Escape From Aggregor

Escape From Aggregor is the fifth episode of the first season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the fifth episode overall.
==Synopsis==
Five aliens from another galaxy attempt to escape from their mysterious captor.
==Plot==
Four Arms is fighting a Yeti that is being mind-controlled by Dr. Animo while Gwen and Kevin disable the device that Animo built that will turn people into Yeti. Four Arms transforms into Brainstorm and use his electrical brain power to affect the mind control headband, causing the Yeti to turn against Animo. After Animo is contained, Kevin is able to disable the device.
Back in Bellwood, a turtle-like alien rampages through the city, and Ben, Gwen, and Kevin fight it. Realizing the creature doesn't speak English, they use their Plumber badges as a Universal Translator. He reveals his name to be Galapagus and states that he was searching for Ben for help. He recounts his backstory, explaining that he is from the peaceful planet Aldabra where he and his friends lived idyllic, non-violent lives until Aggregor suddenly arrived. After absorbing the powers of his friend, Aggregor proceeded to capture Galapagus. While imprisoned, Galapagus met four other aliens that were also captured by Aggregor: Bivalvan, P'andor, Andreas and Ra'ad. Although they are standoffish, not taking kindly to Galapagus at first, the aliens eventually decide to work together to free themselves from Aggregor.
After regaining their powers, the five begin to plot their escape. P'andor and Andreas decide to attempt to take over the ship, but Bivalvan, Ra'ad, and Galapagus decide to call for help instead. Magister Prior Gilhil responds to their distress call just as the aliens are taken back to their prison, but Gilhil is killed on the spot by Aggregor before he can act further.
When the aliens escape again, Aggregor reveals that Galapagus has neutralized their powers and gives them to Aggregor in exchange for freedom. However, Galapagus double-crosses Aggregor before leading the aliens to an escape pod. They crash-land on Earth in Florida and decide to separate to look for help while Bivalvan repairs the ship. In the present day, Ben contacts the Plumbers, but not before the Ultimatrix scans Galapagus' DNA, adding a new transformation. They then give Galapagus a ride home, but the Plumber riding the ship is revealed to be Aggregor in disguise, who recaptures Galapagus to absorb his powers.

==Allusions==
*Gwen asks the Plumbers for a pick-up in Sector 7G, early into the episode. Sector 7G is an allusion to the long-running series, The Simpsons, in which Homer Simpson's workspace at the Nuclear Power Plant is Sector 7G.
*Kevin quotes The Three Little Pigs when he says "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!".
*Kevin makes a reference to one of Bugs Bunny's quotes after he knocks Galapagus into a car and makes him "growl" by saying "them's fightin' words".

*After Galapagus sends a distress call and turns around to see Aggregor subduing Bivalvan and Ra'ad, there is an Ultimatrix symbol on Galapagus' chest.
*Magister Prior Gilhil is missing the cable on his Plumber Suit in most shots.
*When the aliens look at Aggregor as Gilhil gets murdered, Galapagus' eyes are all black. Also, he and P'andor seem to overlap each other.
*When Aggregor attacks Andreas, Ra'ad, Bivalvan and P'andor and they jump in a hole, P'andor's feet are miscolored.
*When Aggregor turns around, Ra'ad disappears.
*Galapagus should not be able to use his aerokinesis to transfer the power-neutralizing device to Aggregor, as he is holding the device.

*In Fame, Ben was not able to turn into any alien before the Ultimatrix had scanned Bivalvan, but in this episode, he is able to transform without any issues.
*When the Ultimatrix scans Galapagus, the rim does not have a hole for the light to come out of until a few shots later.
*When all of the aliens' holograms are shown:
**Some of Ben's unlocked aliens, namely Goop, Cannonbolt, Way Big, Heatblast, Wildmutt, Nanomech, Water Hazard and Four Arms are missing.

==Trivia==
*The episode's title is listed as Escape from Aggregor on the Cartoon Network website.
*Galapagus references Addwaitya by saying "Thank Addwaitya it worked" early on in the episode just after Kevin begins to use his Plumber badge as a Universal Translator. Addwaitya would later make his debut in Where the Magic Happens.
*Although Galapagus is immune to mana attacks, Gwen was able to knock him down because he was frightened and not a particularly adept fighter.
*In Australia, Magister Prior Gilhil's death scene was edited. When he screams as he is being electrocuted, it cuts to Bivalvan and P'andor before showing Aggregor holding the Shock Staff.
*The episode's working title was Who Hunts the Hunted.
*In a script outline dated June 10, 2009 and the ADR script dated May 3, 2010, the Shock Staff is depicted as a two-pronged spear with glowy Kirby glyphs.
*In the script outline:
**Ben uses Humungousaur to fight the Yeti, instead of Four Arms.
**Ben uses Ultimate Humungousaur to free the Yeti from its mind control instead of Brainstorm.
**Ben uses Ultimate Echo Echo to fight Galapagus after Ultimate Big Chill.
**Ra'ad, P'andor, Andreas, and Bivalvan are referred to by their working names, Sting, Half-Life, Tremmor and Kraw.
**Osmos V is referred to by its working name, Osmosia.
*In the ADR:
**Gwen and Kevin dismantle the Devolution Bomb on the ground instead of in mid-air.
**When Gwen calls the Plumbers to arrest Dr. Animo, a Plumber ship immediately arrives.
