Just What the Doctor Ordered is the second episode of Owen 10.
Plot[]
In Bellwood at night, a house is on fire. A boy is rescued by the fire brigade but then says his dog is in there. Then, to everyone’s surprise, something freezes the flames. Big Chill flies overhead before turning intangible to get inside. Then he comes out with the dog in his hands and puts him on the ground. Big Chill is about to time out so he flies away.
The next day, Owen and Jade are watching the rescue on the news. Owen says he’s becoming a popular hero, and his aliens are all over the internet. Jade tells him they still don’t know what the omnitrix is, and they need to ask someone with a head for science. Owen points out they could ask their science teacher, Doctor Animo.
They go to the school, where Animo is surprised to see them. Jade tells him they have something to show him, as long as he keeps it a secret. Then Owen shows what the omnitrix does by turning into Swampfire. This intrigues Animo, and he asks if he can keep the omnitrix for analysis. Swampfire says he can’t take it off, to Animo’s annoyance. When they leave, Animo looks at a picture of himself coming second place at a science competition years ago. He vows revenge on Doctor Kelly, the man who came first, and then realises the omnitrix’s ability to change a creature’s form could help him.
A week later, Owen and Jade are walking to school, Owen bored. Then, a giant mutant toad is seen rampaging through the street. Owen realises he has to stop it and turns into a smaller humanoid alien. He attacks the toad, but isn’t very strong, before discovering he can duplicate. He calls himself Ditto and his clones jump on the toad. He duplicates enough times until the toad can’t take the weight and collapses. Owen and Jade head to school.
Animo is in his lab, looking through a camera that was on the toad. He is annoyed that Ben foiled his creation’s test run. Then he realises he needs an army of creatures and decodes to head to the local zoo.
On the way home, Owen and Jade see a TV through a window, and on the news Animo is shown riding the toad at the zoo, mutating an elephant and a meerkat. Owen and Jade get a taxi there. When they arrive Owen turns into a large dinosaur alien he decides to call Humungousaur and charges in. He tackles the elephant, but the meerkat jumps at him. He fights it and stamps it into the ground. The elephant knocks him away from Animo. Humungousaur realises Animo’s helmet is the problem and attempts to take it, but the elephant and meerkat get in his way. He then picks up and throws the elephant and punches the meerkat aside. He takes Animo off the toad and kicks it away, then takes off his helmet and crushes it, causing the mutants to return to normal. The police come and arrest Animo. A group of news reporters surround Humungousaur and Jade points out how Owen is starting to become the town's hero.
