They're able to build their house anyway and then play at farming. Then, they see Bandit and jump out at him, pretending it's a wild pig. Afterwards, Bluey and the boy (whose name is revealed to be Jean-Luc) are called in for dinner.
The next day, they play again until dinner time. The next day has Bluey and Jean-Luc communicating via drawing, and pretending to hunt Bandit, who they're again pretending is a wild pig.
The next day, Bluey notices the seed she's planted has grown and goes looking for Jean-Luc, but he and his family have already left. That night, Chilli takes Bingo outside to pee, and Bluey accompanies the two to complain about her friend having to leave. Chilli tells her that sometimes, friends go away, but that it's normal to be sad.
Years pass, and the seed grows into a tree. When the Heelers visit the campsite again, a teenage Bluey visits the tree where, miraculously, a teenage Jean-Luc is waiting for her.
This episode provides examples of:
- The Anti-Nihilist: Although Bluey is saddened that she'll (seemingly) never see Jean-Luc again, Chili helps her realize there's something good about feeling sad about the whole thing: it means that Jean-Luc meant a lot to her.
- Bittersweet Ending: Jean-Luc leaves before he and Bluey can tell each other good-bye proper, breaking Bluey's heart. However, after a heart-to-heart with Chili, Bluey realizes how much she appreciates what little time she and Jean-Luc had together. Some years later, against all odds, the two meet once more.
- Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: At nighttime, Bingo says, "I need a wee".
- Camping Episode: The Heelers, including the cousins, are on a camping trip for this episode.
- Does Not Speak Common: Jean-Luc and Bluey strike up a friendship despite his being unable to speak English; though his ability to follow along with Bluey's more basic statements would suggest he at least knows more English than Bluey knows French (this is justified by the fact that he's French-Canadian, as English and French are the two national languages of Canada and he likely knows at least a small amount of English). The language barrier slightly impedes their strategizing when ambushing Bandit, requiring them to try it a few times, and more dramatically means his emotional farewell goes completely over her head. In the episode's ending, teen Jean-Luc greets teen Bluey in English, implying that he's become more fluent in the years since they met.
- Hard Truth Aesop: Sometimes, either because of circumstances or life in general, some friend can't always be by our side.
- Keep It Foreign: In the French dub, Jean-Luc is named Johnny and his dialogue is in English, though his voice actor is clearly a native French speaker.
- Language Barrier: Bluey can only speak English, while Jean-Luc can only speak French (the official site clarifies that he's French-Canadian). They manage to get along very well despite neither of them being able to speak the other's language, but this trope causes conflict when Jean-Luc tries to tell Bluey he's leaving the next day and Bluey doesn't understand him. This leaves her heartbroken when he seemingly vanishes without saying goodbye to her.
- Nature Tinkling: Bingo pees in a bush. Justified, since she's on a camping trip.
- Poor Communication Kills: Or at least, it invokes a Never Got to Say Goodbye. On their last day together, Jean Luc tries to tell Bluey that his family will be leaving soon, but Bluey doesn't understand and thinks they'll play again tomorrow. The next morning, Bluey has to learn the hard way that the last time she saw Jean-Luc was the last time (if for a long time). This marks the one time the language barrier between the two kids worked against them.
- Special Edition Title: In light of the episode's poignant, yet tearjerking, ending, Bluey's dancing is replaced by the bunny nightlight for the closing credits.
- Time Skip: The ending shows time passing as the seed Bluey and Jean-Luc planted grows into a tree. By the time it's a fully grown tree, Bluey returns to the spot several years older, as does Jean-Luc.
- Troubled Fetal Position: Bluey does this after learning Jean-Luc has left.
- Wham Line: "Hello, Bluey."
