Previous Episode: Predators and Prey

Next Episode: Plasmius

Danny must protect Sam from his powerful and yet to be defeated foe, Plasmius, but Danny is still no match for Plasmius. As Tucker finally learns the truth behind Vlad Masters, Danny is defeated, and Sam is captured by Plasmius. ​Synopsis Leaving off from the previous episode, Danny transforms and begins another battle with his arch-nemesis, Plasmius, who is for some reason after Sam instead of Danny. Despite improving his strength and power, Danny still seems to be no match for Plasmius, he yells at Sam and Tucker to get inside and activate the defense system, even if it attacks the Phantom. When they run inside Jazz panickly asks where Danny is. As Plasmius duplicates himself, Danny incorrectly attempts to do it himself. Tucker grabs an ecto blaster and heads outside. He blasts Plasmius long enough for Sam to shut down the portal and reactivate it when Danny walks through.

Down in the lab, Sam patches up Danny, while Tucker tries to track down Plasmius, but he's nowhere to be found. While Danny rests, Tucker shows Sam footage of an accident that happened to Vlad, while he was working with Jack and Maddie Fenton.

Danny and Tucker cautiously watch over Sam at school the next day, awaiting for Plasmius to make a move. Valerie approaches Danny and wants to talk about their kiss from the last episode, before Danny had to run off. Suddenly, his ghost sense goes off and he apologizes for having to leave, again. Valerie hears a large smash from the school. Danny runs in, and finds a ghost attacking. Transforming, Danny flies into battle as Tucker watches, and tries to call Sam. After sucking the ghost into the thermus, Danny and Tucker are worried about Sam, before she appears behind them.

Danny tells Tucker to take Sam straight to his house and activate the ghost shield, while he goes to find Vlad. Valerie stops him before he leaves and they talk about their feelings for each other. Danny tells her that his life's been complicated the last few years, and can't explain what's happening. He kisses her before running off.

At Danny's house, Tucker is in the lab and activates the Ghost shield and defenses. Vlad arrives and asks Tucker to come see him. Tucker tells Sam to stay put while he goes to see Vlad.

Danny flies to Vlad's mansion, but he's not there, and accidentally stumbles upon Vlad's secret lab, consisting of a computer system and equipment similar to his parents', including a ghost portal, and a case consisting of a uniform. Realizing Vlad is Plasmius, Danny travels into his portal in order to get home.

Tucker goes outside to see Vlad, who's looking for Danny. Tucker tells him Danny was looking for him and to wait inside and help protect Sam. Vlad insist that Plasmius won't attack and to shut down the defense system. Realizing something wrong, Tucker says he'll be right back, but Vlad notices his reaction and grabs his neck, while transforming into the evil ghost, Plasmius. Sam watching from the security camera, Vlad threatens to kill Tucker if she doesn't shut down the ghost shield. In the lab, Vlad prepares to kill both of them, but the portal opens up and Danny flies through, tackling Plasmius through the walls to outside. After a short battle, Plasmius blasts Danny into the ground and flies back inside. Tucker grabs a blaster and tries to protect Sam, but Plasmius blast the ray gun out of his hand and takes Sam into the Ghost Zone. Danny flies in and promises to get Sam back as he flies after them.
