“ | Wait, that's it! I'm sleep-inventing! | ” |
— Heinz Doofenshmirtz |
Candace's plans to hang out with Jeremy are derailed after he becomes interested in playing Phineas and Ferb's newest game, Jetpack Volleyball. Meanwhile, when Dr. Doofenshmirtz discovers he invents "-inators" in his sleep, he decides to go back into his dreams to find out what is happening.
Episode Summary[]
Candace is in the backyard watching Phineas and Ferb, until Jeremy calls her. Jeremy asks her if she has time to go to his house. To be sure, she asks Phineas what they're going to do, but ends up giving him an idea. Candace then calls Jeremy back and asks him to come to her house instead.
Perry goes into his lair, where he sees a tired Major Monogram on the screen. He apologizes to Perry and explains that he was monitoring Doofenshmirtz all night. Carl wakes him up and tells Perry he should check on Doofenshmirtz.
Meanwhile, Phineas, Ferb, and their friends are getting their jetpacks. Candace goes into the living room where her mom is reading a book and tells her that Jeremy is coming over. When Candace opens the door, she sees Jeremy joining Phineas and Ferb. She can't let Jeremy get into trouble, so she decides to keep Linda inside the house.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry smashes in, interrupting Doofenshmirtz's conversation. Heinz then traps Perry and accuses him of building three inators, but Perry denies. Doofenshmirtz realizes that he built them, so he proceeds to test them. The first one changes his table to confetti, the second changes a chair to a cupcake, and the third hits Norm, causing him to hug Doofenshmirtz.
Meanwhile, the kids and Jeremy begin to play Jetpack Volleyball. Candace is still trying to make Linda not go to the backyard. She pretends that she hurt her finger so her mom can take some time getting a bandage.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz wonders how the inators can be evil, and he then falls asleep. Linda comes back without any bandages and wants to check on the boys. Candace stops her and suggests a game of chess for them to play.
In Doofenshmirtz's dream, his inner version shows him a flashback of how he built the three inators and of his plan of combining them to do evil things and become the ruler of the Tri-State Area. His inner version slaps him after the flashback and Doofenshmirtz instantly wakes up. Norm stops hugging him and drops him on the floor.
Meanwhile, Candace and Linda are still playing chess. Linda has forgotten how to move the knight, so she tries to go outside to ask the boys, but Candace stops her. Candace goes near the slider and pretends that she is talking to her brothers. Linda becomes suspicious of Candace because she isn't trying to bust Phineas and Ferb.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz drags the three inators outside, thinking they are useless, inadvertently making them all like in his flashback. Perry escapes his trap and fights Doofenshmirtz. As Linda tries to go outside, Candace calls the house; Linda goes to the phone, and Candace does a fake voice to tell Linda to stay on the line. The gang finish the game and land on the ground.
At the same time, the first of the inators falls off the balcony, firing a ray. Candace picks up a volleyball, but it is hit and turns into a cake. Norm goes to Doofenshmirtz to give another hug, but he trips and knocks the second inator, which also fires. The ray hits the net, causing it to hug the jetpacks and fly away. Norm throws the last inator after Doofenshmirtz accidentally orders him, which fires and hits the jetpacks, making them explode into confetti. Jeremy goes into the backyard and sees Candace holding a cake. Candace improvises that it's their two month nine day anniversary, and Linda believes her.
