Synopsis
It's time for a family game of hide and seek. Everyone hides, while Bluey counts to twenty, but will she be able to stay focused on the game and not get distracted by all her toys.
Episode Recap
In the backyard, Bluey is with her dad, having a discussion about how to not get distracted; he uses the garden gnome as an example. Bluey claims that not getting distracted is easy, but she immediately snaps her attention to a passing dragonfly. She comes by Bingo, who's put a carrot on her head as an unicorn horn. Bluey rallies the family into playing a game of hide and seek. Bluey's going to be the seeker... oh. She's had a history of being distracted while playing hide and seek. She must promise not to let a thing happen again... what could go wrong?
Bingo hides inside the toy box; Bandit inside the cupboard; and Chilli in the shower. Could Bluey find them all before day's end? Bluey pops by Bingo's hiding spot, but she picks up a tennis ball instead. However, she snaps back to the objective at hand, walking away. Bingo is safe, for now. Living room... kitchen... kitchen. While looking through the cupboards inside, she finds a stray Chattermax, which was placed within for an unknown reason. She picks it up and it immediately demands food, so Bluey goes off to give it such.
She walks by Bingo's spot again... and she looks into Bingo's hiding spot. Instead of finding Bingo, who she literally exposes within the box, she sets off to find some food for the chattermax. There goes the objective. Bingo is very unimpressed. Bluey is about to go back to playing hide and seek, but the chattermax needs to go to the dunny, tossing the objective out the window further. Bluey puts the chattermax on the toilet, allowing it to do its business. Bluey walks by Bandit, and is about to go ba- Oh, the chattermax has finished using the dunny. Now Bluey goes into the upstairs dunny to allow the chattermax to wash its hands- wait, is that Chilli in the shower we see? Oh, she's forgotten what she was doing!
She goes off to play with the chattermax instead, having a tea party with it. However, it goes off and Bluey needs to shut it off now. However, she needs help... help she can't get, for the others are still hiding. Going to the backyard, she laments her situations as she notices the garden gnome from earlier. Getting an idea, she puts the chattermax down and goes to concentrate...
She now remembers her objective: find the others in hide and seek.
She easily finds the others (Bandit drops his phone in total surprise). Some time later, the family reminisce about their hiding experience. and Bluey her experience of getting distracted once again. The family shares a laugh as Bingo throws her hat into the ring as a seeker... but Bingo can only count to 14! Bluey immediately sights the dragonfly from earlier, but runs off. Bluey and Chilli are shown hiding in the cupboard in the hallway as Bingo finds them... in the bin! Bluey tells Chilli she put the chattermax somewhere peaceful; next to the garden gnome.
Soon, Bingo finds them!
