| “ | "Life without a phone for Candace Flynn"? But... but, that's me! | ” |
— Candace Flynn | ||
Candace has no choice but to go to her brothers for help after she loses her phone for the fifth time. Unbeknownst to her, the phone that they invent for her has a voice activated phone transfer app that sends her to Easter Island. Meanwhile, back at Evil Inc., Dr. Doofenshmirtz invents a "Pick 'Em Up-inator" to pick Vanessa up from class, then he finds Sarcastic Norm Head, the Norm head prototype that has an affinity for sarcasm. Later, Doofenshmirtz and Perry watch an exercise show.
Episode Summary[]
Phineas and Ferb are out in the backyard, planning the most interesting, tallest, and heaviest thing they've ever built. In Candace's room, she is "talking" to Stacy. Linda walks in and Candace runs over to get her new phone, but she is disappointed to find out it only makes phone calls. Since she lost four phones in four months, Linda got her the cheapest one she could find, and she tells Candace that if she loses this one, she's not getting her a replacement. When she leaves Candace hears an explosion and decides she's going to see what Phineas and Ferb are doing, but she accidentally slips on her rug and loses her phone. It safely lands in a pile of leaves, until a contractor comes in on a forklift, dropping a heavy box which breaks the phone. Candace comes down and sees if it still works. Because it doesn't work, Candace asks Phineas and Ferb if they could fix the phone.
In Perry's lair, Major Monogram tells Carl that he received a cell phone message from a hacker, but Carl tells him that he sent the message to him. As Perry arrives, Major Monogram briefs him about Doofenshmitz being "ROTFL". As Perry leaves, Major Monogram sees his cell phone saying a line of seven Qs and Carl explains that his thumb is on the Q button.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz gets a call from Charlene that he should pick up Vanessa from school, as she is having knee surgery. Doofenshmirtz says he will do it, but he can't go since he is waiting for his exercise show to start. In order to save time, Doofenshmirtz decides to build an -inator to pick up Vanessa instead of him.
Back at the Flynn-Fletcher garage, Phineas and Ferb introduce the cell phone that they made for Candace. They added applications in the cell phone including a rimshot app and a voice-activated transportation system. As Candace arrives, she quickly takes the new cell phone and ignores her brothers about the tutorial for using it since she's a teenager.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz goes to his basement to pick up some parts to build his inator and uncovers Norm's old prototype head. As he reactivates the prototype head, it gives some sarcastic remarks about Doofenshmirtz. Doofenshmirtz picks it up along with the other parts since it was down in the basement for so long.
Candace uses her new cell phone to talk with Stacy who is watching a documentary on Easter Island and wants to go there. Candace asks why she would want go to Easter Island, and the phone automatically transports Candace to Easter Island.
Doofenshmirtz arguing with Norm's prototype head.
Doofenshmirtz finishes building his inator and calls it the Pick'em up-inator, and explains to the prototype that by simply entering the coordinates in the remote, the Pick'em up-inator will go pick up Vanessa and fly her home. As stated, the inator picks up Vanessa from her school and transports her back to her home in a couple of seconds, much to her surprise. Doofenshmirtz happily gloats over his newfound success. As Perry arrives by wrecking the door with a battering-ram, Doofenshmirtz angrily points out that he only just built an inator to pick up Vanessa and that there was nothing evil about it. Realizing this, Perry decides to join Doofenshmirtz for his exercise program.
At Easter Island, Candace tries to use her new cell phone to go back home, but a bird takes it and places it in its nest. Doofenshmirtz explains to Perry that while doing the exercise, he decided to mass-produce the Pick'em up-inator to make people do what he tells them to.
As Candace climbs down a cliff and tries to get the cell phone, a sea turtle passing by sees Candace dangling from a branch, and hides behind a rock revealing himself as Agent T to contact Carl about Candace so that Carl can inform Perry.
Perry gets the message about Candace, and in a moment of distraction, he uses his tail to lift a dumbbell to hit Doofenshmirtz's foot and untie himself. He then uses the Pick'em up-inator to pick up Candace and send her back home, but the prototype asks Perry to leave the remote to him since he wants to do something with it. Doofenshmirtz recovers from the pain and curses Perry, but later gets a call from Vanessa, thanking him for picking her up.
Norm's old head at Easter Island where "a head can be a head."
Candace tries to get the cell phone from the bird, but the branch breaks and she falls off the cliff. The Pick'em up-inator manages to catch her, then gets her across the sea and sends her home.
Candace arrives and hears Linda coming. She freaks out about how her cell phone is gone again, and she says that her life is ruined. Phineas and Ferb then reveal they made another one for her just in case, but the phone activates and sends her to Timbuktu. At the same time, the prototype head uses the Pick'em up-inator to go to Easter Island.

