Jake has a parent teacher conference with Professor Rotwood, and he learns that all dragons have natural shape-shifting powers. Fu Dog gives him a potion that lets him tap into that ability in order for Jake to impersonate a goblin named Ralph who is working with the Huntsman in order to find out the Huntsman plans. However Jake abuses his powers to fool people and when he overuses his powers, he loses control of them when he impersonates Ralph and is captured by the Huntsclan. How is he going to escape now?

Random Girl: I LOVE YOU JAREN!!

Hunstmaster: What?
Fu Dog: (in the dark) Ok, which one of you cheapos forgot to pay the electric bill?
(The lights switch on)
Fu Dog: Oops, my bad. Must've brushed against the light switch. I hate it when that happens. Ha Ha!
(The Hunstclan members surround Fu Dog and Ralph, ready to kill them, and Fu Dog shakes his head as the window above him breaks, revealing gramps in dragon form)
Grandpa:ha-yah!
(He knocks out the huntsclan members in one shot) (edit) Jake: (as his Mum) Mr Rotwood.
Mr Rotwood: eh eh eh It's Professor Rotwood.
Jake: (as his Mum) I don't care if it's wacko Rotwood! You no good player hater. Your just jealous of my son cause he's got super-fly mackdaddy moves and you don't. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave my son alone and move to a far away country like......Jer.....paka....mania.
Good day Mr Rotwood
Mr Rotwood: (Nervously) Actually It's Pro......Profess.....
Jake>: (as his Mum) I said good day!! (edit) Jake:(transforms into the Huntsmaster)Now, brothers and sisters, bust a move and bring on the Huntsclan (edit) Jake: I'm pretty busted, huh?

If you listen closely, near the end of the episode you can hear the Huntsman say to Rose 'Patience Thorn'. 'Thorn' was what Rose's Huntsclan identity, was originally going to be called instead of Huntsgirl. This was from them forgetting to dub that part over with Huntsgirl.
(edit)
After Jake was captured by the Huntsclan as Jaren McCarthur, while Jake was transforming back, don't you think that Rose would have noticed him by his pants and his shirt (since Rose saw him often)?
Reply: Clothes are not a good method of identification. Jake could probably have a popular clothing style. (edit) Due to Disney airing the episode out of order, Trixie and Spud don't know about Jake's abilities in this episode. (edit) If Jake really wants to know who the Huntsgirl is why didn't he just transform into her and take off her mask.
Jake's ability seem to work by having to see someone, then he is able to copy them. He might be able to copy huntsgirl, but taking off the mask would reult in either a face blank other than what he can see though the mask, or so generic as to be useless for identification. Besides, Jake would probably never think to do that. (edit) When Jake lashes out with his chains towards Huntsgirl, he breaks two legs of the table the Orb is on, but the table still stands like nothing happened. (edit)

Title: Aaron Carter and/or Jesse McCartney
Jaren MacArthur's name and personality seems to be the combination of two real life male blond singing sensations, Jesse McCartney and Aaron Carter. (edit)
