History Recap / DannyPhantomS2E17KindredSpirits

On that note, the second Dani flies away, leaving the original to hammer home once more what he's learned about not taking his friends for granted, since a moral about the sanctity of life and using science responsibly and cautiously wouldn't be strong enough to carry a story without adding a non-sequitur moral randomly pulled from a spin of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wheel of Morality]]. ''*sigh*'' When you watch the episode for yourself, feel free to skip those parts.

* CloningBlues: Life is not pleasant (or long) if you're a disposable clone created by Vlad Masters.

On that note, the second Dani flies away, leaving the original to hammer home once more what he's learned about not taking his friends for granted, since a moral about the sanctity of life and using science responsibly and cautiously wouldn't be strong enough to carry a story without adding a non-sequitor moral randomly pulled from a spin of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wheel of Morality]].

* FictionIsNotFair: Under what circumstances in the non-fictional world would two minors who just happen to be nearby when a place is vandalized beyond what they are obviously physically incapable of, causing them to be automatically forced to repair it or clean it themselves without involving their parents, the law, or witnesses? [[RunningGag Survey says]]: "Never."

Well, the good news is, Danny and his "cousin" are safe, and Vlad's cloning operation is officially done for. The bad news is, the ThreeAmigos are still in trouble for skipping school and wrecking the Specter Speeder. At least, they are at first, until Maddie suddenly forgives them, Lancer decides there's no need to call their parents, and Jack excitedly agrees with him that this is the perfect opportunity to build a newer and better ship. The trio can deduce as easily as the viewers that the adults must have been overshadowed, but by who? The answer flies up to Danny's bedroom window.

* DarkerAndEdgier: This is easily one of the darkest episodes in the series. While it doesn't have the body count WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy does, there are still several deaths and nearly every character has a [[ItsPersonal personal]] stake here. There is a very real sense of desperation from [[BigBad Vlad]], torture of the hero, and some of the most brutal fights in the whole show. By the time this episode ends you will be shocked by how dark it is.

* FightingFromTheInside: Danny when the clone tries to force him to go ghost.

* WeHaveReserves: Vlad's perfectly willing to "watch a hundred more failures devolve into ectoplasm" if necessary to create the perfect clone he wants.

* ThatManIsDead: Dani doesn't adopt her new name (which sounds like her "cousin's) and stop using "Danielle" (which was her "father's" name for her) until after she turns on the latter.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Vlad couldn't care less about what happens to his clones after they've served their purpose (this includes the original, who will be "[[NeverSayDie obsolete]]" once his perfect clone is completed).

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[PlayedForLaughs Hilarious]] inverted. Vlad's Maddie Hologram reveals in her dying moments that she ''[[HiddenDisdainReveal never loved him]]'' and instead loved "the Jack Program", proving that even when Maddie is a computer program designed specifically to love him, Vlad ''still'' has no chance with her.

Several floors above them, Danny emerges in the den of Vlad's mansion in Colorado as he tries to make his escape. He wondering which way he should go next when Danielle flies up and blasts him against the wall. Danny falls to the floor and protects himself with a shield as she shoots another blast at him. Danielle tells him to give up, since he's obviously too weak to fight her. Danny has no desire to fight her anyway: "Every time I fight a clone, they turn to goop." He's right – Danielle looks down and sees a puddle already forming at her feet. She lets the energy blast she was forming fade and stops melting.

Danny fills Sam and Tucker in on his encounter with Danielle the next day at school during lunch. Last he saw her, he hid her in the guest bedroom, but when he went looking for her before school, she was gone again. Not for long – she pokes her head up through their table, in ghost mode, evidently having no qualms about using her powers in public. Danny pulls her aside and warns her she has to be careful about how and when she uses her powers. Danielle turns human but argues that Danny find stuff like that just as fun as she does. Danny still wants to know how she got her powers in the first place when they both sense a ghost. The other students run as a small green bubble zips through the cafeteria. Danielle promises Danny she'll tell him everything after they catch that ghost and runs after it. Danny has no choice but to follow them.

Danielle tearfully asks her father if she's really nothing more than a mistake. Vlad quickly tells his "dearest" that he only meant the other, imperfect clones he created before her, like the one that just tried to overshadow Danny, which now tumbles out of the containment chamber and melts into ectoplasmic goo like the others. Danielle screams at the sight, which claims to find as horrible as she does. He tells her that he needs Daniel's mid-morph DNA to save her, his "greatest creation," from the same fate – without it, he can't stabilize her. He'll need her help, though...
