Episode Summary

Vlad is back, only now he's afflicted with a serious case of ecto-acne, a direct result of the college lab accident with Jack and Maddie. To ensure Danny helps him find a cure, Vlad infects Sam and Tucker with his disease, and Danny turns to Clockwork for help. Danny convinces Clockwork to let him go back in time to make sure the accident that injures Vlad never happens. Unfortunately, when he changes the past, he changes the present. When he arrives back in the present day, Maddie is married to Vlad and living in Wisconsin, and Jack's a ghost named Jack Plasmius! Now, Danny must go back in time for a second time to ensure his parents get together, but when he does, will that mean ecto-acne doom for Tucker and Sam?moreless

    In Masters of all Time Vlad infects Sam and Tucker with ecto achne so Danny will help him get rid of his. Danny goes to Clockwork to try and stop Vlads original outbreak of ecto achne which would also stop Vlad from ever getting his powers. But Danny accidently gets Vlad and his mom together and he is therefore never born. But eventually Danny sorts it all out with the help of Clockwork and everything is all nice and cheery again.

    This episode is quite an exiting episode but I wouldn't call it original or new but it is still quite an exiting episode and it also reveals what might happen if Vlad had never gotten his powers. And it turns out that Vlad's powers are a good thing compared to what would happen is he didn't have them.

    Overall this is an exiting episode which reveals alot about Vlad.moreless

    Alright, I'm a person that normally ADORES alternate universes based on changing events. This being said, the product has to MAKE SENSE based on what we know about the characters' pasts.
    .
    .
    This episode just didn't do that. For one, why is Vlad still bitter? Why is he still a controlling JERK? From what we've learned about Vlad's past, he seemed to be JUST as nice of a guy as Jack was, albeit perhaps a bit more cynical. That doesn't mean that he was a bad person, though, and, with the accident that 'ruined his life' having never happened... it doesn't make sense that he would have ever became one. Nothing that would cause Vlad to be angry and bitter happened in this time line, so WHY would he still act that way? It's not as though he spent years in the hospital, seething over how his best friend ruined his life and stole the woman he loved. RIGHT?
    .
    .
    Moreover, why does Vlad still dislike Jack? Is he just paranoid? And why does he hate ghosts so much? Obviously Vlad had an extreme interest in them when he was young, so why wouldn't he still show that interest? BLA-LARG. .
    .
    Next, why in the WORLD would Jack's ghost form be exactly the same as Vlad's? I'm sure they didn't have the same experiences, since their personalities are different, so I don't see how Jack would end up looking like that. In addition, Jack Plasmius's hair should have been WHITE. It's clear that ghost forms use inverted colors, so that just plain doesn't make sense. .
    .
    To wrap things up, I'll reiterate. This did not make sense! And that's not to say that I didn't try to like it, I really did, but... I just can't wrap my mind around it. -sigh-moreless

    Finally, finally, finally!! Today was the first time ever that I got to see "Masters of all Time". I watched it this morning, at 6am. Crazy, right? Whrng. I thought it was worth my sleeping time! It starts when Danny's parents come into the Nasty Burger and are dressed like the 1980's which was the funniest part. So, Danny had to leave because he was so embarrased and finds Vlad outside. He reveals that he has ecto-acne like before and infects Sam and Tucker with it as well. They go back to Danny's house, where they try to find a cure. Then, Danny realizes the only person who can help him: Clocwork. At first, he refuses to help Danny because he thinks that Danny chnaging the past will destroy his future. Danny convinces him otherwise and goes back into the 1980's. He does this to stop Vlad from ever having ghost powers in the first place. After Danny stops the accident from happening, he returns to the present, only to find his house abandoned and empty. Then, he finds his dad, who, instead, was the one who was infected with the etco-acne. He couldn't find a cure, so he was stuck with his new found power: ghost powers. Danny tries to convince him that he's his son, but he doesn't believe him. Danny searches for the lab, only to find no ghost portal. Then, Jack tells him that he lost the love of his life (like Vlad did in the present)and Danny finds out that his mom and Vlad end up getting married and are in Wisconsin. Danny goes to Wisconsin and Vlad and Maddie find him there. Danny searches for a lab there, as well. It's underground because Vlad wanted Maddie to give up her ghost fighting career, but she couldn't. That's where she finds Danny and traps him. Danny explains everthing to her and Jack comes to back up the story. Vlad finds them down there and attacks, but Jack defends his son by opening the portal and Maddie sent Vlad into the Ghost Zone. Danny went back to Clockwork to change the present again, but he refuses to. That's when Danny realizes that they weren't going to die; they got the acne from the diet cola that Jack accidentally poured into his experimental portal 20 years ago that causad Vlad's accident. The end, is pretty funny, as it ends with Danny and his parents dancing on an 80's disco floor.moreless

  • OMG Go '80s Danny!

