Eye for an Eye

Episode Number: 38    Season Num: 3    First Aired: Monday August 20, 2007    Prod Code: 041
Danny and Vlad’s game of revenge against each other begins with childish pranks, and, unfortunately for Danny, ends when Vlad decides to run for mayor of Amity Park! By overshadowing voters, Vlad wins in a landslide. The new mayor is eager to use his new power to make life as miserable as possible for Danny and his friends. He shuts down the Nasty Burger, outlaws technology, creates new school uniforms, and passes so many new laws in the name of “protecting the children” that Danny finds it impossible to go ghost.

Notes

add »
This is the second time Vlad tells Danny that he's more powerful then him. The first time was Bitter Reunions. (edit)
When Vlad says his powers are growing, he could either have been referring to him being able to create enough copies to overshadow the voters or becoming mayor of Amity Park. (edit)
Running Gag(s): 1) Jack getting excited about Vlad being mayor 2) Vlad making laws that ruin kids' lives 3) Tucker grabbing Mr. Lancer by the leg to stop him from taking his technology. (edit)
For the first time, we find out that a halfa can duplicate and then change into human form while his duplicate is still around. (edit)
Jazz, Lancer, Kwan, Star and Paulina appear in this episode, but have no dialogue. (edit)
