The authorities of a local town named Grover’s Mill arrest a half-human, half-Pyronite boy named Alan Albright for arson and criminal damage. He is wearing a Plumber’s badge, which leads Ben, Kevin and Gwen to Alan, thinking Alan’s badge is Max’s. Elsewhere, Alan uses his pyrokinetic abilities to escape the officers, and the resulting damage to a building leads the team to believe that Alan may have hurt Grandpa Max. Ben soon discovers that the DNAliens are responsible for the damage, having built a huge weather machine in the corn fields.
