Taxi is the twenty-fifth episode of the first season of Bluey.
Synopsis[]
Bluey is running a taxi service. Her first passenger is Dad taking the role of the Businessman, who is in a rush to get to the airport. But with unexpected delays, Dad's in danger of missing his own flight.
Episode Recap[]
It's a rainy day at the Heeler house, and Bluey is playing taxi. She picks up Bandit, who needs to catch a flight to Tasmania. He takes a moment to check that Bluey doesn't plan to break down, get lost, or pick up another passenger. She immediately pulls over to pick up Bingo - a fancy lady taking her toddler Millicent to Stumblytastics.
Bingo demands to be dropped off first, and Bluey puts Stumblytastics into the SatNav. Chilli, as the SatNav, starts giving directions, but it seems she doesn't know where they're going either. Everybody flails their arms and screams as Bluey takes corners and roundabouts. SatNav finally stops them at their destination, as far as she knows - and Millicent throws up in Bandit's lap.
It turns out that they're not at Stumblytastics, they're at the zoo. That's good enough for Millicent, so Bingo gets out. Bandit, meanwhile, is starting to panic about missing his flight. So of course, the car won't start. Bluey calls Mechanic Bingo, who shows up to fix the taxi. She replaces the "doodad," and they're back on the road with no time to spare.
So of course, Bluey stops to let a couple of grannies (Bingo and Chilli) cross the road. And then, Bluey runs out of petrol. Bandit has had enough! He gets out and runs to the airport.
Air hostess Chilli informs him that he's just made it (albeit stinking of baby vomit). He takes his seat, and a moment later, he meets his seatmates - Fancy Lady Bingo and Millicent. He demands to speak to the pilot - who turns out to be Bluey. Just when he thinks he's at his lowest, Millicent throws up in his lap again.

- Stumblytastics is likely a reference to Tumbletastics, a Brisbane children's gymnastics programme.
