==Plot==
The episode opens up with the Tennysons at the Great Wall of China. Max looks around at the scenery. ben questions what's taking so long, as he wants to see sights really fast. Ben prepares to call up the Rustbuggy with the app Phil made. Gwen tells Ben that he can't do alien stuff all over the wall, as it is centuries old and he could damage it. Ben listens, and decides to see the whole wall by running.
Eventually, ben is tired out by the long running. He looks up to see the wall going on for even longer. Gwen and Max walks, and they notice beautiful fireworks. Gwen wonders if ben sees all of this. Ben complains about not being able to use the Rustbuggy, and then he hears an engine start up. He looks over the wall to see one of the "coolest car he's ever seen". Vin Ethanol closes the hood, and thanks Ben, complimenting him that he has good taste. Ben questions if Vin is supposed to be in jail, and did he break out. Vin tells him that all he got was community service, and the community is like family, and nothing is more important to him than family. Vin allows Ben to tough the car, and he explains the specs. Vin states that a lot of hard work and patients went into his car, and if Ben starts now he could build one like it by the time he's old enough to drive. He then shows ben how to change a tire. LaGrange pulls up after, and greets the two. Ben questions what LaGrange is doing in China. LaGrange explains that he and Vin are going to race and jump the great wall. Ben is amazed by the idea, however, he isn't going to let them do it. LaGrange challenges him to try and stop him, and he hops in his car. Ben states that he and Vin are gonna stop LaGrange. However, Vin gets in his car and drives off. Ben transforms into Slapback and attempts to stop them. With the help of Vin, they manage to shake Ben off. The two begin the race, and Ben times out. Ben calls in Glitch for assistance. The Omnitrix times back in, and Ben transforms into Heatblast. The Rustbuggy transforms as well. Heatblast and Glitch catches up to them. Heatblast states that whatever they're doing isn't worth all the damage they're causing. Vin agrees with Ben, as he just wants a clean race. Heatblast then accelerates to catch up with them. Heatblast begins firing, and LaGrange begs Vin to help, stating that they were family once. Vin pulls down his car visor, and looks at a bunch of images of him, LaGrange, Dirty Dobs, and the Malachi Sisters. He then decides to help him. Vin rams into the Rustbuggy, and Ben times out. Glitch is no damaged.
Max and Gwen continues to walk across the Great Wall. Max then hears cars. Gwen takes the binoculars and looks over the wall. She spots LaGrange's car with Vin on his tail. She then calls Ben on the phone, and tries to inform him. Ben states that he already ran into them. Gwen tells them that they were driving through a town. Ben tells her about their plan to jump the wall. Gwen states that it would end poorly, and they'd end up destroying the wall hurting lots of people. LaGrange and Vin are now heading Ben's way near the wall. Ben uses Four Arms and tries to stop their path. LaGrange uses his car to flip Vin's car over into Four Arms. Four Arms convinces Vin to help him stop LaGrange to save people from getting hurt. LaGrange looks back, and he sees Four Arms and Vin pulling up. LaGrange boosts his car, and speeds up. Vin pulls out a power source to speed up his vehicle. Four Arms struggles to hold on. As LaGrange gets closer to the wall, Ben and Vin catches up. LaGrange speeds up once again. Vin breaks it to Four Arms that his car can't take much more of this. Four Arms asks for another nitro tank. Four Arms uses it to catch up to LaGrange, and stop his car. The ramp then easily breaks without them even ramping it. LaGrange wines that he didn't get to jump the Wall, and Four Arms throws him over.
Vin drives Ben to Max and Gwen, and Ben tells them about everything. Vin compliments Ben on keeping his cool, and he admires Max for raising a good family. Vin then goes to drop LaGrange off at the police station.

**Originally, the second-to-last photo in the collage depicted LaGrange and Vin with a child. The child was replaced with Dirty Dobs in the final episode, so that the character designers would not have to create a new design that would only appear in a single short scene.
