** Gwen asks Ben if he really meant what he said to Ultimos, and Ben says that he didn't and just didn't want to hang out with bunch of 'weirdos' and rather hang out with them instead. He was probably joking and only said it to annoy Gwen, but Ben clearly does appreciate his family's help.

[[AC: Episode 8: Ultimate Weapon]]
* This episode is one of the rare episodes where Ben and Gwen don't fight, though it's mostly because the poor kids are frightened of their grandfather's change in attitude. Despite that, they are seen comforting and supporting each other when Max wouldn't and stand up for each other.
* Max pushes Ben to sneak in and somewhat coldly asks Ben if he can trust him, to where Ben tells him in the most genuine tone that of course he can trust him.
** Later, Gwen calls Grandpa Max out for talking to Ben that way. While he ends up brushing Gwen's concerns off, it's sweet of her to point out that Grandpa Max was being unfair to Ben.
* After Ben and Gwen are saved by Grandpa Max after barely surviving a trap, Gwen tries to thank him, but he ends up leaving them behind, telling them to catch up. The two trail after their grandfather, sympathizing and talking out their concerns about the change in their beloved grandpa's behavior. It's rare to see the two be so genuine with their feelings and it's honestly really sweet.
* Even though Max spent the whole episode out of character, the moment he sees Ben and Gwen held hostage by the Forever Knights, he ultimately gives up the artifact he tried so hard to protect in exchange for his grandkids. He still does love them.
* After surviving the Pit of Despair, Grandpa Max wants to hurry on to catch up to Enoch, but Gwen is still woozy after the fall and needed time to get her bearings back. Ben ends up getting fed up with his grandpa on both his and Gwen's behalf, calling him out for forgetting what was really important: family.
** This is particularly poignant to Ben. It's been established that despite his bratty attitude, above all else, Ben will give up ''everything'' to keep his family safe, probably something that was instilled in him ''by'' Grandpa Max. In a way, Ben is reminding his grandfather about what was important.
* Two times in the final fight, Max goes back to save his grandkids instead of trying to get the sword, probably taking what Ben said to him to heart.
* As the temple is collapsing, Grandpa Max calls out to Enoch to get out of the temple before it was too late. He ''was'' the bad guy and almost killed them, but he still had the heart to care about his enemy.
* At the end of the episode, Max apologizes to both grandkids about the way he was acting and they happily reconcile.

* Much of the episode "Pier Pressure". Ben expects Julie to hate and fear him after their disastrous date and finding out about the Omnitrix. Instead, she's totally accepting and quickly takes to dealings with aliens. It's hard not to say "awwww" at Ben's relief and their subsequent [[FireForgedFriends danger-bonding.]]

* At the end of the episode, Grandpa Max tells Ben that he would have made a great plumber.
