Kitty, Ember, and Spectra are sick of the ghost-men in their lives, and they're going to do something about it by making all the men of Amity Park disappear. Except Danny and Jack are on a fishing trip!
Tropes found in this episode:
- Call-Back:
- While all the men are disappearing, during a news report, there is a picture of a cartoon cat that looks very much like Sayonara Pussycat from the episode "What You Want."
- This is the second time Danny suggests that one of his foes get a "lonely-guy cat" since "Maternal Instinct".
- In the opening scene, Shadow flings Danny into a billboard that shows Vlad Masters is now the Mayor, which came to be in "Eye for an Eye."
- Covers Always Lie: Danny doesn't even know about the main plot's events let alone fight Kitty, Ember, and Spectra like in the title card.
- A Day in the Limelight: The episode mainly focuses on the girls of Team Phantom: Sam, Jazz, and Maddie.
- Epic Fail: Sam's plan was to split up and take every ghost diva when they're less suspect. They caught no one (the divas didn't even suspect anything) and experienced a Humiliation Conga: Sam got beat down by hypnotized champion Helga (who also eats her Fenton Thermos), Jazz got humiliated and literally trashed, and Maddie was humiliated during a live TV broadcast.
- Everyone Can See It: Both Johnny 13 and Jack thought Danny and Sam were a couple.
- Girl's Night Out Episode: As the title suggests, this episode focuses on the female characters. The three main villains of the episode are Kitty, Ember, and Spectra, who are fought by Sam, Jazz, and Maddie. Tucker spends most of the episode disappeared thanks to Kitty's power, and Danny and Jack are on a fishing trip.
- Heroes Gone Fishing: Danny and Jack are left completely out of the main plot since they're on a fishing trip, though they don't have a chance to relax much since Skulker keeps tormenting them.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Jazz pretends to be one of Ember’s backup singers. However, her singing is so bad that the audience boos her and throws trash her.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: In her previous appearances, Kitty was immoral, but not entirely evil. In this episode, however, she's a full-on villain (just like Ember and Spectra) who's okay with wiping out half of the population of Amity Park and keeping the other half brainwashed under a spell for their entertainment.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Not Danny this time. The plot of this episode is the result of Kitty utilizing a previously unmentioned ability to blow kisses that cause men to disappear, something which surprises Ember and Spectra.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Skulker mounts a reptilian monster during the climax of Danny and Jack's plot.
- Plan B Resolution: Once Jazz, Sam, and Maddie figure out that Kitty, Ember, and Spectra made the men disappear and intend to keep the women brainwashed, Jazz comes up with a plan to take them out, which Sam immediately dismisses as dumb and doesn't even allow Jazz to discuss it. As the girls are about to fight, Maddie allows Sam to voice her plan, which consists of them splitting up and taking down the ghosts individually. Sam's plan ended in failure as: Maddie got humiliated on live tv when Spectra brough Sam's mother on stage, who apparently insulted Maddie's cooking skills; Sam got beat up by a female drill sergeant hired by Kitty to toughen up some women; and Jazz got pelted with trash due to her horrible singing when she infiltrated Ember's band. When Maddie allowed Jazz to voice her plan, the three ghosts are defeated and the men are brought back to existence.
- Race Against the Clock: If any man Kitty makes disappear with her kiss isn’t brought back in 12 hours, they’re gone forever. Jazz, Maddie and Sam have to find a way to reverse it to bring back all the men in Amity Park before time runs out.
- Straw Feminist: Kitty, Ember, and Spectra's plan is make every male disappear permanently due to having troubles with their boyfriends Johnny 13, Skulker, and Bertrand. Spectra even goes as far as to make "wo-manicotti" on a cooking show.
- Sweet Polly Oliver: One of the rare occasions where it’s Played for Laughs. Sam dresses up in Danny’s clothes and styles her hair like his to make Kitty, Spectra, and Ember believe they somehow missed a boy with Kitty’s initial kiss. It’s a ploy to bring all the men back.
- Super Not-Drowning Skills: When in his ghost form, Danny is able to swim underwater without needing to breathe.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Johnny 13 disappears along with all the men of Amity Park thanks to Kitty's amplified kiss. However, after the kiss is reversed and all the men are brought back, Johnny 13 is not seen reappearing (though he obviously returned as well, since he's seen again in "Livin' Large" and "Phantom Planet").
