Hey, where's Perry?
None.

Perry's Entrance to Lair
In this episode, there is no subplot with Perry, and because of this, Perry isn't shown entering his lair, or getting his brief mission from Major Monogram. However, Perry is later shown doing his job.

Candace's dream was technically Perry's Dream, as shown in the part after she wakes up and turns into the scene explained below.

Perry's Dream
Perry's dream was about Phineas and Ferb getting busted. At the end, Candace tells her family that Perry was wearing a hat, just like a secret agent. Ferb wonders if that's where he disappears to every day. At that moment, an O.W.C.A. S.W.A.T. team rushes inside their house and kidnap the Flynn-Fletcher family. Major Monogram then walks in and tells Perry that his cover's been blown and he'll have to relocate. Perry then wakes up and realizes it was all a dream.

 * Phineas Flynn
 * Ferb Fletcher
 * Candace Flynn
 * Linda Flynn


 * Lawrence Fletcher
 * Himself
 * Major Monogram
 * SS SN

Background Information

 * Isabella and Buford are absent in this episode. Technically though, the only characters to appear in real life are Perry and Phineas. It is also the first 2-part episode without Isabella.
 * This was the first episode that shows how Phineas, Ferb, and Candace met, but as a dream sequence, cannot be considered official. Also, the episode in general is non-canon.
 * Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram only make cameos in this episode.
 * This is the biggest role for Jeremy yet.
 * Perry appears three times in this episode.
 * This episode marks the third time Phineas, Ferb and Candace see Perry wearing his hat although it was just a dream. ("Toy to the World" (Phineas and Ferb), "The Ballad of Badbeard" (Candace)
 * This is the only episode (until "Isabella and the Temple of Sap") that does not contain an Agent P sub-plot.


 * However, Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz show up on a giant robot near the end of the episode, implying that an Agent P sub-plot was happening while Candace was trying to save Phineas and Ferb, but the audience didn't see anything besides the fight on the robot.


 * If the episode actually took place in Candace's dream instead of Perry's, this would put an end to the overall plot of the show, considering that Candace would have finally realized that busting her brothers would have unpleasant results.
 * Even though, in real life, it was shown for about 10 seconds, it may take place after "Cheer Up Candace" since Baljeet's Puppet is shown. And that episode was the only one to show it in the real world.

Production Information

 * Episode description from a 2009 Disney XD Phineas and Ferb press release:
 * In an episode guest starring Geraldo Rivera, Candace finally gets Mom to see what Phineas and Ferb are up to. Then the boys get shipped off to reform school, where they encounter a strict Sergeant (played by Clancy Brown, "Shawshank Redemption"), all while investigative talk show host Morty Williams (guest star Geraldo Rivera) prepares an eye-opening report on the school.


 * Episode description from YourTV.com.au: "The boys are finally caught in the act by their mother and consequently shipped off to military school. Life is great for Candace until she realizes she actually misses them and has to get them back."
 * The Disney Channel premiere recorded the largest audience as of that time for a Phineas and Ferb telecast in total viewers, topping all previous telecasts on Toon Disney with 1.1 million viewers. In Boys 6-14, the new episode ranked among the Top 5 series telecasts ever on Disney XD/Toon Disney with 302,000 viewers.
 * This episode was originally titled "At Last" until the network changed it for the U.S. broadcast (Dan Povenmire Correspondence).
 * "At Last" is used as the title in several regions and countries, including Asia, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. It aired in Spain as "¡Por Fin!" (At Last!)
 * For Latin America, the title was "Al Fin", which is Spanish for "At The End". It was broadcast in 2008, many months before the U.S. premiere.
 * For Brazil the title was: "Finalmente"(Finally).
 * Holland under the name: "Eindelijk!"(Finally!).
 * Note: When it aired in Disney XD United States on November 9, 2010, the title card as "At Last!". Also, on the Friday, December 3rd, 2010 airing of the episode at 12:00 P.M., the title card read "At Last!", as well as the Friday, December 24, 2010 broadcast at 11:00 A.M. on Disney Channel. It is unknown why the card would remain unchanged, because in the episode's original airing, the title was only unfixed in high definition, while this error was also shown in standard definition. The credits also cited the episode as "At Last!"
 * This episode has an extended title "The End?", as reported in Phineas and Ferb World.
 * When the episode originally aired on Disney XD, the title card for the High Definition broadcast remained unchanged, and read "At Last". In addition, the ending credits also called the episode "At Last".
 * A clip of Perry from this episode was used in the TV commercial for The Fast and the Phineas DVD, even though the DVD does not contain the episode.
 * International premieres:
 * Late Summer 2008 (Disney Channel Latin America)
 * December 2008 (Belgium)
 * Sometime in between February 23rd and 27th, 2009 along with other Season 2 episodes in Asia. (Exact premiere dates per episode are unknown.)
 * April 1, 2009 (Disney Channel Germany)
 * April 2009 (Disney XD UK)
 * May 4, 2009 (Disney Channel Scandinavia)

Errors

 * When the Flynn-Fletcher family is extracted from the house, Phineas complains that he hasn't finished his cereal when it was shown that he was having eggs and bacon. However, it is feasible as this took place in a dream, even though he may have intended to have some later.
 * During the recollection of Candace's busting attempts, one of them was about the time they carved her head into Mt. Rushmore even as she never tried to get them in trouble for that. Also, she mentioned they're "getting the band back together", despite teaming up with them for that day.
 * When Phineas and Ferb are being brainwashed, you can see that Ferb's hair is semi-transparent.
 * When Candace and Jeremy are at the Tri-State Dance Contest, the rose they are holding in their teeth appears to shorten and lengthen its stem as they move.
 * In its first apperance the robot spider is seen to have four legs. But in later shots it has eight legs.
 * When Perry pulls the lever he is holding Doofensmirtz's nose, but in next shot he is not holding it.
 * When Phineas builds the Ferriswheel bed, it goes through Ferb's head.

