History Recap / BlueyHammerbarn

[[caption-width-right:1000:"I can't be happy with what I've got when what ''she's'' got is better!"]] When Bandit gets a look at Lucky's Dad's brand-new pizza oven, he herds the family into the car for a trip to Hammerbarn, the local house-and-garden store, to acquire a pizza oven for himself, leaving Chilli to mind the kids and pick out accessories. The girls begin building their own gardens in the shopping trolley, complaining whenever one has something the other doesn't have. Chilli tries to explain that wanting what someone else has will only make them unhappy and that it's better to be satisfied with what you have, but the competition continues until one of the girls accidentally smashes her garden gnome husband, leading to a scolding from Chilli.

The Heelers go on a fun trip to Hammerbarn to get a new pizza oven like their neighbours'. At Hammerbarn, Bluey and Bingo play in the gardening section and set up mini-gardens in the trolley.

* BrokenAesop: Played with and in-universe. When Chili tries to explain to Bluey the follies of coveting what someone else has, she drives home that buying everything you ever want is unwise because [[TemptingFate there's nothing that comes free]]. Cue Bingo and Bluey finding an entire section of free paint samples, all fit to make whatever Bingo and Bluey want for their imaginary game. So contrary to what Chili was trying to teach them, they did find everything they could ever want ''for free''.

* SpaceWhaleAesop: How the Aesop initially presents itself as. Bluey trying to take the pizza stone from Bingo results in Bingo's "husband" (a garden gnome) falling out the trolley and breaking. It's how Chilli tells off Bluey that crosses into this trope.

* AnAesop:
** It never ends well to covet what someone else has. Better to appreciate what you have. Otherwise, you might lose it.
** Bluey and Bingo "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything losing their stuff]]" when they have to check out has a low-key lesson that "Nothing lasts forever". If anything, it works to drive home the theme about not coveting one's neighbor, as their stuff isn't permanent either.

* TastesBetterThanItLooks: When Bandit uses the family's new pizza oven for the first time, the pizza comes out as a lumpy mess. However, Chilli says it tastes amazing after she tries it, and everyone enjoys it anyway.

* GrassIsGreener: The running conflict, as Bluey is constantly dissatisfied that Bingo has better things than she does.
** Additionally, this episode starts because Bandit was jealous of Pat's new pizza oven.
