Synopsis
Danny learns how to "overshadow"- take control of someone- and he uses it to control his Dad during a parent-teacher conference. His plan backfires when his father ends up being invited to chaperone the school dance. At the same time, a ghostly amulet turns the girl whom he has a crush on into a dragon. Danny has to alternately control his Dad and fight the ghost dragon!

Reviews
Parental Bonding
Since this episode has been repeated in 2006, it deserves a new review. I have two favorite scenes: Paulina's reaction when Danny first tells Paulina that the amulet belongs to Sam, and Sam's reaction when Paulina tells Sam about her ulterior motive.
