[edit] Episode Summary
Danny goes to the lab basement to ask his father a question. Jack assumes it's for his latest invention, the Sceptor Speeder, a vehicle able to fly smoothly in the Ghost Zone. Shoving Danny inside, Jack shows the inners of the machine until Maddie comes over and politely asks Jack if he remembers their wedding anniversary. Jack doesn't for the 18th year in a row which angers her. Slamming the side of the Specter Speeder, the vehicle takes off with Danny inside as Maddie yells at Jack, neither of them aware of the moving vehicle. Inside the Ghost Zone, Danny encounters Walker who tells Danny that's he trespassing. Leaving him with a warning, Danny drives the Spector Speeder back to his basement where Maddie finishes her argument with Jack and storms off.
Jack begs Maddie to stay, but she angrily tells Jack she has to go her sister Alicia in Arkansas. She also mentions about a divorce to which Danny, who overhears, fears his parents will split up. Jazz calmly gives her opinion saying it's basically the same thing every year with Jack cluelessly not apologizing. Jack proves her wrong by going to Arkansas to apology to her. After Jack leaves, Jazz goes over all her records, bonkers that she is wrong for the first time in her life, all the while as Danny tries to keep the house clean by the time their parents return. An annoyed Jazz heads to the library afterwards leaving Danny to clean up the lab downstairs freely with his powers, accidentally sending an anniversary present to Maddie from Jack into the Ghost Zone.
Jack lands in Arkansas by parachuting off the plane (as there are no airports to land in where he is). Nearby, Alicia counsels her sister Maddie, stating she'd be better off without Jack, viewing him as a crackpot who believes in ghosts. Jack lands nearby the two, snagged in his own parachute which Maddie views as a ghost. Using a fenton gadget, she attacks him, only to find out it was her husband all along.
Danny expresses his concern to his friends at school. The two try to cheer him up, but Danny decides to find the present he accidentally sent in to keep his parents from possibly splitting up by entering the Ghost Zone. Meanwhile, Jack still has yet to apology to Maddie and doesn't get the chance to as he must find a bathroom to do his business.
While Sam and Tucker monitor a webcam to keep an eye on Danny, he enters the Ghost Zone, entering one of the many doors that leads to a ghost's lair. Tucker meanwhile admires the Spector Speeder, later finding the button to dictact real world objects. With that help, Danny enters a doorway where objects from the mortal world dwells, as well as foes Danny has captured and ejected from the Fenton thermos as told by the Box Ghost whom Danny encounters. The Ghost Zone police comes afterwards and arrests both Danny and Box Ghost, taking them to prison where Danny is reunited with previous ghosts he had fought and captured, much to his dismay.
Sam and Tucker decides to go rescue him by taking the Spector Speeder (and to avoid Jazz who wants the two of them to go over every single detail on any mistakes she's made over the course of her life). In prison, Walker sentences Danny to 1000 years as a first offense warning while Jack continues searching for a bathroom (and trying to come up with a way to apologize to Maddie).
In prison, Danny already gets hassled by the ghosts he captured until he thinks of a plan for him and the others to work together to bust out, stating he was responsible for only capturing them, not sending them to prison. Skulker is the first to agree and the rest follow. Danny then reveals his plans while Tucker and Sam still continue their search. Seeing him rely too much on technology, Sam asks Dora the Dragon Ghost for directions, instead she turns into a dragon and gives chase.
Back in prison, Danny and Skulker creates a distraction by fighting each other to get the guard's attention. Afterwards, the two as well as numerous other ghosts all battle the guards, managing to free themselves. Danny however still needs to attend one more matter before escaping. At the same time, Tucker and Sam reach prison with help from the real world detector, finding the building and accidentally phasing through it. Danny faces Walker, struggling to get the present when his friends arrive, stating as long as they're humans, they can phase through the Ghost Zone. With that knowledge, Danny turns human, grabs the present, and heads home, much to a frustrated Walker.
Back in Arkansas, Jack finally manages to apology to Maddie, then he tries to give her his present, but forgets. Danny and Jazz arrive in time however to give it. When he asks if the two are getting a divource, Maddie merely mentions it was all a big misunderstanding, stating she came over to celebrate Alicia's ten year anniversary of her divource. With that issue solved, both Danny and Jazz regain in happiness as their parents chase after the Box Ghost (who had managed to hide himself in the present).
