Jake's first day at school ever since he was exposed as Shadow is being so far a living nightmare. Friends apart, the only students not to show any hatred against him are the ones afraid to show it.
"Why do they still let him get here?" A student asks. "He belongs in the Ghost Zone."
"I'm a half-ghost just like him." Abby replies. "How come you guys accept me but not accept my brother?"
"Look who's talking." A second student says. "You used to think Shadow was evil before you discovered he was your brother all the time."
"That was because I was prejudiced against full ghosts and believed Shadow to be one of them." Abby says with a little bit of remorse.
Suddenly Jake's and Abby's ghost senses go off.
"We gotta go. We're going ghost." They say and then they turn into their ghost selves.
Abby and Shadow find the ghost who triggered their ghost senses.
"I am the Box Ghost." The ghost says. "Master of all things cardboarded and square."
Shadow and Abby must join his forces to defeat the Box Ghost since he's now the ghost Danny met in the alternative dystopia Dark Danny came from. After the Box Ghost is sucked in the classic Fenton Thermos the students show different reactions.
"OK. Perhaps Shadow isn't that evil." The first student admits.
"Are you insane?" A third student asks. "Shadow probably rounded up this ghost to boost his image."
"Had I not known Shadow is my brother or any other half-ghost I would probably be the first one to make this hypothesis but now that the truth is no longer a secret how can you presume such thing?" Abby asks with a bit of shame and anger.
"Fine, he's your brother." The third student says, rather annoyed. "But how did it change your judgement?"
"Before I knew the truth I thought Shadow was a full ghost and I don't trust full ghosts." Abby explains.
"And what about the ones your Dad considers good?" The third student asks.
"They stay in the Ghost Zone where they belong so they're no trouble." Abby explains her judgement on ghosts.
After the day, the school council rules that Jake is allowed to keep attending school but he has other plans.
"Jake, are you sure you want to do it?" A worried Danny asks.
"Yes, Dad." Jake answers, a little sad about the decision he feels he has to make. "Don't take it the wrong way but I still have my doubts about being safe to stay in the same town my sister and my grandparents live after their trick. I find it hard to believe they're really trusting me now."
"Don't worry, Danny. I'll take care of your son. Goodbye everyone." Dani says with her usual joy.
They all say goodbye to Jake, specially Matt. Dani always travels a lot (DPcrazy added this feature in 'Adventures after a Mistake') so there was no problem in taking Jake with her.
"Sorry if I caused all that mistrust, Dad. I already miss my brother. I was already liking the idea of having him for an ally." Abby says, sad and regretful.
"Don't worry, Abby. Jake will eventually overcome his mistrust and rejoin us. We just have to wait." Danny says, actually believing that.
