Episode Summary

Amity Park is thrown into chaos by the town's first mass invasion of ghosts. It's all part of a plan by the Ghost Zone's top Sheriff, Walker, to capture Danny Phantom. As Danny first battles, then befriends, a hulking ghost named Wulf, Walker and his deputies "overshadow" most of the people in Danny's inner circle. While eluding attacks from his ghost fighting parents, Danny defeats Walker and restores calm in the city -- but earns the title of "Public Ghost Enemy #1" in the process!

    Wow, Walker's back and wants total revenge on Danny!! Superly exciting! hide show

    I totally loved this episode! Walker wants to make Amity Park the prison for Danny which he left in the Ghost Zone! Walker seemed really evil in this episode and his plan was really thought-out and thorough! Danny seemed to be in a lot of trouble because everyone he came in contact with was overshadowed! Plus, Walker tricked Danny into thinking htere was a town meeting and he then tried to blame everything on him! Wulf was also involved and had become like a friend to him! It was so sad when he got taken away, but why did Danny think that his parents were being overshadowed when they were obviously acting like normal. Weird! Anyway, this was one of my favorite episodes of season 1!!

    Sheriff Walker tries to lead Danny into a trap. hide show

    This was a very exciting episode. My favorite part would have to be the fighting scene between Sheriff Walker and his prison guards and Danny. I thought it was funny when Kwan (overshadowed by a prison guard ghost) started to do all these difficult fighting moves in front of Danny and then Danny just looked bored and shot him with his finger. I loved that part! I also like Wulf. He wasn't cute like the little ghost dog in Shades of Gray, but he was pretty cool since he was able to tear ghosts out of the humans they're overshadowing.

    Wow, what a wimp. hide show

    Man Walker, everyone loses every now and then, no need to through a tantrum over it. Your not the first to get their butt beat by the halfa. All joking aside, this episode was probably one that would have been needed for the series. The ghost raid on the city that is blamed on Danny wills lead to later decisions by characters on whether they believe he is a good or a bad guy. It also has one of the coolest created characters in the series, Wulf. Hopefully he will make a return in the 3rd season.

    Walker and his gang are trying to make Danny enimy number one in his town. hide show

    I like this episode bc i love the show Danny Phantom this is probaly my second Favorite episode. Beacause of the quotes in it. And its definatly one of the well written ones to. Jack is so funny in this episode because of his cookie comment and him running into doors and making Maddie look so incredibaly smart. Also I love Tucker in this episode because of the whole speaking another language thing "Tucker: It was a language in the 1800's but now its just a way for geeks to talk to each other". Then he says somthing in the language thats probaly the funiest part.

  • After Walker left Dash's body, Bullet left Principal Isyima's body to overshadow him, but at the beginning of the episode, Principal Isyima was overshadowed by a guard. []
  • When Danny was being chased by his parents, Bullet is sucked into the portable ghost portal, but he reappears at the end of the episode in the basement of the city hall. []
  • Why would Danny smile for a prison shot? []
More Trivia
  • Title Picture: Wulf slashing a wanted poster of Danny. []
  • This is the first time Danny calls out the name of one of his attacks (Go ghost stinger). []
  • Danny Phantom saving Paulina seemed to foreshadow her falling in love with him in the next episode. []
More Notes
  • (Sam is forced to spend the night at Tucker's house)
    Sam: Next time, we take the extra-dimensional fugitive to my house. []
  • (After Tucker removes Wulf's collar)
    Wulf: (Speaking Esperanto)
    Tucker: Of course you're free. And... (Wulf jumps out the window and breaks the glass) You're welcome! []
  • Mayor Montez: (With Walker overshadowing him) All in favor of declaring martial law and allowing the completely competent Jack Fenton to mobilize a massive ghost hunt, please say...
    Danny: (In ghost form) I might be too young to vote, but I'm casting one anyway. (People in the crowd chatter in fear) You people have to listen to me. I'm on your side!
    Jack: You're not fooling anybody, ghost kid! You are going down! (Tries to throw Fenton Fisher at him, but sees that it's still tangled) As soon as I untangle this thing.
    Danny: My parents might be overshadowed, but this should harmlessly push the ghosts out of them. (Shoots ghost ray at them; they are knocked backward; everyone else screams and hides) Or they could not be overshadowed, and I could have totally ticked them off. []
More Quotes
  • Wulf: Ability
    Wulf's ability to open up a portal to get to the human world could be based on the Golden Tiger Claws from Xiaolin Showdown. []
  • Danny: My ghost sense is going crazy.
    This is similar to Spider-Man who would often say, "My spidey sense is going crazy." []
  • Amity-Park-Angle: Public Enemy Number One
    The newspaper headline stating that Danny is a villain seems to be an homage to the numerous front page covers of the “Daily Bugle” regarding Spider-Man, where the editor, J. Jonah Jameson, used the newspaper to make Spider-Man seem like a villain in the New Yorkers’ eyes. []
