Sticky Gecko is the twelfth episode of the second season of Bluey.

Synopsis

Mum must get Bluey and Bingo out the door in time for a playdate, but they can't leave before they finish their game - waiting for a sticky rubber gecko to drop from the ceiling.

Episode Recap

Warning Spoilers! ->

The Heelers are rushing out the door of their house. As they're meeting Judo at the park, and didn't want to be late. The girls have set up an intricate toy cable car system inside the house. However, Bluey doesn't want to go just yet due to missing her hat so she'll have to grab it and go. Bingo asks how long a minute is, but she hasn't cleaned her teeth since last night. She really needs to brush with Chilli timing her. However, the girls proceed to throw the sticky gecko literally into the mix and into the ceiling.

Since the game can't end unless "Gecky" falls and is caught, Chilli assumes catching duties while Bingo brushes away and Bluey turns the house upside-down to find her hat. However, Bingo is distracted and Bluey can't find her hat, to which Chilli points out it's right in front of her (the hat rack). Bluey checks out a photograph of Grandad when he was a soldier, inquiring the quote he used during his time serving; it's "hurry up and wait". Well, they'll have to do such a thing as Bingo returns, eating a banana. She's reminded to brush her teeth, running off and tossing the banana to Chilli. Meanwhile, Bluey knocks down the hat rack and now has to clean it up.

Bingo returns, her mouth foaming with toothpaste. Chilli is forced to abandon Bingo's banana in her quest to catch the stray Gecky, but Bluey dlelivers it to her and she eats it... while brushing her teeth, which as it turns out really isn't a good combination. Chilli needs everyone out in one minute, but Bluey requests a hat similar to Grandad's. In doing so, she requires a badge to complete the look- wait, the hat rack is all tipped over again, and Bingo returns with rollerskates and a clean teeth. However, Bingo has to put on her rollerskates and Chilli has to time her. Now Chilli has to juggle not only Bluey's search for the badge, but Bingo's timing and the Gecky.

Indeed does Bluey return with the badge as Chilli asks her to grab her hockey stick. The cable car is halfway down the order; Bingo sorts out the laces; Bluey brings in an unexpected guest in the form of Chattermax, and as shown before, this'll add some flair to the action, as Bluey couldn't find Chilli's hockey stick. Righto, Chilli'll use Chattermax instead to try to get Gecky down. Turns out Gecky is really stuck! Suddenly, Chattermax decides to do its business, launching a barrage of chattersnax into Chilli's face, knocking her down. Turns out chattersnax is... quite powerful. Chilli recovers as Bingo finishes tying her skates, which are on the wrong side of her feet.

Chilli doesn't notice the stray badge, which she steps on, she reaches her breaking point. They're not going to the park, and they're just staying here, then. Her patience beyond lost now, Chilli flips through her magazine, now knowing how Bandit felt back at the Chinese takeaway place. However, she soon changes her mind, so everyone needs out right now. Bluey asks why Chilli's been rushing all this time; she doesn't want to be late, as it's just not common courtesy to keep others waiting, especially when it's Wendy. Indeed, Wendy does think that being late is indeed a bit rude.

She reveals that Judo has been asking for a playdate for a long time now, and Chilli wants them to enjoy their time with Judo, for Bluey's a lovely little kid, and lovely little kids will turn into lovely grownups. Indeed, Wendy is one; after Bluey's birth, she made the Heelers five lasagnas - truly a sign of kindness. Wendy has set such a benchmark Chilli wants her daughters to reach, just because. And while Chilli doesn't want to be late, Bluey is nervous about seeing Judo; understandable, as it's been a while. Chilli tells her to just be brave as she musters the courage to exit the house, Bingo has finally obtained her one minute (though she doesn't know what a minute is), and of realization, Wendy is also running late.

The girls can now take their time; Bingo is given the wayward banana and they finally leave. However, Chilli comes back into the house moments later and just catches Gecky peeling off the ceiling and finally catches it.

However, a quick glance at the end credits reveals that Bingo has taken Gecky and throws it up on the ceiling again.

Appearances

Characters

Trivia

  • Judo and Wendy were going to appear originally in the scenes of a park, but it was cut out in the end.
    • It is revealed that Wendy does not being late, even though she herself was late.
  • Running gag: Bluey and Bingo kept slowing down Chilli, which resulted her to snap near the end.
  • This episode shows only the front of the house most of the episode.
  • When Chilli attempts to use Chattermax to knock "Gecky: down, the ABC subtitles read "Dammit, really stuck." The actual voice line in all versions is "This thing is really stuck." The line is indistinct, and with the suggestion of the subtitles it's certainly possible to interpret that way. This has lead to this line being listed as censored - it has not, it was only a subtitle mistake.
  • When Chill times Bingo to clean her teeth and in under a minute, Bingo takes 98 seconds (1 minute 38 seconds) to brush her teeth, while taking 193 seconds (3m 13s) to put on her rollerskates.
  • Throughout the episode, the weather outside can be seen getting worse as Chilli's patience becomes worse. Conversely, after Chili explains to Bluey as to why they must hurry the stormy weather clears and a brighter sky is visible.
  • This episode seems to be a parallel to Takeaway, this time depicting if Chilli loses her patience.
  • Sticky Gecko can be seen in a box with other Sticky Geckos in the toy shop in Ice Cream.
  • When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the US, it was paired with Rug Island and Hairdressers.
  • On the character section for this episode on the official website, Bingo is drawn wearing her rollerskates.[1]

Errors

  • After the scene Chilli has inspected the (not) cleanliness of Bingo's teeth, the staircase has been moved almost out of the scene to the right.
    • The rope pair above Chilli's head are slightly further above on the aforementioned scene.
      • Although the staircase appears to be moving ever so slightly between almost every scene with similar viewpoint, this is the only scene where the drawing of Bluey and Bingo playing outside their house sticked on the staircase is also completely out of the view.
  • Bluey was cuddling Floppy, even though she belongs to Bingo.
    • However, this may not be an error. Kids may do this out of instinct; Bluey doing so after seeing her mum snap.
