* RetroactivePreparation: As things look dire for our heroes, Orton remarks that it'll be great for his memoirs. This gives Present Foofenshmirtz an idea, and Future Doofenshmirtz suddenly shows up, now assuming the name Professor Time, explaining how he remembered that he should go back because he read Orton's memoirs. He then invites Orton to go back to 1955 and defeat Derek before he could start his evil plan. They also take along the letter from Milo to deliver to a week in the past.

The crossover special with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. Continuing where [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E34FungusAmongUs Fungus Among Us]] left off, Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton Mahlson try to convince Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz to build a time machine and stop Derek's plans in 1965. Coincidentally, Doofenshmirtz already made a Time Traveler-Inator in order to go to 1965 to get some Wyatt Burp orange soda, which was discontinued in the 70s due to being harmful to the environment. However, Doof still needs time juice in order to make it work, which hasn't been discovered yet. Fortunately, the clock from the time stream Milo was given earlier contains a bit of time juice, so Milo and Diogee go back home with Perry the Platypus to pick it up. After doing so, the Time Traveler-Inator is set, but Pistachions have discovered Doof's home, so Milo decides to distract them so Dakota, Cavendish, Orton, Doof and Perry can travel in time.

Meanwhile, Zack and Melissa manage to escape their prison along with Buford and Baljeet, who had discovered a project called M.U.L.C.H. is being worked on, although they do not know it purpose. The four accidentally run into Derek, who has assumed his role as Orton for years without taking his mask off, and thus got his actual head shaped after Dr. Zone. Derek explains his plan to take over the world after his father, but was terrible at running the Dr. Zone tv show... only to discover Zack, Melissa, Buford and Baljeet already ran off while monologuing. The four get cornered alongside Candace, and were eventually saved by Phineas and Ferb. The group then meets up with Milo and Diogee.

Milo, Melissa, Zack, Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Buford and Baljeet then go to Phineas and Ferb's hideout and try to find a way to fend off the pistachions without Murphy's Law getting in the way, while Cavendish, Dakota, Orton, Perry and Doof try to avert the takeover in the past, but then get stuck on an island in the present. Will they succeed before Derek can unleash his M.U.L.C.H. project?
