Secret Weapons

Episode Number: 29    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Friday December 9, 2005    Prod Code: 031
Skulker's on a looting spree, snatching up a number of seemingly unrelated items. Unfortunately, Danny's attempts to stop him are thwarted by the well-intentioned meddling of Danny's new sidekick: Jazz. However, Danny didn't ask for -- and doesn't want -- Jazz's help, and after a series of humiliating mishaps, Danny blows up at his sister. In response, Jazz runs away from home... to Vlad's castle in Wisconsin! But it's only a ruse. Jazz soon manages to break into Vlad's inner sanctum and discovers that he has been using Skulker to collect the items necessary to upgrade the Fenton's stolen Ecto-Skeleton. When Danny arrives at the castle, Vlad makes Jazz don the improved battle suit in a no-holds-barred fight against Danny Phantom!

Notes

add »
Danny: Oh, yeah? You and what toaster?
This is a variation of the retort "You and what army?", typically used when someone doesn't feel that their opponent poses a very big threat. (edit)
Look Hard: The year book that Jazz was reading says "1981", meaning that Vlad, Jack and Maddie were in college around the early 80's. (edit)
The other ghosts that made an appearance was the Box Ghost, Lunch Lady, Klemper, and a brief shot of Technus (edit)
When Jazz lists the three things she's done when she arrives at Vlad's Mansion Vlad asks her to repeat them. First, she repeats the first one, then the last one, then the middle one which is what Vlad wanted to hear. The same thing happens in "Maternal Instinct" when Maddie asks Vlad to repeat the three things he lists off. (edit)
Although he transforms twice in this episode, this is the first time Vlad has ever acted as a villain in his human form. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Jazz: (After catching Danny in the Fenton Thermos by accident; to Tucker & Sam) Think I should work on my banter?
Tucker: Start with your aim! (edit)
Klemper: (Throwing ice balls) Won't anyone be my friend?
(Jazz charges up to Klemper with the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick)
Danny: You're going up to him with the Anti-Creep Stick?
Jazz: I know what I'm doing, Danny. (To Klemper) Give me your worst, friendly fiend! You haven't got the guts. (to Danny) Huh? Guts?
Danny: Yeah, see the guts joke would've been better in the last fight.
(Jazz slips on the ice and mistakenly send Danny flying into a wall of ice; Klemper escapes)
Jazz: I'm helping!
(Danny, Sam, & Tucker emerge from the ice with annoyed faces) (edit)
(In Danny's room)
Maddie: It's not like Jazz to just take off without saying something.
Jack: I know. She usually talks and talks and talks. Big words I can barely understand.
Maddie: Danny, can you think of any reason she might be upset?
Jack: Or why she might have taken the Specter Speeder?
Danny: (To himself) She's after Skulker.
Jack and Maddie: What?
Danny: (Nervously) I said...I'm so upset about her leaving I'm going to skulk...her? Gotta go! (Danny runs down the stairs to the lab) I told her she was a lousy ghost hunter so of course she decided to prove me wrong and hunt Skulker. (Transforms in Danny Phantom and flies through Fenton Portal) But if anything happens to her...now it's my fault. (edit)
Danny: Look, Jazz, I know you're trying to help.
Jazz: Trying?
Danny: And please don't be offended but-
(Jack grabs Danny)
Jack: Hey, Danny! Check this out. Your mother and I have sooped up the RV with an Ecto-Converter.
Danny: Ecto-Converter?
Maddie: It converts a ghost's natural ecto energy into a constantly replenishing fuel source.
Jazz: Does it hurt the ghost?
Maddie: (Laughing) Oh, Jazz. You know your father and I don't care about that.
Jack: If it's screaming, then we know it's working! (Goes back to work on the ecto-converter with Maddie)
Jazz: Good thing there's no ghosts here. (Nudges Danny) Right, Danny? No ghosts here. (In a sing-song voice; to Danny, about Jack & Maddie) We know something they don't know.
Danny: (Mocking Jazz) I get it. Can we let it die now?
Jazz: (Hums in the sing-song voice and knocks Danny into the Ecto-Converter; The RV speeds away) You really need to work on controlling your powers.
(Danny scowls) (edit)
(In closet)
Jazz: Danny, calm down.
Danny: Calm down? How can I calm down with you constantly butting your nose in where it doesn't belong?!
Jazz: I was just tyring to help.
Danny: Nobody asked you to help! (People outside the closet are listening) You're a lousy ghost hunter, an overbearing sister, and an annoying, obnoxious know-it-all with no respect for her brother's privacy, so stop helping! (Everyone outside gasps; Jazz whimpers then runs off crying; Danny steps out; everyone glares at him) (edit)

Trivia

add »
The position of Danny's bedroom door changes in this episode. When Skulker comes into his room, his door is where it has always been -- to the far right of his bed. But when Jack and Maddie come in to wake him up after Jazz runs away, when they open the door, the light floods in from right in front of Danny's bed. (edit)
When Tucker is laughing at Danny because he got sucked into the Fenton thermos and Danny gets Tucker stuffed into the locker Danny leans on that one but Sam opens the one beside him to let Tucker out. (edit)
Jazz mentions to Danny that she did not know Vlad Masters had a thing for Mom. However, in "Bitter Reunions", Jazz recongnized that Vlad was flirting with Maddie (although it didn't bother her). (edit)
When Danny and Jazz are driving home in the Specter Speeder, for a few moments, Jazz's eyes are two different shades of blue. (edit)
In this episode, Jazz drives a red convertible. However, in "The Ultimate Enemy," she drove a pink Beetle. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Vlad's Control

Vlad's remote control in the battle looks similar to the one Control Freak from Teen Titans uses in his battles. (edit)
Sam: See you later, X? X marks the spot? You've been X-ed? None of these are funny.
When Sam is reading the witty banter suggestions Jazz has written up for Danny's next fight against "Ghost-X" (Skulker), one of them is, "You've been X-ed." This was a tagline used on the short-lived hidden-camera prank show, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, hosted by Jamie Kennedy himself. Jamie would appear in a wide variety of disguises, getting his "marks" involved in an equally wide variety of bizarre predicaments. When a joke has run its course, he delivers the show's tagline: "You've been X-ed!" (edit)
Computer Symbol: Appearance
If you look on the back of Jazz's and Vlad's laptops, there is a pear symbol on them, like there was on Danny's computer in "Identity Crisis." Once again, this is likely spoofing the Macintosh computer brand apple symbol. More Info (edit)
