Danny Phantom

Kindred Spirits

Season 2, Episode 15, Aired 4/7/06

Episode Summary

Vlad's up to something and it involves Danny. After he sends three ghosts to Amity Park to battle Danny Phantom, it is revealed that he's working on his creepiest project yet: a clone of Danny Phantom. So far, the clones he creates can't sustain their forms for very long, but Vlad is determined to succeed. Danny doesn't have long to worry about Vlad's ghostly visitors, however, because he's distracted by the appearance of Danielle, a cousin he didn't know he had. And then, Danielle reveals that she too has ghost powers -- she's Dani Phantom! Unfortunately, she's also a product of Vlad's experiments, and therefore an imperfect ghost with an unstable form. Danny must convince his new "relative" to turn on her creator and help him destroy Vlad's evil experiment, before it's too late for both ghost kids.moreless

This is a great episode if you love Sailor Moon (well, DP is a good show if you're a Sailor Moon fan), with the whole "cousin" thing, if you get the reference. Danni's adorable, and she looks more like 10 than 12. She turned good at the end, which was good, and she's done by none other by Annasophia Robb of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Many people thought Danny was a jerk in this episode, but they shouldn't be so harsh. He's just a shy, clumsy kid who needs to save earth from ghosts. He was so cute at the end thanking his friends. I loved Sam's comment on the Booooo-merang.moreless

Wow, the plot, the new caracters, the script, it's PERFECT! It's one of the best and I love re-watching this episode. I represent the fan club in my town, and up there with the TV movies is this episode. It's so cool! With the addition of Danielle/Dani Phantom, the series just got better. It was fun to see her return later, and it went well with the fan club too. So, great job for the creators of Danny Phantom. You are so cool for creating this episode. But, you are not forgiven for CANCELLING THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, props for this episode. Whoo-Hoo!moreless

Yes Dani Phantom! a clone of Danny and a father to Vlad Plasmius (ex-Father) The beginning of this episode shows Danny being selfish and when he gets to his room that's where he met Danni "Your cousin once removed" and when a ghost attacks we find out that she's half ghost too! and when they chase another ghost Danny runs up to Vlad and was shocked that Dani works for Vlad and treating her as a daughter! but really she was just using him. When Dani realizes this she frees danny and Danny uses his Ghost Wail to destroy Vlad's Lab and we also get to see vlad's weird obsession with Maddie. at the end Sam and Tucker were more appreciated by Danny and Danny helps him not to get in trouble. I like the character of Dani! and how she's designed this episode is a MUST see! obviously m favorite episode in season 2moreless

I like the character of Dani Phantom. She is very cute. I would like to see her again! Dani Phantom introduced herself as Danny Phantom's cousin. I liked Dani or Danielle Phantom whether she is in human form or ghost form. If Nickelodeon will make season 4 of Danny Phantom, I would like to see her again and introduce her to the Fentons and will help Danny Phantom in fighting ghosts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I also like her to save the world like Danny Phantommoreless

Vlad studies videos of Danny Phantom recorded from cameras he placed inside the weaponry/suit he gave Valerie months back and finds it is not possible to copy Danny completely unless he has his mid-morph transformation. Three containment chambers behind him open, each with three different ghosts: one wearing a bedsheet, one looking like a grey Hulk, and the other a small green blob. He sends them all to find Danny before ordering his computer, a program of Maddie, to insult Jack.

Sam and Tucker are at a mini-golf course where Sam tries to hit the golf ball in the windmill but fails. As Tucker moves in for a score, he hits it 5 times only for it to go intangible every time, a small prank pulled by Danny. He appears late, having overslept, a gesture that annoys his friends who confess his recent treatment of the two is becoming more like sidekicks than friends. Danny apologizes at the same time the bedsheet ghost appears. He does battle, revealing the ghost behind the bedsheet, a skeleton with no waist-down. He tries to make Danny "change back", but Danny ends up blasting it away with a very powerful Ghost Ray, destroying the windmill course with it. He quickly flies away, leaving the manager to blame Sam and Tucker.

