"Where's P-Perry?" Phineas asked, as he went up to his room with Isabella. When they finally got to the boys' room, Isabella and Phineas stopped crying for 10 seconds.

Perry had used the chimney to go back down to the OWCA lair beneath the house.

"Good morning Agent P. The Inator 25th Anniversary Contest is going on right now, and Doofenshmirtz is going to be doing something. Get to the bottom of it, Agent P!" Major Monogram told Perry.

Carl had appeared on the screen. "Perry. I heard Isabella and Phineas got depressed by Poofenplotz's Depressinator!" (That's why they were crying) Perry thought to himself.

At Poofenplotz, the evil female scientist had just realized a major flaw in her Depressinator. "So the Inator can only fire once. However, the depression can return stronger than ever when a hope spot is active."

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!

"Ah, Perry the Platypus. How unexpected. And by unexpected, I mean COMPLETELY expected!" Dr. Doofenshmirtz told Perry, as the platypus got trapped in an invisible steel cage.

"BEHOLD! The Gaffeinator! Ever since I remembered my senior year in America, this classmate of mine is running for Congress despite NEVER HOLDING POLITICAL OFFICE! This Inator will cause some embarrassing high school video of him to go viral, and on November 4, I will watch as he fails so poorly he makes Goldwater look like a winner." As Doofenshmirtz finished explaining the plan, he heard the phone. Poofenplotz had called and told him that she has an early lead.

Meanwhile, at Bloodpudding's apartment, Agent K got trapped. "Behold! The Teleport-to-Pluto-Inator! It will transport anything hit by it all the way to Pluto, where freezing to death is inevitable!" Bloodpudding revealed his plan.

Ferb, Buford and Baljeet had taken 45 minutes to build another supercomputer, with the memory of building the previous one. "The Feel Better Phinabella Supercomputer is live!" Buford told everyone. Lawrence decided to use this project to try to cheer the now hopeless couple up.

The Machine turned on the first time, scanning the entire Tri-State Area. Lawrence asked the supercomputer "When will Isabella and Phineas finally be able to cheer up?"

The machine replied "It will take until midnight for Isabella and Phineas to cheer up." As everyone heard that, they felt slightly better, but couldn't distract themselves.

It had been 1 hour since Phineas and Isabella had been hit with the Depressinator's ray. They had only stopped crying for a short 30 seconds, and that was about to change.

Lawrence decided to go up to check on Phineas and Isabella. When he found them, they were too emotionally broken to notice anything except each other. "Isabella! Phineas! You can cheer up at midnight. Also, Vivian let the two of you have a sleepover together."

This finally caused Isabella and Phineas to stop crying "Thanks." The depressed couple told Lawrence, as they got some sense of hope. Lawrence had opened the window, and then left the couple to be alone together.

Poofenplotz taunted Pinky as she revealed why the Depressinator used all of the sorrow at once. "It can only fire once because, at the first potential hope spot, the pair hit by the Depressinator wrecked themselves even more. On certain days, they will not be able to stop crying at all." (There's nothing to do now that my owner is depressed) Pinky thought to herself.

Buford asked the computer "Are there any updates on the situation?"

The Supercomputer replied "Since they got their first hope spot, there is a list of days where neither Phineas nor Isabella can stop crying at all, spread over the next six years." Ferb, Baljeet, Buford, Lawrence and Candace no longer felt happy.

Baljeet asked the Computer "Can you print a copy of the list?". The computer began to print the list.

Upon hearing those words, Isabella finally admitted "We c-can't d-do a-anything t-to c-cheer u-up."

Phineas replied "No. T-there i-is o-one t-thing r-remaining to t-try.", just as he realized that this would only give short-lived hope.
