| “ | The embodiment of your deepest, most primal urges. | ” |
— Baljeet | ||
After losing a gift that Jeremy made for her, Candace is determined to recreate it. Unfortunately, Candace can't remember what it looks like, so she enlists Phineas and Ferb to use their mind machine to enter into her subconscious and recapture the memory. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz's evil plan is to use his Underwear-inator to take over the Tri-State Area, since everyone's greatest fear is being caught in public in their underwear.
Episode Summary[]
As Candace watches Jeremy walk to the bus stop from her house, she notices a strange object fall from his backpack onto the sidewalk, though she is too late to catch him before he gets on the bus. She calls to inform him of the lost object. Jeremy assumes it is the gift that he had made for her, but is unable to elaborate as his cell phone loses reception. Candace is flattered, but unsure of what the item actually is. While trying to figure it out, she accidentally flings it into a sewer drain and it is flushed away.
In the backyard, Phineas, Ferb, and Baljeet are hooked up to a Mind Machine manned by Irving that they created to enter one's subconscious and cure fears; in this case Baljeet's fear of using contractions. Phineas says that they'd be happy to help Candace out, but she is unable to describe the strange object. Phineas concludes that they can use the Mind Machine to enter Candace's subconscious and retrieve the memory of the object so they can reconstruct it for her.
Meanwhile, Perry arrives early at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated and catches Doofenshmirtz in his underwear. Doofenshmirtz traps Perry in a net and tells him that he had just inspired his new evil idea of constructing an "Underwear-inator", and using it to disrupt the Tri-State Area Summit and Weenie Roast by exposing everyone in their underwear, paralyzing them with embarrassment and making it much easier to take over.
Candace is wired up to the Mind Machine, and she enters her subconscious along with Phineas, Ferb, and Baljeet. Once in, Irving reminds them that they have forty-five minutes until Jeremy arrives. Phineas tells Candace that they must head for the "Forest of Memory". The four hear a monstrous roar from afar, which Baljeet identifies as the cry of Candace's id, manifested as an actual being inside her mind.
While Doofenshmirtz finishes building the Underwear-inator, Perry pulls out his right contact lens and uses it to magnify the sun's heat unto the rope of his net trap.
Phineas, Ferb, and the others emerge from the "Peaks and Valleys of Fickleness" in Candace's mind and arrive at the "Falls of Anxiety", where Buford meets them, to Candace's disapproval. In the backyard, Irving explains to an inquisitive Isabella that Buford had just arrived and jacked himself into the Mind Machine. Buford's presence in her mind stresses Candace, and they part ways with him after manifestations of fear chase them through the waterfall. Isabella arrives in the mind next to Buford, who proceeds to give her a tour.
Doofenshmirtz realizes Perry's escape plan and crushes his magnifying contact lens and walks away, not realizing that Perry has another one hidden in his left eye.
After wandering through different parts of Candace's mind, the main group arrives in the Forest of Memory. Phineas theorizes that they can prompt Candace's memory by stimulating the actual trees in the forest by scratching them. It works, and a vision of the strange object appears in the forest.
Just then, Jeremy arrives in the mind and greets Candace. He identifies the mysterious object as his drain unclogger. The id, appearing as a primitive and monstrous version of Candace, then arrives and chases the main group out of the forest. They pass Buford's tour group, which is now comprised of Isabella and the Fireside Girls. The tour group then joins the main group as the id pursues.
Perry succeeds in burning through the net and attacks Doofenshmirtz, accidentally activating the Underwear-inator. It ends up shooting Perry, Doofenshmirtz, Norm, and Irving, whose underwear happens to be lavender, the color he fears. The distressed Irving is unable to answer Phineas' call for help, and cannot extract them from Candace's mind. Perry deactivates the Underwear-inator.
As the id begins devouring the ground beneath them, Phineas explains to the group that one of them needs to wake up and extract the others. They all successfully shock Baljeet awake by using contractions; though once awake Baljeet is unable to pull the cables from the computer because of his wimpy physicality. As Candace trips and knocks the others down, they all fall into the mouth of the id.
The shock of being eaten wakes them all up, except for Buford, who stays inside to hang out with the id. Jeremy presents Candace with her real gift, a beautiful purple beaded bracelet with her name on it.

Memorable Quotes[]
Candace: (Reaching for Jeremy's gift in the gutter) Ohh, almost got it. (A huge flow of water rushes through the gutter)
People: Woo Hoo! The Danville clean water flush off! Man: One million gallons right to the ocean. |
Phineas: We've already cured Irving's fear of the color lavender. Irving: It can't hurt me anymore. |
Candace: Wait a minute. Why is that dweeb going into my subconscious? Baljeet: Because this dweeb spent two weeks in psychology camp last summer. |
Candace: Where are we?
Phineas: We're inside your subconscious! Candace: OK, everyone take off your shoes. I don't want you tracking mud. Metaphorically speaking. |
Baljeet: I cannot believe there is a whole valley in there devoted to your love hate relationship with ambivalence. Candace: I have mixed feelings about it. |
Buford: Yeah, she's real messed up.
Candace: You can't come in here! Buford: It's a free country. Candace: No it's not. It's my head! |
Phineas: Now, what's the last thing you remember?
Candace: The last thing I remember is saying "How will I find Jermey's gift?". Phineas: Well, we shouldn't have to walk too far, since it's a recent memory! What's the last thing you remember? Candace: Oh, I forgot it already! |
Candace: That's it!
Jeremy: That's what? Candace: Jeremy? Wait, are you real? Jeremy: Yeah. I stopped by your house to bring your present and Irving just told me to jack right in. Candace: My present? How could you? I lost it. But I found the memory. It's right over there! Jeremy: That? That's not your present, that's my drain unclogger. I don't know why I carry that around with me. |
Norm: Who wants lobster bisque? (gets hit with the Underwear-inator, revealing his underwear, and it falls off) Get it while it's hot! |
Ginger: That's it, I'm dead meat. |
Doofenshmirtz: Curse you, Perry the Platypus. You know, those really work for you. |
Gretchen: Gretchen is out! Peace! |
