"But I love my dog teeth!" |
Driving is the twentieth episode of the third season of Bluey.
Synopsis[1]
Bluey and Mum race against the clock to buy milk for Agatha.
Bluey wants to play ‘Driving’, but it’s going to have to be quick as Mum only has five minutes spare.
With Mum on the ground as the car and Bluey in her lap as the driver, at first the game is fun but falters because they’re driving around without purpose.
To stop it from fizzling, Bluey decides to have a tea party with a grumpy guest, Agatha the cat. Racing against the clock, they must buy her some almond milk and escape an angry shopkeeper or Agatha will pee on their curtains!
They return home happily with their purchase, but it’s too late to stop Agatha carrying out her threat.
Episode Recap
Warning Spoilers!
Chilli sits on the floor with her arms held forward. Bluey gets in her "car" and puts her seat belt on, Chilli uses her feet as pedals, her left foot being the brake and her right being the acceleration pedal. Bluey starts driving along. Suddenly, it starts raining, so Chilli moves Bluey's paws from side to side as the windscreen "wipers". Shortly after they hit a red light, the windscreen is wiped again. Chilli suggests Bluey to turn on the radio, which she does. Chilli starts singing a sophisticated opera, then she becomes Kelly C and talks in a less formal tone. The light turns green as Madge calls Chilli back. Chilli asks Bluey if she's happy with ending the game as Chilli isn't good at playing a game without an objective; which Bluey responds in the positive. Bluey gets an idea and calls her mum over to ask Agatha the grumpy cat for a cup of tea. Agatha accepts the tea and then demands Almond Milk from the shop, threatening to pee on Bluey's curtains if she doesn't get what she wants in the next 5 minutes.
Chilli and Bluey gasp in terror and immediately start driving to the shop. It starts raining hard, too hard for Bluey to see, so she turns the wipers on. Suddenly Bluey has to drive up the hill. Chilli simulates the hill getting steeper by slowly laying back with Bluey and then jolting back up to go down the hill. They get to the shop, Bluey asks if she can park in a disabled space which Chilli rejects. To Bluey's horror, the shop is closed, so she rams into the shop despite Chilli's protests, they get through the shop, Chilli lays down with Bluey, wiping the windscreen again. Bluey gets out her "car" and grabs the almond milk, Chilli reminds Bluey she has to pay for it so Bluey leaves some money on the floor and sees the shopkeeper looking annoyed at Bluey, so she runs back into her "car" and floors her mum's right foot to get home as soon as possible since Agatha is only seconds away from peeing on Bluey's curtains.
Bluey puts on some fast driving music, Chilli starts beat boxing in a smooth, electronic tone and making Bluey move her arms a little to the music. The song is interrupted with a duck on the road. Bluey avoids the duck which takes Chilli off all 4 wheels so Bluey has to lean outside to get her "car" back on the ground. Much to Chilli and Bluey's dismay the shopkeeper is still chasing after them, Chilli suggests that Bluey throws some milk from the carton in the shop keeper's face, though she reminds her mum that Agatha wants the milk. Chilli disappointedly asks if Agatha would really pee on Bluey's curtains. Bluey reassures her that Agatha is not messing around. So Bluey throws some milk at the shopkeeper which stops him, making sure to leave enough milk for a cup of tea. To Bluey and Chilli's horror they reach a traffic jam so Bluey puts flight mode on, Chilli stretches her arms out to simulate a plane's wings, the timer runs out and the two get back home. Bluey tries to get up but she's still got her seat belt on, so she unstraps herself and runs in to give Agatha her cup of tea but much to Bluey's dismay, Agatha had already peed on Bluey's curtains.
Chilli offers Bluey help cleaning the curtains but Bluey says it's fine, The two of them hug and thank each other, Madge calls Chilli back and Bluey goes to Agatha, they simultaneously say "Let's sort this out" and then the episode finishes.Appearances
Trivia
- Chilli's ringtone is the same one used on PAW Patrol.
- The radio station B107 is a reference to Brisbane radio station B105.
- When Bluey spots the shopowner for the first time, she points at the camera, breaking the fourth wall; afterward, every time she or Chilli acknowledges the shopowner, either would point at the camera, suggesting the viewer is the shopkeeper. Additionally, Bluey squirts the milk at the camera.
- When Bluey activates flight mode in her car, it is likely a reference to the car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, featured in the 1968 musical film of the same name.
- A postcard of the Taj Mahal can be seen on the Heeler’s refrigerator at the beginning of the episode, which they likely received from Grandpa Bob while he was in India.
