“ | And of course we'll all stay up til midnight to watch the New Years Ball Drop. | ” |
— Vivian Garcia-Shapiro |
Phineas and Ferb plan their own New Year's Eve ball drop, complete with a customized multi-dimensional ball, while Candace makes it her resolution to refrain from busting her brothers before the clock hits midnight. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz uses a Resolution-Changer-inator in his tie as he continues the never-ending attempts to take over the Tri-State Area.
Episode Summary
Look at you! You're just a bottom!
|
It's New Year's Eve, and Linda has dropped Phineas and Ferb off with the Garcia-Shapiros so Vivian can take care of them. Candace, who is in the car, is complaining about not being late for her first grown up party. After the car drives away, Isabella can't wait to have fun, and Vivian complements on staying up late to watch the New Year's Eve ball drop. That is the moment when Buford elbows a sleeping Baljeet. Isabella reminds Phineas that another tradition is kissing someone special at midnight and hopes she can be kissed, but Phineas doesn't get the hint and says they're gonna make a New Year's ball and drop it from outer space. Vivian, oblivious, says he has an active imagination. Isabella, disappointed, adds it's not active enough. Vivian goes back inside to make some hot chocolate and wonders where Perry went.
Meanwhile, Perry's lair has frozen due to a broken heating system and Monogram and Carl are in Aruba to escape the climate. He briefs to Perry that Doofenshmirtz is doing something at City Hall and has to put a stop to whatever it is.
