Danny Phantom

Title Picture: The Groovy Gang, the Extreme Ghostbreakers, and the Guys In White all pointing their weapons upward at Danny.

The name of the episode is for the fact that Vlad puts a million-dollar bounty on Danny, and Danny is a ghost.

Cable Episode Info: Vlad Masters steals Jack Fenton's portal and creates a distraction by offering a bounty to eliminate Danny.

Apparently, Jack thought he was the only one with a ghost portal until now.

When Plasmius duplicates himself, he does so differently than in "Bitter Reunions."

Major Ghost debut(s): Behemoth. A giant red 4-armed monster whose job is to guard the Skelton Key. Possesses tremendous strenght and can breath massive blasts of fire.

This marks the first time the vultures do something useful: trapping Jazz and Maddie in the weapons vault.

Apparently, Vlad must have at some point got rid of the Specter Deflector that was on him in "Maternal Instinct," since he is no longer wearing it.

This is the first episode in which Danny doesn't use an ectoplasmic blast since he learned it in "What You Want."

Everybody in this episode was calling Jack incompetent and ironically, in "Public Enemies," Walker, overshadowing the mayor, was calling Jack completely competent, though it was just a trick.

The new and improved Fenton Ghost Weasel is capable of cramming a large ghost in a small cubic container.

Jack's laptop has the Fenton logo on it, meaning it must be one of his own inventions.

It is revealed that when Danny is in ghost mode, he can stop himself from changing back into Danny Fenton in mid-transformation.

Vlad's vultures reveal that ghosts find the word "ghosts" to be insensitive and prefer the word, "Ecto-Americans."

The border around Vlad's ghost portal was a pentagon, while the border around the Fenton Portal is a hexagon.

Apparently, Jack has mastered using the Fenton Peeler (since he was unable to walk in it in "My Brother's Keeper") and it is revealed that it can peel human clothing as well as ghost bodies and that there is an eject button that ejects ectoplasmic goo.

It is revealed that it is Danny's responsibility to clean the lab.

The Nasty Burger must have repaired the drive thru "Nasty Ned" head, since Danny destroyed it in the previous episode, "Life Lessons," but it's here and okay in this episode (however, Jack destroys it again).

Apparently, Vlad has another pair of the "Ghost Goggles" that Valerie had in "Life Lessons."

Look Hard: In the scene where the ghost alarms go off, Nathan (who officially debuts in "Reign Storm") can be seen on the left, although his head is not shown onscreen.

This is the second time that Jazz drives Danny to school. The first time was in "Mystery Meat."

This is the second time that Jazz has been made intangible by a ghost, the first time was by Danny in "My Brother's Keeper."

The title of the episode is said in this episode.

Jack describes the feeling of being made intangible as "my tummy feels funny."

This is the third episode to begin in the Ghost Zone. The first was in "Fanning the Flames" and the second was in "Public Enemies."

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

Apparently, Maddie or Jack must have repaired or made a new Fenton Ghost Weasel, since it exploded and was broken in "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale."

Jack's desire to spar with a ghost "mano a ghostso" with the Ghost Gloves (which was first mentioned in "Splitting Images") is fulfilled when he uses them to defeat Vlad Plasmius.

Opener: Vlad is in the Ghost Zone getting the Skeleton Key. Unfortunately for him, a Behemoth stops him. Because he forgot to change the ecto-filtrator, Vlad's portal blows up. He comes up with a new plan to obtain the Skeleton Key -- using the Fenton portal.

Vlad's Wisconsin castle is destroyed.

Apparently, Danny still shirks from his chores, which was mentioned in "Bitter Reunions," in which Vlad was coincidentally also the main villain.

References to "Bitter Reunions" and "Public Enemies" were made in this episode.

Dash and Paulina are absent in this episode.

Scaredy Cat looks a lot like Felos from one of Butch Hartman's other projects, Crash Nebula.

Tucker and Sam were, once again, minor characters and do not meet or even see Vlad. (This also happened in "Bitter Reunions" & "Maternal Instinct," the only other two episodes where Vlad was a major character.)

Vlad's vultures return, revealing to be 2008 years old.

If you don't count Danny appearing in Vlad's picture, this is the first episode that Danny doesn't appear in before the opening theme song.

Plasmius is known by Jack as the Wisconsin Ghost.

We learn that all ghost portals have ecto-filtrators that must be changed every six months (or the portal will explode).

The tune in the end credits is the tune of the original theme song.

End credits are seen in this episode, the first time in the series.

Casper High is now running "ghost drills" and has installed ghost-detecting alarms.

Mr. Lancer wears pink boxers with Shakespeare's head all over them.

Apparently, the Fenton Ghost Fisher is not as strong as it appeared to be in "Parental Bonding." In that episode, it was stated that the weapon was inescapable to ghosts, but when Jack used it on Plasmius, Vlad easily broke free from it (however, Vlad is only half-ghost, so it could affect him differently).

The Fenton Peeler from "My Brother's Keeper," the Fenton RV from "Bitter Reunions" (later seen in "Public Enemies"), the Fenton Ghost Fisher from "Parental Bonding" (later seen in "Shades of Gray" and "Public Enemies"), the Fenton Weasel from "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale," the Jack-A-Nine-Tails from "Maternal Instinct," and the Fenton Ghost Gloves from "Splitting Images" all return (in that order).

Harriet Chin (from "Bitter Reunions") has a new job as an anchorwoman (she is the one giving the news report about the hunt for Danny in the beginning).

Apparently, the Fenton RV has been repaired or a new one was created since it was destroyed in "Public Enemies." Jack drives it in one scene.

Vlad gains the Skeleton Key, which gives the user the power to open any door, travel any realm, and free any prisoner.

It is revealed that the Fentons have a weapons vault.

Jazz once again hints that she knows Danny is a ghost.

Running Gags: 1) Danny and Jazz finding it cool to call Jack by his first name. 2) The male Extreme Ghostbreaker calling the female Ghostbreaker "dude" or "man" and she tells him that she's a girl. 3) Scaredy Cat freaking out whenever Danny Phantom says "boo" and accidentally hurting humans with his claws. 4) The Extreme Ghostbreakers screaming the word, "Extreme." 5) Vlad using some kind of food-related exclamation instead of swearing.

Title Screen Caption: "It's Worth Every Penny!"

No new named Fenton inventions were introduced in this episode.
