Pirates is the twenty-seventh episode of the first season of Bluey.
Synopsis[]
It's an adventure on the high seas as Bluey, Bingo and Missy play Pirates on the hammock swing, but they'll need to find their courage to withstand storms and whale attacks.
Episode Recap[]
Chilli and Bandit are relaxing on a bench at the park when Bluey, Bingo, and Missy request a game of pirates. Chilli worries it might be too scary for Missy, but she promises to be brave.
The game begins on the hammock swing with Chilli in the fort narrating the story. Bandit rocks the boat as the "storm" picks up and a frightened Missy slides off to hide safely on steady ground. Chilli narrates that she is the lighthouse keeper.
Pirate Bingo almost loses her treasure overboard before being rescued by Pirate Bluey. Once the seas (swing) calms down again, Pirate Missy returns from the lighthouse to join in again.
However, the boat (swing) is then struck by a blue whale (Bandit shaking it), causing Missy to jump off and hide again. Bluey and Bingo giggle in glee at being bucked around on the hammock swing by Bandit until the story narrates that they are swallowed up by the blue whale, which Bluey had teased by calling it a "poo" whale.
As the girls slide around inside the whale/swing, they call out to Missy for help but she is still too scared to hop on.
Bandit starts making some noisy whale calls, but then stops abruptly at the appearance of another family at the park. Chilli jibes Bandit about being too embarrassed to make silly noises in front of other people (much like Missy being too scared to get on the swing, which coincidentally Bandit has been egging her to do).
With a bit of encouragement, Missy gets herself up onto the swing and into the whale - Chilli narrates that perhaps others (Bandit) could learn about facing their fears and being brave (making silly noises in public) from the littlest pirate.
As the three pirates tickle the blue whale (swing; which is being shaken by Bandit, who is making feeble attempts at quiet whale calls), Bandit finally finds his courage and lets out a loud blue whale bellow as he rocks the swing to spit the kids out of the whale's belly.
The three pirates land safely back into their hammock swing boat as Bandit, still playing the blue whale, gets up next to narrator Chilli to receive a rewarding hug for being “brave”.
