| “ | From now on, I'm going to be a good guy! | ” |
— Heinz Doofenshmirtz | ||
After having an epiphany, Dr. Doofenshmirtz shows up at the OWCA to give up his evil ways. Agent P has no choice but to show Dr. Doofenshmirtz the ropes of the trade, but things quickly sour between the two after Dr. Doofenshmirtz accidentally exposes the identity of a fellow animal agent. Meanwhile, Candace's plans to watch over Phineas and Ferb backfire when Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Babe-inator turns her brothers into babies.
Episode Summary[]
Linda is heading to a baby shower, and leaves Candace in charge, who tells Phineas and Ferb not to do anything while recording it.
Perry heads to his lair and is surprised to see Dr. Doofenshmirtz on the screen. Major Monogram explains that he has turned to the good side, and since he was raised by ocelots it makes him an animal, but tells Perry he needs to supervise him. Doofenshmirtz explains that he quit evil after trying to use his Babe-inator to turn his brother and the populace into babies, and failed. Perry gives him his own cubicle.
Phineas and Ferb as babies.
Norm plugs the Babe-inator while cleaning up the lair. The inator activates and hits Phineas and Ferb, turning them into babies. Thinking that Phineas and Ferb caused this to happen, Candace tries to take a photo of the two and sends it to Linda. However, she simply thinks it is a baby photo of them. Candace then attempts to take a photo of them with a newspaper, but Phineas throws her phone in a fountain and Ferb tears apart the newspaper. She decides to use a stroller and take them to show her.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz is in his cubicle checking the computer and finds out that Newton the Gnu is Agent Silent G and he blogs it. He then goes on a coffee break with the other agents.
Candace goes through the park and Phineas and Ferb start crying. They go to a store where Candace leaves them outside to get toys for them to quench their sadness while a robber arrives on his motorcycle. The babies then use the motorcycle and hook it up to the stroller to escape, while Candace chases them and catches them while the robber gets caught.
Doofenshmirtz and Perry are called to Monogram's office to hear that someone revealed Newton the Gnu's secret identity, causing him to be caught by his nemesis, Dr. Diminutive. He orders Doofenshmirtz and Perry to head out to save him. They take the hover-jet and Doofenshmirtz presses a button that fires a missile, accidentally destroying Monogram's car.
Doofenshmirtz and Perry make it to the apartment where the agent is being held. Doofenshmirtz attempts to kick down the door, but gets his foot stuck. Dr. Diminutive catches them with his Photon 2000 particle bubble-erator. Dr. Diminutive tells them that he learned Newton the Gnu's identity when Doofenshmirtz put it in his blog. Candace chases the babies in a toy store and finally catches them.

Dr. Diminutive hangs them off the edge of the apartment and drops them forty stories down, but Perry uses his grapple gun to catch the particle bubble-erator to trap Dr. Diminutive in a bubble. Perry then uses it to create a bigger bubble, which they ride and crash into Monogram's office. Candace arrives at the baby shower, but the boys are taken by the Fireside Girls who are helping out at the event.
Back at the O.W.C.A., Monogram's office is being repaired, and Monogram has to stay in a cubicle. Monogram congratulates Perry for rescuing Agent Silent G, and then fires Doofenshmirtz for many complaints in Human Resources. Doofenshmirtz realizes he did so much damage for being good and decides to return to evil. He then calls Norm to polish off his -inators and leaves. Norm starts off with the Babe-inator, and it hits Linda and the Fireside Girls, turning them into babies. Candace breaks the fourth wall, saying that she hopes the effect will wear off before the next episode.

I know what we're gonna do today[]
None
Ferb's Line[]
He cries along with baby Phineas.
Whatcha doin'?[]
None.
Hey, where's Perry?[]
Candace: Okay you two, I'm in charge and I'm gonna lay down some ground rules!
Phineas: Okay, shoot! Candace: No leaving the yard, no amusement park rides, no robots, no rocket ships... Phineas: Ferb, are you getting all of this? (Ferb holds up a miniature tape recorder.) Cool. Candace...no first edition issuing of commemorative coins, no asking where Perry is, no astrological planetary alignments... |
Oh, there you are, Perry[]
None.
