“ | But, Mrs. Feyersied, 50 patches in one day? Is that even possible? | ” |
— Isabella |
In order to get tickets to the Paisley Sideburn Brothers concert, Candace joins the Fireside Girls to earn 50 patches in one day. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz plans to turn the bridge between the mainland and the Fireside Girls Cupcake Factory into broccoli.
Episode Summary[]
Candace is seen in her room at her computer waiting for the Paisley Sideburn Brothers concert tickets. At the same time, Phineas and Ferb are outside at 6 AM clearing up the mess from yesterday's event. Candace yells at them to be quiet and turns back to her laptop.
Unfortunately, the tickets were only on sale for 13 seconds before they sold out and Stacy phones Candace to ask where she was sitting. She replies that she didn't get the ticket but then hears the TV saying if she was a Fireside Girl then she could get a ticket at tonight's Fireside Girl Jamboree. She logs on to the Fireside Girls website and despite not being a Fireside Girls member, she attempts to guess the patch number. But she repeatedly fails and exceeds her log in attempts.
Candace calls Phineas to her room and knowing Isabella is a Fireside Girl, she asks the boys for her patch number. He says he doesn't know but he'll ask her once she's back from her meeting. Rather than wait, she asks Phineas to take her there now.
Perry is downstairs and jumps on a floorboard. He falls into the basement and climbs the stairs to where he was. He moves to the left and jumps on the proper floorboard, taking him to his lair with Major Monogram telling him about the new transporter. It hasn't been approved for testing on humans yet, so Perry gets to try it out first. When he does, he arrives in Isabella's Fireside Girls meeting, but quickly teleports away before anyone sees him.
Isabella confirms that she needs to be an active duty Fireside Girl to get tickets to the concert. Before she can tell Candace more information, Candace enrolls herself in the troop without hesitation. She gets enrolled but can't attend any events for another week. Candace says she can't wait a week to enroll because by then she'll miss the concert.
But the founder of the Fireside Girls, Eliza M. Feyersied, steps out of the picture and tells Isabella to read out Article 9, Section Charlie, Footnote 6. She says Candace can become a full fledged Fireside Girl and attend the event if she earns 50 patches in one day. Candace agrees, and Isabella says she just needs a uniform and they can start earning patches. She asks where she can buy a Fireside Girls uniform, but the girls giggle and Candace realizes she has to make her own through sewing.
Perry then transports to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated but is hovering as he is three feet too far to the right. He falls but fires his grappling hook and climbs up the building to see Doofenshmirtz. A glass box falls but Perry steps out of the way. As Doofenshmirtz is complaining to Perry on how hard it is to set a trap to just have him roll out of the way, Monogram adjusts the transporter, fixing the three feet issue and unknowingly transports him into the glass box.
Doofenshmirtz tells Perry he is on a low carb diet but whenever he exercises, Milly and Katie knock on his door with cupcakes. He buys them as he can't resist their cupcakes but then shows Perry his ray gun. He will use it to turn the bridge to the Fireside Girl cupcake factory into broccoli so no one will get any cupcakes. Perry unscrews a screw from the floor during this time.
Candace then gets started on her patches, and Phineas and Ferb plan a path to earn fifty patches in less than a day. Candace has to place markers after finishing each task so Isabella's troop can track her progress. Tasks include helping senior citizens across the street, climbing mountains, and wrestling an alligator in a sewer, but Candace loses time fighting the alligator before moving onto her final task. She needs to deliver cupcakes to everyone who ordered them before 5 pm, otherwise, she misses out on the ticket. Phineas tells her to take the roller coaster they built, with which she delivers all but one box of sweets.
Perry escapes his cage by throwing the screw at the ray, turning it so Doofenshmirtz turning the trap into broccoli. He then bends the ray to hit the roller coaster accidentally.
The roller coaster turns into broccoli and Candace has to deliver the last box on foot. She runs to Doofenshmirtz's door, and with the elevator out, she climbs the stairs to the 38th floor.
