** A Tri-State area is an area where multiple towns or cities that effectively function as a singular entity are spread across the border of 3 states. This means that the tri-state area is at minimum at least 3 separate cities that directly border each other. So while Milo lives in Danville it's possible that the mayor we see is the mayor of a neighboring city and Milo happens to live very close to the border of Danville which would regularly take him into other cities fairly frequently.

** Dakota apparently had at least one successful mission without Cavendish (preventing the "Mississippi Purchase"), and he didn't have his own time vehicle (despite using one's own time vehicle being the intended purpose of the test; they definitely weren't expected to work in groups), so he was probably a special case. He might have been a rookie agent, not a new recruit, and they were giving him a partner (particularly a stickler like Cavendish) in hopes of reining in his impulsiveness.

* [[WordOfGod Dan Povenmire has revealed]] that ''Phineas and Ferb's'' "Act Your Age" [[https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/1097891359090823168 takes place in a slightly different timeline from MML in which Doofenshmirtz didn't know he will become Professor Time two years afterwards]]. This in itself causes some confusion whether "Act Your Age" is canon or not, but [[https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/1097929026461622272 he later states that Doof still wants a mid-life crisis in both timelines]] (making the alternate timeline bit kind of an awkward and pointless HandWave considering the original question asked) meaning that the events in "Act Your Age" still occur in both timelines. However, considering that there is now a confirmed "original" timeline with the difference being that Doofenshmirtz doesn't know about his future... how much different is it from the "altered" timeline in ''Milo Murphy's Law''?
** We know that, for Doof not to be aware of his future, Milo, Cavendish and Dakota wouldn't have needed to visit him during the dire times within "Fungus Among Us", and for that not to happen, Derek the Pistachion [[ParadoxPerson should have disappeared like the rest of his kind]] when his father was destroyed as a sapling in "Missing Milo". However, in the original reply, Dan stated that Milo, Dakota and Cavendish traveling to 2175 in the first place would eventually cause Doof to know about it, stating that the sapling being saved initially from Milo after the sentient blob merges with it has caused the timeline to alter. Would that mean that Dr. Zone never would've been made in the "original" timeline Act Your Age takes place. Would it mean that Dakota and Cavendish still would've been stuck protecting pistachios, and never gotten fired from the BOTT, and never be hired by PIG? Would Cavendish ever notice the alien abduction in "Abducting Murphy's Law", causing him to go rogue when no one believes him? Would either of them ever be aware of the Octalians?
** Furthermore, does Doofenshmirtz's building still get destroyed by Murphy's Law? Would Doof still have to crash on Milo's couch, or would Doof never, ever meet Milo and friends? If the latter, how much would Doof's absence affect Season 2 of Milo? "Cake 'Splosion" only has him accidentally teleport Martin to the Cake 'Splosion event, which didn't affect Milo and Amanda, but Doofenshmirtz's De-Guminator was essential to Melissa's solution to get Ol' Bessie in "The Ticking Clock" working.
** Cavendish going rogue and Doofenshmirtz staying at Milo are both essential parts for Doof and Dakota's friendship, as well as the creation of Cavenpuss. If even one of those things is not happening, then Cavenpuss may have never existed.

* So in Dakota's flashback episode, he knows the name of the cashier at the burrito stand, despite the fact that this is supposed to be the recruits' test run...are there non-B.O.T.T. time vehicles or devices out there? Is this not Dakota's first run at the recruits' test? ...Now that I am saying this I'm wondering if there may be nepotism involved in Dakota getting into the B.O.T.T. -- Block doesn't use an ID number for him when introducing him to Cavendish, and he isn't wearing a uniform at all in this. While that is definitely in-character for him, it's a little surprising Block would let him get away with it.

*** Nope: Derek, the Pistachion that replaced Orton, is so bad at acting that he got the show cancelled after two episodes, as revealed in "The Phineas and Ferb Effect". Him replacing Orton thus has created an alternate timeline in which ''nobody even remembers what Doctor Zone even is''. This was actually [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] in "Fungus Among Us": Sara's t-shirt lacks the Time Ape image it normally has.
