Ben and Rook are called to London to investigate the Forever Knights' latest activities.


Tropes in this episode

  • Adaptational Villainy: Dr. Jekyll in the original story was a troubled, conflicted man trying to come to terms with his evil impulses. This episode however, reveals him to be a Mad Scientist for the Forever Knights, who created the Hyde serum for no noble purpose whatsoever.
  • The Bus Came Back: Kai Green and her grandfather Wes return for the first time since "Benwolf".
  • Blatant Lies: Ben claims that his Loboan form isn’t called “Benwolf” anymore and the he renamed him in the years since.
  • Continuity Nod: The events of "Benwolf", namely Ben’s crush on Kai, are brought up. And it’s implied Ben may still have feelings for her.
    Ben: Seriously, Rook. You don't have to come with me. Whatever this thing in London is, I can handle it by myself.
    Rook: Are you just saying that because you still have a childhood crush on Kai Green?
    Ben: (Spits out his smoothie)
    Rook: …Even though she only found you interesting when she thought you were a werewolf? (grinning smugly) Gwen and I talk.
  • Line-of-Sight Name: Ben makes up a new named for Benwolf after seeing Wolf Blitzer on TV, leading him to claim the alien is now called Blitzwolfer.
  • Obligatory Joke: The Forever Knights refer to the iconic London landmark by its actual name of “the Elizabeth Tower” so Ben can get confused.
    Chadwick: How could YOU have never heard of Big Ben?
  • One-Winged Angel: Chadwick after taking the Hyde formula.
  • Shout-Out: One of the statues in Highgate Cemetery is drawn to resemble a Weeping Angel.
  • Shown Their Work: While some artistic license is taken with the mentioned myths, the facts Rook recites about London are all accurate to real life.
