Attack of the 50 Foot Sister

Phineas and Ferb help Baljeet with his Festival entry while Candace aspires to be the next Flawless Girl. Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans to cover the Festival with the "worst smell in the history of mankind".

Episode Summary
Candace and Stacy are watching television in Candace's room. Stacy reads from a Flawless Girl magazine that the Flawless Girl founder, Blanca Dechan, will be at the Midsummer's Festival later on today to search for the next Flawless Girl. Candace feels confident that she might have a shot at being the next Flawless Girl, so she decides to head to the festival and try out for herself. Outside in their backyard, get a signal from Baljeet. He asks them to help him grow his shrunken watermelon at the Midsummer's Festival since they helped him build his portal to Mars. Phineas agrees to help him and tells Ferb that they're going to the festival.

Perry enters his lair through a koi pond along with three other fish, which Major Monogram transforms into secret agents. He tells Perry to go see Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb meet Baljeet at the Midsummer's Festival. Ferb takes out his chemistry set and Phineas and Ferb create a growth elixir to help grow Baljeet's watermelon. Candace arrives at the festival and meets P. P. Otter, but tells him that she doesn't need his help. She heads off to the Flawless Girl booth, where Blanca sits. Blanca tells Candace to stand over by a measuring post and tells her that she is two inches too short to be the next Flawless Girl. Candace walks away with her new Flawless Girl products and sees Phineas and Ferb with their growth elixir. She pours some on herself and it makes her taller by two inches. Candace runs back to the Flawless Girl booth and is told that she is in the running to be the next Flawless Girl.

Baljeet's watermelon grows to be the biggest watermelon at the festival. At the same time it grew, Candace grows 50 feet tall, more than 10 times her original height (5 ' 8" * 10 = 56 ' 8"). She runs into a tent and asks Phineas to make a shrinking antidote. Phineas tells her that they'll get right on it. P.P. Otter walks over and gives Candace his phone number. He walks away and Candace begins to cry, saying that she will never be a Flawless Girl. She decides to go to P.P. Otter. Perry enters Doofenshmirtz's building. Doofenshmirtz traps him in a baby toy, telling him about the baby shower he went to the other day. He says that he has created a device that will cover the entire Tri-state area with the smell of dirty diapers.

P.P. Otter tells Candace to climb a skyscraper carrying him dressed in a gorilla suit. Candace climbs the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building. Inside, Doofenshmirtz shows Perry his Smell-inator. When Candace reaches the top of the building, Blanca spots her and realizes that Candace is the next Flawless Girl. She says that girls will never be able to live up to Candace's expectations, and P.P. Otter argues with her. However, Candace realizes that both of them make money off of people to make people feel worse about themselves. She leaves Blanca and P.P. Otter on top of the building and climbs down.

Candace leaves her growth elixir on top of the building and Blanca grabs it. However, when P.P. Otter wrestles it out of her hands, it falls into place of Doofenshmirtz's invention, replacing the flask that smells like dirty diapers with the growth elixir. Right when Candace is about to show her mom that she has grown 50 feet tall, Doofenshmirtz activates the invention, causing the entire universe to grow bigger, making it look like nothing ever happened. Making the watermelon the same size a regular watermelon. And because of this he loses and goes to put up the shame curtains.
