Life LessonsEpisode Number: 18 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Friday February 25, 2005 Prod Code: 018 |
Danny and Valerie Gray are forced to become "parents" to a sack of flour for a one-week school assignment. At the same time, Skulker, ghost hunter extraordinaire, decides to pit Valerie and Danny Phantom against each other in a contest -- with the winner earning the privilege of becoming his prey. When Skulker's orchestrated contest ends in a tie, he handcuffs Danny and Valerie and hunts them both through the Ghost Zone. In order to survive, Danny and Valerie learn to let go of their mutual dislike and cooperate with each other -- which may just affect their relationship in the real world. Or, not.

Skulker: Ok, now my nose itches. Can anybody help? Anyone? Please.
(Danny returns and the flour sack farts on Skulker's face) (edit) Danny: (Valerie begins to chase after Danny)Oh, she's too busy to watch the kid, but when it's time to kick my butt she's front and center?! (edit) Danny: (Baby is crying and cannot get it to be quiet) I've been a parent for all of one day and I'm probably already down to a C-! (edit) Danny: I can move again! Thanks for the save back there.
Valerie: Yeah? Well thank you for nothing! Its your fault were stuck in this freaky ghost world!
Danny: Right. Cause clearly the maniac who cuffed and dragged us in here didn't have anything to do with it!! (edit) (The "baby" "soils" it's diaper)
Danny: Oh, come on!
Sam: Just be thankful it's only flour.
Danny: Then why does it smell like beans? (edit)

While in Skulker's lair, the "baby" flour sack has a ghostly glow.
(edit)
Lilith: Sam names her flour sack this, which surprisingly it means ghost, storm goddess, or spirit of the night.
(edit)
When in Skulker's lair with Valerie, Danny gets paralyzed. Throughout this part he is walking or moving some other way, even though he's supposed to be paralyzed. And this is BEFORE it wore off.
(edit)
When Skulker's trap knocked Danny out, he woke up still in ghost form. In other episodes, being knocked unconscious generally reverts Danny to human.
(edit)
When Sam was looking at her flour sack lovingly, you can see she has pupils.
(edit)
Danny and Valerie: Handcuffed together
This seems to be a spoof off of an old movie made by Alfred Hitchcock in the 1950s or 1940s called The 39 Steps. In the movie, a man and a woman who had grown a mutual hatred for each other became handcuffed together somewhere in the middle of the Scottish countryside. Throughout the majority of the movie, they were on the run from two spies who were out to kill them (similar to Skulker), all the while handcuffed together. This experience also sparked a slight romance between the two of them, who had previously strongly disliked each other, just like it had through this episode and the upcoming episode, "Flirting With Disaster." (edit) Nasty Burger Mascot: Nasty Ned
The Nasty Burger mascot, Nasty Ned, seems to be a parody of the McDonald's fast food restaurant mascot, Ronald McDonald. (edit)
