After the last day of school, Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher, and their friends Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Buford van Stomm, and Baljeet Tjinder return to the Flynn-Fletcher backyard. They all have different ideas about what extravagant project to make for the local block party; Candace Flynn encourages the kids to build all of them, since it will make it easier to "bust" her brothers.
Meanwhile, secret agent Perry the Platypus is alerted by Major Monogram and Carl that Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz has returned to evil after a stint trying to be good. Perry arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, where Heinz reveals his Vaporizer-inator to get rid of things he is annoyed by. While Heinz and Perry fight on a fly-by of the city vaporizing things, the Vaporizer-inator is accidentally activated, hitting and vaporizing Linda Flynn, to the horror of Phineas, Ferb, and Candace.

Reception
"Summer Block Buster" was received positively. John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber rated the episode, and its sister episode "Cloudy with a Chance of Mom", an 8 out of 10.[9]Screen Rant states, "the first episode of the season is a "special event," a higher-stakes adventure, but it is not as big in scale as some of the other specials. It's just big enough to be the vehicle that brings the show back."[10]Decider states, "The creativity that Marsh, Provenmire and their writers and animators is on full display during the “epic” first episode, whose story spans both 11-minute segments."[11]
