Synopsis
Bluey plays mum to a brood of bouncy balloons, including an irrepressible floater named Greeny. But she soon discovers that mothering is much harder than she imagined.
Episode Recap
Bingo giggles and runs off again, with Bandit chasing her again. As they leave the living room, Chilli tells Bluey it's time for her bath, because she can smell her from where she's standing. Bluey tells her that she wanted to play a game called 'Mum School'. Chilli, confused, asks what Mum School is. Bluey tells her that it's a school where you learn to be a mum. Bluey introduces her five "children", the balloons. Bluey tells her that they all are her children, as she gave birth to them all.
Chilli is surprised by this. She looks up, and spots another balloon. She asks what about the balloon up there. Bluey says it's another one of her children, and his name is Greeny. Bluey uses a grabber to get "him" down, and calls "him" a pickle as "he's" tricky to take care of. Chilli tells Bluey that she's gonna run the bath, but Bluey tells her that it's not time for her bath.
Bluey tells Chilli that she's the lady who gives her a score for being a good mum. Chilli tells her that she doesn't need someone keeping score of her mothering, right before Bluey jumps down from the couch and lets go of Greeny. Bluey says, "Not again!", then throws a cushion at Greeny to get "him" down, but the cushion falls on the ground and bounces all the "children" away. Bluey apologizes to her "children", before Chilli then says, "On second thoughts..." before the title card with Greeny under a cushion.
The title card cuts to show Bluey pushing the sofa closer to the TV, as the "children" are going to watch a movie. One of the balloons falls off the couch onto the ground before Bluey puts it back on the couch. Bluey tells them to sit up straight and not to sit on top of each other. Lightning Bolt (the yellow balloon) is on Winddust (the purple balloon), so Bluey moves Lightning Bolt, which causes Greeny to float up. Bluey grabs Greeny before "he" floats up to the ceiling, and tells "him" that "he" should "hold mummy's hand". Chilli gives her two points for doing good in Mum School. Bluey then says, "Okay. Movie time." and picks up the TV remote. Bluey has to focus as she's trying to find the button that turns the TV on. She tries to push a button, before Greeny bumps against her. Bluey has to push Greeny away, and she tells "him" that she's trying to concentrate. Bluey tries again, but Greeny bumps against her again. Bluey tells him to hop over to the couch, before Greeny "pushes" Winddust.
Bluey asks what has gotten into Greeny and puts a cushion on top of "him", so "he" doesn't float away. Bluey tells "him" to "keep his hands to himself". Bluey runs behind the couch, and pretends that Winddust called Greeny a 'cushion head', before Bluey tells Winddust that they do not call people 'cushion heads' in the house. Chilli tells her that it's good mothering, before Greeny "pushes" Winddust. Winddust "tells" Bluey that Greeny hit him, so Bluey tells "him" that "he" had it coming. Chilli tells her that she's not sure about that, before Greeny "jumps" off the couch, making everyone fall off. Greeny floats up, Bluey tells "him" to come down from the ceiling, before Chilli suggests that the children should go in the 'indoor pool', because they need exercise.
Bluey agrees with that idea, and tells them all to come on, before kicking one of her "children". Bingo is running through the hallway with Bandit still chasing her. He tells her to clean her teeth, and then runs off. Bluey then comes in with Chilli and her "children". Bluey is telling them that this is the way to the pool. She tells them to walk straight, and gets annoyed because the "children" are 'ignoring' her. Bluey says that it's so difficult, which Chlli agrees on. Bluey asks why they can't walk in a straight line, before Chilli tells her that she needs to show them. Bluey gets an idea and grabs a wrapping paper roll. She tells the "children" that she's gonna show them something. She then hits them with it so they can "walk" straight. Chilli tells her that she thinks that's not a good idea, before Bluey admits she has no other ideas.
Bluey laughs as her last two "children" go down the hall. Bluey tells Greeny that "he's" old enough to "walk by himself". Chilli tells her that Greeny finds walking tricky, before Bluey says that it's 'nonsense' and that "he's got two legs". Bluey tells "him" to go this way, but Greeny can't stay down and keeps going back. Bluey is confused, and doesn't understand why "he" keeps "running off". Chilli tells her that she thinks he can't help it.
The scene cuts to show inside the bathroom, all the "children" in the tub except Greeny, who is under a basket. Bluey says that that's 'everyone' in the pool, before telling them to enjoy their swim. Bluey gets down to talk to Greeny, because she doesn't know why "he" keeps floating away. She asks if she lets "him" out of the basket, "Are you going to behave yourself, or will you float up to the roof?". Chilli tells her that she knows the answer, but Bluey tells her that it's no problem, and she'll get "Bunty" (the wrapping paper roll) out. Chilli tells her no more Bunty in Mum School. Bluey is confused on what she's going to do. Bandit can be heard finally catching Bingo, and Chilli tells Bluey she needs to mark a student in 'Dad School'. The two enter the shower, and sit in it watching Bandit trying to get Bingo to clean her teeth. Bandit walks in carrying Bingo over his shoulder, calling her a 'sack of potatoes', which he calls heavy. Bingo tells him to put her down, so he puts her down on the stepstool. Bingo runs off of it, and tries to get away. Bandit catches her in time, and says that she's quick.
Chilli gives him two points for making it fun, before Bandit tells her to start cleaning her teeth. Bingo grabs her toothbrush and does so, before Bandit goes on his phone. Once he's on his phone Bingo runs. Chilli tells him that he let himself down, but Bandit catches Bingo on time, and Bingo is holding onto a towel. Bandit tells her to let go, but Bingo won't. Bingo tells him to unhand her, but he gets an idea, where he tickles her. Chilli says that it's a good move, and Bingo then lets go of the towel. Bingo admits she doesn't want to clean her teeth, which makes Bandit confused on why Bingo is being a "pickle". Bandit says that she's still hungry, so the two race to the kitchen. Chilli says that he got 'top marks', which Bluey thinks about what to do with Greeny. Chilli asks if she wants another go with Greeny, which Bluey does have another go at. Bluey comes back to talk to Greeny, Bluey says she thinks there's a reason that "he" keeps "running off".
Bluey is confused until she gets that Greeny might like exploring. She says that it's nice "he" likes to explore, she tells "him" that "he's not old enough to explore far yet". But she gives "him" a special gift (a magnet shaped like the letter "G", which is tied to the string) which will help "him" stay down with "his family". She says it's because she loves "him" so much. Bluey tells "him" that one day "he'll" be able to explore far, and as high as "he" wants. Bluey hugs Greeny, before they all get in the "pool". Chilli, still in the shower, says, "Nice work, Mum." Bluey tells the "children" to sit, The scene cuts to show outside the house.
Back inside the house, Bluey and her "children" are getting dried. Chilli tells Bluey that she's almost passed Mum School and Bluey gets excited about the news. Bluey wants a turn with the hair dryer. Chilli lets her have a go, but tells her to be careful. Bluey blows her "children", but apologizes. Bluey sees Greeny floating out the bedroom, to outside. The two run outside and try to save Greeny, but they can't reach. Bluey asks if Chilli can get "him" back, but Chilli can't, as "he's" off. Bluey asks if "he'll" be okay, and Chilli says that "he" will. Because "he's got a good mum". Bluey asks if that means she failed Mum School, and Chilli tells her that she did. But, she can try again tomorrow, and Bluey thanks her.Appearances
