer Hex arrives, Ben must battle against a beast Hex magically made out of huge rocks![ ATV 1]
Plot [ ] Diamondhead fights Hex
Max meets up with Gwen near the Ayasha Plinths, having just paid for parking. She reveals to him that in his absence, Hex showed up and started fighting Ben as Diamondhead . Hex taunts Diamondhead about the possibility of him having lied before, as their battle moves towards the plinths. Hex baits Diamondhead into attacking the monument, destroying it with crystals reading out his own name. Max shoos Hex away as he, Gwen and the tourists check on Ben. They then all see the plinths in ruins, which Ben blames on Hex. The debris contradicts his claim, however, and as Ben prepares to fess up to his mistake, Hex casts a spell on the others. This makes them all unconvinced of Ben's truth, and entirely loyal to Hex.
Humungousaur with a mind-controlled Gwen
Hex makes the tourists and Ben's family rebuild the plinths, which he reveals to Ben to be his means of summoning the Golem of Ayasha to rule the world. Ben transforms into Humungousaur to fight him once more, but he is met with the tourists' retaliation. Humungousaur nabs Gwen and flees the scene, retreating to a cave. She refuses to believe she is under Hex's spell, but with clever wordplay she admits to carrying out Hex's evil plan and breaks free of the spell. Meanwhile, Hex performs his own ritual to complete the rock formation, thus creating the Golem of Ayasha.
The Golem of Ayasha is destroyed
Ben and Gwen arrive on the scene, and the latter tries to formulate a plan. Ben, however, just transforms into Shock Rock and charges into battle. Even though the Golem of Ayasha tries to crush the crowd, they still doubt Shock Rock's telling the truth. Gwen urges Shock Rock to fight silently, which he reluctantly agrees to. Eventually, he is able to drive an electrical stake into the Golem of Ayasha, blasting it into pieces. Hex does not give up, reminding Shock Rock of his mind-controlled army. Shock Rock times out, and Ben reluctantly admits Hex is right. This confuses the crowd, who think Hex then must be wrong.
Ben continues to lie, which manages to break Max and the others out of Hex's spell. They start to hurl rocks at Hex, but he makes an escape. Later, the group works together, with Ben using Diamondhead once more, to repair the Ayasha Plinths. Ben tells his family he's learned his lesson about lying, but Max teases him with the prospect of extra chores. Ben points out that Gwen should get more chores for throwing rocks at him, which Gwen counters by saying Max did as well. Max makes a compromise that nobody has to do the chores.

“
Hex : Petulant child! What affords you the authority to judge me?!Diamondhead : How about the authority of "I'm the good guy, you're the bad guy"? That's the truth, Ruth.
”
“
Ben : Hey, wait, Grandpa! Gwen! What are you all doing? Don't help him! He's obviously evil.Rocky : I sure love helping my objectively good friend Hex.
”
“
Hex : Don't be afraid. With the Golem of Ayasha at my command, I will bring peace and joy to the entire world! You should be proud!(the mind-controlled crowd cheers) Max : (tearing up) It's... it's like the grandson I never had.
