Initially, it falls on deaf ears, as she's convinced that all she was doing was teaching her younger cousin a lesson. But when her parents take her to see how her prank has hurt Sock's feelings, only then does Bluey realize she's in the wrong.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Downplayed to a less deadly or horrifying degree. The titular game leads to Socks accidentally biting Bluey, who is put off that her cousin doesn't apologize for her wrong-doing like she, Bingo and Muffin have been doing. Bandit points out Socks is too young to know better, and they have to teach her biting others is wrong. This unwittingly plants an idea in Bluey's head to "teach" Socks by playing a mean-spirited trick on her.
