Candace Loses Her Head

Candace Loses her Head is the official second part of the first episode of Phineas and Ferb. It originally aired on February 5, 2008.

Episode Summary
This episode revolves around Phineas and Ferb remodeling Mount Rushmore for Candace's 15th Birthday, while Agent P stops Doofenshmirtz from making a tunnel to China.

The episode starts with Phineas waking up and seeing on the calendar that it's Candace's birthday. Since the gorilla in the cake last year didn't work out so well, Phineas wants to do better this time.

Meanwhile, Candace's dream is interrupted when Perry the Platypus climbs on her bed. They join the rest of the family at breakfast, where she learns the family will be going on a trip for her birthday. Candace is less than enthused when she discovers that they're not heading to the mall, but instead have arrived at Mount Rushmore. Things start looking up when she sees Jeremy at the Mr. Slushy Burger stand.

As Phineas and Ferb start carrying tools over towards the monument, Candace notices them and heads off to stop them. Perry heads back home to receive his mission, using a lengthy underground and underwater travel tube. When Major Monogram informs Perry that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has a new lair inside Lincoln's head back at Mount Rushmore, Perry is less than enthused. Major Monogram apologizes and sends him on his way.

Phineas and Ferb begin renovation and Agent P confronts Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Dr. Doofenshmirtz explains that he's going to use his Drillinator to tunnel to China, then charge tolls. Agent P chases after him. When the molten lava at the earth's core interrupts the fight, Agent P takes over the controls of the Drillinator and heads back towards Mount Rushmore.

Candace briefly gets to see herself alongside the other Presidents before her sculpture is destroyed by lava being cooled off with water from the nearby Old Reliable Geyer. After choking out the answer that she did appreciate her birthday present from the boys, she trudges back to the gift shop to join her mom and dad.

The "Too Young" Line
Park Ranger: Ah...Excuse me, aren't you boys a little young to be restoring a national monument?

Phineas: Yes, yes we are.

Park Ranger: Well, it's good to see young people taking an interest in our national heritage!
