9	Now that Danny knows that Jazz knows his secret, she tries taking a more active role in Team Phantom. Not very successfully. Her greatest achievement is managing to somehow trap Danny in his own thermos 3 times in 1 night. When Danny finally snaps and tells her to stay out of his life, she decides to prove she ''can'' help him by figuring out what Vlad's latest scheme is... which leads to Vlad throwing the two siblings in a gladiator-style arena.

11	----
12	!This episode provides examples of:
13
14	* BrainBleach: Jazz's reaction to finding pictures of her mother on Vlad's computer.
15	-->'''Jazz:''' Oh, gross! I will never be able to unsee this!
16	* CannotSpitItOut: Danny spends the first half of the episode being unable to tell Jazz that he doesn’t want her help. First he tries but is interrupted by their parents, then after that he stops trying and just avoids her (even hiding from her in the janitor's closet). This results in him bottling up his emotions until Jazz breaks into his computer to get notes on the ghosts he fights to “help”. [[RageBreakingPoint Causing him to snap at Jazz]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone with extremely hurtful words and send his sister off crying.]]
17	* ChekhovsGun: The Ecto-Skeleton Vlad stole in "Reign Storm" returns.
18	* CompressedVice: The conflict of the episode relies on Jazz being a completely incompetent ghost hunter, despite multiple previous episodes ("My Brother's Keeper", "The Ultimate Enemy", and especially "Maternal Instincts") demonstrating her prowess at fighting ghosts. She may have been trying too hard since she ''wants'' to be involved.
19	* FakeDefector: This is Jazz's plan for figuring out what Vlad is up to. Judging by his sarcastic, suspicious attitude throughout the episode, she wasn't fooling anyone.
20	* FridgeHorror: Vlad injects Jazz with nanobots that he can activate to kill her. At least one famous fan fic has run with the plot point that, while we see Danny get the remote control away from him, we never see them get rid of the nanobots themselves. What if Jazz still has them inside her? What if there are other ways to control them...?
21	* GarbageHideout Danny hid himself in a trash can in the janitor's closet in order to get away from Jazz. It fails because Danny realized Jazz hacked into his ghost files and revealed himself. Unfortunately, this leads to [[RageBreakingPoint Danny exploding]] on Jazz.
22	-->'''Danny:''' Hide me! [''Dives into a trash can and pokes his head out. Jazz enters the janitor's closet and shows Sam and Tucker what is on screen. Danny ducks back into the trash can.'']\
23	'''Jazz:''' Cool secret meeting place. So I've pieced it all together. Ghost X is clearly using the technology he stole to build some kind of [''Danny pops his head up again.''] super weapon. So, I compiled a list of his known associates.\
24	'''Danny:''' [''Stands up in the trash can.''] Wait. Where'd you get this?
25	* GiverOfLameNames: Jazz comes up with some not so creative names for the ghosts. Ghost X for Skulker, Lunchabelle for the Lunch Lady, Friendly Fiend for Klemper and Crate Creep for the Box Ghost.
26	* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Vlad tests Jazz's loyalty by having her fight her brother.
27	* JerkassHasAPoint: Trying to help or not, it’s understandable that Danny would snap at Jazz after she hacked his personal laptop without asking.
28	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Jazz's characterization in this episode, paying no attention to anything that Danny knows about the ghosts that he's fought and doing nothing but get in the way.
29	* LovableCoward: At one point Danny hides in the janitor's closet, then dives into a trash can, because he can’t talk to Jazz about her causing him issues.
30	* MisplacedRetribution: Exploited by Danny. He knocks Dash's books out of his hands and then immediately says that Tucker did it, so Dash [[StuffedIntoALocker stuffs Tucker in a locker]] without question. When Tucker continues to mock Danny afterwards, Danny does the same thing to Kwan, who with the same results.
31	* MrsHypothetical: Danny's computer password is "Paulina Fenton."
32	* NotNowKiddo: In a BrickJoke way. Jazz angrily asks Danny, "How come you never told me Vlad Masters has ghost powers? ''And'' he has a thing for Mom?" In fact, Danny ''did'' tell her the second part the first day they met Vlad in "Bitter Reunions," and she didn't care.
33	-->'''Danny:''' Is he hitting on Mom?\
34	'''Jazz:''' As long as he's got working toilets and Mom says "No," who cares?
35	* TheNotSecret: Vlad thinks his identity as Plasmius will be a big shock to Jazz, only to find out she already knew.
36	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Danny is almost insulted that Skulker seems to be ignoring him and doesn't even call him a whelp.
37	* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish:
38	-->'''Danny:''' ''(to Jazz)'' You hacked into my private ghost files?! How'd you get the password?\
39	'''Jazz, Tucker, and Sam:''' [[DeadpanSnarker It's "Paulina Fenton."]]
40	* TheReveal: Vlad learns that Jazz knows Danny's secret.
41	* SeriousBusiness: This moment when Danny attacks Skulker in the Ghost Zone in search of his missing sister:
42	-->'''Skulker:''' ''[To Danny]'' That's odd. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness No witty banter?]]\
43	'''Danny:''' Not in the mood. [[BigBrotherInstinct All I wanna know is what you've done with Jazz!]]
44	* ShakingTheRump: done by Maddie at the end after beating Jack at checkers and since she has HartmanHips the Fanservice is doubled.
45	* ShoutOut: Vlad must be a ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fan -- not only are the bloodstream nanobots identical to the probes Slade used in the Season 1 finale [[Recap/TeenTitansS1E12ApprenticePartOne "Apprentice"]], but he puts them to the exact same use. Good thing Danny gets the remote control out of his hands before he can take it as far as Slade did!
46	* StereoFibbing:
47	-->'''Vlad:''' You two know each other?\
48	'''Danny/Jazz:''' Yes/No. No/Yes. Sorta...
49	* StuffedIntoALocker: When Tucker makes fun of Danny for being stuffed into the Fenton Thermos for hours, Danny gets Dash and Kwan to do this to Tucker as payback.
50	* UnwantedAssistance: The episode's premise.
51	-->'''Jazz:''' Danny, calm down.\
52	'''Danny:''' Calm down?! How can I calm down with you constantly butting your nose where it doesn't belong?\
53	'''Jazz:''' I was just trying to help.\
54	'''Danny:''' Nobody asked you to help! You're a lousy ghost hunter, an overbearing sister, and an annoying, obnoxious know-it-all with no respect for her brother's privacy, so STOP! HELPING!
55	* WhatTheHellHero: After some students eavesdrop on Danny yelling at Jazz and see her run out crying, while they don't say anything to him, you can clearly tell that's what they're thinking by their scowls at Danny for making Jazz cry.
