Episode Recap
It's Dinner at the Heelers', and as soon as Bandit gets there, he's excited for the steak but is quickly stopped by Chilli because Bluey and Bingo have a song to sing from kindergarten, then Bluey wants to play a game of Favourite Thing, where everyone says their favourite thing that happened that day.
Bluey says hers first. It was from morning tea, when Bingo was trying to eat cherry tomatoes with her fork and ended up saying "This is trifficult!" Everyone except for Bingo starts laughing because she said a mix of "tricky" and "difficult." They laugh more, but Bingo is upset and runs to her room. Chilli follows to make her feel better, while Bluey can't understand why Bingo is upset, because she didn't mean to hurt anyone. Bandit explains that Bingo mistook it for the family laughing at her. Bandit then says that Bingo will be ok and Bluey should eat her dinner.
Bingo returns. Bluey then checks in with Bingo to see how she is, but she's obviously still upset and doesn't want to talk about her favourite thing. So, to make her feel better, Bluey changes her favourite thing to something that wasn't at morning tea but at afternoon tea.
The Heelers were having a BBQ. Chilli wanted Bluey and Bingo to eat some alfalfa to stop them from getting sick. Bluey wouldn't stop calling her parents "Dude," which was annoying for Chilli and Bandit. Bandit remarks, "That was a fun 3 hours." Bluey is the only one laughing, while Bingo has a little smile, but she still isn't feeling better.
It’s now Chilli’s turn, so Bluey asks her if she could do one where Bingo does something funny in it. So she chooses a moment at lunch at a restaurant. Bingo did a trick with Chilli where she cleans Bingo’s toilet. Bluey and Bandit laugh, but Chilli is still disgusted. Bingo does chuck a true grin, though, but is still upset. Bluey asks her if she's ready to say her favourite thing, but she shakes her head no.
Bandit decides to tell everyone his least favourite thing from the day. He was changing the light bulb in the bathroom when Bingo came in and got him to say "Dad knows nothing." Everyone laughs, even Bingo for a moment, and Bandit himself smiles. But Bingo is still upset.
So Bluey decides to say what her real favourite thing was, and she proceeds to tell a fanciful tale about what happened at morning tea. Bingo was trying to eat cherry tomatoes with her fork, said "This is difficult," and then accidentally launched one of the tomatoes into the air. It just so happened that at that moment Bandit happened by, carrying Jeremy the garden gnome. The tomato flew across the yard and hit Bandit in the forehead, knocking him and the garden gnome to the ground. Just then, they all noticed that a pink hippo was falling from the sky right toward the gnome, prompting Bandit to say, "Jeremy, no!"
"Who will save Jeremy from the falling hippo?" asked Chilli.
"I will!" shouted Bingo, activating her jet pack and flying into the sky, catching the hippo and bringing it in for a safe landing beside the gnome. Chilli thanked Jet Pack Bingo, who gave a smile and a thumbs-up as Bandit kissed the hippo's bottom and told it he loved it.
Bandit says he doesn't remember any of that happening while everyone else laughs. including Bingo. Bluey sees Bingo laughing and is glad she's happy again, but she really isn't. Bluey says it isn't fair, because she's tried over and over to cheer Bingo up. Bingo says she can't help it. Chilli tells Bluey that Bingo isn't trying to make her feel sad, and Bingo runs away from the table and behind a kitchen cabinet. Bluey wants to know why Bingo's sad, because Bluey thought she fixed her, but Chilli tells her that you can't always fix people and that she should eat her dinner.
Bluey says she doesn't feel like eating now, so Bandit says there's more for him and eats some steak off Bluey's plate. Chilli tells him he shouldn't do that because she's upset, but Bandit says she's easy to cheer up, calling her "Dude," which makes Bluey laugh hysterically. He keeps doing it, even calling Chilli "Dude," to her consternation, and Bluey can't stop laughing. Bingo watches this happening and giggles.
Bingo comes back, and she and Bluey call each other "Dude" as Bingo starts to eat again. She asks if it's her turn to say her favourite thing, but Bluey suggests they not play that game but that they should instead say their favourite thing that's happening right now. Bandit says they should stop living in the past and live in the now, dude, and Chilli wants him to stop calling them "Dude." Bluey tells Bingo it's her turn, so she tries to think of her favourite thing that's happening right now, but she can't. Just as Bandit takes a drink of water, Bingo says, "This is trifficult," and Bandit spits the water out onto the floor.
As everyone but Bandit laughs, Bingo says that's her favourite thing.
