Episode Recap[]
Warning Spoilers!
The episode starts out with Bandit driving his family to a hotel. Bluey and Bingo are singing the song "Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer" in the car. They then shortly arrive in the parking space.
Bandit, and everyone else jumps out the car. Bandit tells the kids, "Let the holiday begin!", and the kids cheer. Chilli takes all the stuff out the car, and puts it on the ground. She says she wants to go to the beach to start relaxing, and tells them to hurry up. The title card appears, with Chilli's hat and book. The title card cuts to show Chilli, Bluey and Bingo.
Chilli is pressing the up button on the panel, and is saying that they haven't got all day. The elevator arrives, and opens up. Bluey and Bingo run inside, and the latter goes under the 'swingy bar' and the former goes to the panel. Chilli tells Bingo to be careful, and Bluey asks Chilli which button she has to press, Chilli tells her to press 5, but instead Bluey presses different buttons, until she finally presses the button 5. Chilli then groans when she remembers that she forgot to bring the aftersun, and Bandit tells her to just relax.
Bluey then asks her mum what her book is about, and Chilli answers by saying that the book is about how to be happy. Bingo interjects that it is easy to be happy, and smiles hugely into the mirror. They all laugh, and the scene cuts to the entrance of their hotel suite.
They find their room, and open the door. They look inside and Bingo exclaims when she spots tiles on the ground, and Chilli tells the kids to hurry up and put on their sunscreen. Bluey then runs into her room with Bingo, and they both exclaim when they see bunk beds. Bluey gives Bingo the top bunk, and they both find a bar of soap on their pillow.
Giggling, they run to the closet. They spot coat hangers, and Bluey spots a safe. Bingo is confused about what the safe is, and they pretend it's an oven. The girls pretend to be mermaids, wrapping a towel around their waists, and Bingo "cooks a "pie" (the soap).
Chilli enters the room, asking if the girls have sunscreened. Bingo says that they didn't yet, and Chilli groans. She tells them to hurry up, because she wants to start relaxing. The scene cuts to a bathroom, and they approach the toilet, which has a band on it from housekeeping. Bluey asks that the toilet has a ribbon, and Bingo replies by saying that it might have won a prize.
They "congratulations" the toilet, and Bluey raises the toilet seat, ripping the band. Chilli enters the bathroom, asking if they are done sunscreening, when Bingo runs out, trying to find another toilet so she can rip the band. The scene then changes to the master bathroom, where they spot another toilet. Bingo rips it, and they then spot a bathtub. They clamber into the tub, and Bingo sings into the spray wand.
Bingo then gasps, when she spots a plastic container. They squeal, and they run to ask their mum if they can have a bubble bath. Chilli replies by saying no, because they have to go to the beach. Bandit replies by saying that they're on holiday, so she should let them have a bath. Bandit then adds that Chilli should go down to the beach first, while the kids have a bubble bath. The scene cuts to Chilli in the lift, and she smiles hugely into the mirror.
The scene changes to the beach, where she sits down in a chair, and a fly buzzes around her face. The scene then cuts to Bluey and Bingo, in the tub. Bluey has sculpted the bubbles into a poodle cut, and Bingo has given herself a beard and a moustache. Bandit then walks in, asking the kids if they want him to turn on the spa. Bluey asks him "what is a spa?" and Bandit presses a button. The water in the tub starts to churn, and they cheer.
The scene cuts back to Chilli, who opens her book. She begins reading chapter 1, but stops and says that she wants to enjoy the beach first. She stares into space for a second, and then decides that she should read her book instead. The scene cuts back to Bluey and Bingo, who are walking like "fancy ladies". Bluey spots a chair, and pulls the lever, knocking Bingo to the ground.
The scene changes back to Chilli, who says that she doesn't know how to relax. Bandit hugs her, and tells her to get tips from the "masters". The scene cuts back to the living room, with Bluey and Bingo playing the same game as before. Chilli goes on the balcony, and starts to relax. She looks at the view, and Bingo and Bluey come in and admire the view with her. They ask if they could go to the beach, and she laughs.
