Danny Phantom

This episode begins with a billboard of Amity Park that reads, "Amity Park, a Nice Place to Live," but it isn't so nice with the ghost animals rampaging through the town. Danny fights a ghost squid, and then saves Sam from a ghost wolf; suddenly Tucker tries to run from a ghost snake, but trips on his technology. However, Danny is there to the rescue. Danny begins to wonder where all the ghosts are coming from.



The scene switches to Jack showing Jazz and Maddie his new invention, the "Fenton Genetic Lock," which opens the Fenton Portal when a Fenton places their thumb on it. Unbeknownst to him is a long line of ghosts waiting to gain access to the real world. In the back, Johnny 13 and his girlfriend, Kitty, are driving on his motorcycle to use the Fenton Portal. He orders his Shadow to keep it open, but Kitty doesn't think it's a good idea to let his bad luck Shadow tag along. Johnny ignores her warning and tries to drive his motorcycle through the gate before it closes. Unfortunately, it does close on Kitty's body and fries it. Since Kitty's body is split between Earth and the Ghost Zone, she needs a girl to wear her energy-filled stuff so that she can switches places to get to the Earth. She tells Johnny not to forget her before she withers away. Johnny promises her that he'll find a new host for her, and then goes through the Fenton Portal. He sees Jazz and declares her his new girlfriend.



The scene switches to Tucker asking a girl to go to a movie with him. She says okay, but Tucker mistakes it as a rejection. When Tucker realized that she said yes, he pulls out all his technology and asks her for her phone number, however, she declines on her yes and calls him a techno geek. Tucker screams that he is not a techno geek while dropping his technology. He quickly realizes what he has done and apologizes to his technology.



Meanwhile, Danny thinks he has just captured the final ghost until his ghost sense goes off. He sees Johnny speeding on his motorcycle. Danny confronts him about it and Johnny responds by having his Shadow attack him. Danny and Johnny's Shadow's fight just results in the Fenton Thermos being destroyed and all the ghosts Danny captured released.



The scene switches to a carnival at the next day. Danny's with Sam and Tucker and talking about how Johnny's Shadow caused all the ghosts to be free and he had to spend another night getting the same ghosts again. Sam suggests that Tucker does a Web search on Shadow ghosts on his PDA. When he pulls it out, Kwan takes it and impersonates Tucker's techno geekiness, but soon stops when he realizes that "techno geek is contagious." Tucker becomes frustrated at being called a techno geek again and gives Sam his PDA. He vows that by the end of the day, no one is going to call him a techno geek anymore. Meanwhile, Jazz is analyzing a painting of a clown while Johnny shows Kitty the girl she is going to take over, Jazz, and Kitty reluctantly agrees.



Tucker is walking while wondering what labels he could have until he walks under a ladder into Dash's fist. Dash decides to label him "Bad Luck Tuck," but Tucker claims that he is not bad luck, but Danny thinks he knows what is when he sees Johnny's Shadow activate a truck, which causes a roller coaster to fly through the air. Danny goes ghost and saves a boy on the roller coaster who grabs two kids, while one falls safely into a ball pen.



Suddenly, Danny hears Jazz screaming, but Johnny saves the day when he pulls Jazz away from the crashing roller coaster. Danny comes to see if Jazz is all right, but she is fine thanks to Johnny. Johnny and Danny have a little disagreement with each other but Jazz tells Danny not to be rude and sees her hideous reflection on his bike mirror. But Johnny thinks that Jazz looks perfect and calls her "Kitten." Danny and Jazz tell him that Jazz's name isn't Kitten, but when she wears Kitty's purple scarf, she suddenly wants to be called that. Johnny then offers Jazz a ride home and she excitedly accepts.



Meanwhile, Dash, Kwan, and their friends chant "Bad Luck Tuck" to Tucker, but Sam tries to console him by saying that at least the techno geek label has been dropped.



When Danny comes home, he sees Johnny's motorcycle and automatically deduces that he is in his house. Jazz and Johnny are talking about his reputation for being unlucky and he gives Jazz a red coat. They are about to kiss until Danny barges in. Johnny asks Jazz if she has some type of basement and she escorts Johnny to the lab. She shows him the Fenton Genetic Lock. He finds it cool, but she doesn't, but is glad that Danny can't bug them down there.



Suddenly, Maddie and Jack scold Jazz for allowing a stranger into the lab. Johnny decides to leave when Maddie and Jack become too unfriendly. Jazz walks Johnny out and asks Danny if he could act any more like their parents. But they all claim in unison that they are not like each other, which makes it very awkward.



The next day at school, Danny is worrying if he is becoming like his parents. Then, Johnny arrives at Casper High and gives Jazz a ride on his motorcycle toward a cliff top. When Danny, Tucker, and Sam arrive at a lunch table outside, two boys get away from the table since "Bad Luck Tuck" is near. Tucker screams that he's not bad luck and his spoon accidentally launches into a bee hive and the bees come out and terrorize the students. After the bee incident, many kids' faces are covered with bee stings and they stare angrily at Tucker, whose face is also covered with bee stings. As he is walking, he begins to think that "Techno Geek" was better than "Bad Luck Tuck." Suddenly, Danny's ghost sense off and sees Jazz riding on Johnny's motorcycle.



The scene changes to Danny Phantom flying near Johnny's motorcycle. Johnny sees the ghost kid and orders his Shadow to defend and attack Danny. When Danny sees the Shadow, he chases after it. The scene changes to atop a cliff where Johnny is offering a ring to Jazz, so that they can go steady. Jazz finds that totally old-school, but really nice. The scene changes back to Danny and the Shadow fighting. During the fight, Danny says, "Suffering spooks," one of his dad's interjections and screams at the realization that he is becoming his dad. The Shadow consumes Danny, but Danny manages to get out using his ectoplasmic energy blasts. Danny realizes that bright light weakens Johnny's Shadow and decides that the Amity Park Movie Plex is a good source of it.



