Bingo is trying to watch TV, but Bandit gets in the way. When she tries to tell him to move, he messes with her by interpreting her demands wrong (like dancing when she says, "Move".) Then, when he finally moves out of the way, he turns off the TV and decides to take her to the park.
When they reach the park, they find a toy, Turtleboy, which has been placed on a swing. She picks "him" up and they play a game called Rollercoaster, which consists of Bandit pushing Bingo on the basket swing and poking her, while she lies on her stomach. When it's time to leave, Bandit convinces her to leave Turtleboy behind.
Then, a brown lady dog arrives at the park with her deaf son, who's around Bingo's age and wants to play with Turtleboy also. She lets him play with him, then, like Bandit, encourages him to leave Turtleboy behind (since nobody knows his real owner).
The next day, Bingo wants to watch TV again, but Bandit takes her to the park again instead. Despite not wanting to go to the park, Bingo enjoys seeing Turtleboy and plays with him again. She and Bandit leave due to impending rain, with Bingo putting Turtleboy under shelter so he won't get wet.
Then, the deaf boy and his mother come back and do similar things to what Bingo and Bandit did. The next day, Bingo comes back to play with Turtleboy and she and Bandit play on the swings. Bingo, reasoning that Turtleboy's owner must have forgotten him, wants to take him home, and Bandit responds, "If he's still here tomorrow then maybe". Bingo gives Turtleboy the newspaper (over his face) to "read", then both leave.
The deaf boy and his mother come back and initially, he can't find Turtleboy (and his mother thinks the owner must have come back) but then he finds him during hide and seek and starts playing with him again. Then, despite his mother telling him to put Turtleboy where he found him, he puts him behind a tree instead.
The next day, Bingo comes back but can't find Turtleboy. She's sad at first, but then Bandit sees Turtleboy behind the tree. After some play, Bandit asks Bingo if she still wants to take Turtleboy home, but she's changed her mind.
This episode provides examples of:
- All There in the Script: Dougie's name is never mentioned in the actual episode, and can only be found in the credits.
- Affectionate Nickname: The brown female dog calls her son "sweetheart" and "honey".
- Bittersweet Ending: The audience never sees Turtleboy reunite with his rightful owner, but not only have Bingo and Dougie made peace with the fact they can't take him home, but their choice to not take him home leads to him technically belonging to the playground itself.
- Companion Cube: The titular Turtleboy acts as a "friend" to both Bingo and Dougie despite being a toy. Justified since Bingo and Dougie are kids.
- A Day in the Limelight: The episode centers on Bingo and Dougie with Bluey being entirely nowhere shown.
- Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: The cats on Bingo's show wear full clothes.
- Furry Reminder: Several characters are shown wagging their tails.
- Literalist Snarking: Bandit messes with Bingo by interpreting things she says literally (e.g. dancing when being told to "move").
- Riddle for the Ages: The identity of Turtleboy’s owner is never revealed.
- Running Gag: When Bingo attempts to watch the TV, her attempts to make Bandit comply result in him doing the literal thing she asked him to do. For example, when she asks to watch TV, he literally sits down with her and watches the blank screen.
- Show Within a Show: Bingo watches Cat Squad in a few scenes.
- Unnamed Parent: While the deaf boy's name is revealed as Dougie in the credits, his mother is only credited as "Dougie's mum".
- Very Special Episode: Downplayed; this episode is notable for featuring Dougie, a deaf character who uses Auslan (Australian sign language) to communicate. That said, the episode itself doesn't revolve around his deafness and it's simply presented as a part of who he is.
