We've finished season 1! Now were recapping everything that happened, testing my Bluey knowledge, and talking about the best moments in season 1.

It is Christmas Eve, and Bluey tries to sneak over and peak at a present. Her dad catches her and tells her that Santa doesn’t give presents to naughty children—setting up the whole episode. Bluey, Bingo, and Muffin, then run off apologizing to people all over the place for knocking into them because they want Santa to know they are good kids. They play a game with Bandit and end up having a great time. But when Socks comes in and bites Bluey, Bluey gets bitter and sets out to teach socks a lesson. Bluey learns the real reason you should be nice to someone…and it’s not because Santa is always watching. It’s a good lesson for parents to not threaten kindness out of your kids, but rather to show that they ought to treat others the way they’d want to be treated.

Chilli is off to a baby shower, but Bluey does not want her to go. As soon as she leaves, Bluey misses her, so Bandit comes up with some games to distract her, but distraction only goes so far. Bluey asks her dad to call mom and ask her to come back, but as he does it, Bandit describes how much mom was looking forward to this, and Bluey thinks of what her mom wants and asks her dad to hang up. She then mirrors her mom and has a baby shower with some of her toys and it makes her feel much better. This is also a really great episode for the dynamic between Bandit and Bingo. But Bluey learns about missing someone you love and how to cope.

Bingo and Bluey want a pet. So Bandit, thinking it’s a wise move, employs the service of his hand to act as an emu named Shaun to show his kids how difficult a pet can be. Bandit takes the girls all over the house and the town and seems to annoy them but also amuse them. And it ends up tiring Bandit out way more, and he crashes in the late afternoon and just sleeps all the way till morning. It also ends up backfiring as both of the girls now use their hands to peck at Bandit because Shaun had babies, and now the girls can annoy Bandit just like he annoyed them. The girls kinda bypass the idea of having a pet anymore and elect to have fun poking dad with Shaun’s babies.

Bluey is not showing manners at the dinner table, so her dad keeps ragging on the girls and Chilli until Chilli gets a little annoyed and gives Bluey a magic asparagus. The veggie turns people into any animal you want. So Bluey then makes a game of it and starts turning her family into different animals until she is exhausted and learns that dogs are not animals and they need to exhibit manners at the table, because sometimes manners can order life and make is less tiring.

Bluey and Bingo are getting ready for bed when Bluey starts to tease Bingo a little bit. Bingo complains and the parents get involved telling them they they should not tease one another. Then the girls launch a campaign against their dad for all the things he does to tease them. After their list comes to a close, Bandit shows them how they are only telling half of the story, and we don’t hear what the difference is between teasing and play, but we know that it involves two people having fun, and we know the girls got a better grasp at what teasing is through this episode.

Bluey is playing a game of house in the playroom when Bingo comes in. She asks if anyone’s seen the couch cushions, but then joins Bluey building with the couch cushions Bluey has. Chilli enters, asking if anyone’s seen the couch cushions, then joins in the play with the girls. Then Bandit comes in, asking if anyone’s seen the couch cushions, and then joins in at the end of the playroom, to the incredible annoyance of Chilli. Bluey and Chilli learn how to live next to annoying neighbors in Bingo and Bandit, and the whole family learns the valuable lesson of what it takes to be a good neighbor, which is one of life’s greatest questions.

It’s bedtime, but Bingo cannot find her beloved floppy. And we all know how kids can get if they don’t have their favorite stuffy to sleep with during bedtime. So Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo retrace their steps story at a time. The story is strange at first, but as they keep retracing their steps, we get more of what happened during this weird and crazy day that the Heelers had together. Bingo learns that she has a bad memory, but if someone says just the right word, it will unleash her memory to be able to remember where she hid floppy.

Bandit brings Bingo and Bluey to the supermarket to get some shopping done. But in the car ride there the two kids have a debate about who is the favorite child—note it’s always the oldest. When Bandit tells them that parents can’t have a favorite, Bluey goes full takeover and plays a game where she is the mom and Bingo and her dad are her two kids. Bingo is clearly her favorite and she ends up saying that out loud and really hurting Bandit’s feelings (in the game). So Bluey learns a lesson about favoritism and treating people equally.

