Now knowing that Vlad is his evil arch-nemesis, Plasmius, who was also turned into half-human and half-ghost by a prototype ghost portal, Danny must push his powers to the limit to find Sam and once again face off against his most powerful foe yet.

​Synopsis
Inside the Fenton lab, Tucker is monitering the Ghost Zone, as Danny flies in through the portal, saying that he lost Plasmius' trail. Hearing Jazz walking downstairs, Danny returns to his human form. She tells him to get ready for school, as Tucker and Danny didn't notice they've been up all night. Suddenly, Sam's parents call Jazz, who says that Sam hasn't returned home.

Meeting Valerie at School, Danny watches as the police search the school. Valerie asks what happened, and Danny tells her that Sam is missing. Suddenly Plasmius storms over the school, and threatens the police, who try to shoot the evil ghost. Danny takes Valerie to safety and mysteriously disappears. Phasing through the bullets, Vlad attempts to blast a cop, but the Phantom flies in and pulls him out of the way, and starts a battle with Plasmius. Fighting around the area, Danny demands to know where Sam is, but Plasmius just taunts him and disappears.

Danny meets with Tucker at the lab to get some gear in order to finally defeat Plasmius and save Sam. Tucker insists on going with him, so Danny shows him something his parents were planning to use to go into the Ghost Zone.

At Vlad's mansion, Vlad returns to his lab, where Sam is locked in a red cage of ecto energy. Sam asks Vlad why he's doing all of this after everything he's done to help Danny, and Vlad replies that he wants what is rightfully his, and explains that in senior year of colleg, Jack Fenton took everything from him; his lifes work and the woman he loved, and blames him for the accident that turned him half-ghost. He explains that when they activated their first prototype Ghost Portal, it malfunctioned and bursted red ecto energy at Maddie. He attempted to save her, but Jack saved her first and Vlad ended up being hit by the beam. Danny flies in and knocks Vlad against the wall. Vlad transforms into Plasmius and the two half-ghosts enage in battle once again, but Danny begins losing. Plasmius prepares to kill Danny, but the Ghost Portal opens and a hover like cruiser flies through and crashes into Vlad. Tucker comes out and holds a blaster to Plasmius. Danny breaks the energy cage and frees Sam. Vlad picks up Tucker and throws him across the room, but Danny catches him and flies at Vlad, and slaps ecto cuffs on Plasmius, shocking him. Vlad struggles to stay standing, as he leans against the computer console. He states that they could've been a powerful, unstoppable team, but Danny says he already has a team. Vlad presses a button and says that if he goes down, so are they. Tucker realizes he's overloading the portal. Danny grabs Sam and Tucker and flies outside. Right as they make it outside, the Mansion explodes.

They return to the Fenton lab, Danny's looking through his parents' old photos and comes across a photo of just the two of them and one with them with Vlad. Sam and Tucker comfort Danny, as he tears vlad out of the picture and vaporizes it with his ghost rays.

The season ends with Danny speaking at his parents' grave about the last year. Danny wakes up and gets ready for School using his powers, heading downstairs and kissing Jazz' cheek and leaves for school. He's started a new relationship with Valerie. Walking down the hallway, Tucker and Sam join Danny's side. His ghost sense goes off, and his eyes glow green as leaves the school. A light flashes from around the corner and the Phantom flies out.
