    The animation where Danny travels into the Ghost Zone for the first time is simply flawless. The animators have perfectly captured the eeriness and Danny's uneasyness about the place.

    The scene where Jazz is freaking out because her father did something totally "not" in her evaluations on him is hilarious. She learns that even an absentminded one-track mind parent can do something completely spontaneous for his loved ones.

    The one thing I don't like in this episode is when Maddie hits the tail of the Spectre Speeder, accidently sending Danny into the Ghost Zone. You'd think the parents would have noticed the vehicle and their son missing.

    I really loved the ending, when Maddie finally opens up her anniversary gift from Jack. His "gift" and their reaction was priceless.

    It was also nice to see a new family member for a change. Alicia, Maddie's sister, was a hoot.moreless

    This episode is okay, but it wasn't my favorite. I don't care too much for Walker, he gets on my nerves (maybe that's why my sister likes him so much, lol). I did like the part when Sam and Tucker traveled into the ghost zone to find and free Danny. I thought it was funny when they were running away from the dragon ghost and then realized they could phase through walls. The part I didn't care for was when Danny agreed to work and fight alongside his enemies to break out of jail. It just wasn't right; there was something wrong with that scene.moreless

  • Great episode. But I hate Walker! (Of course I'm supposed to because he's a villain but I don't know many who like him.)

    This episode was great. It was fairly interesting to see Danny join up with his foes to break out of prison. I mean Walker had no right to put him there. I think he just enjoys doing that. Still wow when I saw this episode I had bitterness towards Walker. And I still do. He's not as bad as Vlad mind you. But he's still a pretty big bad guy with a lot of things I don't think many DP fans like. But this is good I'm very glad they came up with a character like this. One not many would like. It makes the story all the more enjoyable. Top off with the slap sticks comedy. And Danny learning more. Including how the ghost zone works. Also if I remember right this is our first look at it also.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Why would Walker put Skulker in prison but not take away his battlesuit? Edit
    • When Walker was holding Danny up by the front of his shirt, you could see Danny's stomach. But he was wearing the gloves and shoes from his costume, so was he wearing his costume or just the gloves and shoes? Edit
    • When Danny goes into the Ghost Zone by accident in the beginning, he is in human form and was banished by Walker. When he goes back later to the Ghost Zone in ghost form, Walker still recognized him and got mad. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • This is the first time Danny doesn't fight a ghost in the opener. Edit
    • It is never revealed what Jack was going to give Maddie since the Box Ghost came out of it. It is possible that the picture in "Identity Crisis" that Jack had was the present. Edit
    • The energy cuffs that Walker's Guards use are similar to the blasts from Skulker's various guns except they last much longer. Edit

    • The Box Ghost: (To Danny and Jazz) Beware! Jack & Maddie: Ghost! (Jack and Maddie chase The Box Ghost) Jazz: Ah, sweet normalcy. I'll take being right and embarrassed over being wrong every time. Want some rhubarb pie? Danny: Love some. Cletus: I'd stay away from that if I was you. (Winks) Edit
    • (After the breakout) Walker: Guards, what's going on down there?! Somebody answer me! Danny: How about saying 'please'? Saying 'please' is a rule. Walker: (Amazed) It is? (Takes out the rule book and looks through it; Danny slams the book shuts on Walker's fingers) Danny: Is now! Edit
    • Jack: Why, hey there! Pretty young thang! Maddie: Jack Fenton, what on Earth are you doing? Jack: Why sweet talking you, proving that I can step away from work and concentrate more on our relationship! Now let's see here... (Takes out piece of paper and clears his throat) You have a smile that shines like swamp gas in the moonlight! (Turns around to see the country guys giving him a thumbs up) Your eyes twinkle like the bumper of my pick-em-up truck! And... and... oh, this is stupid! Edit
