Recap

The episode begins with Ben taking a swim in a lake at night. He does a cannonball, and he does cheers for his own achievement. Gwen comes by, and he invites her to join him, but she declined his offer. She doesn’t want to come in contact with all strange creatures that might be in the water, citing Ben as a good example. As she heads back to the RV, Ben seems to begin drowning. She hears him, and Ben has been fully-submerged in the water before seeing him after she came to take a look at what’s happening. In his place, a giant slimy monster emerges, scaring Gwen. Afterwards, she does realize on closer inspection that it was merely Ben as Four Arms, covered with plants and slime to create the perfect monster illusion. Gwen storms off to Grandpa Max as Ben takes a good laugh at her expense. Once she is gone, a real monster appears and attacks Ben. A short fight between them results in the monster as the victor. Unable to find it, Ben heads back to the RV to warn Gwen and Grandpa Max. They don’t believe his story, of course, since he has just pulled a similar prank...
