[edit] Episode Summary
Rows of Observants fill up a giant courtroom as they sentence the weather ghost Vortex on his constant destruction of Earth with his malevolent powers. Vortex tries all means to escape, but due to their barometer placed on him, the Observants are able to take control of his powers, rendering him useless. Vlad (in disguise as one of the Observants’ guards) comes out unexpectedly, defeating the large number of Observants before ultimately freeing him. He asks for his help which Vortex declines (serving only himself) until Vlad, using the barometer controls him to do his bidding to give rain to Amity Park in exchange for total control over Earth with his weather powers.
Back in Amity Park, the citizens are suffering a heat wave, one that causes Danny to be exceptionally moody. Tucker takes this time to introduce a mood helmet he built, using Danny as his guinea pig, showcasing random images from the visor depending on their emotional reaction displayed by a mood meter located on the helmet. Vlad later appears to the public with the barometer, calling it a rain machine to cure the drought, causing rain over the city, much to the happiness of the citizens. However, Vlad's attempt to get Vortex to cease the rain fails when he refuses to let go of "his art". Vlad retaliates with the barometer to get him to obey, but it ricochets off him and his cat and directs it back to the barometer, destroying it and giving Vortex free control of his powers. With it, he quickly begins to wreck havoc on Amity Park, Vlad having failed to stop him.
Desperate, Vlad flies over to Danny's house and begs for his help. Danny agrees despite their animonsity and the two head off to Vortex. Immediately Vlad leaves Danny to handle the battle himself to which he struggles to, ultimately getting struck by lightning and smacked away, leaving Vortex to fly off to cause weather damage to other parts of the world. When Sam and Tucker free Danny from the wreckage, the two and Vlad immediately suspect Danny of the sudden case of weather changes every time he's mood shifts.
Vlad orders Tucker and Sam to find Vortex to fix this mess (he stays behind due to his position as mayor) while he handles satisfying Danny in any possible way, serving him and the like. Tucker and Sam via the Fenton Blimp (later Fenton Jet plane) checks the Atmosphere channel to discover Vortex is heading towards Venice, Italy. There, the two use manage to lure Vortex to Amity Park by stating it's the only city he has yet to target.
Back in Amity Park, Vlad dumps Danny towards Vortex upon his return. Again, the two engage in heated battle. Danny dons Tucker's mood helmet afterwards and connects himself to the Fenton Jet plane to emphasize the moods he swings through, using that to control the weather he created against Vortex. When he is successfully downsized, Danny (with help from Sam and the Fenton Jetplane) defeats Vortex and sends him back to the Ghost Zone.
Vlad later makes an announcement to the public, blaming the entire mess on Danny Phantom, something Danny is peeved off. Tucker then makes a joke which neither Sam nor Danny finds hilarious. They walk off, leaving Tucker to put on his mood helmet, showcasing his fantasy of his friends laughing at his jokes.
