Notes

add »
Look Hard: When Spectra comes out of her office with Paulina, Danny is sitting under a sign that reads: "Happy Chair!" (edit)
Apparently, Bertrand can't fly in his panther form since he had to turn back into the Blob form before he could fly out of the Pharmacy. (edit)
Apparently, Danny isn't affected by objects like chairs since Bertrand threw a chair into him so hard it broke and Danny didn't even flinch. (edit)
Insight Digital Description: Jazz thinks Danny is depressed so she signs him up for some therapy. (edit)
Bertrand transformed into the following things in this episode (not counting his human-looking ghost form):
1) Green blob-like creature.
2) Giant green hornet.
3) Green panther.
4) Green ninja. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Danny: Great. He got away again. Another ringing endorsement for the town screw-up. (edit)
(After Jazz leaves room)
Danny: Phew! (Turns and accidently walks into pile of boxes)
Danny: Oh, ah, right. (Turns invisible, flies out roof) (edit)
Jazz: It's Jazz, my friends call me Jazz.
Danny:: Yeah, but your brother calls you fink!
Jazz: Danny, I'm just trying to help. Come on, we used to talk all the time.
Danny: Yeah, when I was eight and you weren't a fink! (edit)
Dash: (Glumly) Another day, another twenty-four hours closer to a career of pumping gas.
Kwan: At least you'll have a job. Apparently, I'm gonna end up a hobo. I didn't even know they had hobos anymore! (edit)
(After Spectra grabs Danny)
Danny: Let go of me!
Spectra: Why would I do that? Your doubts, your misery, it's delicious! And the best part is, after that silly speech is over, and the last domino falls, and the sparklers vaporize the speaker, we'll leave you here to take the blame! And by the time I'm done with you, you'll be sure it was all your fault!
Danny: Man, I'm so tired of you dumping on me, and I'm so tired of dumping on myself. Jazz never did that, even when I was mad at her, and I won't let her DOWN!
(Blasts Spectra and becomes free) (edit)

Trivia

add »
Sam's ice cream was actually a soy cube. (edit)
When Danny and Bertrand (hornet form) are outside fighting, after Bertand rips through Danny's suit, the next scene that shows Danny's arm that was ripped through is suddenly intact. (edit)
Danny's ghost sense goes off when he is near a ghost, so when Spectra came out of the room to get Danny, wouldn't his ghost sense go off? (edit)
In the scene were Spectra and Bertrand are discussing what they will do after they destroy Jazz, when Bertrand is zapped by Danny's ectoplasmic blast and Spectra gasps, she has pupils. (edit)
When Jack uses the Fenton Ghost Peeler for the first time, he lands on and destroys the blue round table in the kitchen, but in the scene where Danny is twisting his fork on his plate of food, the table he is sitting at is the same blue round table that Jack destroyed. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Episode Title: My Brother's Keeper
This title could be a parody of the novel title My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
(edit)
Bertrand: Blob form
Bertrand's blob form looks and acts similar to Slimer from "The Ghost Busters", except Slimer has no powers other than being able to fly and phase through walls. (edit)
Bertrand: Turns into green animals.
The way Bertrand can turn into any animal and they are all green could be a reference to Beast Boy from Teen Titans who also morphs into animals that are all green. (edit)
Jazz: (Discovers Danny's secret)
The way how Jazz found out that Danny was half ghost is very similar to how Mary Jane discovered that Peter Parker was Spider-Man in the comic books. After seeing Peter go into his house, then saw Spider-Man swing out from his bedroom window. MJ, like Jazz, did not tell Peter or anybody else about her knowledge of Spider-Man’s real identity and constantly hinted that she knew, usually by suddenly stating that she must leave whenever she is near Peter and trouble is happening, so he could privately turn into Spider-Man and by making excuses for Peter to anybody who perceived something suspicious in Peter’s behavior. In addition, Peter, like Danny, sometimes noticed odd things in Mary Jane’s/Jazz's behavior but never suspected that she knew. Eventually, Peter did discover that MJ knew his secret, but wanted him to tell her on his own. So, like Jazz and Danny, Peter’s secret suddenly became Peter and MJ’s secret. (edit)
Episode Title: My Brother's Keeper
The title is likely a reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. After Cain murders Abel, God asks where Abel has gone. Cain replies, "Am I my brother's keeper?" (edit)
