Recap / Ben 10 (2016) S2 E7 "Vote Zombozo"

Go To

Zombozo pulls into a small town to run for Mayor. While Gwen tries to run against him on behalf of an easily swayed crowd, Ben must stop the Circus Freaks from robbing he bank.


Tropes for this episode include:

  • Bad Boss: Deconstructed. Zombozo not paying the Circus Freaks or treating Acid Breath's condition result in the trio abandoning him.
  • Body Horror: Acid Breath is revealed to be a 15 year-old boy whose body was ravaged by a unique condition that was never looked at.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The Tennysons are stuck in Sleepytown because their spark plugs are blown. Max later thwarts Zombozo's getaway by stealing his.
  • Humble Goal: Due to not being paid ever, the Circus Freaks all have one. Acid Breath wishes to buy mouthwash, Frightwig wants to buy a curling iron and Thumbskull wants to get the nail on his heal manicured.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
    • The Circus Freaks quit on Zombozo when they realise he's not going to pay them.
    • Despite the citizens' hopes, Ben's attempts at a Rousing Speech to the crowd comes off as so incoherent and childish everyone decides to just fix their own problems.
