| “ | Uh, picnic in the dangerous, unauthorized, and highly bust-worthy biosphere? Sounds great! | ” |
— Candace Flynn | ||
Bad weather spoils Isabella's plan for the Fireside Girls to earn an achievement patch, so Phineas and Ferb build a huge bio-dome to help her and her troop. Meanwhile, Candace works herself into a frenzy as she decides that she needs to find out what Jeremy likes about her. Over at Evil Inc., Dr. Doofenshmirtz is trying to rain out a big soccer game, just so he can watch his favorite Spanish soap opera.
Episode Summary[]
Phineas and Ferb are playing with miniature cardboard cut-outs versions of themselves inside their living room due to the rain outside. Isabella and the Fireside Girls come into the room. They had wanted to get their desert trekking patch, but had to cancel that because of the weather. Phineas and Ferb decide to help out. Meanwhile, Candace wants to know what Jeremy likes about her, so she can make sure she continues to do it to make him continue to like her.
Perry walks to the backyard to get to his lair, but due to the rain, he gets drenched. As he comes down the tube, he slips on his chair, falling on his face. After laughing, Major Monogram tells Perry that they think Doofenshmirtz is behind the large amount of rain, and that Perry should go check on him.
In the backyard, Phineas and Ferb have completed the Biosphere. Inside, they explain how it can simulate almost any environment, starting with a large desert. Jeremy arrives wanting to have a picnic indoors, but once he sees the Biodome, he changes his mind to have the picnic in there. Candace is torn because she wants to bust her brothers, but she also wants to find what Jeremy likes about her. She decides to resist the urge to bust her brothers. In the Biosphere, Isabella and the Fireside Girls are on their way to accomplishing their desert trekking patch.
Perry arrives in Doofenshmirtz's lair and jumps through a window. He slips on another chair and falls into Doofenshmirtz's trap, a large clear tube. Doofenshmirtz explains that he has made a Rain-inator to spray water into the clouds to make it rain. In the Biosphere, Isabella and the group have made it across the desert. They decide to try and get their rainforest navigation patch, for which Ferb transforms the desert into a rainforest. Meanwhile, Candace and Jeremy have their picnic in the middle of the desert. Just as Jeremy is about to answer her question, their spot turns into a rainforest, distracting him.
The Fireside Girls are looking at the rainforest when Adyson is swept away by a raging river. Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella follow her on a log, earning Isabella her swift water rescue patch. Jeremy calls Candace and convinces her to take a raft ride on the river with her on the umbrella they were using before.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz explains that the reason he is causing the rain is that he had bought a TV at a garage sale, but it was stuck on a Spanish channel. He had grown to love a Spanish soap opera on the channel called El Matador de Amor. In the last episode, the hero was about to tell the heroine what he loved about her when the show was preempted by a soccer game. Annoyed by this, Doofenshmirtz decided to rain the soccer game so he could watch his favorite show without interruption.
In the Biosphere, Candace and Jeremy are floating down the river. The Fireside Girls have completed their navigation patch, and Ferb makes a mountain so they can earn their rock climbing patch. Jeremy and Candace land on the mountain, and Candace is getting infuriated. When Adyson accidentally knocks a large boulder loose, it falls and lands very close to where Candace and Jeremy are sitting. Candace then runs after the boys to bust them.
The Fireside Girls reach the top of the mountain. Phineas and Ferb then offer hang gliders, and they soar off the cliff. Candace tries to get them, but the ledge she is standing on collapses and she clings to the edge of the cliff. At the same time, Doofenshmirtz's favorite show has finally started and he's excited to see how it ends. Perry moves his giant tube by a downspout and fills it with water. In the Biosphere, Jeremy comes to rescue Candace by jumping off the cliff with the umbrella and picking her up on his way down. They float out of the Biosphere and into the front lawn. Linda pulls up, and Candace rushes to her mom to bust her brothers.
Doofenshmirtz is getting excited as the climax is getting close. Perry escapes his tube and ties the Rain-inator with a passing jet using his grappling hook. The jet pulls the inator out and it stops raining. When the hero is about to say why he loves the heroine, the soccer game turns back on. The Rain-inator dangles from the jet, and as it passes over the Flynn-Fletcher house, it hits the Biosphere before Linda gets to the backyard. Linda asks Candace if she figured out what Jeremy liked about her. Candace runs back to the front yard to get the response, but as Jeremy is about to answer her, the channel changes to the soccer game.

Perry's entrance to his lair[]

Memorable Quotes[]
Candace: Urge to bust so strong, but I need time to know why Jeremy likes me, gotta resist urge to bust, must not spoil quality time with boyfriend. |
Major Monogram: It's not like Agent P to miss...
(Perry slides off the HQ chair, lands on the screen, and falls flat on his face. Major Monogram and Carl laugh hysterically) Carl, play that back! Carl: Right away, sir!

Major Monogram: (Laughs) Stop it, stop it. My cheeks hurt. (Perry, not finding it amusing, folds his arms) Oh uh... (Clears throat) Grow up, Carl! (Carl leaves the screen) Anyhow, as you probably noticed there's been an unusual amount of rain in the Tri-State Area. Call us crazy, but we're thinking Doofenshmirtz!

Doofenshmirtz: Wow, I set up this whole thing with lasers and flypaper, falling cages, spinning platforms, on the way to a trapdoor and you just come and slip on a chair, and waste a day's worth of work. Eh. (As Perry emerges from the hole in the ground in a green glass tube) But it's gonna look great on the Christmas party gag reel, hehehe! Of course, it'll just be me at the party, uh...yeah.

Errors[]
Isabella's diamond patch is orange
- At many times in the episode, the diamond patch on Isabella's sash is orange instead of teal.
- When Perry is in his trap, the background of buildings changes almost every time it is seen.
- The first time Major Monogram asks Carl to replay Perry slipping, the button-pushing noise comes before Carl pushes the button.
- When the Biodome is being poked away by the Rain-inator, the Fireside Girls turn back to their usual uniforms.
- When Jeremy is singing, for a split second, Candace's eyes disappear.
- When Major Monogram tells Carl to stop replaying the footage of Perry slipping, Carl's neck is drawn outside of his shirt collar.
- As Doofenshmirtz moves his recliner, it becomes transparent.
- As Candace walks away from Jeremy after the Biosphere changes into a rainforest, she passes in front of her discarded fan, but the fan stays in the foreground as she passes.
- When Doofenshmirtz is watching the Spanish commercials, the screen reads "Esponja Milagroso!". This is grammatically incorrect because "esponja" is a feminine noun in the Spanish language, and the feminine of "milagroso" is "milagrosa". Also, a first exclamation sign ("¡") is missing.
- Later on, a character in the soap opera says "...su malvada hermana gemela ha sido envenenado". The correct phrase is "...ha sido envenenada".
- While Candace is screaming, her mouth is closed.
- When Adyson slips down into the lower rock, she screams even before she steps on it.
Milly's hair is blue
- Just as the Fireside Girls enter the dome, Milly's hair is miscolored dark blue for a short second.
- Throughout the episode, various characters' eyes are miscolored, either black or grey. Some examples are:
- As the butterflies take flight during the song, Jeremy's eyes are black instead of blue.
- When the Fireside Girls reach the top of the mountain, all of their eyes are grey.
- When Isabella and the Fireside Girls finish climbing, Ginger's hair is dark brown.
