| “ | Our planets are going to collide! You do know what that means? | ” |
— Baljeet | ||
After discovering that a strange planet is hurtling directly towards Danville, Phineas and Ferb set out to avert a disaster, while Buford looks forward to making contact with its alien race. Candace cannot bust them until midnight due to signing a contract known as the "Bust Accord" so she anxiously waits until the time comes. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz uses a Sphere-Attract-inator to try and steal the world's largest ball of twine.
Episode Summary[]
Candace is talking to Stacy, until the phone gets cut off because of a laser beam, which hits a planet. Candace calls her mother, but Linda reminds Candace about a contract called "The Bust Accord", which states that Candace can only try to bust the boys once a day. Candace then decides to stay up and wait until midnight to bust her brothers.
Outside, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford are having a sleepover, so they can see the galaxy from a probe. Buford tells the story of his encounter with an alien species, the Whalemingo, and the time he spent with one, which he named Tristan. Meanwhile, Perry is called late at night to go check up on Doofenshmirtz.
Tristan, Buford's Whalemingo friend.
Phineas fires up their telescope and they look all around space. The telescope focuses on a planet of Whalemingos, and Buford spots Tristan. Meanwhile, Perry arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated and gets trapped in a Double Dutch machine. Doofenshmirtz hears Perry come in and explains his plan to steal the world's largest ball of twine by using the Sphere-Attract-inator.
Back at the Flynn-Fletcher house, the gang continue watching the planet of Whalemingos. Suddenly, the screen becomes out of focus and the planet grows larger. Baljeet finds out that it is approaching the Earth, and calculates that a collision will happen by midnight.
The Double Dutch machine.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry escapes from the trap and launches himself at Doofenshmirtz. They tussle and eventually start up the Double Dutch machine. They both try to keep up with the jump rope and fight at the same time.
Meanwhile, Phineas has the idea to build a colossal spring to bounce the planet back into space. Doofenshmirtz escapes the Double Dutch machine and turns it off. Perry attacks him and they tumble backwards, hitting the Sphere-Attract-inator, causing it to fire. It hits the world's largest ball of twine, drawing it closer.
At midnight, Candace finds her mom and dad listening to records. She explains to them that it is tomorrow, so Linda follows Candace. At the same time, the planet of Whalemingos hurls down on the spring, and Buford meets eye-to-eye with Tristan.
The largest ball of twine floats by, catching on to the Whalemingo planet and unraveling. The ball eventually gets to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, but tiny. As the spring starts to uncoil, Buford tosses his lucky tambourine up to Tristan to remember him by. The Whalemingo planet goes up, causing the little ball of twine to move forward and the Sphere Attract-inator to move with it, throwing Doofenshmirtz off the edge of the building. Perry throws Doofenshmirtz a jump rope, and Heinz hangs on to it. Unfortunately, the machine is started by Perry, which bangs Doofenshmirtz up and down the building.
As the little ball of twine goes up with the planet, the machine wraps around the giant spring. At the same time, Candace directs Linda down the stairs to see it. Just as Candace calls out to Linda one last time, the Whalemingo planet goes up into space. Linda greets the kids and invites them in for a late night snack.
