Featherwand is the third episode of the second season of Bluey.
Synopsis
Bluey and Mum are off to Chloe's party and Bingo isn't invited. But armed with a magic featherwand that makes things incredibly heavy, Bingo can now stop them leaving the house.
Episode Recap
Bandit is preparing Bluey's breakfast. He asks her if she wants cereal, but there's no response; right, she wants cereal. As he steps into the kitchen, Bandit is immediately outweighed by the box of cereal, partly because Bingo has indeed made it heavy. Bandit tries, but fails, to pick it up, so he scoops the cereal with his hands. However, the bowl he was holding gains a ton of weight too, sending him into the ground. Bingo exits the scene, not before making a spoon heavy.
Bingo sneaks into the bathroom, where Bluey prepares, and makes her toothbrush heavy. She dips into the tub behind her sister as Bluey finds out the hard way that her toothbrush is now mega-heavy. Given that she has to clean her teeth, Bluey is forced to use the grounded toothbrush to brush.
Chilli, needing the address, is looking for the party invitation. Bingo finds it and slides it in, but makes it heavy the moment her mum picks it up. She's resigned to writing it on her hand, but the pen she picked up was made heavy too. Bingo runs off with a giggle as Chilli struggles to write the address.
Back at the kitchen, Bandit, now using a broom, struggles to pick up the spoon, as Bluey arrives, toothpaste all over her mouth. She's told to eat her floor cereal, which she does; she exclaims that this is the best morning ever! Chilli joins the party, suspecting that something weird is indeed going on- oh, wait, there's Bingo, and she's just made Bandit's broom heavy! Now trapped, Bandit can't get out as Bluey and Chilli give chase.
The chase goes to the living room and the stairs, but Bingo grabs the yoga ball and makes it heavy! Chilli and Bluey are forced to dodge it, Indiana Jones-style, as Bingo laughs evilly and plots her next move in her domination of the Heeler house. Bluey comes up with a plan - they'll rush the car while Bandit "Bugalugs" Heeler distracts Bingo. Bandit, who has now freed himself from the confines of the broom, gets Bluey and Chilli, present in-hand, out the house as Bingo rushes in - she shall not pass! She hops into Bandit's arms as he exclaims that the job was rather easy. However, she makes herself heavy. Too soon, Bandit.
Chilli tries to search for the car keys as Bingo draws closer. The moment she grabs them, however, Bingo makes them heavy! Meanwhile, Pat is walking down the footpath as he's approached by Bluey, who asks him to intercept Bingo. Dropping all his plans, Pat prepares the charge to freedom! He charges in, Naruto-style and prepared for everything. However, he is soon inconvenienced by the feeling of a thousand weights replacing his hat, and Pat soon falls. Bingo now charges towards the car, but is intercepted by Bandit, who tries his best to stop her from heavying... Anything. Important. It's all or nothing now.
Bingo's aim is haphazardous but determined to make things heavy, heavy, heavy! Bandit moves her all the way around so she doesn't heavy anything important (well she's heavied his bumcheeks) but...
Heavy.
She's heavied Chloe's present. Checkmate, mate. Bluey and Chilli surrender, but is surprised when she unheavies everything and the present itself with a realization: she's made her own fun. However, Bluey is now stuck at a crossroads - she doesn't want to miss out on the party, nor her sister's games. However, Bingo allows her to go, for she'll do something to Bandit with the featherwand with her when she gets back. With that, Bluey sets off for Chloe's party, with Bandit concerned.
Later, Bluey comes back from the party with a gift bag. Bingo is initially sad that she missed out, but is at peace with that. After all, they've still got the thing they've got to do with Bandit! Indeed, as he goes to the toilet, he finds the toilet seat has been sealed shut by the newly found heaviness of the ceramic. As he can't wedge it open, he's forced to rush outside and...
...pee in the bushes. He is spotted by Wendy, who he greets.