- When Isabella says "Ready spaghetti", she is far out in the driveway, but when Phineas transports to her she is closer to the garage in the same background.
The loop closest to Perry's bill is fur colored
- While Perry is tied up with the jump rope, the loop closest to his bill is his color instead of white.
- During the line "Wave your arms in the air!", Perry's feet and tail disappear for a split second on his first waving.
- During the line "Wave your feet", Doofenshmirtz's leg warmers disappear for one frame.
- When Perry is first tied up, there is nothing behind him. When he gets the message about Candace, there are two barbells and a green ball behind him.

Continuity[]
- Doofenshmirtz uses the same cell phone from "The Beak".
Allusions[]
- Monsters, Inc. - When Candace is watching her cell phone being destroyed, she reacts in a similar way that Sulley does when he thinks Boo is in the garbage compactor — a scene that, in turn, was inspired from a Warner Bros. cartoon short, Feed the Kitty.
- Chuck E. Cheese - The prototype head parodies Chuck E. Cheese's catchphrase, "Where a kid can be a kid", when it says "Where a head can be a head".
- Apollo 17 Mission - As Candace is transported from Easter Island, she is seen receding from the Earth. The view of the Earth is the one taken by the Apollo 17 crew in 1972 on their way to the final lunar mission.
- Timbuktu - The name of this city in Mali is commonly used as a placeholder for a distant and remote location. Candace uses it with this connotation, and is subsequently teleported to the city.
Trivia[]
- When Doofenshmirtz and Perry are watching the exercise program, at the start they do a movement very similar to the Caramelldansen, which is also done in "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!".
- This episode includes the first time Perry is seen smiling since Season 2, implying that he actually enjoys doing Doofenshmirtz's exercise program.
- This is the second time Perry refuses to defeat Doofenshmirtz ("Perry Lays an Egg").
- This is the fifth time Doofenshmirtz succeeds on his scheme ("Hail Doofania!", "At the Car Wash", "Robot Rodeo", "Split Personality").
- This is the fifteenth time Perry doesn't battle Doofenshmirtz ("Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!", "Traffic Cam Caper", "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").
- It is never shown what is the other thing Phineas and Ferb built besides the new cell phone for Candace. According to the boys, it is very tall, heavy, interesting, and it could fit inside the truck that belongs to a man from the museum.
- This episode marks Agent T's first appearance and Vanessa's first appearance in Season 3.
- Vanessa's line "Curse you, unknown rocket helmet transportation thing!" is a parody of one of her father's catchphrases, "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!".
- This is the tenth episode with Candace's name in the title ("Lights, Candace, Action!", "Candace Loses Her Head", "Journey to the Center of Candace", "Oil on Candace", "Cheer Up Candace", "Candace's Big Day", "Candace Gets Busted", "Canderemy", "Run, Candace, Run").

- Candace says "Meap" again ("The Fast and the Phineas", "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World", "Backyard Aquarium").

- This is the second time Candace is saved by Perry ("The Ballad of Badbeard").
- This is the second time someone doesn't understand a text message because it's not written with all the letters ("Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)").