    This episode was totally phantastic! I LOVED seeing '80s Danny! He looked soooo awesome in the '80s outfit and surrounded by sparkles! ^_^ The animators are amazing! And the entire ep was all so creative! I had been looking forward to an episode that involved Clockwork again. Time travel rocks! And I can't seem to get this line out of my head: "No. Free. Cheese. Samples!" (That's what happens from seeing an episode too many times!) And I loved the part when Sam thought she was about to die and almost finished her "last" sentence. "When you see Danny...tell him..." I'm SURE she would have said, "...I love him" if he hadn't walked in! Awesome ep! :)moreless

    I loved this episode. It was so creative and very well put together. I've always really liked Vlad as a character and this was a great episode with him in it. Butch and his team did such a great job thinking up te story line and writting the dialague. It was so well thought out and brilliantly done. I loved how Butch portrayed the time Maddie and Jack lived in, making it colorful and fun at the same time. Plus, Disco Danny was so adorable in the dance club. He looked like a little natural. I really adore this episode.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Vlad's hair, in the messed up future, shouldn't be white, since he was never had the accident in the first ghost portal. Jack's, however, should be, although his hair was still the same as it was in the past. Edit
    • This is the second and third time Jack has worn something besides his jumpsuit. The first time was in The Fenton Menace where he was wearing camping clothes. In this one, he wears 80's clothes, and in the messed up future, he wears Vlad's ghost suit. Edit
    • When Maddie and Jack find out that Danny really is their son, Maddie says, "That's why you called me mom at the door." But Maddie never saw Danny transform into Danny Phantom so she shouldn't have known that was Danny Fenton. Edit
  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • It is revealed that Vlad's ecto-acne was not caused by Jack's miscalculations that granted him ghost powers, but because Jack accidentally poured diet cola into the portal generator instead of ecto-purifier (which explains why Danny did not get ecto-acne when he gained his ghost powers). Edit
    • Unlike Vlad, Jack was able to get over losing Maddie and got a cat, much like how Danny suggested Vlad should do in "Maternal Instincts". Edit
    • This is the first time Jack has appeared in a title screen. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • (After Vlad, Sam, and Tucker are cured of their ecto-acne) Jack: Vladdie, you're cured! Vlad: That's great Jack. Now could you please stop pounding on my chest?! Edit
    • Danny: (To Maddie about Sam and Tucker, getting ecto-acne) There has to be something we can do for them? Maddie: (sighs) Oh, I wish I could, Danny. But I still can't identify the ecto-emporities that a causing the lethal acne. Sam and Tucker: Lethal?! Vlad: Ah, live is so unfair. And for you two, growing shorter.. Danny: (angry while grabbing Vlad) I swear, if they find a cure, I'm gonna make you wish they hadn't. Vlad: Oh, good one! I swear I get chills when you get so dramatic. Edit
    • Maddie: (looks at Sam and Tucker) We have an outbreak of ecto-acne. And there's only one place on earth that knows how to treat ecto-acne! Danny: (prays) Please say hospital, please say hospital, please say hospital. (scene changes to the Fenton's house) Danny: Why couldn't she say hospital? Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • College clock: Time The clock in the portal shown before Danny travels back in time has the time of 10:04 on it. 10:04 is the time lightning struck the clocktower in the original Back to the Future movie. Edit
    • Jack: Come on, Maddie. Let's crank up the tunes and moonwalk outta here. Jack refers to moonwalking, a dance move that was made popular by Michael Jackson back in 1983, when he appeared on the television special, Mowtown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever and used it during his "Billie Jean" routine. Edit
    • Danny: Dressed up for 80s night Danny is wearing what was known as the "Don Johnson look" made popular by actor Don Johnson from "Miami Vice". The look consisted of light trousers (usually linen) with a colored shirt and a light colored linen jacket over it with the sleves rolled up. A pastel colored tie was also worn, loose around the neck. Finally, loafers without socks finished the look. Danny only wears the shirt, tie and jacket though, with his jeans and tennis shoes. Edit
