Bus is the twenty-second episode of Season Two of Bluey.

Synopsis

During a game of bus, passenger Mum is too scared to tell bus driver Dad that she secretly loves him, until she gets some help from the Grannies.

Episode Recap

Warning Spoilers! ->

The episode begins with Bluey, Bingo, Mum (Chilli), and Dad (Bandit) playing pretend in their living room. Dad is the bus driver, and Mum is a passenger on her way to the museum. However, Mum secretly takes the bus every day because she has a secret love—the bus driver!

As the bus ride begins, Bluey and Bingo hop on, dressed as their granny alter egos, Janet and Rita. They shuffle to their seats, causing mischief along the way. While riding the bus, Bluey (as Janet) talks to Mum and pressures her to confess her secret love for the bus driver.

Bluey then starts pulling the stop cord over and over, deliberately delaying the trip so that Mum has more time to admit her feelings. This frustrates Dad, the driver, who threatens to kick them off at the museum if they keep causing trouble.

Just when things seem to be going back to normal, Bingo’s pretend pet snake, Boopsie, “attacks” Dad! In the chaos, Dad falls off the bus, leaving Bingo in control. She happily takes over driving, ignoring all traffic rules, much to Mum and Bluey's alarm.

Mum quickly helps Dad climb back onto the bus, but things get even worse when Bingo announces that she has “eaten” the brakes! Realizing they are out of control, Mum and Dad grab the grannies and jump off the bus, making a dramatic escape.

As they dust themselves off, Bluey asks Mum if she finally confessed her secret love. Mum cheekily says that she did—but it turns out that Dad is already "married" to a giraffe! In response, Bluey and Bingo "attack" Dad in frustration, ending the episode in playful chaos.

Trivia

• The music in the episode is "Here Come the Grannies", which is also the same music from Grannies.
• This is the second time Bluey and Bingo play their roles as grannies.
• The line "We're going to hit that custard factory!", said by Bandit, is likely a reference to his voice actor's band, Custard.
• Bus is the first episode to not have its title spoken in the title card. Bluey, as "Janet", instead says "this episode of Bluey is called... ah forget it.". * In some versions she says "I can't remember" instead
• Bus and BBQ are tied for having the shortest episode title.
• Prior to the title card, Bandit sings “The Wheels On The Bus”
• Near the end of the episode, a vinyl similar to The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens can be seen in the background.
• When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the US, it was paired with Mum School and Piggyback.
• After Bandit jumps back on the bus while Chilli is driving, he leans on the dashboard and driver's seat, making a similar pose to Keanu Reeves's character in the movie, Speed.
  • Coincidentally, this episode takes place on a bus that cannot slow down, which is similar to the plot of Speed.
• The episode's page on the official site has the character section show the girls in their granny attire and Chilli in a fancy hat.
