Episode Summary

Buford has a new game, "Jump and Duck", which everyone is loving the look of. But Phineas is always one for a challenge, and Candace's comment about a game "sucking them in" is just the inspiration he needs to create a virtual reality machine of "Jump and Duck". The trouble begins when Candace, in her preparations for a Cotillion Jeremy has asked her to, gets pulled in before the boys. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz has a slightly more disturbing childhood horror revenge story, but is the song and dance really necessary for this one?moreless

    This episode i think is one of the better Season 2 ones, on par with Chez Platypus and Tip of the Day. Both plots were good and it is consistent with previous episodes. The writing, memorable scenes, etc are all good and the subplot with Perry and Doofenshmirtz's Ballgown-inator are good. Poor chap, you can see why he turned to villainy. As usual there is the wonderful quotes and memorable moments scattered throughout the episode, something most shows these days tend to lack to an awful degree. So overall a fine episode.moreless

It's a vase. In Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation, Perry receives a Christmas gift from Dr. Doffenshmirtz. It's the same vase Major Monogram talked about. Edit
