Episode Summary
Isabella goes to Phineas and Ferb's backyard and tells them to go see Baljeet. Phineas and Ferb stop by Baljeet's house and turn on his room lights, since he is just sitting there looking at his old "Portal to Mars" blueprint. Baljeet tells them that he told his summer school teacher he would make a portal to Mars for the Science Fair, and shows him his blueprints. The teacher tells him that if he doesn't build the portal he'll receive an A- as his final mark. Baljeet is very disappointed and asks Phineas and Ferb to help him build his portal to Mars. Phineas and Ferb agree to help him and in the end, they finally finish building the portal.

Meanwhile at Slushy Dawg, Jeremy tells Candace they need another employee, and when Candace is accepting the offer, another girl, Wendy, comes to take the job too. So they have a competition to get the job. Perry goes to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, where Doofenshmirtz tells him that when he was young his inventions always lost against a bicarbonate volcano. So in this Science Fair, he is building the biggest volcano ever. The next day, Baljeet's teacher sees the portal working and gives Baljeet an A+++. Doofenshmirtz unplugs Baljeet's portal to plug in his volcano. The teacher brings the judges and the portal doesn't work since it is unplugged. He connects it to a nuclear plug, and the portal sucks Doofenshmirtz into it. Candace loses the job and goes home sad. Baljeet says he didn't wanted to win, he just wanted an a good grade.