The family comes back from Crazy World, a theme park close by. The parents are exhausted after a long day with the kids, but the kids are still awake and ready to go. The ask to play one more game before bed and Bandit gives a condition that is has to be a game where he doesn’t have to move or speak with his mouth. So as mom and dad collapse on the couch, the girls decide to play Mount Mumandad—a game where they climb on their parents to reach the top (aka, Bandits nose). The girls learn that swiftness is not always as valuable as steadiness as the girls try to get to the top together.

The Heeler family is on a camping trip. And Bluey, playing down by the river, meets a puppy who speaks French and doesn’t know a lick of english. This doesn’t stop Bluey from becoming friends with this dog and spending a lot of time with him over the next three days. Only, Jean Luc has to leave without Bluey getting a chance to say goodbye. Bluey learns that there are people that are in our lives for a little bit and then leave, but it doesn’t mean we can’t remember the good times we had with those people. And as she goes back to that camping spot many years later, Jean Luc finds her as the episode ends and EVERYONE is in tears.

Bluey has ADHD. And she cannot focus long enough on a task to be able to play a game with her family. The game they want to play is hide and seek, but Bluey loses her focus and ends up getting sidetracked by another toy. It’s only when she’s able to calm her mind and remember what she was doing a few minutes ago, that she goes off to find her family who are hidden all over the house. The family has a fun moment of games, but Bluey learns a lesson that focus can sometimes show another person that you care for them.

Rusty and Indy are playing mums and dads (mum with a u, not an o). They end up getting in a small little tiff about who goes to work, the mum or the dad. And when they can’t resolve it, Calypso, in her wisdom, plots and tells them to go play with Bluey and Mackenzie. But those play partners end up being even more miserable and they don’t play the game how Rusty and Indy do. So they meet up again, and resolve their issues with the other person, and then take it one step further, compromising and saying rather than it being a weekday, it’s the weekend and no one has to go to work! Problem solved. The two realize they are destined for each other, and they really just learn about compromise, how to work together, and how some of the gender roles we have in our society are just made up things.

Rusty interrupted Bluey, Indy, and Honey’s game…or did he. Calypso acts as the mediator here as Bluey tells her story of how they were playing early baby and hospitals and Rusty came in with the baby when he shouldn’t have. But Rusty tells his side of the story where he battled a sausage dragon because it was eating villagers, and he bravely fought it to get the princess back for the king. And then did a swap with the baby the girls were playing with and the girls saw it and flipped out! And all it took for both of them to calm down was to understand the story of what each of them were doing. A great little episode about how perspective can change our attitudes toward another person.

It is time for a fun sleepover party. The girls are anxiously awaiting their cousin, Muffin, to come over and they have big plans to stay up later past their bedtime. But when Muffin comes over, they find that she’s skipped her nap and is exhausted. The girls still try to play with her and avoid going to bed early, but when Muffin is barely able to make it, Bluey hatches a plan to get Muffin into bed so that she can get the rest that she needs. The episode is all about consideration and how we should think about others in their need.

Bandit wakes up to find that Bluey is copying him in everything he does. So Bandit gets real funny and weird and tries to get Bluey to do some really funny and weird stuff. But as they are walking like speed walkers down the sidewalk, Bluey stops because she notices a budgie, or a bird, laying in the grass. It’s hurt. And Bandit grabs it and pops it in a shoebox to bring to the vet. Fully expecting the vet to heal them, the viewer is shocked when the doctor comes out and tells Bluey that the little budgie has died. The rest of the afternoon as Bluey goes home, she asks Bingo to help her play a game, and they essentially relive the day, with Bingo acting as the bird here, until they get to the part where the bird has died again. Chilli delivers the news, but Bingo comes popping out of the house and flies around all over the place. It helps to lighten the mood, but the emotional pull of this episode still stays true.

Bluey and Chloe are having an adventure at school. While some of the other kids are playing different games, Chloe and Bluey are playing princesses. But it’s not the kind of princess game you’d think. There is a famine in the land, so the princess needs to go to the outside world to get food. And the adventure begins as the princess battles, rivers, terriers, a sorcerer who freezes things, and many many other obstacles on their way to a farm to find food. The kids employ their imagination and learn to be brave and to persevere through difficult times.

Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks are all hanging out. Not sure where Stripe and Trixie are, but Bandit and Chilli seem to be watching over the whole gang. The kids learn what backpacking is and want to play a game where they are the backpacks and mom and dad are the backpackers. So the game is on, and the parents walk around from the markets, to the hotels and eventually to the bathroom where Bandit really needed to go. The kids look like they are having a blast as they make it more and more difficult for Bandit and Chilli to get stuff and do exactly what they want. Eventually the parents get to their room and are able to take a breather before they go for a hike (with the kids now as their boots) and the kids learn a lesson about what it means to go backpacking and to prepare for any and every circumstance.

It’s time to play zoo. Chilli is the mom, Bingo is the kid, Bluey is the zookeeper, and Bandit is the gorilla. Bandit is less than enthusiastic to play so Bluey prods him with a pool noodle to try to get him to move a little bit for the guests. It doesn’t work too much so they move on. But Bingo is intrigued and climbs into his cage where they develop a relationship. After the zookeeper notices, she grabs the hose and hoses Bandit down to try to stop him, but Bandit grabs Bingo and hops the fence in a beautiful slow motion masterpiece. The two end up on the run before a banana lures Bandit out of hiding and into captivity. The zookeeper recognizes the bond that they share though and while Bingo is sad as she goes to bed, Bluey brings the gorilla back to Bingo so they can share the love they have for each other. A strangely beautiful episode where the kids learn about the beautiful possibilities of what could have happened had Harambe lived.

Bandit needs to go to the dump to throw out some stuff, so Bluey and Bingo join in. On the car ride there, they have a ton of fun, Bandit convincing Bluey that he not only knows everything, but that he’s the best dad in the whole world. When they get to the dump, Bluey discovers that Dad is throwing away Bluey’s drawings, and Bandit quickly falls from being the best dad in the world, to the worst. Bluey is hurt, but Bandit lets her know a lesson about recycling that fixes everything, and when he distracts them by going through the car wash, the girls then change their tune again from worst dad ever, back to best dad ever. The girls learn about recycling, Bandit learns about vulnerability, and this episode had me wishing that my city had a dump like this.

Bluey, Bingo, and Bandit are all on the trampoline for a morning jumping sessions. They’re playing and having fun when Bandit lets them know he has to leave to go to work. He gets out of the trampoline and Bingo and Bluey persuade him to come back on to play another short game. This happens about three more times until Bandit really lets them know he has to go. The girls are super bummed and as Bandit gets ready to leave, Bluey comes up to him letting him know that she doesn’t want him to go to work. Bandit then tells her that her job is just as important as his, her job is to come up with fun games. And this unleashes a lot of creativity for Bluey as she goes back to the trampoline and creates a really fun game with her sister, so fun, in fact, that Chilli stops her gardening to join them. And Bluey learns the wonderful possibilities of creativity.

Bingo is sick in the hospital and Chilli is there with her. She’s super bummed out she has to stay for another night, but then dad sends a video to them. Bluey, Bandit, Stripe, Trixie, Muffin, Socks, Mackenzie, and Lucky all made a video for Bluey to make her feel a little less alone. It’s the tale about finding underpants from someone who has never been sick. This is actually a Buddhist tale and offers some wise advice. Bingo learns that she is not alone in her sickness and frustration and Bluey and the rest of the gang just do an immaculate job at comforting Bingo.

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.

This is a hand episode. We only see the characters acting with their hands for the majority of the episode, but Bandit is lying on the ground and Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo are all trying to get to the top of the Blue Mountains to find the softest warmest beds because it is getting cold outside. They journey on through heights, through caves, and through a cheeky fox trying to trick them up. Finally they make it to the warm beds—which are bandit’s ears and usually the softest fur on a dog for some reason—and they learn a lesson about taking care of each other and how big sisters need to look out for little sisters.

Bluey gets five bucks from the tooth fairy…even though she doesn’t look like she lost a tooth anywhere in her mouth. Her mom suggests that she spend it at the markets when they go later. So Dad, Bingo, and Bluey go and Bluey meets up with Indy and has a hard time trying to find something she wants to spend her money on. She ends up stress buying a toffee apple that she really doesn’t want. She regrets it and wishes she had the five bucks back to be able to put into the musician's guitar case so he can play another song that Bluey wants to dance to. But she already licked the toffee apple so there was no chance she can return that. But the five dollars makes its way around each of the vendors and into the dancing hands of Indy’s mom. She gives the five to Indy to tell her to put it in the musician's case, and Bluey learns that what goes around comes around…even if she doesn’t understand it.

