* MonsterIsAMommy: Like Ghostfreak's Ecturnite DNA, Big Chill's Necrofriggian DNA takes over Ben's mind and has him act by its will, even affecting him in human form. This time, though, it's for a much more benign purpose; Big Chill is pregnant and has to lay its eggs, overriding all other thought while Ben is in this form. Once the eggs hatch and the babies leave, Ben goes back to normal.

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Played for Drama. Ben's transformations into Big Chill in this episode cause him to lose all memory of what he did the night before, which causees him and his friends to start investigating into what's going on between him and Big Chill.

Added DiffLines:

* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Played with. When Ben transforms into Big Chill, he ends up losing all memory of what his alien form did the night before, while Big Chill himself mindlessly devours all the metal he can see, and attacks anyone who comes too close to his nest. That said, this is the only instance of Big Chill actually doing this, and he isn't nearly as possessive as Ghostfreak, with his instincts disappearing at the end of the episode and onwards.

* BaitAndSwitch: The entire plot has Ben acting not himself with Big Chill acting agressive and taking over him at times, with Gwen giving references that it might be Ghostfreak all over again. Then it's revealed that Big Chill wasn't turning evil, rather it was just time for him to prepare a nest for their babies.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ben eating pickles becomes this when one realizes it's pregnancy craving, courtesy of Big Chill. He also gives good dating advice to Kevin not unlike a parent getting their kid ready for prom.

While transformed as Big Chill, Ben gets progressively more aggressive and doesn't remember anything from the experience. He asks Julie to follow him around and document what he's doing. Also Kevin has to take Gwen to her school's dance.

* BittersweetEnding: This episode seems to be a [[BreatherEpisode Breather-]][[{{Filler}} Filler Episode]] with a cute ending -- though Kevin notes that Ben's unlikely to ever see his Necrofriggian children again. Which ties into the show's themes of growing up, letting go, and learning to stand on your own.