Perry aims the ray at himself and transports just in time and the machine is turned into broccoli. Doofenshmirtz receives the cupcakes and asks Candace is she is too old to be a Fireside Girl. She replies by saying yes, yes she is.
Candace runs to where the meeting was held and it turns out she doesn't have 50 patches as she didn't drop the last marker, but Isabella tells her she showed remarkable persistence. Candace asks if there is a persistence patch, but she tells her there isn't one. However, as Candace already broke the Fireside Girls' all-time record of patches earned in one day, Eliza gives her the World Record patch and she now has 50 patches. She gets the ticket and everyone goes to the concert.
However, when she asks Isabella why Phineas and Ferb went to the Jamboree with them, she tried to tell Candace the whole speech about how she's allowed to bring guests and Candace didn't need to be a Fireside Girl to come. But she wanted to become one anyway and tells Candace to work on her good listener patch.

Background Information[]
- This episode holds the record for most badges shown in an episode.
- It is revealed that the "Most Patches Earned In One Day" was previously held by Adyson with six patches, until it is broken by Candace in this episode with 50 patches.
- For once, Perry's fight with Doofenshmirtz (if there even was one the day before) has failed to clear up Phineas and Ferb's project, requiring them to stay up all night to clean it up themselves.
- Stacy only has a speaking cameo in this episode, but does not appear onscreen.
- This episode reveals Candace's middle name: Gertrude.
- Linda is absent in this episode.
- Adyson's last name is revealed to be Sweetwater.
- Buford makes a cameo as one of the bullies in the "running with the bullies" scene.
- The totem pole Candace carves for one of her patches contains likenesses of Phineas, Ferb and herself.
- Swampy has confirmed on Twitter that Candace is still a Fireside Girl, yet after this episode, she never wore her uniform again, nor is she seen working with the girls except for a brief moment in "Happy Birthday, Isabella".
- When camera zooms on Candace as Isabella tells her to work on her good-listener patch, another teen Fireside Girl can be seen behind her, but she is seen with an orange beret, compared with a brown one Candace had on, which means she may not have orange-ish hair.
- When the rollercoaster starts up, Phineas says "Stay seated, please" (Sigan sentado, por favor) in Spanish, which could mean not to raise the lower bar. This is a carryover from the Original Pitch.
- The Fireside Girls Anthem is heard in the background whenever the Fireside Girls' lodge is in view.
- Eliza M. Feyersied's painting turns out to be a picture frame put on a window, similar to what Candace does in the theme song.
- Another of the theme song's lyrics were fulfilled, "discovering something that doesn't exist", with finding the Turtle unicorn.
- Candace wears a brown beret instead of orange, possibly due to prevent her beret color blend with her hair.

Errors[]
- Throughout this episode, Phineas' watch seems to disappear and reappear.
- When Candace earns the "bug collecting patch", Phineas and Ferb are sitting next to each other, but when she earns the "motion sickness patch" they are no longer sitting next to each other.
- When Eliza M. Feyersied tells Candace there is another way to become a Fireside Girl in a day, the background is pixelated.
- When Candace receives the motion sickness patch, Isabella is not inside the rollercoaster.
- When Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Isabella are falling from the rollercoaster after it turned into broccoli, for a split second Phineas is missing when they have landed on the street.
- The concert is for Fireside Girls (and guests) only. However, other than Candace, Isabella, Ginger, Adyson, and Katie, no other Fireside Girls are seen and the crowd seems to be made entirely of adults. This changes at the end when Isabella tells Candace she should work on her Good Listener Patch. As the camera zooms in, the crowd seems to consist of teens and younger kids, some of who are wearing Fireside Girl uniforms.
- When Candace is trying to earn all 50 patches, her shoes are red and her socks are white instead of the other way around, however, this may be part of her uniform.
- When Candace tells Isabella that she did earn 50 patches, the triangle on her beret turns whiter for a second, then changes back to normal in the same scene.
- When Ginger and Katie do the second motion to accept Candace, at the moment when they laugh, Ginger's sash is under her skirt.
- When the Fireside Girls laughs at Candace, Adyson is not seen with any shadow and Gretchen is not present.
