Last Day of Summer

A grand finale is in order!

On the inevitable 104th day of vacation, the season is coming to a close and it’s Candace’s last chance to bust her brothers; who build huge playground equipment for the finale of summer. She is quickly foiled, but when she goes to return a DVD to Vanessa and finds Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s Do-Over-Inator, she finds an opportunity to redo the day, which results in other consequences like rips in the space-time continuum, the shortening of days and the disappearance of her brothers.

Episode Summary

After "Thank You For Comin' Along" ends, Linda calls everyone into the house for pie, and they enter in order: Baljeet, Buford, Isabella, Candace (who does the "watching you" sign to her brothers), Perry, Ferb and Phineas.

Background Information

 * This episode references "Rollercoaster", "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror", "Flop Starz", "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "Father's Day", "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted", "Wizard of Odd", "Blackout!", "Gaming the System", "Happy New Year!" and more episodes.
 * Some animation of the gang playing "Summer All Over the World" from "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer" is reused.
 * The opening credits are shown at the end instead of near the beginning, as also happened in "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars".
 * First time Candace and Doofenshmirtz do a duet.
 * At one point of the song "No One I'd Rather Go Nowhere With", the character's faces turn into the ones of their voice actors.
 * With the exception of Buford who turned into an octopus.
 * The statue from "Bubble Boys" can be seen again in the weird dimension.
 * The song "Thank You For Comin' Along" breaks the fourth wall in various ways. The characters acknowledge events that occurred in the series that they normally would not know about, such as the events of Across the Second Dimension, and events that chronologically take place after this episode, such as Happy New Year! and Act Your Age. The song also has the characters singing to the audience, thanking them for watching. At the end of the song, Phineas waves goodbye to the audience before closing the door. During the song, Phineas also mentions that "Unfair Science Fair" has "two parts".

Production Information

 * From press release on May 7, 2015:
 * The team wrapped production on the Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated "Phineas and Ferb" after 126 episodes, five one-hour specials and a record-breaking Disney Channel Original Movie. The series will continue to be presented daily on Disney XD and Disney Channels around the world. In the U.S., it was TV's #1 animated series among Tweens 9-14 and the #1 animated TV series in Primetime among Kids 6-11 from 2008-2013. The movie, "Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension" (August 2011), remains the #1 animated telecast in cable TV history in Kids 2-11 and ranks among the Top 5 cable TV movies of all time in Total Viewers.


 * Celebrating its appeal, every "Phineas and Ferb" story ever told will be presented in a 73-hour marathon beginning TUESDAY, JUNE 9 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) leading to the ultimate story capper, "Last Day of Summer," premiering FRIDAY, JUNE 12 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD and simulcast on Disney Channel. The series will continue to air daily on Disney XD. A standalone hour-long special "The O.W.C.A. Files," which focuses on the organization's best secret agent, Agent P (also known as Perry the Platypus), and his fellow animal agents, will premiere this fall on Disney XD.


 * Marked by clever multi-level humor, strong male and female role models, strong family ties, the depiction of a step-family and a relatable story of kids growing up and using their imaginations, the music-filled, 2D-animated comedy followed ingenious Phineas Flynn and his resourceful step-brother, Ferb Fletcher, as they happily set out to conquer boredom and make every day of summer vacation count for something.


 * In the one-hour "Phineas and Ferb" episode titled "Last Day of Summer," the summer season is coming to a close and it's Candace's last chance to bust her brothers. She is quickly foiled, but is presented with an opportunity to redo the day when she sets off Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Do-Over-Inator, which results in other consequences like rips in the space-time continuum, the shortening of days and the disappearance of her brothers.


 * "Phineas and Ferb" won three Emmy Awards – one for Outstanding Writing in Animation (2010) and two for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation (both in 2011) – and nine Emmy nominations. Additionally, the series received multiple nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA) and Annie Awards.


 * This episode is the series finale.
 * This marks the first and only time an episode of Phineas and Ferb premiered simultaneously on Disney Channel and Disney XD.
 * This is also the second episode to premiere on both channels on the same day after "Perry The Actorpus".
 * Second episode to have the writers, storyboard artists, and directors credited at the end of the episode instead of the beginning. ("Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars")
 * This is the first episode to use the updated Disney Television Animation logo with the Paul Rudish-designed Mickey Mouse.
 * Unlike most other series finales, this episode was not promoted as one.
 * Second special to not premiere on Watch Disney XD before television after "Night of the Living Pharmacists".
 * The opening number utilizes a 3D model of Danville originally created for "Night of the Living Pharmacists".

