Library is the thirtieth episode of the second season of Bluey.
Synopsis
When Muffin is told that she is special by her Dad, she interprets it as an excuse to do anything she wants, which means playing Bluey and Bingo's game of Library her way.
Episode Recap
It's a rainy day in Queensland, where Muffin is on her way to Bluey and Bingo's house - it's a playdate with her cousins! Muffin warns her dad about the impending orange light, but he decides to drive through it instead. That earns him a scolding from his daughter, who reiterates that if the light is orange, he needs to slow down and stop. However, Stripe insists that it's a "special case" - now interested, Muffin asks her dad if she's special, and she is told she's the most special kid in the whole world.
"Oh, intewesting!"
They arrive and Muffin walks inside, tracking mud into the house. She doesn't need to wipe her feet as she's indeed special. Muffin walks into the living room, fully kitted out in library mode. Bluey walks her through the setup, but Muffin continually is speaking rather loudly. Bluey gives her cousin a library card, but she insists on a pink one. Once she gets her card, Muffin sets off to choose some books, but she runs the Cat Squad Bike into Bingo's bean bag. After all, the Cat Squad is here for your purr-tection... unless you're in a library where you can't make noise. Bingo's pop-up book comes up with a set of dinosaurs, which interests Muffin to the point of her trying to wrestle the book away from her cousin. This isn't going to work out in Muffin's favor, so she complains to the parents about the predicament. However, Bluey insists she's including Muffin in her gane, but she's just not playing properly. Stripe remarks that "everyone has their own way of playing," which earns him a brief little glare off Chilli. Bluey is told to let Muffin play how she wants, handing her the pop-up book either way.
It's now time to doot the books for borrowing. While Bingo does it three books at a time, Muffin decides to take the entire stock. Soon, it's Toddler Time, and all Bluey has is what seems to be a law-related book she got from Bandit's office. Gotta be done. However, Muffin continues to break the quiet atmosphere by triggering the sounds off a sound book, running off with Poppy. And now it's time to return the books. While Bingo puts her books in "the book mouth thing," Muffin continues to actively resist, for she's the most special kid in the world. This really isn't going to work. Bluey, closing the book, tells her off, to no avail, as she opens the book again.
Soon, Bluey and Bingo enter the kitchen, saddened. When Stripe asks them why Muffin's not abiding by the library rules, Bingo mentions the whole "special kid in the world" thing... okay now Stripe realizes. Stripe enters the living room as Muffin watches Cat Squad on the Cat Squad bike - rather fitting. Stripe tells her while she remains special to him and her mum, she will only be a regular toddler to everyone else - as such, she has to follow the rules set by everyone else. After a brief hug with her dad, Muffin announces to the girls she's no longer special! The game of library goes on, with Muffin now abiding by the rules and shooshing a seagull plush.
Stripe and Muffin drive home, and Stripe now stops before the orange light, earning praise from his daughter.