- When Perry is teleported to Evil Incorporated, he is teleported three feet too far to the right. When he is on the balcony and the teleporter is recalibrated, he is moved to the right again. He should have been moved three feet to the left instead.
- When Ferb said "Hey, where's Perry?" his mouth moves as if he were saying something else.
- One of the fifteen senior citizens is a young man and not an old one. It is the purple shirt Slack.
- Up close the computer has a flower on its side, but when the scene is zoomed out, it does not.
- When Candace sews her uniform, when examined closely, she pricks her thumb, but she sucks on her index finger.
- The portion where Candace has to get 50 patches before 5:00 is never explained, though it might have been at an unseen time.
- It's unknown why Candace didn't just use the other lift because it seems to be not out of order.
- When Candace is about to walk inside the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, the building is shown green instead of purple.
- When Isabella mentions Adyson's name, the captions spell her name as Addison Sweetwater.
- Isabella, Phineas, and Ferb go into the sewer with Candace so she can earn her Wrestling with Alligator patch, but in the next few shots, Isabella is gone. However, she could have left or was cut off from the screen.
- During the concert, Adyson's hair is colored black instead of brown.
- While Candace is starting to skate down to the street, she has two patches. However, after a split-second, she is shown with only one patch.
- The fire inside the Fireside Girls' lodge is not enclosed and it would've burned the lodge from inside.
Continuity[]
None.
Allusions[]
- Shave and a Haircut - The keyboard keys fly off Candace's face, they do so in a digital version of "Shave and a Haircut."
- Pamplona Running of the Bulls - The "Running with the Bulls" and the "Running with the Bullies" patches are a parody of the famous Pamplona Running of the Bulls.
- The Paisley Sideburn Brothers are a parody of many teen heartthrob bands. They may have been modeled at least in part off the Jonas Brothers, who gained fame partially through Disney.
- Jeopardy! - While Phineas is explaining to Candace how she has to help the senior citizens cross the street, an adaptation of the Jeopardy! think music can be heard in the background.
- Most scouting organizations run organization-wide events called Jamborees. The 21st World Scout Jamboree was held in the United Kingdom in 2007 and celebrated Scouting's 100th Anniversary.
- Jonas Brothers - The music playing at the Paisley Sideburn Brothers concert sounds similar to "Play My Music" from Camp Rock played by the Jonas Brothers.
- The teleportation sequence with Perry is a vague, hard-to-catch reference to Half-Life 2. In Half-Life 2, Dr. Kleiner had invented a teleporter that, before the game's events, was tested with a cat, much like how Perry was forced to test it. Major Monogram and Dr. Kleiner have a similar line: "Fire it up, Carl!" and "Barney, if you'd be so kind..." respectively. Both lines show similarities on where they tell an assistant to turn on the teleporter. The final reference is the easiest to catch. Perry's teleporting to random places, ultimately teleporting just off of solid land in the final teleport, just like Gordon Freeman when he teleports into the water.
Trivia[]
- This time, Ferb, who rarely speaks, asks where Perry is.
- This is also the first time Ferb says Perry's name.
- This episode took place after "Rollercoaster: The Musical!" due to Phineas mentioning that they're building a second rollercoaster in that episode; this episode and "Phineas and Ferb-Busters!" feature a rollercoaster, too.
- This is one of the few 23 minute blocks where Candace doesn't try to bust Phineas and Ferb in either episode.

- Second episode to heavily involve the Fireside Girls. ("Isabella and the Temple of Sap")
- The announcer on the TV is the same as the one who MC. ("Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror")
- This is at least the second time Candace and Doofenshmirtz have met. The first time was in "The Ballad of Badbeard". However, this time, Candace is far more lucid.
- Second episode where the Fireside Girls are trying to sell cupcakes to Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Unlike in "Don't Even Blink", they sell the cupcakes in log shaped boxes instead of regular ones.
- Second time Doofenshmirtz's invention is aimed at the Fireside Girls ("Don't Even Blink").
- Doofenshmirtz is shown to have ordered cupcakes from the Fireside Girls, ironically, he attempted to tear down their factory bridge.
