Wizard of Odd

Episode Summary
Candace is bored in her room. Mom suggests helping clean the house, or at the very least, read. Candace chooses to read the book Mom gave her: the Wizard of Oz. pop in the window, asking if she wanted to join them, and recommend that she wears waterproof underwear. Phineas has set the house to spin around while he and the others spray it with a water hose. Candace, reaching the part where the tornado hits, gets trapped in the house, sprayed by the hose and passes out. When she comes to, she finds Perry lying on her, and the house has landed in Patch-kin land, inhabited by patchkins who bear a strong resemblance to the Fireside Girls. They also tell her that she squished the evil witch Suzy (although she's still alive, just trapped underneath). Isabella the good witch comes down, floating in a giant eyeball. She gives Candace Suzy's Red Rubber Boots instead of letting Doofenshmirtz the evil witch warlock get them. Candace blames Phineas and Ferb, and asks Isabella how to bust them. She suggests following the Yellow Sidewalk, in song form.

Down the road, Perry and Candace run into Baljeet, hanging as a "nerd"-crow. When she mentions she is going to see the Wizard of Bustopolis, he gets excited and expresses his own wish, to be cool, also in song form. Candace cuts him off part-way, reluctantly dragging him along. Over the next hill, Phineas and Ferb suggest a more fun way to Bustopolis: unicorns through a sugary-treat wonderland! Candace turns them down, insisting on staying with the yellow-brick road.

Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz the witch traps Perry in agent mode in a web. He wants Candace's red boots, and sends flying squirrels to capture her. Sadly, they don't fly very fast. He has his pet monkey-spider (or spider-monkey) guard Perry while hie plots.

Over the next ridge, Candace finds a rusted tin lumberjack. Saying she remembers this, she initially looks for an oilcan, but gives up as soon as she learns that Jeremy is a tree here. She shamelessly flirts with him, asking what his wish is and allowing him to come along. Baljeet gets upset that Jeremy can sing a song but not him, but Candace shushes him. Phineas and Ferb show up again, presenting the split paths of the yellow-brick road into a terrifying beast-bog with slime-breath, or skating down an ice-cream canyon. Despite Jeremy and Baljeet's insistance, Candace sticks to the road.

In the forest, it's dark and spooky. Candace gets scared when a Stacy-owl hoots, and Buford appears, some weird lion-tiger-bear pastiche. Stunned by his appearance, Candace is initially willing to just walk by him, but she asks him his wish. Buford insists he wants nothing, but follows anyway. Phineas offers one more split from the bog, down a bouncy blue sidewalk, but Candace sticks stubbornly to her choice. Shortly after this, the squad of squirrels arrive and attack the foursome.
