Meanwhile, Danny's family is dealing with their own problems as his parents argue over whether or not to sell their struggling ghost-hunting business. At school, Danny realizes that Valerie's hatred of ghosts could put him in danger, and he tries to avoid her at all costs.
But when Danny's arch-nemesis Vlad Plasmius gives Valerie a powerful ghost-hunting suit, she becomes more dangerous than ever before.
