    Yeah, so Danny is getting kinda jealous of Tucker becuase Desiree is a new ghost and is granting wishes to everyone! Tucker wishes that he has ghost powers becuase he always gets the "short end of the stick" when it comes to Danny and his ghost fighting! Also, I thought it was very funny when they fought inside Paulina! hehe!! That was pretty funny! She looked really funny becuase she was yelling in two different voices, like she was having a conversation with herself!! Oh and I also like Danny's line, "Yeah, because crashing into the 29th floor of ANYTHING is bad!!" Wow, that was totally great!:Dmoreless

    This isn't my favorite episode, but it was still pretty good. In this episode, we learn about the close relationship between Danny and Tucker and how they had always shared everything; except Danny's ghost powers. Tucker is envious of Danny's ghost powers, so he wishes that he had them. His wish is granted by Dezerra, the wishing ghost, but his ghost powers are a lot different than Danny's, maybe even deadly. My favorite parts of this episode would have to be when Tucker is stuck watching a girl's movie while Danny is off fighting ghosts and when Tucker is using his powers for his benefit.moreless

    In the opener, Desiree asks Danny\\\'s heart\\\'s desire, he replies \\\"None of your buisness.\\\" When she goes to touch him, he tells her to get away. It seems like Danny did have a certian, big wish but didnt want Desiree to know it (due to the fact that she\\\'s a ghost) What is Danny\\\'s heart\\\'s desire at that point?

    • Look Hard: When Danny is in the lab and he looks over at the Ghost Catcher, the ghostly glow on his foot is missing. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Apparently, Tucker is as good in sewing class as he is with computers. Edit
    • Desiree is the second ghost whose human life is revealed, the first was Poindexter in the previous episode, "Splitting Images". Edit
    • The name of this episode must come from Desiree granting wishes and giving people "what they want." Apparently, she also grants wishes when someone says "I want" and not just "I wish." Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Desiree: No man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it! Danny: Ya How 'bout a fist? Edit
    • Tucker: (Narrating) Tucker Foley. Digital journal: Saturday. They say be careful what you wish for. To that, I'd like to add a big fat 'duh,' especially when it comes to best friends, 'cause I couldn't wish for a better one. (Tucker and Danny sneeze simultaneously) Sam: (Bringing Danny & Tucker hot soup) Geez, do you guys have to share everything? Danny: You don't know the half of it. (Danny & Tucker smile at each other) Edit
    • (After the football game; Tucker is hanging upside down in the mascot suit) Tucker: Oh, man. Every time Danny goes ghost, I get the short end of the stick. Jock #1: Hey, look guys, a raven piñata! Jock #2: Let's beat it until the candy comes out! (Takes out sticks; Tucker looks mortified) Edit

    • Surfer Dude: Car The car that the surfer was driving was a Volkswagen Beetle. Edit
    • Danny & Tucker: Fighting Scene The scene in the science classroom where Tucker shoots ecto-blasts at Danny followed by Danny dodging each of them in slow motion seems to be taken from The Matrix. Edit
    • Tucker: (To Danny) Yeah, what's the dizzle, Fizzle? Tucker's language by using words like, "dizzle" and "fizzle" is a form of slang invented by Frankie Smith in his 1982 single, "The Duble-Dutch Bus." In the song, he placed "izs" in the middle of word (thus making the word, "phantom," "phanizstom") and used the word, "izzle" to replace the last letters of a word (thus making "Fenton," "Fizzle" and "deal," "dizzle"). This style of slang has been popularized by hip-hoppers and rappers, most notably Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Missy Elliot. Edit
