| “ | Wouldn't it be great if there were trampolines everywhere you went? | ” |
— Phineas Flynn | ||
Inspired by Ferb's personal anti-gravity device, Phineas thinks it would be fun to suspend trampolines all over Danville. Unfortunately for Candace, she also gets zapped by the anti-gravity device and ends up trying to maintain her composure while floating across the dining room floor in front of Jeremy’s family. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz has a recipe for evil that involves his Tell-the-Truth-inator featuring honest Abe Lincoln.
Episode Summary[]
Phineas and Ferb are bouncing on a trampoline, and Phineas thinks it would be cool to have trampolines everywhere. Ferb stops in mid-air, to Phineas' confusion. Ferb explains that it's his anti-gravity device, which gives Phineas an idea.
Perry enters his lair, where Major Monogram tells him that Doofenshmirtz has been buying some food at the store and that it is a "recipe for evil". Perry leaves via jet-pack.
Linda tells Candace that the Johnson family is coming to their house for brunch. Candace doesn't like that idea, and decides that she needs to fix things to impress them. She then sees Phineas and Ferb's invention and decides to check it out. Unfortunately, the machine makes Candace float in the air, and there isn't a reverse button.
Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb are at the hardware store. They ask the clerk where the reverse switches are. The clerk points them to the self-destruct buttons, where Doofenshmirtz is.
The Johnson family arrives at the house, where Candace, still trying to hold herself on the ground, is there to greet them. As Candace lets the Johnson family inside, she holds Mrs. Johnson to go with her while pretending that she can't stop hugging her.
Phineas and Ferb use their Anti-Gravity Maximus to shoot the trampolines and bounce with Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford.
When Perry arrives in Doofenshmirtz's lair, there is a tape recorder that tells Perry to not destroy his inator with a sledgehammer. When Perry goes to the inator, he gets trapped, and Doofenshmirtz introduces his Tell-the-Truth-Inator, having an Abraham Lincoln robot as a design theme for his inator. He explains that people lie for a lot of things that benefit them and others.
When Linda tells Candace to give the Johnson family some juice, she uses a wrench and puts it in her right leg as a counterweight to keep herself on the ground. Outside, the kids are enjoying themselves jumping on trampolines in the air.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz goes to a baseball game and tries his Tell-the-Truth-inator in some random people. He hits the catcher with the inator, who tells a batter from an opposing team that there is a fastball coming up. The batter hits it, and the ball goes flying up and hits the Lincoln robot, which starts to malfunction and shifts its loyalty.
When the kids are done playing on the trampolines, Candace asks them to attach the reverse switch and blast her to bring her back to normal, but Suzy overhears her, and gets an idea.
Suddenly, the Lincoln robot turns against Doofenshmirtz, and Perry uses a screwdriver to escape. Suzy tries to show that Candace is floating. She throws Candace's upside-down Ducky Momo plate, and Candace jumps up to catch it. She does, but Linda sees her feet gripping onto Mrs. Johnson's face, and she asks Candace to tell the truth.
At the same time, the Lincoln robot smashes the control panel, and Perry escapes as the Tell-the-Truth-inator flies out of control and heads towards the backyard, hitting Suzy, who confesses. Candace tries to show everyone that she is floating in the air, but Phineas and Ferb put on the reverse switch and hit Candace, causing her to fall. She then tries to show Linda the trampolines and the anti-gravity machine, but the tip of the inator snags onto the trampolines and picks them up before Linda can see them.
