History Recap / BlueyFamilyMeeting

Bluey tells her story, using a toy bed, end table, dolls to represent herself and Chilli, and a skunk plushie to represent Bandit. She claims that she was next to the parents' bed, when Bandit stood up and "fluffied", but Bandit says that he didn't "fluffy" and wouldn't. His wife and daughters point out that he actually would, and has done many times.

The girls then reveal that Bandit has recently eaten baked beans, sauerkraut, pie, and nut roast, all of which they believe would have given him gas (which they demonstrate with a "fluffy meter"). Bingo claims that she was there and saw Bandit fart, but is revealed that Bluey bribed her to lie with a lollipop and Bingo wasn't even there. Chilli scolds Bingo and says that "the truth will set [her] free".

Bandit then has Chilli tell her side of the story, and Chilli reveals that she heard a sound similar to farting, but thought it was Bandit moving the end table (since he sometimes needs to after his tablet falls down). Bandit runs away, but the girls and Chilli catch him, and he admits that he did "fluffy".

Chilli punishes him by making him play horsey with the girls, but then Bandit asks Bluey what she was doing in the bedroom in the first place. It turns out that she was playing games on the tablet, even though it was a weekday and she's only allowed to on weekends. Chilli gives Bluey the same punishment, she and Bandit apologise for their respective wrongdoings, and then Chilli hurries them away because she also "fluffied".

-->'''Bingo''': "Yeah! Whack him!"
** Thankfully, it was [[DefiedTrope just a prop for a gavel.]]

-->'''Bingo:''' Do we say, 'Dad fluffied' or 'Dad fluffed'?
-->'''Chilli:''' Either is fine.
-->'''Bandit:''' What about baking brownies?

-->'''Bandit''': Well, maybe we should hear from...THAT GUY!!!
-->'''Everyone Else''': (looks) What guy?
-->'''Bandit''': (runs)

** HardTruthAesop: Alternatively, just because telling the truth is the right thing to do doesn't necessarily mean it's going to benefit you more than lying. Bandit invokes this by putting Bluey in a position where she has to admit she was playing on the tablet even though she wasn't allowed to.

** HardTruthAesop: Alternatively, the episode is also an exercise in integrity. Even though telling the ''whole'' truth didn't benefit Bluey in the end, she still told it because it was the right thing to do.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While explaining her witness, Bluey suspiciously remarks that she was doing ''something'' in the parents' bedroom that morning. She was using the tablet on the weekday, which is against the rules. Obviously, she would not want to disclose this.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Both Bandit and Bluey are guilty in some way: While Bandit should not have fluffied in Bluey's face, Bluey was on her tablet at the time, which is against the house rules, and Bandit was unaware of her being there. They are both punished at the end.
