History Recap / BluesCluesAndYouS1E2HappyBirthdayBlue

Two clues were found, so Josh goes to buy the viewer's gift for Blue, on the way meeting the friendly turtle, Turquoise, and before returning home we hear Joe's CharacterCatchphrase "Every day is a gift" for the first time. Finally being home Josh runs excitedly to the party, but before he can get outside a familiar song is heard, meaning it's mailtime already. Mailbox has come with a special gift for the birthday girl, a birthday letter, and upon opening his small door Josh is greeted by a second explosion of confetti, and feels embarrassed for continuing to fall for it. In the letter, several real-life people wish Blue a happy birthday, which Josh considers sweet, before announcing that it's time to open presents.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: This is the first and last appearance of the second turquoise, which is never seen again, not even in the background.

* TheCameo: We have the first mention of Rainbow Puppy (a character that would be important from the third season onwards) in this episode, through a plushie that the viewer gives to Blue as a gift.

After cleaning pawprint with his [[ItMakesSenseInContext Party horn]], he is greeted by an explosion of confetti from inside [[TheGadfly Sidetable Drawer]] and receives a notebook with a gift bow. Upon finishing "To play Blue's Clues" song he and Blue smell cupcakes coming from the kitchen and Mrs. Pepper notices that one of them is missing sprinkles, with Josh quickly helping her and then going to check the decorations outside. Outside he finds one of the invitations to Blue's party (which he highlights as being made by her with a little bit of his help) and then viewers find the first clue: The '''color green'''.

While observing the table a few seconds later, Josh asks Mrs Pepper to keep an eye on Blue while he searches for clues. In the middle of his search, a familiar voice is heard from the living room's skidoo frame, Joe, who is in Present Store, invites Josh to go to his store to buy something for Blue's birthday. While Josh looks for clues, he tells us to look for a gift that Blue would like and out of so many stuffed toys he chooses a stuffie of a character that we would still hear about later, Rainbow Puppy, which was the viewer's gift for Blue, while he would still need to find his gift which would be the answers to Blue's clues. No more than a few seconds in the pet area of the Present Store we found our second clue, a tank, which Josh mistakes for a “Cluefish” and which catches Joe’s attention, who almost panics when he doesn’t find it.

In the gifts Blue received a bubble blower from Slippery, a clock puzzle from Tickety Tock and finally the viewer's Rainbow Puppy stuffie, all of which Blue adores. In the middle of the mess Blue "accidentally" pushes over some gifts revealing our third clue, a shell, meaning is time to sit in our Thinking Chair. Josh first thinks that the answer could be the color green in a tank that uses a shell as a hat, but even he can see this is a ridiculous idea, finally understanding that Blue want a turtle (in the case Turquoise, the tutle we saw earlier). Upon figuring out Blue's clues, Josh asks Blue to return to the party while he calls Joe to order her gift.

Back at the party, a peculiar gift box approaches everyone, with the surprise inside being Joe himself who hid inside it, and carrying with him the second Turquoise turtle, which Blue adores, in a heartwarming moment for Josh, like Steve once did declares to Blue that he loves her and wishes her a happy birthday. Finished the present time, Blue and her friends run to sing the happy birthday song (without Joe, who for some reason decided to jump while still inside the gift box). After singing the happy birthday song for Blue, everyone together with Blue comes together to blow out the candles. Then once again it's time for so long, Josh and Joe together sing one more song and we say goodbye to our friends once again.

* TheCameo: We have the first mention of Rainbow Puppy (a character that would be important from the third season onwards) in this episode, through a stuffie that the viewer gives to Blue as a gift.
