Obsession: Bluey

Bingo and Bluey become employees at their dad's pipe company. Bluey is a lazy, power-hungry worker, and Bingo is a frog. Eventually, the game shifts so that Bluey is the boss and she makes her dad do a lot of really strange things, like lick the floor, clean the windows with his bum, and she eventually fires him and kicks him out of the house. Bingo, feeling bad for her dad, hatches an elaborate ruse to cheer him up and she gets him to start dancing, which catches the eye of the pavlovian dancer, Chilli, who then hires him to dance for the night and all of Bandits dreams have come true. The whole gang learns about work, power, and helping out people in need even if it doesn’t help you at all.

Bingo is making a domino heart for her dad. It’s a love heart. And she wants her dad to knock down them down. She runs over to him, but he’s on the phone and loses patients with Bingo. A rare moment for Bandit. Then the episode gets weird. There appear to be real fairies messing up the things around the house because Bandit did something to upset the fairies. A lot of this episode you think it’s Bingo, but there is no way. There’s just too many things that get done that make it an impossibility for it to have been Bingo. And together the family learn that they need to dance around the letterbox in order to appease the fairies. So they do and Bandit validates the hurt that Bingo is going through and this episode is just an episode of love and beauty.

Bingo, Bluey, and Mackenzie are kind of bored playing in the playground. So they ask Bandit if he can play with them all right before Mackenzie has the brilliant idea to go to the creek. Bandit likes the idea so he goes along with it and with Bingo, on he treks into the wild to do some bush bashing. Mackenzie follows, but Bluey is a bit nervous—I mean there are drop bears, uneven ground, and leeches that eat your blood. But as she gets comfortable a bit more and takes steps of bravery, she realizes that the creek is beautiful. Even if she didn’t quite realize it before, she now understands how beautiful the world is.

Bingo is just in the backyard enjoying some flossing. She’s practicing a bit when Bluey comes up to her and asks if she wants to play grannies. Bingo obliges and the girls then proceed to be two destructive grannies. Bingo comes out of character every once in a while to floss again and the age old question arises: can grannies floss? They recruit the help of Nana and Bob and when they discover that Grannies can’t indeed floss, Bingo is a little annoyed and leaves the game. Bluey is upset that Bingo left but also knows that she's right, so she remedies that by having Nana learn how to floss and Bingo is super happy about it and they keep playing. They barrel Bandit over with their car, he hurts something in his back, and the girls stand there and floss as Chillis helps Bandit and they both dream together of their future of flossing when they’re old and gray.

The Heeler family is at the park and they have brought their Shih Tzu friend, Missy. The girls have the great idea to play pirates on the hammock swing, but Missy has never played and is a little nervous. So the girls jump on the hammock as mom narrates and dad runs the special effects. The story goes on as the waves crash into the boat (the hammock) and Missy gets a little scared. Bandit tries to urge Missy to overcome her fear and Chilli knows that she will in her own time. And Missy does just that. At Bingo and Bluey’s most dire moment, when they get trapped in the belly of a blue whale, Missy comes down to help them out in a moment of bravery. And the girls tickle the blue whale and the gang encourage Missy to overcome her fears and show bravery…Bandit needs to learn the same lessons.

The Heeler clan is headed to the beach. Bingo, Bluey, and Bandit all get there a little bit earlier as they ride on a skateboard, and mom is behind them, taking her time, walking at her own pace. The family then has a great day at the beach and half way through the day, Chilli decides to go for another walk down the beach. Bluey is confused why she likes walking by herself, and Chilli says she doesn’t, she just does. So she starts walking. Bluey then finds a shell and decides she wants to go show mom, Bandit lets her run to mom, which is one of the first moments of independence for Bluey here, and she has an adventure as she runs a solid mile on the beach chasing after her mom. They meet and Bluey shows her the shell and she learns about independence and the niceness of a hug.

It’s a rainy day and Bandit needs a Taxi to get to the airport. Bluey happens to be his Taxi driver, and she’s a very patient and goofy driver. She welcomes a rich lady (played by Bingo) into the Taxi and they drive around everywhere and get lost, Bandit getting more and more upset and frustrated by the minute. There’s bad GPS, wrong stops, mechanical issues, old ladies crossing the street, and they run out of gas. So Bandit ditches the Taxi and runs to the airport to find his worst nightmare has come true…The rich lady is sitting right next to him on the flight and Bluey is the pilot!

Bluey and Bingo wake up early, crawl on their parents bed, wake up Bandit, almost wake up Chilli, and ask if they can go to the Monkey Bars. Bandit wakes up, seizing the day, and takes them in a wagon to the park—which looks to be about a mile away. Along the way, Bandit stops to talk to some adults he sees pass him up and Bluey gets really frustrated they keep stopping. But Bandit tells her to look at what her sister is doing and Bluey grows not only in patience, but in the ability to make the most of opportunities as they come along.

Mackenzie and Bluey are essentially going to kill each other. Mackenzie, Bluey, Honey, and Chloe all run out into this magical forest and decide to play shops. And every time they start to play, Bluey stops the game to try to figure out some of the rules. This frustrates Mackenzie to no end and he ends up quitting and sulking by a tree. After a bit of humility from Mackenzie, he comes back and him and Bluey both agree to some middle ground. The kids learn about compromise and working together and we also learn that Rusty is just the coolest one out of this whole group for the few seconds that he’s in the game.

It’s a hot day in the Bluey-verse. And as the girls are lying around trying not to move because it’s way too hot, Bandit walks in and says that Uncle Stripe is letting them use their pool while they're away in Bali. The girls go with dad and leave mom behind but mom tells them to bring the bag with all the boring pool stuff they need. Dad is big picture, and just leaves without it, thinking about how much fun they’re going to have in the pool. And when the girls get to Uncle Stripes house with dad, everything starts to slowly go wrong until it’s too much for Bandit to handle. But right in the nick of time, mom is there to save the day with all the stuff they left behind. And Bluey learns a valuable lesson about how the boring things are still very important and can make fun experiences even more fun.