Meanwhile, at the movie theater, "Minimum Wage Stan" calls Tucker "Bad Luck Tuck" again, and Sam decides that he needs a "new" new thing and suggests that he goes Goth. Tucker refuses to do that but when a huge amount of popcorn fills the building, he tells Sam to "Goth him up." Danny is at one of the movie areas with Johnny's Shadow behind him, when the projectors shines in his face, Johnny's Shadow dissipates and goes all the way back to Johnny weakened. Johnny sees this but asks Jazz again if she wants to be his girl. Right before she can answer, Danny intentionally goes back to normal and falls in front of them. Jazz picks him up and asks him if he was spying on them. The scene quickly changes to Jack picking Danny up by his shirt and Maddie asking Jazz's question. Danny admits that he was but his surprisingly his parents congratulate him. But when Jazz looks at them, they both say "And don't do it again!" However, Jack tells Danny to feel free to do it again.



The next day at school, Danny is complaining about how his sister is dating a ghost and he's turning into his parents. But when he looks at Tucker's Goth look, he wonders what he is turning into. Tucker informs him that he's changing his image again; Danny is incredulous that he will be able to pull of Goth. So Tucker shows him his Goth scowl, but hope can still be seen within the scowl. Then Sam informs Tucker that she's going to come to his house and darken his outlook on the world. The scene suddenly changes to Tucker wearing black eyeliner and onyx nail polish.



Suddenly, Johnny pulls up in front of the FentonWorks building and Jazz urges him to come up and listen to some CDs or something. Johnny accepts her offer. They both manage to sneak past Jack and Maddie to the lab. Johnny holds the ring in his hand and asks her again if she wants to be his girl. Right when Jazz is about to accept the ring, Danny claims that Jazz is not anybody's girl. Jazz and Johnny tell Danny to stop spying on them. Danny says that he won't and urges Jazz to think about what she's doing. While he is doing that, he pulls the coat and scarf a little off her body, leaving Jazz a little dizzy. Johnny has had enough of Danny's interference and is about to punch him until Jazz (who is no longer wearing the coat and scarf) demands that he lets her brother go. Johnny, frustrated, throws Danny against a shelf and decides that he'll complete his mission the hard way. He orders his Shadow to go to the shelf, which causes it to fall on Danny. Jazz screams Danny's name, then Johnny grabs Jazz's hand and puts the ring on it. His Shadow puts the coat and scarf on Jazz. Then Johnny grabs Jazz and places her thumb on the Fenton Genetic Lock to open the Fenton Portal. Kitty uses her ghost energy to zap Jazz and switch places with her, leaving Jazz in the Ghost Zone and herself in the lab. Danny manages to get out of the grip on the bookshelf and takes the ring off Kitty and the transformation ceases. Danny tells Johnny that he doesn't know what's going on but knows that he won't be able to do it without the ring and flies off with it. Johnny orders his Shadow to fetch the ring. Danny picks up his cellphone and calls Tucker, hoping that he'll answer.



Meanwhile, Tucker is washing off his Goth makeup and decides to stop going Goth when Sam shows him an earring. Sam makes Tucker realize that she didn't really want Tucker to go Goth, just to make him realize that his first label, the techno geek label, was his best thing. She gives Tucker his PDA and Danny appears on it and he tells him that he needs some of his geek abilities.



Back at the lab, Kitty re-informs Johnny that she cannot switch places with Jazz unless she is wearing her stuff. Jack, from his bedroom, demands to know what's going on down there. Johnny goes intangible up to the bedroom and blocks the door to prevent Jack from cramping his Jack tries to punch through the door but he has no luck.



Meanwhile, Danny is fighting with Johnny's Shadow and goes to his house with the Shadow following him. In Jack's bedroom, he is desperately trying to open the door. Maddie urges him to calm down and try being a little gentle. Suddenly, an intangible Danny and Shadow phase through the door and goes to the lab. Maddie touches the knob lightly and the whole door falls off its hinges. Jack tries to convince Maddie that he helped loosen it.



The scene changes to the lab, Danny flies off and the Shadow was about to do the same until Johnny orders it to return. Johnny, who is furiously mad, phases upstairs to near his parked motorcycle and chases after a flying Danny. Maddie and Jack bust through the front door ready to walk on Johnny, and Maddie is carrying the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick.



While Danny is flying, he urges Tucker and Sam on the floor to hurry up, and Sam tells him that they are. Johnny chases Danny into a field, where Johnny thinks that there is no place to run. Danny tells Johnny that he's not trying to run and orders Tucker to "hit it."



Suddenly, big flashing lights point at Johnny's 13 Shadow and it disappears. Johnny, realizing his source of power is gone, tries to escape, but Danny punches him and catches him into the Fenton Thermos and tells him to stay away from his sister next time. Suddenly, Maddie and Jack show up at the field and demand to know where Jazz's boyfriend is. Jack is sad to hear that Danny already got rid of him.



Back at FentonWorks, Danny, Jack, and Maddie are scolding Jazz about being involved with a punk. Jazz realizes that they were all right about Johnny and tells Danny that she loves him. Jack tells Danny that he has a present for him for being a model son.



The scene changes to Jack dropping Danny off at school, who is wearing Jack's jumpsuit. Dash comes up to Tucker to inform him that he and Kwan are going to stop making fun of him and go back to making fun of Danny. After Dash calls Danny a few names, Danny decides to get a new image and asks Tucker for his PDA. Tucker responds by asking Danny to get his own thing and the episode ends.