Perry's entrance to his lair[]
He twists a board on the fence, turning it into a diving board. He then dives into a baby pool, and the water floods into the lair along with him.
Memorable Quotes[]
Doofenshmirtz: Wow, my own cubicle. (Agent Kitty joins him and Perry) How nice! I'm gonna put a poster, right here, with a kitten that says, "Hang in there." (Doofenshmirtz turns and sees Agent Kitty; chuckles awkwardly) No offense. It's not like I think that's all you guys do, or anything. (Agent Kitty walks off) Oh, great, now he's going to Human Resources. |
Candace: (After she puts baby Phineas and Ferb in a stroller) That's it, go right to sleep. You'll be busted in just a little bit. |
Major Monogram: Enter. Agent P, we have a situation.
Doofenshmirtz: Is this about that grape joke? Who told on me? Was it the duck?! Major Monogram: That's not why I called you in. Get a look at this! This is Newton the Gnu. He was assigned to Dr. Diminutive, but it appears that some bonehead blew his cover on the blogosphere. We still haven't found out who it was. In the meantime, We need you to bring him in. Get on it, Agent P! Oh, and, uh, take Doofenshmirtz with you. Doofenshmirtz: A ride-along? Sweet! I can wear my new fedora! Major Monogram: Get out of here! (Doofenshmirtz and Perry leave, then Carl is seen with a mail cart) Carl, get in here! When you're done delivering the mail, I want you to wash and wax my car. You know, a little wax on, wax off? It'll teach you karate. Carl: No, it won't. |
Doofenshmirtz: I am loving this! We're all like partners, now! Like Jack and Jill, or Alice and Wonderland! And with a super-cool vehicle!
Major Monogram: Be careful out there. Washing my car. Don't scratch it. Doofenshmirtz: Ooh, look at all these neat buttons! Hey, what does this one do? (he presses a button, which launches a missile) Whoa! Oh yeah, this is way cool! (The missile hits Major Monogram's car and blows it up) Major Monogram: DOOFENSHMIRTZ! |
Robber: Suckers! (laughs) Oh, my bike. (the police show up) Oh, good the cops are here! Maybe they can report this vandalism to--
Police: (in megaphone) PUT YOUR HANDS UP! Robber: Oh, that's right. |
Major Monogram: It's humiliating! I'm stuck in this crummy, little cubicle while my office gets repaired! Anyway, Agent P, due to your quick action and decisive action, you were able to rescue Agent Silent G. Doofenshmirtz, you're fired.
Doofenshmirtz: Is it because I blew up your car? Major Monogram: No, it's because I have a list of complaints from Human Resources. Doofenshmirz: So, it was the duck! (Doofenshmirtz, dog agent and crocodile agent look at the duck agent as he backs away in his chair) Major Monogram: Let's face it. You've done more damage inside the agency than you ever did outside. Doofenshmirtz: So what you're saying is that I'm good at being evil after all! (calls Norm) Norm, dust off the old inators! We're back in business! (hangs up, brief pause) Later, chumps! |
Candace: Okay, I get it, lesson learned. Toddlers aren't easy. The irony is not lost in me! A little help here? This had better wear off before the next episode. |

Errors[]
- Before Isabella is hit with the Babe-inator, she is wearing her Fireside Girl outfit, but after she gets hit, she switches to her regular outfit.
- Ginger, Gretchen, and Milly are wearing their sashes on their right shoulders instead of their left shoulders. When the Babe-inator hits all of the Fireside Girls, Katie's sash is also on her right shoulder, and her party hat turns orange.
- Adyson appears at the baby shower event, yet she does not show up when the Fireside Girls are turned into babies.
- During one part of "Here's Why It is Great to Be a Baby", Phineas, Ferb, and Candace are in their own house, despite being in the store before, for most of, and after the song. They also seem to appear in Isabella's kitchen in one shot.
Doofenshmirtz's arm is disconnected from his body
- When Major Monogram hands the complaint list to Doofenshmirtz, the latter's arm is not attached to his body.
- The skin on Ginger's legs changes color after she is hit with the Babe-inator.
- When Carl is washing Monogram's car, a handicap space marker is on the ground in the space above the car. When Doofenshmirtz blows up the car, the handicap space marker is gone.