Errors

 * During one of the songs, a flashback scene from "Happy New Year!" is shown, but this episode is supposed to be set before that.
 * Granted, a "flashback" scene from "Act Your Age" is also shown, even though it is supposed to take place 10 years after this episode. This may not be considered an error, as Phineas knowingly breaks the fourth wall by mentioning it.
 * Also, flashbacks to "Across the 2nd Dimension" are shown, even though only Perry and Monogram should know about the events since the rest had their minds erased.
 * Maybe the creators made it as a reference to the show's continuity and as a fourth-wall breaking moment, not as a canon-story.
 * When Candace brings Linda home during the first do-over, the Big Idea was floating over them, but somehow they both did not see it.
 * They also should've seen the shadow of the playground.
 * Doofenshmirtz turns good in this episode, but he does "evil plots" in episodes that, technically, happen after this one such as "Happy New Year!", "For Your Ice Only", "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!", "That's the Spirit" etc.
 * Somehow, despite the days resetting, whatever was sucked into the city out of the universe didn't seem to return as well whenever the resets started.
 * When Candace and the rest of the gang try to get Phineas and Ferb out of the city, it takes them a while to get sucked inside the portal, even though everything else was sucked immediately earlier in the episode.
 * Since the portals that send whatever they suck into the city open at a pretty high altitude, the Do-Over Inator should have been destroyed when it arrived at the city and hit the ground.
 * The Fireside Girls were seen during the final musical number but were not seen helping Phineas and Ferb, so they shouldn't be there.

Continuity

 * Practically the entire run of this series is mentioned.
 * A wave of memories causes Isabella to regain her memory, like what happened to Lawrence in "Bullseye!".
 * Baljeet explains his excitement of school again, much to the disdain of the others. ("Minor Monogram").

Allusions

 * Groundhog Day - Candace waking up to her alarm and realizing that she's reliving the same day is very similar to Bill Murray waking up to "I Got You Babe" and realizing he's living the same day in this film.
 * A Christmas Carol - Candace says to Phineas, "You there, boy, what day is this?" in reference to what Ebenezer Scrooge asks in the ending of this Dickens novella.
 * The Langoliers - In an interview with GeekMom.com, Dan and Swampy say this episode was inspired by this Stephen King novel. However, contrary to Dan's statement, the novel was not written by King as Richard Bachman.

Trivia

 * This will premiere at the end of the Phineas and Ferb Last Days of Summer Marathon.
 * Sixth and penultimate hour-long episode. ("Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!", "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel", "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer", "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars", "Night of the Living Pharmacists") Surprisingly, the latter four all premiered throughout the fourth season.
 * Second time Perry plays a guitar (Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension)
 * Third time Doofenshmirtz sings with Phineas and Ferb's friends. ("Phineas and Ferb Interrupted", "A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas")
 * Fourth episode involving time travel. ("It's About Time!", "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", "She's the Mayor")
 * Candace and Vanessa interact again ("S'Winter", "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!", "The Doonkelberry Imperative", "It's No Picnic", "Night of the Living Pharmacists")
 * Fourth time Candace and Doof interact. ("Fireside Girl Jamboree", Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, "Night of the Living Pharmacists") First time they sing together. Their song has some similar movements to "Busted", except Doofenshmirtz takes place of Vanessa.
 * The episode starts in a similar way to "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel".
 * Someone gives the "I'm watching you" gesture again. ("One Good Turn")
 * This is the second time Doofenshmirtz had succeeded in taking over the Tri-State Area, since he managed to move the Tri-State Governor's Mansion to Danville and had himself elected as the new governor. The first time was in "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer", when he moved the Earth away to an early autumn, which allowed him and his fellow members of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. to take over City Hall after it caused civil unrest.
 * The second hourlong episode where Stacy doesn't appear ("Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars").
 * Fourth time who Doofenshmirtz mentions been raised by ocelots. ("The Chronicles of Meap", "Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension", "This Is Your Backstory")
 * Second episode with "Last" in the title ("Last Train to Bustville").
 * Third time Candace uses the phrase "once and for all" ("Picture This", "Wizard of Odd").
 * When Isabella is regaining her memory upon seeing Phineas, the music played is the same as when they kissed each other in "Act Your Age".
