Mount Mumandad is the forty-fourth episode of the first season of Bluey.
Synopsis
Bluey and Bingo have to work as a team when they race to the summit of Mount Mumandad.
Episode Recap
The Heeler family have just returned from a trip to “CrazyWorld” complete with show bags and exhausted parents.
As Mum and Dad collapse on the couch and cushions, the girls invent a new game to play in their 5mins before bedtime (which requires no movement or speaking from Bandit).... a race to the top of Mount Mumandad.
Firstly though, Bingo has to pack her “important mountain stuff”: a torch, some purple undies, a pair of socks, a tie and a music box.
They set off climbing up Mt Mum with Bluey finding a stinky bit of the mountain (Mums feet) and Bingo getting distracted taking pictures of the view whilst perched on top of Mums face (my toddlers favorite resting place). Bluey attempts the jump to Mt Dad but slips - luckily Bingo has a rope (tie) in her backpack.
Once safe, the girls set off again but find the next part of the climb (Dads torso) really slippery so Bluey cheats and uses Bingo’s head as a stepping stone. This causes Bingo to tumble back down Mt Dad, but for cheating, the old man mountain exacts revenge in the form of a cushion avalanche and a storm complete with light flashing.
The girls shelter inside Bingo’s impromptu tent, complete with hanging light, blankets (socks) and a beanie (undies). Even though Bluey was exasperated at Bingo for taking so much time getting organized, she admits the tent is a great idea, and they play Snap and tell shadow puppet stories until the storm (Bandits snoring) abates. Bluey apologizes for cheating in the race to the top of the mountain, and the girls snuggle while watching the dancing ballerina music box that Bingo thoughtfully packed.
As they jointly climb the last part of Mount Mumanddad together, the mountain offers up its wisdom on team work and the girls reach the top together. They plant the one united flag on Bandit's head, causing him to startle awake and set everyone off giggling again.
