Canon[]
Put That Putter Away
Isabella and Baljeet disco danced together on the miniature golf course.
What Do It Do?
When the kids were trying to find out what the mysterious one-eyed robot machine did, they wondered if it functioned as a waiter. Baljeet jumped at the chance to have a romantic candle-lit dinner with Isabella, revealing that he has a huge crush on her. Isabella was perplexed by Baljeet's excitement for dating her, even if it was only a staged dinner, saying that he charged at the table like a crazed bull. However, Baljeet denied this, claiming that he and Isabella were "randomly chosen" to represent the happy couple, trying to put into Isabella's mind that there are some sorts of cosmic forces in the universe trying to bring them together. As for the robot thing, he didn't really work out well as a waiter, as all he did was try to steal the candle from their table.
Not Phineas and Ferb
In the absence of Phineas and Ferb, Buford and Baljeet had to pretend to be them, when Irving was introducing Albert to them. Baljeet pretended to be Phineas and said and did all the same things he would normally do in that situation. After Albert left, Baljeet asked Isabella if he did a good job at pretending to be Phineas and Isabella broke to him that he absolutely did not.
Ask a Foolish Question
Isabella used the mind-reading super computer and was thinking about Phineas. Baljeet used the mind-reading super computer and was thinking about Isabella, using the mind-reading super computer to think about a bunny rabbit. However, the screen that Isabella was using turned into her true love, Phineas, which made Baljeet mad. This further hinted that Baljeet had a crush on Isabella.
Phineas and Ferb Interrupted
Isabella admitted that she found Baljeet incredibly boring, not caring for any of his mathematics or scientific technobabble. Baljeet spat back at Isabella, sarcastically telling her that her fireside girl patches must be "sooooo thrilling". This spicy altercation enthralled Buford, as he was reveling in the "cat fight"!
Let's Bounce
Candace was mad that Phineas accidentally shot her with his anti-gravity ray, making her float. Isabella inappropriately brought up that it would be a lot of fun if everyone shot themselves with the ray and made themselves weightless too. Baljeet politely cut her off, telling her that this was just not the right time to talk about that.
Bully Bromance Breakup
Baljeet announced to the group that he was going to climb Mt. Danville without the use of any of Phineas and Ferb's inventions. Isabella was quickly put off by this, concerned for Phineas and Ferb's well-being without using inventions for the day. When Baljeet climbed up the mountain, Isabella exclaimed "Baljeet rocks!" only for Baljeet's bungee cord to snap and for him to fall back down to the ground, hurting himself. Isabella corrected himself and stated that Baljeet "rocked", past-tense, having lost all her respect for him as a human being.
Bully Bust
Isabella fawned over Phineas using overcomplicated words in his speech. Baljeet used overcomplicated words too, seemingly to try and impress her. However, Isabella just frowned at him and told him that it wasn't as cute when he did it. Baljeet admitted that he was cognizant of this.
Act Your Age
Baljeet commented on just how obvious it was that Isabella had a crush on Phineas. He brought up how Isabella's eyes literally formed the shapes of hearts, which he didn't even know was scientifically possible. Baljeet also helped the rest of the friends set up a table for a romantic dinner between Phineas and Isabella, proving that he had eventually gotten over his love for her.
Fanon[]
Baljeet and Isabella's ship is uncommon in the fandom, with only 3 known stories of them existing on AO3. The ship is mostly fueled by a few very minor hints that Baljeet has a crush on Isabella in the show, such as Baljeet's overt love for Isabella in "What Do It Do?". However, the writers never really went anywhere with Baljeet's crush on Isabella and it was completely forgotten about. Their interactions would later go on to be largely overshadowed by Phinabella and Gingeet, keeping this small romantic interaction nearly lost in P&F lore. The only thing keeping this romantic connection alive are what little shipping stories they have in fanfiction.
