Ep 15. Ready for the Bettys / The Flying Fishmonger

In season 1 episode 15 of the popular animated series Phineas and Ferb, entitled "Ready for the Bettys / The Flying Fishmonger," the adventurous stepbrothers decide to build a skateboard half-pipe in their backyard. At the same time, their sister Candace is participating in a skateboarding competition and is determined to beat her rival, the popular girl in school named Betty Jo.

Phineas and Ferb's half-pipe is not just your ordinary ramp; it’s a massive structure consisting of several levels and a loop-de-loop. As usual, the boys have created something out of the ordinary, and their friends, Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet, are more than happy to help test out the ramp. The only problem is that they aren't very skilled at skateboarding and keep falling off the ramp. Undeterred, the boys decide to build a giant robotic skater named Kirby to help them practice.

Meanwhile, Candace is nervous about the upcoming skateboarding competition. She's determined to beat Betty Jo, who always beats her in every athletic event. Candace's friends, Stacy and Jenny, try to offer some words of encouragement, but it doesn't really help her confidence. Candace decides to enter the competition anyway, hoping that something will go her way this time.

As the day of the competition approaches, Candace, Phineas, and Ferb all end up at the same skate park. The boys have brought Kirby, their robotic skater, to the skate park to help them practice. However, Kirby malfunctions and starts to cause chaos at the park, scaring off all the other competitors.

At the same time, Betty Jo shows up and starts to show off her skateboarding skills. Candace, once again feeling intimidated, decides she can’t compete. However, with some encouragement from Phineas and Ferb, Candace decides to give it a try.

The competition is fierce, but in the end, Candace pulls off an incredible trick called the "Betty Jo Flip" and wins the competition. Betty Jo congratulates Candace and admits that she was impressed by her skills. Candace is elated at her victory, and Phineas and Ferb are proud of their sister.

In the second part of the episode, "The Flying Fishmonger," Phineas and Ferb decide to take their love of fish to the next level. They create a flying fish cart, which allows them to soar through the air while selling fish to their friends and neighbors.

To make the flying fish cart, the boys attach a giant helium balloon to a fishing cart, which floats up into the sky. Buford is hesitant to try it out, but as soon as he takes the controls, he falls in love with it. They soar over the city, and their friends are amazed at the sight of the boys flying through the air in a fish cart.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the boys’ nemesis, sees the flying fish cart and decides to use it to his advantage. He attaches a laser beam to the cart, which he uses to cut down every tree in the city. Phineas and Ferb try to stop him, but they end up getting trapped in the tree that they were trying to save.

Fortunately, Perry the Platypus, the boys’ pet, comes to the rescue and stops Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plan. In the end, the boys can continue their flying fish business without any interference from Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Overall, "Ready for the Bettys / The Flying Fishmonger" is another fun, adventurous episode of Phineas and Ferb. The show's unique humor and creativity make it a hit with both kids and adults alike, and this episode doesn't fail to deliver on that front.
