* DidntThinkThisThrough: Ben comes up with a plan to defeat Ghostfreak by letting him possess him and trapping him in the Omnitrix when he transforms into him. All this accomplishes is allowing Ghostfreak to control his body. Gwen and Kevin both call him out on how it was a really shitty idea.

* TemptingFate: When Ben turns into Ghostfreak, Gwen is not impressed by the realization this was his plan. Ben reassures her he can control him, but is instantly proven wrong when Ghostfreak takes control, as symbolized by the Omnitrix symbol disappearing into his body and his green eye turning into Ghostfreak's natural eye color.

* WhatTheHellHero: After Ben is able to regain control of his body and change back, Gwen and Kevin call him out on his foolish plan and almost getting them killed. Ben does himself no favors by acting so casual about the whole thing.
