“Perhaps in hindsight we should not have made our submarine out of food.”

In a classic wacky episode, Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), along with Isabella (Alyson Stoner) and Buford (Bobby Gaylor), build a giant submarine out of food making a “Submarine Sandwich Submarine” to explore the Mariana Trench. Snooping on her brothers rather than getting ready for the sandcastle building competition, Candace (Ashley Tisdale) sneaks onboard it time for an underwater adventure that includes almost getting eaten. Eventually making it out of the water, and crashing on the beach, covering it in sand, Candace’s proof not only disappears at the most opportune moment but she’s even rewarded for the most ingenious sandcastle design on the beach.

The question of Amelia’s (Blu Hunt) paternity is put to rest once and for all as Holmes admits his relationship to Amelia’s mother.
