“ | Everything Phineas and Ferb build disappears when it's finished, so if I keep them from finishing the thing they're building, it will never disappear. I call it Busy Bee Busting, B. B. Busting for short. | ” |
— Candace Flynn |
When Phineas and Ferb can't find Perry, they decide to create the Perrytronic 3000, a mechanical structure that can assume any form. Candace takes a different tactic on her busting approach by using a new technique that keeps Phineas and Ferb from finishing their project. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz invents a "Duplicator-inator 2" so that he can duplicate his own head and supposedly make himself twice as smart.
Episode Summary[]
Phineas and Ferb are in the yard. Linda walks out and Phineas explains that they want to take Perry on a walk. Linda heads to the store to get ingredients for a recipe. Phineas then decides to make a Perrytronic 3000.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry circles around the building with bat-like wings. Monogram explains the new evilness readiness program will make Perry ready to strike while Doofenshmirtz watches. As Doofenshmirtz declares he is ready for his scheme, Perry dives in and punches him, before getting trapped in a birdcage. Doofenshmirtz reveals his Duplicator-inator 2, which he plans to use to give himself two heads.
Back at the Flynn-Fletcher house, the gang is building the Perrytronic 3000. Phineas explains that it has limitless abilities. Inside Candace's room, Candace tells Stacy that she plans to keep her brothers from finishing their project so that it won't disappear.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz uses the Duplicator-inator 2 to create his second head. Candace wonders what the Perrytronic does, and Phineas tells her, before taking off, that the theme song will explain. As they come back to the backyard, Candace asks if it can complete other random tasks, leading Phineas to conclude that they are not done with the Perrytronic.
Doofenshmirtz and the second head can't come up with a good idea, so they decide to zap random things with the Duplicator-inator 2. They shoot Perry's arm, making a duplicate of it, which frees Perry. The second head tells Heinz to hit Perry, but Doofenshmirtz fires the inator and accidentally creates a bunch of Perry body parts. The head tells him to point the inator somewhere else, and Doofenshmirtz continues to fire it out of the building, with one of the beams going past Phineas and Ferb's house.
Candace calls Linda and tells her brothers not to stop working on the Perrytronic. When Candace runs to get Linda, Linda isn't there. After a while, Linda drives off after realizing that she left her purse in the market. Candace then notices there are two houses.
To fight off the Perry parts, Doofenshmirtz makes more of his heads with the Duplicator-inator 2. As they fight, two of Doofenshmirtz's heads hold Perry in place with their mouths. Perry calls one of his copy arms and tosses it towards the self-destruct button, but it disappears. Doofenshmirtz realizes that he had the microwave attachment set to potato, meaning that whatever he made would disappear after three minutes.
At the house, Linda pulls up and Candace tries to show her the two houses, but the second house disappears. Perry is surrounded by Doofenshmirtz's heads, but they disappear. With one head left to defeat, Perry grabs a golf club and uses it to destroy the Duplicator-inator 2. Doofenshmirtz tries to stop Perry by throwing his second head, but it misses him and is thrown off the balcony. Perry destroys the Duplicator-inator 2 as it fires one last time and leaves via jetpack.
At the same time, Candace tries to get Linda to see the Perrytronic, but the beam hits it, causing it to duplicate. The two Perrytronics hit each other and tumble away from the backyard just as Candace brings Linda out, who only sees the real Perry. Linda then brings the kids in for pizza and ice cream sandwiches leaving Candace alone to sulk.
