They all have different ideas about what extravagant project to make for the local block party; Candace Flynn encourages the kids to build all of them, since it will make it easier to "bust" her brothers.
Meanwhile, secret agent Perry the Platypus is alerted by Major Monogram and Carl that Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz has returned to evil after a stint trying to be good. Perry arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, where Heinz reveals his Vaporizer-inator to get rid of things he is annoyed by. While Heinz and Perry fight on a fly-by of the city vaporizing things, the Vaporizer-inator is accidentally activated, hitting and vaporizing Linda Flynn, to the horror of Phineas, Ferb, and Candace.
