1Perry has always been protective of his naive owners, especially after the mess in the Second Dimension. But when Phineas disappears, secrets won't be able to hide and more than one person's going to have to confront certain demons. ''In the Dark'' can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7288047/1/In_the_Dark here]].

3!!''In the Dark'' provides examples of:
4* BigBrotherInstinct: Demonstrated by Ferb, Candace and Albert (much to Irving's surprise).
5* BreakTheCutie: Done to poor Phineas-2 off-camera. Possibly also Phineas-1 as well though we've yet to see that.
6* ADayInTheLimelight: This story is one for Ferb; in fact, that's part of the reason the author gives for Phineas' disappearance from a storytelling perspective: to give Ferb a chance to shine.
7* HopeSpot: In the Second Dimension, Ferb and Perry ''finally'' find Phineas... only it's not their Phineas but rather the one from the Second Dimension who's being blackmailed into working for Carl-2 and the organization he represents. Then they get dragged off to a new prison.
8* IHaveYourWife: How Carl-2 and his mysterious boss have kept Phineas-2 working for them.
9* GreaterScopeVillain: Whomever Carl-2 is working for is responsible for ''every'' villainous act up to Chapter 16.
10* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Candace's response to finding out about the panic caused by her disappearing with most of the neighborhood kids.
11* RedHerring: The magazine clipped note seems to point to Doofenshmirtz but he's uninvolved. Another example that's a [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzagged]] involves Khaka Peu Peu; [[spoiler:at first, he seems involved, then he seems cleared and then finally he's part of the posse behind everything.]]
12* WouldHurtAChild: Considering Carl-2 and his boss are forcing Phineas-2 to work for them by threatening Ferb-2, yeah; they qualify.
