Nicktoons Network premiere date: Friday, June 27, 2008. (edit) Title Picture: Valerie's ghost-hunting head and upper chest on the top left to bottom left with Danny in ghost mode that looks like he's trying to escape with the "Technus Satellite" in the background. (edit) We learn by the end of this episode that there is at least one girl that Danny has no apparent interest in who has a crush on him. (edit) Jack's class ring looked like the ring Johnny 13 tried to give Jazz in "13." (edit) First aired in Canada on YTV on May 8, 2006. (edit)

Sam: (Gives Danny the ring) Here you go.
Tucker: You sure about this?
Danny: Well, she said she'd give up ghost hunting. For me. Besides, I like her and she likes me back. Isn't it supposed to be that simple?
Sam & Tucker: Clueless.
(Valerie appears)
Valerie: Danny.
Danny: Wow. I'm glad you're here. I wanted to ask you something.
Valerie: Actually, me first. (Sam & Tucker leave them alone) Danny, I've had a lot of fun these last few days. But my life's way too complicated right now or us to be anything other than...friends.
Danny: Just friends? But I thought...
Valerie: I thought too. But there's something important I have to do and I don't want you to get hurt because of it. Besides, it's not like you were gonna give me some lame class ring, right (Kisses Danny on the cheek)
Danny: (Chuckles) Yeah. Right. (edit) Danny: (After Sam tells him Technus is trying to hook him and Valerie up) Sam was probably being paranoid...(Turns around and sees Technus in Valerie's suit)...but that doesn't mean she's not right. Valerie's... not in there, is she?
Technus: No. She's not. (Points to Valerie) She's over there. In full view.
(Valerie waves; Danny waves back nervously)
Technus: You should run now. (edit) Danny: You're telling me that Technus is trying to hook me up? Come on! Technus hates emotions!
Sam: And hello? He's using yours against you.
Tucker: Dim lights, stalled ferris wheels... you think the universe wants you two to be together?
Danny: Well, maybe, but, I don't know... I might. (edit) Damon: (After realizing Valerie wasn't the one in her suit) I'm sorry I didn't believe you. (Referring to Danny) You did do a good job protecting your friend. I guess I can let it go this time.
Valerie: You're only saying that 'cause the suit's destroyed.
Damon: Bingo. (edit) Danny: (While running from Technus, who is in Valerie's ghost hunting suit) You were pushing Valerie and me together!
Technus: You're welcome! (Tries to shoot Danny with the Ectogrenade Launcher; Danny dodges all the attacks and tries to go ghost) Uh, uh, eh. Careful. (Shows Danny cameras) Secret identity, remember? (Danny no longer tries to go ghost) I wonder who will miss you more. The angry ghost hunter, or the frustrated little Goth girl who can't admit her feelings!
Danny: What are you --
Technus: Ah, well. Nothing you need to worry about now, because you are through interfering with my plans! (Charges the Ectogrenade Launcher) (edit)

The license plate of the bus in London that is shown while Technus is controlling the satellite is 'DP164', the 'DP' part being, of course, a reference to Danny Phantom's initials. (edit) When Technus has control over the satellite, and is blasting rays into a traffic light in London, you can see a restaurant in the background named "Redlion Fish N Chips". (edit) Danny said Technus hates emotions. When has Technus shown signs of this? (edit) Look Hard: When the students are first shown at Axiom Labs, you can see a large banner that says Vlad Co. on the outside of the building. When Danny goes back to Axiom Labs to fight Technus, the banner is gone. (edit) Damon wasn't in the room when Valerie's suit attacked the lab. So why did he grab Valerie? He couldn't have known who did it since he wasn't there. (edit)

Cybertron Mainframe: Name
The name of Axion Labs' super computer is an homage to the planet of the Autobots and Decepticons from the various Transformers incarnations. (edit) Technus Satellite: (After swallowed the overloaded rocket jet pack by accident and explodes)

An allusion from the movie "Hot Shots! Part Deux". The enemy accidentally swallowed Topper Harley's grenade while laughing and the enemy ship exploded. This was seen after the Technus Satellite accidentally swallowed the overloaded rocket jet pack that Danny gave it to him. (edit) Flirting With Disaster: (The Storyline Itself)
Actually, the storyline has some allusions from Superman 3. The examples are: (1)The blackout scene due to the Ultimate Computer's malfunction. On Technus 2.0, he was doing it for Danny and Valerie. (2)One of (The Villain)Ross Webster's Henchmen, Vera Ross, was caught by the ultimate computer's suction beam and transforms into Fembot 2.0. On Valerie, it gave her a new suit from the Technus Possessed supercomputer.
(edit) Danny & Valerie: (Ending scene)
The ending scene between Valerie and Danny in the episode, where she tells Danny that they cannot be anything more than just friends is very similar to the end of the 2002 movie, Spider-Man, where Peter Parker tells Mary Jane that even though he would love to be with her, he can only be her friend. In both this episode and Spider-Man, the dumper walks away and leaves the dumpee upset, then the final scene shows the dumper soaring through the town in his/her costume. (edit) Epsiode: Title
The title of the episode, "Flirting With Disaster", is also the name of a movie made in 1996 which starred Ben Stiller (Alex in the movie "Madagascar" and the host of the Kids' Choice Awards 2005), Alan Alda ("M*A*S*H*"), Mary Tyler Moore (The "Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Mary Tyler Moore" show), and Patricia Arquette ("Holes").
