“ | It's not "fun", its relaxing! Which makes it enjoyable! Which makes it fun! Grown-up fun! You wouldn't understand. | ” |

Candace and Stacy have a spa day, but they get sidetracked when Candace decides that they should help Jeremy. Their spa day inspires Phineas and Ferb to build a spa of their own. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz takes in a lost kitten that causes havoc with his old inventions.
Episode Summary[]
Candace and Stacy are getting ready for their first spa day together. Phineas likes the idea and looks through the pamphlet, but Candace tells him that one can't get in this spa unless they have connections, which they do. Once they leave, Phineas and Ferb decide to start a spa of their own with help from their friends.
Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz checks his mail and sees a stray black and white cat which he decides to name Mr. Fluffy Pants, as he's fluffy, looks like he's wearing pants, and reminds him of his Uncle Fluffy Pants.
While Phineas, Ferb, and their friends set up the spa in their backyard, Candace and Stacy head to their spa appointment. They get sidetracked when Jeremy tells the girls he's building houses for the homeless. Although Stacy tells Candace they should just go to the spa, and Jeremy doesn't mind her not helping him out, she insists on trying to impress him.
Back at Doofenshmirtz's, the cat he took in is causing all sorts of trouble, ripping up blueprints and firing his laser cannons on accident. At one point, the Gloom-inator is fired into the air and is causes the sky to turn gloomy. Major Monogram sends Perry to investigate, especially since they thought that Doofenshmirtz had retired the Gloom-inator months ago.
Candace tells Stacy that after they quickly help Jeremy out, they can go to the spa. However, Candace gets so distracted by Jeremy that Stacy gets frequently injured in the process. Jeremy finishes his part of the house and leaves, and Stacy almost leaves for the spa without Candace, but their boss hands her a jackhammer and tells them to turn the concrete into rubble by sundown before they leave. Candace accidentally turns on the jackhammer, which goes out of control with Stacy on it.
Perry makes his way to Doofenshmirtz's lair, and he tries to tell Perry it was the cat messing around with his equipment. Perry doesn't believe him and attacks him.
The two girls walk home exhausted, and Candace apologizes to Stacy for everything, mainly missing their spa appointment. But Stacy tells her it's okay because she did it for love, and reminds her of the time she glued their school hamster in Candace's hair in the 3rd grade to impress a boy named Billy Clark.
When they arrive home, they see that Phineas and Ferb built their own professional spa in the backyard. Candace wants to bust them at first, but Stacy glares at her angrily and they decide to take advantage of the opportunity instead. They are soon pampered with help from Isabella and the Fireside Girls. As they are their last two customers, Phineas and Ferb decide to close up the spa, but letting them stay there for as long as they want.
Perry finally realizes Doofenshmirtz was telling the truth when he sees the cat is messing around on top of a ray gun, firing it. The ray causes the spa to disappear, leaving only Candace and Stacy lying in the backyard in towels and cucumber slices on their eyes.
The cat almost falls off the ray, but Doofenshmirtz saves him, only to fall over the side of the building. Perry saves the two and safely floats down via a parachute. A boy soon shows up looking for his lost cat, and knowing he has to do the right thing, Doofenshmirtz groans and returns the cat to his owner. Everyone is moved except Doofenshmirtz, who asks everyone "Don't you people have jobs?"

Memorable Quotes[]
Candace: Hi, Yummaney...I mean- Stacy: Hi, Jeremy. |
Jeremy: Candace, if you want to have your spa day, it's all right with me. Candace: You heard "spa day"? Because I said "hurrah day". Like, hurrah, I can't wait to build houses!' |
Carl: Do you want the ones with the triangles or the imitation pink splatters? Major Monogram: Triangles. And make it snappy. (pauses) I got the urge to pop and lock. |
Jeremy: Cool beans. I'll let you get back to it.
Candace: Yeah! Cool beans! Cool legumes! (hits nail with hammer) Stacy: Ow! |
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: No, look what you did to the moon! It's huge! It's, uh... it's actually kinda pretty. |
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: I call him Mister Fluffypants, you know, he's fluffy, he looks like he's got pants, plus he reminds me of my my uncle Fluffy Pants who... actually never wore any pants, uh, come to think of it, I don't know why we called him that. Hmm. |
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: (to Perry) Anyway, I just love giving people nicknames. For instance, you're Mr. Duck-Bill Face. And Major Monogram, I call him "Monobrow". (laughs) That's a good one, you know, because he's... He's got the one, you know? And his little friend, the intern, is "Dr. Coconut." ... Yeah. Sometimes, I wish I didn't know so much. |
Stacy: Okay, you can stop that right now. You're starting to sound like one of those TV shows we like to make fun of.
Candace: But Stacy... Stacy: Look, the way I see it, you prevented me from going to the spa, almost killed me with a jackhammer, dropped a wall on me, I've got gypsum in my hair, and basically wasted my whole day, but you did it for love, so it's oK. Candace: Really? Stacy: Yeah. Remembered the time of the third grade? Candace: You mean when you glued that hamster to my hair just to impress Billy Clarke? Stacy: Yeah. It's like that. Both: (sighing) Huh. Billy Clarke. Candace: So we guess we're even. |
Buford is seen in a hot tub Buford: It's not plugged in. |
Candace: A backyard spa? You guys are so bus— (Stacy shoots her a look) Yeah. That sounds great. |
The ray from the Eraseinator zaps Phineas and Ferb's spa, causing it to disappear; Linda walks in.
Linda: Candace? Stacy? What are you doing? Candace: We're enjoying the spa. Linda: ...What spa? Candace: Well, Phineas and Ferb—the spa is gone, isn't it? Linda: What does that even mean? Candace: (sighs) Never mind. |
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: I'm gonna have to do the right thing here, aren't I? Fine, here you go.
Crowd: Awwww! Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Don't you people have jobs? |

