Recap / Bluey Fairies

Go To

Bingo has arranged some dominoes in the shape of a heart. Chilli sees, and then Bingo decides to show Bandit, but he's too busy on his phone. When he shouts, "Let go!" due to her pulling his tail, this hurts her feelings. She knocks over her dominoes, but is still sad.

Bluey then notices Bandit's tail has been braided, and he notices hers has too. Then, Chilli comes in, revealing hers has also. The Heeler parents immediately suspect fairies and prepare to fight them off.

The parents and Bluey grab baseball bats to fight off the fairies in the workroom, with the girls saying that the fairies are invisible so you must use your "heart" to find them. Bandit just makes a mess, so Bluey wonders if the fairies have left... only for stickers to appear on her back and pegs to appear on Chilli's front.

Bandit grabs some crab traps, and then his phone appears in a circle of rocks. It rings, so Bluey goes to answer it, but then she starts dancing uncontrollably. Bandit throws Bingo into the ring, knocking Bluey out, but then she takes her place and dances. The parents pry her out with Chilli's hockey stick, but then they find more stone circles with things in them.

The Heelers hide in the pantry and they decide that maybe the fairies need someone to atone for something. Chilli sends Bingo out, and when she comes back, she has them go inside. Inside, the house has been redecorated, and there's a crude drawing on the window of Bandit with stink lines dancing around the letter box.

They decide he must dance around the letter box, and he refuses, but then Bingo puts her fingers up her nose, which they blame the fairies for. Bandit apologises to Bingo and does the dance despite neighbours watching, and then everything goes back to normal... except Bingo's dominoes are standing up again and she (apparently) catches a glimpse of a fairy.


Tropes:

  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Bandit wears a face shield to fight off the fairies.
  • Aesop Enforcer: Someone makes sure Bandit learns his lesson about hurting Bingo's feelings by tormenting him, Chilli, and Bluey, though it's unknown if this is the fairies or Bingo.
  • Air Quotes: When Chilli wonders if the fairies are around because one of them did something wrong, Bandit does air quotes on "one of us".
  • Break the Cutie: What kicks off the episode is when Bingo runs up to Bandit to show him her dominoes, only for him to snap at her because he's on the phone, hurting her feelings.
  • Death Glare: Bluey glares at Bandit for apparently making the fairies make Bingo put her fingers up her nose.
  • The Fair Folk: If the fairies are actually real, they certainly qualify. They cause chaos around the Heeler house by doing things such as braiding everyone's tails when they aren't looking, turning pictures upside down, and putting the family's belongings in fairy circles (which causes anyone who goes inside them to dance until they drop).
  • Innocently Insensitive: In the beginning, Bingo tries to show Bandit some dominoes she assembled into a heart shape for him. The problem is, he's on the phone. In a fit of impatience, he curtly shoos Bingo away. While it wasn't malicious, it nonetheless hurts Bingo's feelings.
  • Instantly Proven Wrong: Bluey wonders if the fairies have gone, only to find stickers on her back.
  • Involuntary Dance: Zigzagged. Bluey, then Bingo, apparently starts dancing uncontrollably when in the circle. If the fairies are real, this is a straight example, but if the fairies are not real, then the girls are pretending to not be able to stop as part of the plan to teach Bandit a lesson (meaning that Bluey is in on it).
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Is Bingo doing all these things as a convoluted way of getting Bandit to apologize, or do fairies really exist? The episode seems to lean towards "magic", as some of these happenings seem to be inexplicable, even for Bingo.
  • Pet the Dog: Two of them towards the end, from two different people. First, Bingo spots one of the fairies reassembling her domino heart for Bandit, as though making up for all the trouble they caused the Heeler family. Second, when Bandit comes in, he compliments his daughter on the domino heart, a consolation from earlier when he snapped at her for interrupting his phone call.
  • Real After All: Zigzagged. Bingo apparently sees a fairy at the end, though this could just have been her imagination. Or maybe they're Invisible to Adults.
  • Shown Their Work: The Heeler family treating the fairies like they were petty trouble-makers isn't too far off from actual fairy myths in Europe, where fae are capable of all sorts of mischief and misfortune.
  • Space Whale Aesop: Be nice to your kid, or fairies will be angry and play tricks on you.
  • Speak in Unison:
    • The Heeler parents yell, "We've got fairies!" in unison.
    • Then, they both yell, "Bluey, stop!" when she runs to get Bandit's phone.
  • Stink Snub: Either the fairies or Bingo draw(s) stink lines off Bandit to imply that he stinks.
  • Toilet Humour: Bandit farts in the pantry and blames it on the fairies.
  • Visible Odor: The drawing of Bandit has stink lines.
  • Wearing It All Wrong: At one point, Bandit gets roller skates on his hands.
