Ben 10: The Visitor

« prev episode next » episode

While snowmobiling, two guys accidentally release an alien named Xylene from a strange container. At a park, Ben (as Wildmutt) steals Gwen's kite, so she casts a spell to make dogs attracted to him. Grandpa Max seems sad to be in St. Louis since it is where he met his wife. Xylene attacks, and Grandpa Max comes to defend, only to recognize her. Xylene reveals that she came to find the Omnitrix since she lost it when Vilgax attacked her ship. While Grandpa Max and Xylene talk about the past, a robot emerges from the area where Xylene was and attacks Ben and Gwen. The mechadroid attacks twice, taking Grandpa Max with him. Now Ben must work with Xylene (to his dismay) to save Grandpa Max. But Xylene has a secret weapon for Ben! Can Ben use this new weapon and defeat the mechadroid, or will he be doomed along with everyone else? Read full recap »

Think Back: It's now official that Ripjaws wasn't used for the entire third season. edit »
Look Closely: When Ben first transforms into Upchuck, he has four tongues, but when he begins eating the droid he only spits out three. edit »
Why didn't Xylene just allow Ben to transform into Upgrade (as Vilgax and Ben 10,000 can), an obvious choice in a fight against a robot, since he can take over it? edit »
Think Back: In the previous episode, the family crash-landed in Cairo, but they are now shown to be in St. Louis, with no explanation for how they got back to America. edit »
Look Closely: When the Mechadroid destroys the RV, pieces fly all over the place. However, right before they rebuild it, it looks to be intact. edit »

Ben and Gwen's Grandpa Max met their grandmother in St. Louis. edit »
Xylene is the first and only one who has ever liked Max's cooking. edit »
This is the first time Stinkfly, Grey Matter, XLR8, Upgrade, and Ripjaws aren't in a season finale. edit »
Xylene was the first female Plumber. edit »
The spell Gwen uses to make the dogs fall in love with Wildmutt/Ben is "Amorous Infecta." Amorous is an adjective from the Latin "amor," meaning love. edit »

Diamond Head: I got the watch by mistake? edit »
Upchuck: What's this guy supposed to do?
Xylene: (dramatically) You're going to eat it!
(Upchuck looks blankly at her)
Xylene: Literally eat it. That's your power. edit »
Upchuck: (after first using energy bolt) Cool! Exploding lugies! edit »
Gwen: (about Xylene) Grandpa seems to really like her. Maybe we should give her a chance.
Ben: Yeah, right! Next thing you know, she'll be wanting us to call her "Grandma Lizard"! edit »
Xylene: These Earth children are a mystery. On my planet, once you hatch, you're on your own. edit »

Xylene's Powers
Xylene's powers of levitation are very similar to Raven of the Teen Titans. Right down to the glowing aura around the very object they're moving. edit »
Max & Xylene: Men In Black 2
The love story between Max and Xylene may be based on the movie Men In Black 2, in which K (a MIB agent, which are very similar to "The Plumbers") were in love with a female alien. edit »
Xylene: Appearance
Xylene's look could be inspired from the Twi'Lek species of Star Wars lore. edit »
Upchuck: Ability
Upchuck's ability to consume items and spit them out as bursts of energy is similar to the powers of Nintendo's Kirby. edit »
Grandpa Max/Xylene: We'll always have Roswell.
This is an obvious reference to the line "We'll always have Paris." from Casablanca. edit »
