Summary

When the Fentons are hired to clear out a mansion that's being haunted, Danny recognizes the ghost they're after and takes it upon himself to solve the mystery of their actions without his family knowing. However, when a much darker plot is revealed, it's up to new abilities Danny and Sam harness to save the day, as the lives of the Fenton family is completely changed.

Tropes:

  • Call-Back: Much like in "Secret Weapons" when Danny was accidentally sucked into the Fenton Thermos by Jazz, Tucker has a laugh upon hearing about Danny and Sam getting sucked up by the Ghost Weasel.
  • Continuity Nod: It's revealed that the appearance of Vortex and Nocturne in "Hearts and Minds" was thanks to Vlad freeing them from the Observants' custody.
  • Cold Opening: In the opening scene, Danny and Sam end up fighting a gigantic ghost bee, which results in them being covered in ecto-honey...followed by being stuck in the Fenton Ghost Weasel when Jack tries to clean them up.
  • Internal Reveal: The Fentons finally learn about Danielle's existence. Fortunately, while Jack and Maddie are naturally furious with Vlad for experimenting with Danny's DNA, they hold no ill feeling towards Danielle.
  • Running Gag: Throughout the story, Jack accidentally fires off the Fenton Foamer, spraying a different person each time.
