History Recap / BlueyTradies

* AnAesop:
** Not all strangers are bad.
** It's possible for enemies to become friends.

** When Spark gives Bluey and Bingo Chippy's ice cream, the girls take turn sharing the cone. It seems they learned their lesson back in [[Recap/BlueyIceCream Ice Cream]].

* NotSoAboveItAll: Chili is not a gossipy person, but she ''very'' quickly becomes ''very'' invested in Chippy's relationship drama, even joining the girls in their spying and asking for updates on Cherry, and is genuinely happy to see the that two of them have made up by episode's end.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Chili is not a gossipy person, but she ''very'' quickly becomes ''very'' invested in Chippy's relationship drama, even joining the girls in their spying and asking for updates on Cherry, and is genuinely happy that to see the couple make up at the end.

* ImpliedLoveInterest: While Chippy and Cherry are described as "friends" by Sparky, they seem to be a couple, since she drives him around.

* RunningGag: Chippy being on his phone and/or trying to make up with Cherry over the phone, despite that he's supposed to be working.

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Sparky and his wife are implied to be this. Although Bluey easily interprets his conversations with "Me Missus" to be phone calls to his "enemy", Sparky voices that he and his wife Jewels are "not normally" enemies.

** Bluey and Bingo scream, "NOOOOOOO!!!", in unison upon being denied ice cream by Chilli.

* NoodleIncident: When Sparky catches Chippy on his phone, we cut to the girls reporting to their mom that he "called Chocolate Milk that word that Dad said when the mower didn't start."

* SequelEpisode: To "[[Recap/BlueyStumpfest Stumpfest]]", in which Chilli mentioned in an aside that the reason stumps were being torn out of the yard was to put in a fish pond. The tradies in this episode are here to install that pond.

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Sparky and his wife are implied to be this. Although Bluey easily interprets his conversations with "The Missus" to be phone calls to his "enemy", Sparky voices that he and his wife are "not normally" enemies.

* FurryReminder: When Bluey and Bingo first meet Chippy and Sparky, the girls' first instinct is to acknowledge the latter two as "intruders" and start barking at them.

* SweetTooth: In addition to the Heeler girls' previously established love for sweets, the tradies seem to have sweet teeth as well -- Chippy drinks chocolate milk and both of them get excited for ice cream.

One of the men starts spray-painting the ground, then the girls call Chilli over. They ask who the men are, and Chilli explains that they're tradies and they've come to build a fishpond. She then tells her daughters to keep an eye on the tradies and make sure they work hard.

They run outside, where the tradies are still playing on the phone, and "Chocolate Milk" (whose real name turns out to be Chippy) is on his phone again. Bluey sneaks up behind him, hiding behind a kiddie car, while Bingo spies on "Big Belt". He then notices Bluey, scaring her, then both girls run screaming to Chilli.

When Chippy goes off to answer another phone call, the girls take his ice cream, and Bingo asks if "the missus" knows he's eating ice cream since she doesn't let him eat pie. "Big Belt" clarifies that "the missus" is his wife Jules, then asks the girls if they've been spying on him and Chippy. They affirm, and declare the tradies their enemies for "digging up [their] grass". They then ask about Chippy and Cherry and if they're enemies, and "Big Belt" clarifies that they are now, but were once friends and are trying to rekindle their friendship.

* SequelEpisode: Is one to "Stumpfest" from the previous season.

* SpeakInUnison: The girls say about the pond, "It's amazing!" in unison.

A pair of tradies come to install the fishpond in the family's back yard. Chili tells Bluey and Bingo to keep an eye on them while they work, and the girls turn it into a spy game. Over the next few days, they get invested in the tradies' lives from what they're able to overhear...

* SequelEpisode: Is one to "Stumpfest" from the previous season.