Continuity

 * So far this episode is the only one (next to Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo and She's the Mayor) that Phineas and Ferb get "busted" by their mom.
 * Perry would later make a cameo appearance in "Isabella and the Temple of Sap". Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz would later be absent in that same episode.
 * Jeremy would later be focused on in "Nerdy Dancin'".
 * When Stacy is in the speedboat, her bikini from "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror" can briefly be seen.
 * In Linda's recollection of busting attempts, practically all previous P&F episodes are mentioned ("Rollercoaster", "Flop Starz", "Candace Loses Her Head", "The Magnificent Few", "Tree to Get Ready", "Raging Bully", "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror", "It's About Time!", "S'Winter", "Lights, Candace, Action!", "One Good Scare Ought to Do It!", "I Scream, You Scream", "Journey to the Center of Candace", more mentioning to be heard)
 * The title of this episode is parodied as "Candace Gets Busted" in the last Season 2 episode.
 * The Talking Zebra from "The Ballad of Badbeard" returns in this episode, which actually is Candace's dream.
 * The beginning of My Undead Mummy can be heard while Phineas and Ferb search for their missing bolt at the start of the episode.

Allusions

 * Stray Cat Strut - The music and tempo of the lyrics in Chains on Me is in the style of Stray Cat Strut by The Stray Cats. (Link to a live performance by Brian Setzer: .)
 * Alternately, the song's lyrics and style could be a reference to songs such as Sixteen Tons as sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford. The oppressive atmosphere of the school (and the song) are reminiscent of the oppressiveness of the coal mines mentioned in Sixteen Tons.
 * Cool Hand Luke - The line "Drink of water boss?" as well as the punishment boxes come from the movie Cool Hand Luke.
 * A Clockwork Orange - Baljeet's line about the book being better is a reference to A Clockwork Orange. The book and the movie include a famous aversion therapy sequence, which is the type of treatment all three boys are undergoing at the time. (Coincidentally, the lead actor of the movie adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell, is the voice actor of Phineas and Ferb's Grandpa Reg.)
 * Avatar: The Last Airbender - The episode has some striking similarities to Avatar: The Last Airbender; the reform school building resembles the earth king's palace, the brainwashing is similar to the Dai Li's way of brainwashing, and the sergeant's character is similar to Long Feng, the leader of the Dai Li. Also, Clancy Brown Voiced Long Feng.
 * The Lion King - When Phineas and Ferb regain their imaginations, the scene were they stand on the cliff and receive direct lighting from above could be a reference to the Disney film The Lion King.
 * The character Morty Williams may be a combination reference to talk show hosts Morton Downey, Jr. and Montel Williams. Morty Williams is voiced by another talk show host, Geraldo Rivera.
 * Jaws - The Sergeant said "I'm gonna need a bigger yard" is a direct reference to the line "You're gonna need a bigger boat." from Jaws.
 * Smile Away takes a nod from Camp Greenlake from the book and movie Holes.
 * Space Needle - When the camera zooms out of the tower for "The Flying Car of the Future-Today!", it looks like the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.
 * The Blues Brothers - The O.W.C.A. agents are making the same "hut, hut, hut" noises as the S.W.A.T. teams did in The Blues Brothers.
 * Animaniacs - Both Young Phineas and Ferb are wearing clothes similar to Mindy in the Buttons and Mindy segments.
 * Back to the Future - When we first see Candace and Jeremy flying in the flying car of the future-today, the music we hear is possibly a nod to the famous movie Back to the Future, which features a flying DeLorean as a time machine.
 * Pikmin 2 - The robot spider Perry and Doofenshmirtz are fighting on resembles the final boss of this game known as the Titan Dweevil. It crawls out of the ground in the same way and looks similar to it.
 * Westworld - "The Flying Car of the Future-Today" is similar to the beginning of Westworld. (The Vacation of the Future-Today!)
 * Evel Knievel - Candace water-ski jumps over some London double-decker buses. In 1975 at London's Wembley Stadium, Robert "Evel" Knievel jumped his motorcycle over thirteen red single-decker buses at Wembley Stadium. Most people know that Knievel crashed heavily but do not know that the buses he jumped were not the classic double-decker style.
 * The Simpsons - This episode is a parody of The Simpsons episode, Krusty Gets Busted.
 * Escape from Alcatraz - The Simile Away Reform School is based off Alcatraz, also Candace and Jeremy trying to rescue Phineas and Ferb is a refrence to Frank Morris escaping Alcatraz while using a crafted head in his prison cell bed.
 * Full Metal Jacket - The Sergeant is similar and based off Sergeant Hartman.
