Now I know what you are all thinking... What happened to Carl? Wasn't he under the control of Phineas' mind-controlling machine? Well, in this chapter, you are going to figure out how Carl was brought back to normal.

Episode 1: Part 7
(Phineas v. Doofenshmirtz)

Major Monogram and the other Division leaders were discussing their next move... All but one animal agent had been captured, and that animal agent just quit the agency, so how should they go?

"I say we send in a machine, and we free one of our agents, then that agent can free the others and they can continue the charge," Wanda, one of the division leaders said.

"But the possibility of the same results happening again are very high... Some of the agents didn't get very far past their starting lines at all... The only other agent who made it far enough to make a difference was Agent Pinky of Maple Avenue..." Frank, another division leader replied.

"People, people..." Major Monogram said standing up to make sure a large scale argument didn't flare up. "I think we can all agree that the first priority is to free the animal agents... Of course, how the agents should continue is another issue entirely..."

"So what are you suggesting Monogram?" A division commanded from a different city in the Tri-State Area spoke up.

"I'm suggesting that we reclaim our agents and have them withdraw..." Monogram reasoned. "This was a rushed plan anyway... If we had taken more time and used more resources, I'm sure that we would've known about the impossibility of the mission we gave our agents..."

"And what about your agent Monogram?" Wanda, Pinky's division commander said aloud. "Agent P just gave up without a fight... He had a clear shot to end it immediately and he retreated."

"That's because Phineas is Agent P's owner," Monogram replied. "So, beyond that... I move that we withdraw and try a different tactic... We will try to clear everyone up so that they won't be under Phineas' mind control anymore..."

"I like it..." A division commander outside of the Tri-State area said on the computer monitor. "But how do we do it?"

"By combining a light syrup along with a few special ingredients, we can create a mist that will spread across the Tri-State Area and end the effects of Phineas' machine... It worked for Carl," Major Monogram pointed at Carl. "He was affected by Phineas' machine earlier today as well...

"Of course," A Russian agent division leader said. "If you know the syrup works, then all is well... But the problem is that we still need to retrieve the agents from captivity...".

"I've already sent a small mouse like robot that can cut the nets apart..." said Carl. "Now, all we need to do is wait... And while we wait, I'm going to cook up a lot more of that syrup..." Carl rushed out of the meeting hall.

"That no good, double crossing, absent-minded platypus," Phineas angrily shouted more and more. "How dare he keep something from me that important... I mean... Think of everything that we could have done together?"

Meanwhile, Perry wasn't actually running away in shame... That was what he was originally going to do, but as he ran, he realized that if Phineas were to recover his memory, then Phineas might forgive him..., and that would give the other animal agents enough time to shut the machine down... In fact, Perry was wondering if maybe, just maybe, Doofenshmirtz might have accidentally switched personalities with Phineas, which would've accounted for the sudden rise of evil in Phineas and the sudden rise of playfulness and childlike nonsense from Doofenshmirtz.

Perry ran into the O.W.C.A. headquarters and snuck up to the Amnesia-inator, reversed the effects, made it into a liquid form, that would let a person remember something forgotten of major importance... It would start with anything that the Amnesia-inator had forgotten... and that was where Perry limited the liquid, so that Phineas wouldn't remember anything else... Like the fact that Phineas demanded that Perry clean up his own litter box.

Perry put it into a dart gun, grabbed the gun, pulled out another fedora hat, put it on, and ran out of the HQ, and ran straight back into Danville... he would someday be worthy of Phineas' trust again... Let him start re-earning it today...

Meanwhile, the mouse that Major Monogram had sent out had retrieved the animal agents who had quickly retreated from Phineas' backyard.

Phineas was watching the sky when it started turning pink, then red, then black... And finally, the stars came out.

Phineas sighed... Phineas began tracing the stars with his finger, and somehow found a way to make a platypus... Suddenly, he began remember how harsh he had been to Perry... and regretted ever single word of it...

Le Gasp, are the effects of the Switch-inator wearing off?

Stay tuned and find out...