Errors[]
- On the way to the construction site, Stacy has her typical bracelet on, but when they get to Phineas and Ferb's house, it is gone and does not appear again.
- During the beginning of the episode, Stacy is shown wearing a blue bow, but during Phineas and Ferb's spa, it is changed to purple.
- During the song, Ginger is seen stepping on Stacy's head when the Fireside Girls are walking on Candace and Stacy's backs.
- When Candace glues Stacy to the wall with wallpaper and then rips it out, her direction changes from facing the wall to leaning on the wall. It is possible that as she is tearing herself free, she spins around.
- When the Gloominator 3000-inator is shot by Mr. Fluffypants, the sky seems to be gloomy at the scene where Candace, Stacy, Jeremy, and others are working for the unfortunate. However, in the next scene, it is sunny and not dark anymore.
- While Mr. Fluffypants is dangling off the roof, his tail disappears for a few seconds.
- In the close up of Holly's feet before walking on Stacy's back, Stacy's bow is blue, then quickly turns purple.
- During the end credits, when Carl turns on the radio, it's sitting at the end of his desk (in front of the lamp), but once Carl starts dancing, the radio is nowhere in sight.
- Since the missing cat poster is colored in monochrome, it is unlikely that people would be able to find his lost cat easily due to the unknown exact colors of the light and dark color tones.
- When Isabella, Katie and Holly lean to the right while singing "loungin" in the song, Holly's mouth is not outlined.
- When the Fireside Girls are walking on Candace and Stacy's spines, Holly is shown walking on them again in the next shot.
- Holly takes two steps on Candace in the first shot, but only one step on Candace and Stacy in the second shot.
- When Mr. Fluffypants is on the DEI roof, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's eyes change color.
- When the Fireside Girls are walking on Candace and Stacy, Candace appears to have a shirt, but in the next scene, it disappears.
- The D.E.I. sign on the bottom of the building when Doof checks his mail reads "Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. Evil Inc."
- When Phineas and Ferb walk up to Candace and Stacy, the usual tree can be seen behind them, yet in the next shot it is in the background near the fence, and no spa decor is seen.
- After Monogram says "Say, Carl, have you seen my parachute pants?", and Carl says "Yes, they're very nice, sir.", the closed captions exclude "sir".
Continuity[]
- The Gloominator 3000-inator, The Media Erasinator, and Inator appear in this episode. ("Leave the Busting to Us!", "Voyage to the Bottom of Buford", "Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)"). Also, the Bigger-inator might be based on the fact that his Smell-inator accidentally made the Universe 10 times bigger because of a growth potion. ("Attack of the 50 Foot Sister")
- The giant squid that Buford fought for the seaweed makes a return appearance. ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford")
- Candace still wants to name her children Xavier and Amanda. ("The Best Lazy Day Ever", "Swiss Family Phineas")
Allusions[]
- The Simpsons - When Doofenshmirtz is painted he looks like Krusty the Clown.
- Pinocchio/Pluto's Judgement Day - Mr. Fluffypants parallels resemblances to Figaro from the movie (the bottom "pants") and the kitten from the cartoon short (the top).
- Thomas and Friends - In the song "Spa Day" the whistling kettle when "hot water" is said, has the same tone as Thomas the Tank Engine's whistle sound. Although it sounded more like Rosie's, Bill's, and Ben's whistle sound, rather than Thomas'.
- "Dog ate/tore up my homework" excuse - Mr. Fluffypants tears up Dr. Doofenshmirtz's blueprints, much like the real-life excuse when a student forgets his/her homework.
- 101 Dalmatians: The Series - Mr. Fluffypants slightly resembles Two-Tone from the TV series, with his front half of his body being white and the bottom half being black.
- After School Special - Candace makes a seemingly sincere apology to Stacy in a rather dramatic fashion. Stacy stops her because she starts to sound like "one of those TV shows we like to make fun of". This is a parody of the After School Specials that aired in the '90s that dealt with serious issues.
- Toy Story - Doofenshmirtz is painting a picture of Mr. Potato-Head until it is ruined by Mr. Fluffypants.
- Kid vs. Kat - The cat is similarly named "Mr. Cat". Also, when the cat makes a mess in D.E.I, Perry believes it is caused by Doofenshmirtz. In Kid vs. Kat, Burt Burtonburger believes that Coop does something wrong, when really Mr. Kat did it.
Trivia[]
- "Spa Day" is the third episode that focused more on Candace and Stacy instead of Phineas and Ferb, the first two being "Ready for the Bettys" and "Elementary My Dear Stacy".

- Doofenshmirtz says "I'm going to have to do the right thing here, aren't I?", just like Candace at the end of "The Lake Nose Monster". The crowd around him goes "Aww," just like they did when he saved the kitten in "Voyage to the Bottom of Buford".
- This is the third time that someone (in this case, Candace and Stacy) goes to a spa. The first two were Linda and Charlene ("Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror" and "Hail Doofania!", respectively).
