A Real Boy

When Dr. Doofenshmirtz thinks Vanessa overhears him say he would rather have a son to do his evil bidding, he feels terrible so he intends to zap her with the "Forget-about-it-Inator." Meanwhile, Norm shares his feelings of wanting to be a real boy with Dr. Doofenshmirtz and decides to play up the "son" role. Back at the Flynn-Fletcher household, Candace has Stacy hypnotize her into ignoring the need to bust her brothers so that she can spend the entire afternoon relaxing with Jeremy, but unfortunately the hypnosis trigger words end up playing right into her date with Jeremy.

 * Another time Linda sees what the boys had done, but something erases it out of her memory.
 * This is the first episode, where Candace busts her brothers more than once. (Because her mother forgot it several times.)
 * Doofenshmirtz breaks the 4th Wall by mention that he isn't in a sitcom, then having difficulty not looking at the camera.
 * Phineas and Ferb's invention doesn't disappear in this episode.
 * The trigger-word "Leaping Lizards" to let Candace get back to normal wasn't said again in the episode, so thus far, she should be freed from her obsession of busting her brothers.
 * This may be the possible reason why Candace lost her obsession of busting her brothers during her adulthood.
 * This episode appeared On Demand in the morning of July 15, 2011.
 * Doofenshmirtz has come to think of Perry the Platypus as family.
 * This is the first episode to focus on Norm.

Continuity

 * Candace mentions the events of "Journey to The Center of Candace "
 * After Doofenshmirtz tells Norm that he isn't his father, Norm says "Bu-bu-bu-bu-but..." like Candace did during the song "There is No Candy in Me"


 * During the song, A Real Boy, Norm says that he runs on squirrel-power "Phineas and Ferb-Busters!"

Errors

 * When Norm paints his cloths on, the only colour paint he has is gray even though his cloths are also red and white.
 * When Heinz learned about Vanessa's headphones Vanessa's hair goes down to her shoulders instead of mid-back
 * Buford is not seen in the giant spring despite there being 5 seats and him being shown getting in.
 * When Heinz talk to Perry he miss some of his hair
 * When Norm wakes up and moved his bed a little to the right, then after he accedentally puts a hole in the wall, he moved Doofenshmirtz's picture and the picture looked evil but after he put it there Doofenshmirtz's picture looked like he was smiling.
 * Major Monogram says they aren't allowed to leave O.W.C.A. for lunch, but in Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?, he said they eat lunch at Slushy Burger everyday. Although since his exact words were "going off the lot", this could imply that there is a Slushy Burger within the O.W.C.A. compound.
 * The headphones Vanessa wears are black, but when she gives it to Norm it's white.
 * When Candace runs from Jeremy she has nothing on her wrists, but when she enters the backyard she has a bracelet it the shape of an eye on.
