Doctor's Disorders

Episode Number: 22    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Friday July 15, 2005    Prod Code: 022
After being bitten by tiny green ghost mosquitoes, the kids of Casper High get a mysterious illness that gives them ghost powers and are quarantined at a spooky old hospital outside of town. When Danny sneaks into the hospital to investigate, he is captured by Penelope Spectra and her assistant, Bertrand. They are the ones who started this illness as part of their plan to build Penelope a young and beautiful new body. All she needs is Danny's half-human/half-ghost DNA to complete her ghostly plan. With Danny captured and Sam sick, it's up to Tucker to conquer his fear of hospitals and free Danny before Penelope gets what she's after.

Notes

add »
Kwan turning into eight ghosts beats the record of four ghosts that Vlad set in "Bitter Reunions." (edit)
Interestingly, Jazz has the only power Danny hasn't performed in any episodes since "Parental Bonding." (edit)
Cable Episode Info:
The students of Casper High are bitten by green ghost beetles. (edit)
In addition to being able to morph his self, Bertrand can morph weapons. (edit)
Dish Network and Direct TV guides refer to the episode title as "Doctor's Orders." (edit)

Quotes

add »
Tucker walks up to the ghost guards and sprays his cologne, causing them to start coughing)
Tucker: Oh, please. You're ghosts. Do you have any idea what you smell like? (edit)
Danny: Tucker's right; hospitals stink. (edit)
(Danny's best friend comes to school with a new cologne on)
Danny: Why do you smell like a sweaty cookie?
(edit)
Tucker: Don't worry, Danny! The calvary is coming... whether he wants to or not! (edit)
Tucker: (Before he sprays his cologne through the air vent to get the ghost bugs out of everybody) Whoever said, "Odor isn't everything," never met Tucker Foley. (edit)

Trivia

add »
After Tucker blasts the two guards at the entrance of the hospital and stands up again, the lipstick is missing. (edit)
When Sam is floating on the ceiling her violet stockings are blue. (edit)
The two guards don't have a ghostly glow until Danny turns invisible. (edit)
When the senior was talking to Tucker, he said "..we didn't have windows." That's almost impossible because when Native American homes had holes in the walls that could be considered windows. He couldn't be that old. (edit)
In the beginning, when Tucker is spraying himself with his all-over body spray without his backpack on, the camera gets a close-up shot of him and he is wearing his backpack. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Episode Title: Doctor's Disorders
The title comes from the common saying, "Doctor's orders." (edit)
Dash: (Sighs) When she sings "The Wind Beneath My Wings,” I just go to pieces.
"Wind Beneath My Wings" is a song by Bette Midler. (edit)
Various Kids: Ghost Power Origin
The way how the ectoplasmic beetles gave the kids superhuman abilities after phasing into them (or "biting" them) is most likely taken from how Spider-Man obtained his superpowers from an irradiated spider. Like the children, he felt sick very shortly while after being bitten. (edit)
Tucker: It's a lipstick, and an ecto-blaster. Because I'm worth it.
This is a quick and funny reference to the L'Oréal cosmetic company slogan. (edit)
Danny: What's up, doc?
This is, of course, a reference to Bugs Bunny's famous catch phrase (from Looney Tunes). (edit)
