Episode Recap
Warning Spoilers!
Bluey and Bingo are being tucked into their beds by their parents, who say that tomorrow is Easter. Bingo is concerned though, worried that The Easter Bunny will forget about them, like they did last year. The parents point to the letter which was left to them, explaining why he was late, and they guarantee that they won't be forgotten. The parents say goodnight (albeit after knocking over some glitter on the floor), and after they have left, Bingo asks Bluey why they were the only ones to be forgotten last time, and if The Easter Bunny will remember them this time. To which Bluey replies, "Yeah. I do". Bluey falls asleep, though Bingo stays awake for a little while longer.
Morning breaks and the girls wake up. They immediately question whether The Easter Bunny came, and are saddened to see that their bags (or Easter Pouches) are empty. Upon closer inspection, however, a box (empty) is in Blueys and a letter B inside of Bingos. Bluey puts the two together, and they sisters run to the letterbox. Inside of the letterbox is a Chatterbox, and inside of that is a sticker of an egg, with a sticker cooks hat on it, which Bluey takes to meaning that the eggs are in the kitchen.
The girls run in as both parents are preparing food, and sift through draws to find the eggs, until Bingo points out that all the magnets on the fridge are shapped into one large egg. They look inside, and no eggs can be found. Upon closer inspection though, a kiwi can be seen in the egg box. They take the kiwi to their dad (who was cutting fruit anyway) and ask if chocolate is inside of it: there is not. Bluey, however, keeps thinking and runs into the Playroom with her sister in tow, and they head to The Kiwi Rug. They look underneath it and around it, but to no avail. This time though, Bingo notices an arrow on the rug pointing to the garden, and thus the girls head outside.
The girls split up in the garden, with Bingo noticing a sandcastle in the sandpit and Bluey noticing that the pointseanna flowers are in suspiciously straight lines. The girls head upstairs to the balcony outside the kitchen and see that the flowers are shaped like a castle, where Bingo remembers the sandpit. They head back down and dig underneath the sandcastle, only to find toilet paper, but with eggs on them. They head to the bathroom, but find nothing (aside from the multipack said toilet paper came in), when the girls come to the realisation that they must head to the other bathroom: Their Dads toilet.
Bandit is using the facilities (with an open window), and the girls hyperbolically worry about whether they will return from there alive. Bingo realises though that unless someone goes in, then there will be no Easter, which gives Bluey the courage needed to go in and look for clues. She enters, and finds a shape drawn onto the mirror. She draws this on a sheet of paper which she gives to Bingo, who recognises it immediately as (and thus they run to) their stained window. Bluey points out that they've already checked their bedroom, and Bingo comes to the sad realisation that The Easter Bunny must have forgotten them again. Bingo takes the blame, who says that she's a small forgettable child, but Bluey shuts her down, by saying that she's smart, and that she figured out the castle by herself. Bluey then blames herself, but Bingo point's out that she went into the toilet, making her brave. They realise together that they're not forgettable children, but "rememberable". They hug, and just then, Bluey notices footprints in glitter, coming from their drawings of the previous night. They know what to do, and run into the study. They push the yoga ball out the way, and under the desk lies a basket of treats, chocolate and books.
The Easter Bunny remembered them after all.
