Plot
Phineas and Ferb rebuild their mother Linda's station wagon as a flying car and build a giant tower. Candace shows Linda, who is furious, and Phineas confesses that they've been doing similar things all summer. The tower collapses, destroying part of the house. The parents send the boys to the "Smile Away Reformatory School", unaware that it is a prison where kids are brainwashed to remove their creativity.
Candace enjoys fun activities with her friends, but after a few days is bored and haunted by the sad consequences of busting Phineas and Ferb, realizing that she loves her brothers for their genius skills. She and Jeremy take the flying car to save her brothers, disguised as reporter Morty Williams and his cameraman. She secretly asks Phineas and Ferb to escape with them.
At the flying car they see Linda and Lawrence, but the sergeant arrives to put Candace and Jeremy in the school as well. Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus knock the sergeant off the cliff to his death. The parents turn into marionettes controlled by a giant Baljeet, who turns into one as well, controlled by a talking zebra, and Jeremy proposes to Candace.
It was all Candace's dream, which she tells her family at breakfast, even revealing Perry's secret identity. Major Monogram bursts in with an army of OWCA (Organization Without a Cool Acronym) agents to relocate Perry and mind-erase the Fletchers and Flynns.
A whimpering Perry wakes up in Phineas's bed, the events of the entire episode having all been just a bad dream. Phineas reassures him, telling him to go back to sleep, which they both do.
