(Ironically, I listened to The Demon In Me yesterday afternoon.) ^^
Ben's quip on how things couldn't get any worse aside, the way things really went down in this episode was as you stated, particularly brutal. And it started with the (almost)only hilarious moment in the teaser: "He's been having nightmares." "Gwen!" Apparently offscreen, Ben confided in his cousin about his situation the previous 4 nights and Gwen kept it to herself only until when she felt that Kevin needed to know. Aggregor is definitely an enemy that Ben and co. will need to watch for when he returns and figure out ways to counter his abilities with the staff; unfortunately, Brainstorm might not be a factor in those plans as we've already seen.
I was really impressed by how much Kevin has changed-he was confident that they could reboot the Ultimatrix and not cause another explosion. (Though pressing the blue buttons? Definitely something to joke with him on later.) Not to mention how well he and Ben have really grown since Ben 10. Their friendship, along with Gwen and Kevin's relationship, does rival the relationship Ben and Gwen have to a point; Gwen isn't as blunt with Ben as Kevin was when he told him to get out of his car. Though, for all intents and purposes he did say he had to get Gwen home before her parents called the National Guard freaked.
My birthday Next week's episode definitely seems like one that is the flip side of the coin, as based on the preview alone. Plus, with Rath in it you know hilarity is a major factor.
