Episode Summary
can't make up their mind which to make a submarine or a shrinking ray that Linda commented to have such imagination, Candace eating her careals until Jeremy calls her and asking her out that makes her call Stacy and Jenny screaming with excitement. Isabella came along with Pinky and all her sash accomplishment patches that Pinky suddenly ate the sash. Ferb shows Phineas their plans that decide to create a shrinking submarine and try to retrieve Isabella's sash from Pinky's stomach. And since Pinky will eat any thing but dog food, they make a grilled cheese sandwich. But, Pinky runs off to chase a cat and Candace accidentally eats it with her siblings in the Mini-sub in it. To try to get out, they use Candace's body nerves to hang upside-down on a nearby playground's monkey bars so Candace will spit them out. But then, Candace takes control and gets off the bars.

Meanwhile, Perry is entering Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Vacuum Cleaner Factory and they both decide to "Mix it up a little". So Doofenshmirtz tells Agent P his plan before he captures him. He creates the "Make-up-your-mind-inator" to destroy people who can't make up their mind. Then, Perry remembers that at breakfast, Phineas and Ferb said they couldn't make up their minds about they were going to do that day. Perry then cuffs Doofenshmirtz to nearby pipe, and then calls Major Monogram to come capture him. While they are waiting, Doofenshmirtz tricks Perry by saying there is pocket chess in one of two nearby handbags, but there is actually a self-attaching belt that sticks itself to any surface.Then, Dr. Doofenshmirtz frees himself and uses a demonstration of what just happened to Perry and unententionally traps himself.

Phineas and Ferb, inside Candace, are heading to Jeremy's Uncle's sandwich shop. They start making Candace cough so they will be coughed out. Jeremy goes to get water, and they get coughed out and return to normal size. Then, Isabella returns with her sash, Pinky had spit it out.

Then Perry and Doofenshmrirtz chase on the rooftop, Perry frees himself from the belt, and then kicks Doofenshmirtz off the building and he falls into the sub, his shoulder hitting the shrink button, and the sub falling into the grilled cheese Jeremy brings and named after Candace. But then, Pinky eats the sandwich, trapping Doofenshmirtz inside him.
