TRIVIA

  • Why would Walker put Skulker in prison but not take away his battlesuit? edit »
  • When Walker was holding Danny up by the front of his shirt, you could see Danny's stomach. But he was wearing the gloves and shoes from his costume, so was he wearing his costume or just the gloves and shoes? edit »
  • When Danny goes into the Ghost Zone by accident in the beginning, he is in human form and was banished by Walker. When he goes back later to the Ghost Zone in ghost form, Walker still recognized him and got mad. edit »
  • When Danny first sees Skulker is in the ghost jail, He has 4 fingers. Later, he has 5 fingers. edit »
  • Since the webcam is a real world item, Walker should not have been able to move it. edit »
  • When Danny gets thrown in a pot of green ectoplasmic residue, his ghostly glow is green instead of its usual white. edit »
  • The ghost girl with the Amulet of Aragon bumped her head on the Specter Speeder when she was chasing it, but since the Specter Speeder is a Real World object, she should have phased through it. edit »
  • In Jack’s flashback about him forgetting the present, it was perched on a dresser, but when Danny accidentally knocked it into the Ghost Zone, it was on the floor. edit »
  • When Jazz rushes into the living room after she tells Danny to keep it down, and when Danny turns back to normal, there are two papers in front of him and two papers in back. However, when Danny goes ghost and is about to phase into the floor to get to the lab, the papers are suddenly gone. edit »
  • When Danny accidentally zaps Jack’s present and sends it flying into the Ghost Zone, the tag fell off, but in many scenes where the present is shown in the Ghost Zone, the tag is suddenly on. edit »
  • In Jack’s flashback, he was carrying a suitcase and saying, “I’m coming, Maddie." However, in the scenes where Maddie was approaching the taxi and when Jack was chasing after it, there was no evidence that Jack quickly went back into the lab and got his suitcase and ran back outside considering the fact that Danny and Jazz were in front of the only entrance to FentonWorks. edit »
  • During the entire scene where Jack was talking to Maddie as she was leaving in a taxi, Jack had no suitcase near him, but when Jack says (to Danny and Jazz), “So, I’m traveling to your Aunt Alicia’s in Spittoon, Arkansas,” a suitcase suddenly appears. edit »
  • When Maddie accidentally zaps Jack (who is upside down in a parachute), he falls to the ground and all of his hair has been fried, but in the next scene where Jack is sipping lemonade, all his hair is suddenly back. edit »
  • Skulker still had the PDA before in "Bitter Reunions," but it was no where to be found in this episode. edit »
  • Technus is in his mechanical form, although in "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale," he was sent back in his ghost form. edit »

