Vlad concocts a plan to humiliate Danny into hiding by replacing him with a team of ghost-hunters he sponsors. After being humiliated and shown up by Vlad's team several times, Danny uses the Fenton Portal to remove his ghost half and decides to go back to a normal life, to the objection of his friends and Jazz. However, an giant asteroid that was blown out of orbit due to one of Vlad's failed schemes nicknamed the "Disasteroid", hurtles toward Earth, threatening not only Earth, but the Ghost Zone as well. Vlad sabotages the Fenton's plan to destroy the Disasteroid and he reveals his ghost half to the entire world in an attempt to gain world domination, but he fails when he discover the disasteroid is made from an element ghosts can't touch and flees into exile in space. Realizing the mistake he made losing his powers, Danny comes up with a plan to acquire a massive force of ghost energy to turn the Earth intangible so the Disasteroid will harmlessly pass through it. The first attempt to gather the ghosts needed fails and they attack Danny, but their combined ghost energy reawakens Danny's ghost half and he escapes.

Danny goes back into the Ghost Zone to try again to recruit the ghosts to help save the world. After Danny seemingly perishes, Jazz decides to tell her parents Danny's secret. However, Danny is revealed to have survived and convinced the ghosts to save Earth and themselves. Danny's plan works, saving the planet, and Danny reveals his secret to the world and is accepted with great enthusiasm. He gets a statue of his likeness erected in the capital city of every country in his honor and ends up finally dating Sam.