The family are at a restaurant when Bluey and Bingo come across a claw machine—one of those machines you have to guide and you can get prizes when it grabs something. They quickly realize how rigged the game is and drive home very mad at the injustice of it all. While home, Chilli comes up with a home remedy game of the claw to try to put the girls in a better mood. Bingo loves it, but Bluey finds it a bit too easy. So dad makes the game much more difficult and the girls try to win a block that will give them bottomless ice cream sundays after dinner. Haha. Bottomless. Things go a bit awry after this, and no one really learns a lesson and the house is not cleaned. We’re just out here having fun.

So Bingo is the doctor and Bluey is the receptionist. Honey comes in and wants to see the doctor but she doesn’t really have anything wrong with her so Bluey tells her to make something up. Honey says her knee hurts and just as she’s about to go see the Doctor, someone else comes in with an issue that is a bit more urgent and serious than Honey. And that happens time after time after time, until Honey starts making the kids laugh out in the waiting room and the doctor comes to see what she’s doing and notices that it’s a serious issue and that the doctor needs to see Honey immediately. And Honey and the kids learn about playing to your strengths and just having a good old time.

This episode is centered around Bluey’s teacher, Calypso. Her and her students are all having story time, and when story time ends, they all get up and start playing doing different activities in different parts of the classroom. Calypso walks around and just observes and makes a few comments here and there. She gently directs the students to help each other and the students learn about economics and capitalism. In all honesty they do learn about those things but they also learn the important lessons of leaning on each other and collaboration.

Bandit is trying to get some work done from home today, but Bingo and Bluey keep distracting him to play. And every game that they play Bandit plays a little too rough with Bingo. Bingo gets a bit dazed and crawls under the tree bench where Chilli helps her discover her big girl bark. Now whenever dad plays a little too rough with Bingo, she can let him know. She’s the cutest, as we always say, and she learns a valuable lesson about confidence and speaking up.

Bandit is hanging a fabric swing on their big poinciana tree in the backyard. Bluey and Bingo are hanging out waiting for their dad to put it up so they can…swing. Judo, their neighbor pokes her nosy head over the hedges and asks what they are doing. Bluey then has the brilliant idea to play butterflies. Judo is a bit insecure and bossy, so she runs away from Bingo and Bluey follows along. All together the girls learn about friendship and how to treat each other so no one’s feelings are hurt.

Bandit, Bingo, and Bluey all go together to pick up some takeout—or take away as the Aussies say it. Unfortunately, the spring rolls are not ready yet and Bandit is not leaving without his spring rolls. They’ll be ready in five minutes which ends up feeling like an eternity for the girls as they try to find ways to entertain themselves. And Bandit learns the lesson that a person never has the chance to be young again, so they should soak up as much life as they can while they’re young.

Bingo, Bluey, Mackenzie, Chloe, and Honey are all playing a “spy game” at a BBQ between the families. Bluey and Mackenzie are the spies, Chloe and Honey are the guards, and Bingo is collecting the potion grass. The purpose of the game is to collect a hair from every adult dog and with enough potion grass the kids should be able to control whatever the adults are doing with two sticks dug into the ground. Sounds ridiculous, but it might actually be real. Bingo gets fed up with collecting the potion grass as she wants to be a spy, and she quits. And Bluey needs to learn the valuable lesson of teamwork and leadership.

Bingo gets to bring home Bob Bilby—a little bilby sock puppet. She is supposed to take pictures of all the fun things her and Bob do during the weekend and put them in the album the rest of her classmates have created during their weekends with Bob Bilby. But the girls get sucked into their screens, and after Chilli takes some pictures and shows them, Bingo is upset because Bob Bilby is having the worst weekend ever while with the Heelers. Bluey helps and puts the screens away for the rest of the weekend, and the family has adventures to last a lifetime and enough memories to put in the book to make all the other kids jealous of the weekend Bob Bilby spent with the Heelers.