Danny keeps apologizing over on his cellphone back in the Fenton household for leaving (stating he couldn't be seen in his state), but Tucker and Sam, who have to build the entire windmill golf course from scratch, are still angry at his abandonment. Entering his room, he meets a 12-year-old girl who claims to be his third cousin once removed, Danielle, lying on his bed reading his comic books. After getting her something to eat and discovering that she has many of the same interests as Danny, he still remains suspicious of her motives and background, so he tries to take her downstairs to tell his parents about her, but she stubbornly runs back into his room. Danny chases back after her, only to find her gone. He goes ghost and leaves outside only for the Hulk-Ghost to attack him. Danielle, or Dani for short, tells Danny she knows who he is and in a surprising twist of fate, she transforms into a ghost similar to that of Danny. They manage to melt the ghost by using ghost rays to blast a hole in the ghost. Danny afterwards quickly bombards her with questions, but she quickly fakes a faint to avoid questioning, causing Danny to take her back home.

By next day, Sam and Tucker are not interested in on the revelation of Dani, still angry over yesterday. Dani afterwards phases through the table where Danny once again tries to ask her, but their ghost senses go off as the little green ghost comes in, destroying the cafeteria. Danny and Dani run after it, leaving Dash to blame the mess on Tucker and Sam to Mr. Lancer.

Danny and Dani chase the ghost across Amity Park (in a bit of a race the two started), but Dani starts to lag, causing a confident Danny to run into Vlad. The older hybrid, more serious than ever, fights Danny. Evenly matched, Danny is knocked unconscious however from behind by Dani who shoots a ghost ray at his back, all part of a job masterminded by Vlad, her "daddy". Sam and Tucker, while taking out the garbage from the cafeteria, witness Vlad carrying Danny away with Dani following suit. When Lancer tells the two to return, they quickly fake an excuse causing an angry teacher as they run to the Fenton household. There Maddie picks up the phone when Lancer calls them about Sam and Tucker's behavior. The parents catch the two sneaking into the basement lab, taking the Specter Deflector as they ride the Specter Speeder to find Danny via Booo-merang.

At Vlad's cabin, Danny awakens in the Spectral Energy Neutralizer where, after another barrage of insults, Vlad reveals how he used his ghost powers to steal money and overshadow millionares (like Bill Gates) to become the rich man he is today, but confesses in the end how all he wanted was love. Dani, invisible above them, sees all this as Vlad shows Danny a containment chamber containing the "perfect half-ghost son" clone. The other ghosts Danny has fought, including Dani, were imperfect clones. Vlad afterwards (after placing Danny in a containment chamber) sends the small green ghost (which is actually a small, amorphous clone of Danny) to try and overshadow Danny to get him to transform, but he resists. The chamber overloads and Danny flies out. A frustrated Vlad then notices Dani who, heartbroken confronts and cries out if she, too is imperfect; the clone dissolving into ectoplasm only heightens her fear. Vlad lies to her that he needs Danny's DNA to stabilize hers. Believing his words, she sets out to find Danny whom she attacks, the latter trying hard to warn her not to or she will dissolve, as well as tell her that Vlad is not trying to save her but merely using her. She, however, refuses to believe him and knocks him out again.

