Episode Storyline
Phineas and Ferb turn their mom Linda's station wagon into a flying car. They also build a huge tower. Candace shows their mom what they did, and Linda gets very upset. Phineas admits they have been doing big projects all summer. The tower then falls down, damaging part of their house. Their parents send the boys to the "Smile Away Reformatory School." They don't know it's a place where kids are brainwashed to stop being creative.
Candace tries to have fun with her friends. But after a few days, she feels bored and sad about getting her brothers in trouble. She realizes she loves her brothers for their amazing ideas. Candace and Jeremy use the flying car to save Phineas and Ferb. They pretend to be a reporter, Morty Williams, and his cameraman. Candace secretly asks her brothers to escape with them.
At the flying car, they see Linda and Lawrence. But the sergeant arrives to take Candace and Jeremy to the school too. Suddenly, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus appear. They manage to get rid of the sergeant. Then, the parents turn into puppets controlled by a giant Baljeet. Baljeet also turns into a puppet, controlled by a talking zebra. Jeremy then asks Candace to marry him.
It turns out this whole adventure was just Candace's dream. She tells her family about it at breakfast. She even accidentally reveals Perry's secret identity as a secret agent. Major Monogram then bursts in with agents from OWCA (Organization Without a Cool Acronym). They plan to move Perry and make the Fletchers and Flynns forget what they saw.
Finally, a whimpering Perry wakes up in Phineas's bed. The entire episode's events were all just a bad dream. Phineas tells him not to worry and to go back to sleep. Both of them then fall back asleep.
