Reflected Glory

Reflected Glory is the second episode of the second season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the twelfth episode overall.
==Synopsis==
JT and Cash get in over their heads when they take credit for Ben's heroic acts.
==Plot==
The Forever Knights are trying to retrieve what looks like an alien artifact, and Ben, Gwen and Kevin come to stop the attempt. Ben transforms into Armodrillo and fights the Knights. After defeating them, Armodrillo transforms back into normal. The team sees a light, which is revealed to be Cash and JT.
The boys say they became Plumbers and show their fake badges. Oliver Thompson is now working for the boys after Will Harangue fired him when the robot he built for him failed to defeat Ben. Cash touches the spacecraft containing the artifact, which becomes a robot. The team battles the robot and Ben transforms into Terraspin. The boys begin acting like the leaders, telling the team how to fight. The Forever Knights escape with the robot's battery, and they leave. JT and Cash explain that they are trying to take credit for Ben's plans by having Oliver help them get rich and famous, so they decide to try becoming "somebodies". So, Ben's team decides to let them go with their plan, with the exception of Kevin, but agrees to go with the plan by getting some of their money. However, when they explain they are the brains behind Ben, Psyphon hears what they say and gets angry.
They begin to track down the Forever Knights with Gwen's powers, so they go to the beach close to where Vilgax's ship exploded, and later, where Ben fought Zombozo Charmcaster and Vulkanus. Cash and JT also claim thet they managed to get Ben back from the Null Void from Sunder's power axe. The team, along with Cash, JT and Oliver, infiltrates one of the Forever Knights' homes and he explains their plan of stealing a Power Decoupler. The Forever Knights discuss their plan for the weapon and Ben transforms into Four Arms and the team comes in to fight with Cash, JT, and Oliver filming the scene. Kevin gets angry with them for interfering and calls off their arrangement as Psyphon comes in to destroy Cash and JT, believing them to be the masterminds behind Ben Tennyson defeating Vilgax.
Psyphon shows up with his Robotic Extermination Devices, known as R.E.D.s, and blames Cash and JT for his master Vilgax's defeat, wanting to destroy them. Ben transforms Spidermonkey to fight Psyphon and his R.E.D.s. While Psyphon chases Cash and JT and Gwen and Kevin fight the R.E.D.s, Ben fights Psyphon, but he proves to be too strong for Spidermonkey. Cornering Cash and JT, Psyphon deems them not worth destroying after they cowardly admit their scam to him. Psyphon turns his vengeance on Ben as he transforms into Ultimate Spidermonkey, whom he also overpowers. Gwen and Kevin destroy the R.E.D.s and Cash and JT use the energy decoupler to defeat Psyphon and save Ben. However, when they used the Power Decoupler, the power from Oliver's camera ran out and the act of the boys saving Ultimate Spidermonkey from Psyphon did not show. Oliver tells the boys that since they confessed on camera, with their act not shown, no one will watch their blog ever again. The boys are now left in disgrace as total losers as Ben and his friends, they and Oliver not believing they subdued Psyphon, quit having them take credit for their actions.
