Episode Recap
Warning Spoilers!
Bluey and Bingo are having a night bath with Bandit closeby reading a parenting book. Chilli walks in and tells the duo to get out the bath, for it's time for bed, but Bingo tells her that they were about to play a game called 'Burger Shop'.
It's gonna be tough for them, as they're in need of sleep. Chilli asks Bandit if he can earn his keep, but he tells her he won't, 'cause he's done being a meanie parent, as his new parenting book tells him to not boss the kids around. Bluey, who heard him say that, tells him that she likes the book.
He continues telling Chilli about what the book says; one of which is that parents should let kids make their own decisions, Chilli, knowing it will definitely lead to something crazy, wishes him luck before leaving. Bluey and Bingo then finish their burger shop as Bandit walks over. Bluey asks him his order; he explains that he'll let the children make their own decisions. He then tells her that if she stays in the bath late, she'll be tired and grumpy in the morning, and if the two get out right now, they'll be happy in the morning. Bluey thinks about it, before asking him his order once again. This is going to be a long night. Bandit agrees to the game, under one condition: it's quick, with speedy service.
Bandit orders one burger, and Bluey asks if he wants to add in extra chips. As Bluey relays the order to Bingo, the chef, Bandit asks her if she's not going to go out of the bath, to which she answers a quick "nope". The order is five dollarbucks; Bandit pays up, and Bluey swims over to the other side of the tub and back to deliver him his order, splashing him with water in the process. Bandit enjoys the burger as he tries to convince Bluey to make a good decision here.
Suddenly, Chilli pops in and admonishes the kids for not getting out the tub earlier and is going to pull the plug herself, but Bandit stops her before she is able to reach the plug and leads her outside. With Chilli out of the picture, Bandit remarks that she's indeed a meanie, a statement echoed by the kids. Bandit puts his trust in Bluey to make the good decision, and she does reinforce this, finally getting out. Well, she isn't really getting out yet. There's a business to be run here!
She flogs another burger to him despite him already having finished one just now, reasoning that the burger was so good, he wanted another. Can't argue with that... oh, and the chips are compulsary. Five dollarbucks, identical delivery process, and the meatiness of the burgs and crispiness of the chips themselves. A testimonial is provided by Bandit as he chows down rather quickly. Reason? He's got things to do; the mission - make sure they get out of the tub themselves. Bluey is hit with a milisecond of desperation as she scrambles to sell Bandit another meal...
Indeed, business is business - Bluey flogs him a "new" burger (now with 100% more pickles!) The burg looks good - and it's only five dollarbucks! But Bandit's strapped for dollarbucks, so Bluey sells the burg for free before Bandit could tell her she needs to get out the pool again. Bingo protests against such a giveaway and a refund, so Bluey becomes a banker so Bandit can borrow some from the bank. Bluey gives him extra when he mentions burgers - a good deal! Bandit is able to buy the burg, enjoying its pickle bonanza. Bluey hands him another, but he's full and the kids really need to go ou-
Wait, did she say free toys?
Bandit is immediately sold and gets the toy as Bluey asks him his order once again. Bluey flogs him two toys (gotta collect them all, after all!) and shoots an order towards the freezing chef for two burgers (oh and she's made a surplus at this point) and soon Bluey herself is now freezing (her reasoning: "I'm a blue... heeler!") Yeah this isn't going to help matters much. Bandit reminds Bluey of his plight, but the girl isn't finished - there's a lot more burgers to sell. Bandit takes their entire stock and eats it all in one go - now there's no more burgers to sell. NOW they can go out... after he pays a lump sum of a hundred dollarbucks. He's strapped for dollarbucks once again.
Gotta. Be. Done. Bandit is now in the tub and is freezing himself, scrubbing all the dirty dishes, and Chilli pops back inside, admonishing him and the kids once again. She'll pull the plug! It's seven o'clock, the kids are meant to be out of the bath and on the bed and Bandit isn't even meant to be inside with them! Bandit, going by the book, reminds her it says the kids should make their own choices, but Chilli tells him the kids are still in preschool. The kids can do it, regardless... right?
A bit of thinky time later, and they finally concede... only to open a taco shop in its place. That's. It. Bandit, despite initial resistance, pulls the plug and tosses away the book - high time he's gotten rid of it. The kids are now in their towels - which makes them look like their granny persona in this way - and Bluey apologises for not exiting the bath sooner. Bandit apologises for not making the kids get out - he'll be a meanie for a bit longer.
Bluey and Bingo rub their towels and take them off, making their back fur look like that of a hedgehog's. They both get into position for a game of Hedgehogs, which Bandit agrees to - this time, a quick game for real life this time.
