In "Greece Lightning," Phineas and Ferb build a chariot racecourse in their backyard after their favorite chariot-racing team breaks up. Candace tries to bust them as usual, but their mom is too busy with her own chariot racing dreams to pay attention. Meanwhile, Perry the Platypus has to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz from using a giant magnet to steal all the zinc in the world.
In "Leave the Busting to Us!," Candace decides to take a break from trying to bust her brothers and joins up with a couple of girls who specialize in busting. They quickly become a fierce team, but when they accidentally nab the wrong kid, it's up to Phineas and Ferb to find him and save the day. Meanwhile, Perry tries to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz from using a shrink-inator to make all of his evil schemes easier to accomplish.
Overall, this episode showcases the clever and quirky humor that has made Phineas and Ferb such a beloved children's show. The juxtaposition of Candace's ambitions and her mom's obsession with chariot racing is a hilarious commentary on the way parents can sometimes live vicariously through their children. And of course, the wacky inventions and schemes dreamed up by Phineas, Ferb, and Dr. Doofenshmirtz are always a delight to watch. Fans of the show will not want to miss this fun-filled episode.
