Beauty Marked

Episode Number: 32    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Friday February 24, 2006    Prod Code: 034
Sam can barely contain her contempt for the “Miss Teenage Happy Princess” beauty pageant and its organizer, Dora Mattingly, when they descend on Casper High. She decides to enter the contest to make a statement about individuality, but makes a discovery instead: Dora Mattingly is the Dragon Ghost! Before she can get to the bottom of the mystery, she’s inadvertently crowned Miss Teenage Happy Princess by its happy-go-lucky judge... Danny Fenton! When the tiara is placed on Sam’s head, it magically transports her to a castle in the Ghost Zone, where she learns she’s to be the bride of Dora’s brother, the ghostly Prince Aragon. As Danny and Tucker head into the Ghost Zone to rescue Sam, she does her best to shake things up in the medieval ghost world she’s stuck in.

Notes

add »
According to Dora (while she's battling Aragon in her dragon form), she has been doing Aragon's bidding and suffering his insults for 1600 years. (edit)
This is the first time we see that Sam's ears are pierced because she was wearing skull earrings. (edit)
At one point in this episode, when Danny splits apart, his whole body splits vertically. (edit)
Apparently, Tucker is skilled in archery. (edit)
At Prince Aragon's castle, right before Sam, Tucker and Danny leave, Sam looks at her watch and it is the same watch she had in the episode Identity Crisis. (edit)

Quotes

add »
(While Sam's spitting watermellon seeds everywhere at the wedding banquet)
Prince Aragon: (Shielding himself) Dorathea! What is the meaning of this?
Dora: (Nervous) Uh, pre-wedding jitters?
(Sam belches in Aragon's face) (edit)
(While Dora watches Danny is being picked up by two girls through her ring)
Dora:(To Prince Aragon in the ring) You see? The boy is distracted. The ring masks me from his ghost sense. He suspects nothing!
Prince Aragon: Which is more than I can say for the girl. Perhaps next time, you should walk up to her and scream: "I'm a ghost!"
(The ring shows Dora loosing control of her dragon form while Sam is unknowingly watching.)
Dora: (Frightened) Please...please forgive me, brother. I didn't think-
Prince Aragon: (Angrily) You're not supposed to think! You're supposed to keep her away from the ghost boy until showtime. So, do it!
(edit)
(While shooting at the Ghost Archer)
Danny: Dude, you're seriously cutting into my very limited: 'girls are flirting with me' time! (edit)
(Sam is shown with Dora and the other girls in the football field)
Dora: Well, here's a statement. It says: "I'll never win in this outfit!"
(Sam frowns)
Dora: Still, Miss Manson has a point. You girls are unique individuals with strong opinions and indipendant minds.
Sam: You're darn right we are!
Dora: It's my job to make you forget that and mold you into happy little princesses.
(All girls cheer, except Sam.)
(edit)
Tucker: (Uses his bow to fire two PDAs into the nostrils of the dragon ghost, keeping him from breathing fire) Looks like I can get past ALL kinds of firewalls! (Aragon flies out into the air and fires his dragonbreath) Except that one... (edit)

Trivia

add »
Considering Sam's hair is only chin length, she somehow puts it in pig tails it is pretty long. (edit)
Two ghosts phase through the wall and drop the dress over Sam. They should not have been able to phase through the wall, since things like that in the Ghost Zone are solid to ghosts. (edit)
Sam's watch should not have been able to tell Ghost Zone Time. (edit)
In the scene where Dora talks about Sam "Making a statement", her ring is gone. In the next scene, it's back. (edit)
Danny, Sam, and Tucker flew out of the Ghost Zone without taking the Specter Speeder with them. And since electronics worked again they should be able to fly in it. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Prince Aragon Name:
The name Aragon is an allusion to the book "Eragon" about a boy who learns that he is a dragon rider. (edit)
Episode Title: Beauty Marked
"Beauty Marked" is a reference to the name given to a facial mole known as a "beauty mark". (edit)
Dinner Scene: Atmosphere
This is a reference to the movie Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. The scene that the episode has made a spoof off of was the wedding feast scene after Victoria had just married the villain, Lord Barkis Bittern. During the dinner scene, every person at the table wasn't eating their food, wasn't talking, and wasn't even really festive. After a few moments, Lord Barkis acted as though the room was loud and the people were chattering freely, just like Prince Aragon shouted "Enough merrymaking!" Probably the main point in both scenes was an example of irony. (edit)
Mr. Lancer: Song
The song that Mr. Lancer sings about the attributes of a princess, dressed as a minstrel from the Middle Ages, is to the tune of Greensleeves. The song is an old English folk song, and according to legend it was Henry VIII who composed it. (edit)
Dora Mattingly: Name
"Dora Mattingly" is an obvious allusion to "doormat", which she is for most of this episode. (edit)
