List of Danny Phantom episodes

A month has passed since Danny Fenton's exposure to his parents' Ghost Portal turned him into a human-ghost hybrid. When his goth friend Sam changes the lunch menu to ultra-recycle vegetarian, the vengeful ghost/meat monster of the previous Casper high school lunch lady reanimates to bring meat justice back to the high school. Danny must channel his newfound powers into fighting this ghost while keeping them a secret from everybody except his two best friends.

Up all night fighting the Box Ghost, Danny attracts the attention of a Ghost Hunter named Skulker, who vows to capture Danny Phantom, as he is rare and unique. The next day, Danny receives a D on his biology test, and Sam suggests that he earn extra credit by doing a report on the purple back gorilla. To help Danny manage his time, Tucker puts Danny's schedule into his PDA. In an attempt to capture Danny, Skulker sees Tucker's PDA and uses it to upgrade his armor. His power increases, but he becomes bound to Danny's schedule. Will Danny manage to evade capture by a ghostly villain and save his biology grade?

After the Box Ghost destroys Danny's locker, he is assigned a new one: Locker 724. Everyone is afraid of that locker, but Danny does not know why. Meanwhile, Danny decides to get some "ghostly getback" on the bullies in school. It is later revealed that the former owner of his locker in the 1950s, Sidney Poindexter, was the main bully victim in his time. He punishes Danny for his actions by swapping bodies and dimensions with him, trapping Danny in a mirror world of his high school.

When a little girl's balloon string pulls an ancient mystical lamp to the ground, the lamp breaks and releases Desiree, a wishing ghost who grants every wish she hears but brings chaos with her magic. Thanks to a new ghost power, Danny stops her, but when Tucker's growing envy of Danny's powers drives him to wish for ghostly abilities, Desiree grants his wish. Initially annoyed by Tucker's new abilities, Danny must act quickly when he learns Tucker's envy will transform him into the strongest ghost boy ever. Will Danny reverse Desiree's wish-granting spell before its too late for his best friend?

Jack brings his entire family to Wisconsin for his college reunion hosted by his old friend, Vlad Masters. While it's strange enough that Danny encounters ghosts on his vacation, what he learns about Vlad proves even more surprising: Vlad has hated Jack ever since Jack caused an accident in college— an accident that left him half-ghost, too. He has also tried to steal Maddie, the lost love of his life, away from Jack. After rendering Danny Phantom unconscious in a fight, Vlad sees Danny transform back into Danny Fenton and learns that his enemy's son shares a similar ghostly secret. With 20 years more experience with his ghost powers and motivated by a hatred for Jack, Vlad becomes Danny's archenemy.

Already afraid that his parents might get divorced, Danny accidentally knocks Jack's wedding anniversary gift to Maddie into the Ghost Zone. Determined to get it back, Danny ventures into the Ghost Zone for the first time. However, he is caught by a ghost warden, Walker, who makes up rules to retain order in his section of the Ghost Zone. Sentenced to 1,000 years in the Ghost Zone Prison, Danny is locked up alongside many of his ghostly enemies he has fought and sent back to the Ghost Zone. Luckily, he manages to persuade them to work with him to bust out of the prison. As the other ghosts escape, he returns to the prison cell to retrieve the gift and discovers that humans cannot be hurt by ghosts in the Ghost Zone, because in the Ghost Zone, humans are the ghosts.

However, danger arises when the Fright Knight awakens and terrorizes Amity Park.

Jazz falls for a biker named Johnny 13, and he tries to convince her to go steady with him swiftly. Unbeknownst to her, he is a ghost planning to use her body to contain the spirit of his girlfriend, Kitty.

Meanwhile, Tucker tries to change his image, and ends up being labeled "Bad Luck Tuck," unknowingly being the inadvertent target of Johnny's bad luck Shadow.

When Paulina sees Danny transform into his ghostly alter-ego, he fears that she will tell everyone, but not only does Paulina agree to keep Danny's secret, she becomes his girlfriend!