NOTES

  • It is never revealed what Jack was going to give Maddie since the Box Ghost came out of it. It is possible that the picture in "Identity Crisis" that Jack had was the present. edit »
  • The energy cuffs that Walker's Guards use are similar to the blasts from Skulker's various guns except they last much longer. edit »
  • Walker is able to make a giant illusion of himself making him seem much larger than he really is. This same power was later used by Pariah Dark in "Reign Storm." edit »
  • We learn that Danny is supposed to get an allowance, but due to Jack’s forgetfulness, he does not usually give Danny one. edit »
  • All of Walker's ghost guard henchmen look identical and they have special “handcuff materializer sticks.” edit »
  • We learn that Danny can gently move objects around using his ectoplasmic energy blasts. edit »
  • This marks the first time that Danny doesn't go ghost before the theme song. edit »
  • According to Jazz’s observations:
    1) Jack would never be self-aware enough to realize that he made a mistake.
    2) Jack does not apologize.
    3) Jack does not understand what a “goof” he can be. edit »
  • Look Hard: In the scene where the camera focuses on Jazz’s books, directly after Jazz says “I was wrong?” (for the second time), there is a book labeled “Psych,” a green notebook labeled “Jack Fenton Observations,” and a pink notebook labeled “Journal 1998-1999,” which means that Jazz has been keeping journals as far back as when she was ten years old, and possibly farther. edit »
  • Look Hard: When the camera focuses on Jack and Maddie’s wedding picture, Jack is wearing his usual trademark jumpsuit, but has a ponytail, while Maddie is wearing a wedding dress and her jumpsuit goggles. edit »
  • According to Walker, the following are against the Ghost Zone rules:
    1) Trespassing in an unauthorized vehicle.
    2) Possession of unauthorized recording equipment.
    3) Loitering.
    4) Creating a disturbance
    5) Possession of a "real world" contraband.
    6) Letting a felon go without punishment.
    7) Escaping from a prison. edit »
  • Walker’s rules that were mentioned in this episode include:
    1) A first offense crime results in a 1,000 year jail sentence
    2) Anybody who crosses Walker pays the consequences.
    3) Walker is allowed to crush ghosts. edit »
  • Look Hard: On the side of the truck that takes Danny and The Box Ghost to jail, it says “GZPD” (most likely to stand for Ghost Zone Police Department). edit »
  • This is the first time that Jazz has seen a ghost (The Box Ghost). edit »
  • It is revealed that Jack and Maddie have been married for eighteen years edit »
  • Danny does not catch a ghost in the Fenton Thermos in this episode. edit »
  • This is the first episode in which Danny's ghost sense does not go off. edit »
  • Running Gags: 1) Jack taking a "whiz" on Alicia's rhubarb. 2) Alicia claiming that she is perfectly happy with her divorce, but seems very bitter. 3) Jazz freaking out about being wrong. edit »
  • Apparently, ghosts can eat, since they were all being served in the prison cafeteria. edit »
  • It is shown that ghosts refer to Earth as the “Real World” and the Ghost Zone as the “Ghost Zone.” edit »
  • Apparently, the Dragon Ghost girl’s mother still would not let her go to the ball, since she mentions to Sam and Tucker that she wants to go to the ball. edit »
  • Apparently, Danny, at some point, tossed the Amulet of Aragon (from “Parental Bonding”) in the Ghost Zone, since the Dragon Ghost girl still has it. edit »
  • It is shown that Jazz is usually never wrong about anything and that she meticulously keeps journals about her family's behavior. edit »
  • It is revealed that Maddie has a sister named Alicia, who has been divorced for ten years and has been living in Spittoon, Arkansas ever since. She also does not like Jack, nor believe in ghosts. edit »
  • After almost being sent to the Ghost Zone twice in "One of a Kind" and "What You Want," this episode features the first time Danny has entered the Ghost Zone. edit »

  • In this episode, it is revealed that humans are considered "ghosts" in the Ghost Zone. Humans in the Ghost Zone can phase through objects just like a ghost on Earth. They obtain pretty much all the powers of Danny in his ghost form, with the exception of ectoplasm-based abilities. edit »
  • We learn that Jack and Maddie's anniversary is on May 9th. edit »
  • Title Screen Caption: "Captivating Chaos!" edit »
  • Featured Named Invention(s): Specter Speeder. edit »

  • Main Villain(s): Walker. edit »
  • Skulker, The Box Ghost, the Lunch Lady Ghost, Desiree, Technus, and the Dragon Ghost all return. Technus and Desiree have no dialogue, while Skulker seems to have a lot. edit »

ALLUSIONS

  • Jasper:: Get set to get wet, Yuppie
    "Get Set to Get Wet" was the advertising slogan for the Splish Splash Water Park of Riverhead, Long Island, New York. edit »
  • Episode Title: Prisoners of Love
    This is a reference about the song Prisoers of Love from the movie "The Producers", by Mel Brooks. The song is about being in love in prison. edit »
  • Walker: Appearance
    The name, Walker, is probably in reference to the title character of the popular CBS tv show, Walker: Texas Ranger. A show about a stalwart, martial arts, Texas Ranger and his work solving crimes and righting wrongs. Walker was played by action star Chuck Norris. edit »
  • PDA: Game
    The game that Tucker was playing on his PDA was the classic arcade game called Space Invaders. edit »
  • Ghost Zone: Ghost Lairs
    When Danny went into the Ghost Zone, there were doors floating around, just like in the movie, Monsters, Inc. Each door went into a ghost's lair. In Monsters, Inc., each door went into a kid's room. edit »