Danny wakes up in the containment chamber again once more with Vlad ordering Dani to overshadow Danny. A reluctant Dani is afraid the strain will be too much for her. Vlad continuously eggs her on until he harshly snaps at her hesitation. Knowing she was now being used the entire time, she releases Danny, both transform, and knock Vlad into the primary clone's chamber. There, Vlad watches in horror as his perfect clone slowly dissolves. With his most determined plan a failure, Vlad eyes Dani in a fit of pure rage, immediately trying to get revenge on her for the loss of his "son". Danny, however, steps in and unleashes his Ghostly Wail. Vlad is knocked back as well as all the devices used to make the clones, however a bitter Vlad immediately gets up and transforms again. Dani defends Danny despite her still unstabilized form. Luckily, she is saved when Vlad is suddenly hit in the head by the Boooo-merang and the Specter Speeder crashes into the building, slamming into him. Tucker quickly puts the Specter Deflecter on Vlad, and Dani punches him in the face, knocking him unconscious. Danny tightly hugs Sam and Tucker and thanks them numerous times for their help, promising to never take them for granted again

At FentonWorks, Sam and Tucker face potential punishment from the Fenton parents and Lancer until out of the blue, Maddie suddenly declares they don't need to call their parents and receive punishment; Lancer strangely agrees as well, then tells Jack they can always build another Specter Speeder which quckly reduces his anger and turns into excitement. Tucker and Sam later on, assume Danny overshadowed them from afar, but it was merely Dani who saved their hides. She flies off, promising they will meet again. Danny thanks Sam and Tucker again, much to their annoyance.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In "Maternal Instincts," when Vlad wears the Specter Deflector, it shocks and hurts him because he is a ghost. In this episode though, when they put it on him, it only prevents him from transforming. Edit
- Why does the Booomerang fly after Vlad if it is locked in on Danny? Edit
- In "Ultimate Enemy" when Danny used the Ghostly wail on Dark Danny, he defeated him with ease. But when he used it on Vlad (who's clearly nowhere near as powerful as Dark Danny), he was able to recover and get up as if nothing happened. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Nicktoons Network Premiere date: August 29, 2008. Edit
- Ben Balistreri created the character design for Danielle/Dani Phantom. Edit
- Dani is Danny's female clone, but she's twelve while Danny is fourteen. This probably means that the cloning process was probably calculating on Danny's mature level. Since girls mature faster then boys, that would explain why Danny has a twelve year old female clone instead of a fourteen year old. Edit

- Danny: (To Danielle) Can I help you? Sam: YES!! Danny: (To Sam through phone) NO, NOT YOU! Danielle: Not so loud. I'm Danielle. Your third cousin once removed? I ran away from home. Hey, you got any food? Danny: Uhm... I gotta go... Sam: Of COURSE you do! Edit
- (After Danielle eats a lot of food and belches loudly) Danielle: You wanna be an astronaut? Did you know they only choose 100 people- Danny and Danielle:(In unison) Every 2 years to go in the space program... Danny: Yeah, I knew that. How did you? (Danielle sees a Dumpty Humpty CD next to her) Danielle: Dumpty Humpty! Those guys rock! Danny: Yeah, I knew that too! Have you had enough to eat? Danielle: Mmm hmm. Danny: Then it's time to talk to my parents! (Grabs Danielle's left arm and attempts to take her to his parents) Danielle: NO! Danny: Look, you say your my cousin, and maybe you are, but we still have to call your parents! Danielle: I SAID NO! (Danielle runs back into Danny's room) Danny: Hey come back!

(She blasts Danny in the back; he falls to the ground, and turns back into human form) Danny: (Lifting his head) I don't understand... Danielle: (Flies next to Vlad) Did I do good, Daddy? Vlad: You did excellent, child. I could not wish for a better daughter. (Danny passes out; Vlad laughs maniacally) Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Dani Phantom: Little girl clone The concept of Danielle, a cloned female version of Danny, is similar to that of X-23 of X-Men, a young girl who was cloned from Wolverine. Edit
- Failed Clones : All the 'failed' clones seem to be based on Bizarro, the imperfect clone of Superman. As the clones are failures becuase they don't have Danny's 'Mid-Morph' DNA, Bizarro is a failure because of Superman's complex alien DNA. Edit
- Title: Kindred Spirits The title refers to two or more peole who are alike. This fits since Dani is Danny's clone and both are half-ghost. Edit
