Danny Phantom

This episode's plot is similar to the plot of The Fairly OddParents episode, The Switch Glitch, where the protagonist exacts revenge on one of his tormentors and somebody gets him in trouble for that, believing the protagonist to be what the tormentor usually is.

Sidney Poindexter is the first ghost in the series who is not necessarily evil.

Cable Episode Info: Danny uses his powers for revenge on a bully and triggers the ghost of a kid who was bullied.

It is revealed that if Danny gets angry enough in human form, his eyes will glow green for a second.

To convince his friends that he was the real Danny, Danny (who was in Poindexter's body) told Sam that in second grade, Tucker had thrown up in her lunch box, but lied that a classmate named Ricky Marsh did it. This means that Danny, Sam & Tucker have been friends or been class mates since second grade (or possibly longer).

Poindexter's powers are as follows: 1) The basics (Flight, invisibility, intangibility) 2) Telekinetic control over all school items 3) Green eye beams 4) Body switching, overshadowing 5) Ectoplasmic communication (Probably his power since Danny used it in his body)

Insight Digital Description: Danny invokes the spirit of a nerd to help him fight a bully.

Everything in Poindexter's Spirit World is gray.

This episode can be seen on the "Nick Picks Vol. 2" DVD.

Running Gags: 1) Poindexter using words of his time period that no one in the present understands. 2) A 1950's ghost calling Danny a bully, then Danny trying to protest against it.

Look Hard: At the beginning of the flashback to the 1950's, there is a banner that says "Congratulations Class of '55," meaning the flashback took place during Poindexter's sophomore year.

Sidney Poindexter is the first ghost whose human life history is revealed.

The Box Ghost temporarily became the "Mechanical Frog Ghost" in this episode, but quickly changed his mind.

Tucker reveals that he does not consider himself a nerd in this episode, although in ""13"," it was hinted that he accepted himself as a nerd, but in "Reign Storm," it is confirmed that Tucker thinks of himself as "plenty nerd."

This episode features Casper High's first massive school-wide ghost attack.

The way how The Box Ghost telekinetically raises the box, then pauses to read the label on it, right before he telekinetically throws it at Danny, is the exact same thing he did in "One of a Kind."

Poindexter has never had a friend before.

Apparently, Poindexter is unable to use his ghost powers in his 1950's Spirit World.

Kwan calls Danny (possessed by Poindexter), "Fentonmeister," which is the same thing he called him in the previous episode, "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale."

The Fenton Finder from "Mystery Meat" returns and it now has a display screen to show who the ghost is.

This is the first episode that begins inside Casper High.

Look Hard: On Tucker's PDA, it shows that Sidney Poindexter went to Casper High from 1954 to 1958.

Danny doesn't use his "going ghost" battle cry for the second time. The first time was in "Parental Bonding."

Look Hard: Star (who does not officially debut until "Lucky in Love") makes three cameos in this episode. The first one is at the cafeteria, when the camera focuses on the cafeteria from top-down perspective: Star can be seen sitting at the popular kids table on the upper right of the screen. She is sitting opposite to Kwan and next to Paulina. (This is the first cameo where Star is next to Paulina.) The second cameo is at the cafeteria again, right before Poindexter haunts it. Star is suddenly at a different table on the upper left with three other girls. The third one is when all the kids are running from the school through the front door: Star is at the front of the screaming crowd.

Look Hard: Nathan (who does not officially debut until "Reign Storm") makes three cameos in this episode. The first one was in the crowd of kids looking at Dash, right before Danny comes out of his body: Nathan can be seen in the crowd. The second cameo is at the cafeteria: Nathan can be seen sitting at a table on the middle-left, when the camera focuses on the cafeteria from top-down perspective. The third cameo is again in the cafeteria, right before Poindexter uses his powers to haunt the cafeteria and scare the kids: Nathan is sitting at a different table on the middle left with five other boys.

Danny does not catch a ghost in the Fenton Thermos in this episode.

Opener: Danny, Sam, and Tucker are carrying boxes in school containing dissecting materials and mechanical frogs. Sam wants to use the Assembly to convince people to stop dissecting real frogs and use the mechanical ones. The Box Ghost appears and Sam and Tucker run to the Assembly. The Box Ghost tries to throw knives at Danny, but he phases through. The Box Ghost then knocks Danny through the walls to the backstage of the auditorium, where he changes back. The Box Ghost then buries him with props from the play My Fair Lady and flies away. Sam has the curtain lifted to show a poster about saving the frogs, but everyone sees Danny wearing the clothes and laughs.

It is revealed that Danny can overshadow ghosts as well as humans.

This episode marks the second time that Danny is temporarily popular (however, Poindexter was in his body while he was popular). The first time was in "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale."

It is revealed that there is another ghost dimension besides the Ghost Zone and it is a 1950's replica of Casper High. However, in "Reign Storm," it is hinted that it is indeed part of the Ghost Zone.

It is shown that Danny can fly in human mode but only when he is intangible.

According to Poindexter, Danny is famous in the Ghost Zone.

Introduced Ghost Power(s): Spectral Communication.

Sidney Poindexter and the ghost teens in the Spirit World are the first ghosts shown in the series who do not have green or red eyes.

Danny is known as the "halfa" in Poindexter's 50's world. Half a human, half a ghost.

Title Screen Caption: "It Came From Locker 724!"

Featured Named Invention(s): Ghost Gloves.

Major Ghost Debut(s): Sidney Poindexter - The ghost nerd from locker 724. Danny encounters him because he had to get a new locker and it was indeed Poindexter's haunted locker. Poindexter switched places with Danny's body because he thought Danny was a bully. Sidney Poindexter absolutely cannot stand bullies or bullying, due to the fact that he was bullied a lot during his years in school.
