Danny uses his "overshadowing" power to take control of his Dad during a parent-teacher conference, but the plan backfires when Jack Fenton is invited to chaperone the school dance. At the same time a ghostly amulet turns the girl with whom Danny is smitten into a dragon, and he must alternately control his Dad and fight the ghost dragon!

When Danny sells some of his parents' ghost-hunting junk to make money to buy a cool new outfit, the objects take on a life of their own and go on the attack. Now he must defeat Technus, the Spectral Master of all things technological, without ruining his new duds.

Noticing a change in little bro Danny since the accident in the lab, Jazz mistakes his ghost hunting for depression and signs him up for therapy with Penelope Spectra, not knowing that Spectra is a ghost who feeds off teen misery!