- After Candace decides that she is going to buy them toys, when she places Ferb back down, the seat belt in his seat appears without Candace putting it on.
- In the credits, Millicent Henson's first name is misspelled as "Millet", and Mitch Rochon is listed twice.
Continuity[]
- Doofenshmirtz being raised by ocelots is mentioned again ("The Chronicles of Meap", Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, "Skiddley Whiffers").
Allusions[]
- The Karate Kid - Major Monogram tells Carl washing his car will teach him karate, which is what Mr. Miyagi tells Daniel in this film.
- Happy Hollow Park & Zoo - Danny the Dinosaur is a parody of the mascot of this zoo and park in San Jose, Danny the Dragon.
Trivia[]
- This is the twentieth episode in which Perry doesn't battle Doofenshmirtz ("Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!", "Put That Putter Away", "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein", "Oil on Candace", "Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)", "Tip of the Day", "Thaddeus and Thor", "Oh, There You Are, Perry", "Undercover Carl", "I Was a Middle Aged Robot", "Nerds of a Feather", "Split Personality", "Run, Candace, Run", "Candace Disconnected", "Skiddley Whiffers", "Bullseye!", "The Doonkelberry Imperative", "Meapless in Seattle").
- It is revealed that Dr. Diminutive's nemesis is Newton the Gnu.
- It is revealed that Dr. Diminutive builds "-erators".
- It is revealed that Major Monogram's car is a black sedan.
- This is the first time Isabella and the Fireside Girls are seen as babies.
- Holly is the only Fireside Girl who does not appear.
- Candace breaks the fourth wall at the end by mentioning "the next episode".
- Like Phineas, Dr. Doofenshmirtz also scratches his ear when lying, being the third character who does something while covering up a lie. The first is Phineas in "The Beak" and the second is Carl in "Delivery of Destiny".
- During the end of the episode, when all the agents are fixing the agency, there are two pig agents. One is wearing a fedora, and another is wearing a hardhat. This is likely due to the O.W.C.A. having more than one agent of the same species, like with the ostriches.
- This is the fourth time the O.W.C.A. headquarters are seen ("Traffic Cam Caper", Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, "Delivery of Destiny").
- This is the second time Ferb cries (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- This is the fifth time Candace loses her cellphone ("Greece Lightning", "Candace Disconnected", "Meatloaf Surprise", "Meapless in Seattle").
- Agent M appears again ("Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown").
- This is the fourth time Phineas is seen as a baby ("Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!", "Oh, There You Are, Perry", "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!").
- This is the third time someone goes to a baby shower, and second time it is Linda ("Attack of the 50 Foot Sister", "Tour de Ferb").
- This is the second time Doofenshmirtz turns to the good side ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford").
- This is the fourth time Isabella only has one line ("Flop Starz", "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World", "Tour de Ferb").
- Phineas and Ferb are hit with one of Doofenshmirtz's inators again ("Gaming the System", "Canderemy", "Phineas and Ferb Interrupted").
- This is the second time someone gets told washing something will teach them karate ("Doof Dynasty").
- This is the second time someone gets their foot stuck in a door ("Chez Platypus").
- Doofenshmirtz and Monogram interact again ("Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!", "Candace Gets Busted", "Perry The Actorpus").
- This is the second time Linda is seen as a baby ("Mom's Birthday").
- Many agents of the O.W.C.A. appear again ("Cheer Up Candace", "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!", Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- Candace is eating "Health Squares" cereal at the start of the episode, the same kind of cereal Jeremy eats on his day to visit colleges (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- Doofenshmirtz leaves his Babe-inator unplugged. This is the exact opposite of what he does to his Shrink-inator ("Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?", "Let's Take a Quiz").
- This is the fourth episode to have the word "Doof" in the title ("Hail Doofania!", "The Doof Side of the Moon", "Doof Dynasty").
- It is never explained how Phineas, Ferb, Linda, Isabella and the Fireside Girls get turned back to their regular selves after this episode. A possible explanation is that when Perry goes home and sees what happened, he returns to the laboratory and reverses the Babe-inator, akin to his act in another adventure ("Phineas and Ferb Interrupted").
