This was a special episode of Bluey, which was 27 mins long instead of the usual short 7 mins. It dealt with several topics here, of moving and a wedding. Bluey was very upset about having to move and Bandit decided to do this move since he has a new job in the city, Chili wasn't excited for it but she felt like she didn't have a choice in the matter either. Rad and Frisky were also getting married, but after Rad announced that they're moving, Frisky calls the wedding off. Before that Bluey was too upset to do flower girl practice with Bingo, Muffin and Socks because of the house getting sold, Bingo doesn't mind (at first, until she finds out later what it means for a house to be sold). So Bluey, Bingo and Muffin try to pull out the sign and Frisky almost helped until she got the call. Chili then takes the girls and Bluey gets to experience the front seat of the car for the first time in a chase to find Frisky and to talk to her on still keeping the wedding. Funny antics ensue and the moment that Socks has to use the bathroom slowing down the chase, they finally catch up with Frisky and Chili attempts to talk to Frisky and to Bluey about everything, from getting the wedding back and about moving as well. The wedding is back on and Rad and Frisky are not moving and they had a dance party afterwards. The next day Chili reveals to Bingo about what happens when the house gets sold, which then leaves her devastated, trying to pull the sign out, and Bluey comforts her with the story Calypso told her. The dogs that were going to buy the house changed their minds and found the house they actually wanted with a pool, and Bandit changed his mind about selling the house which made the rest of the family happy.
Now the ending has definite mixed opinions here. First this was a good epiaode for its first long episode, and it was great to hear Socks fully talk, she really grew since season 1 had her like a normal dog until she started growing up and progressing in talking and walking on two legs as seasons went on, which is great development. Muffin had her silly antics too here. Calypso's message about good endings existing because there's so many bad ones was good as well as the message in "everything will work out the way it supposed to", which that got totally retconned with the ending though. Now what made people not like the ending much is that the Heelers didn't move with Bandit changing his mind. Many people like episodes of Bluey because of the themes that it covers and that how some can relate to them, but with the whole topic of moving it seemed to be unrealistic to some. Not everyone can just change their minds about a move like Bandit did. Especially with movers coming in and taking the furniture out of the Heelers' house with Bingo sadly reacting afer the news and what it meant for the house being sold and Bandit being excited about going to the city to a higher paying job. So the movers eventually came back with the rest of their stuff and Bandit declined the offer then? Again, the ending was questionable and not everyone can cancel a move and plans that they had with a move either. Yes the sheepdogs did cancel the offer but Bandit still could've made the move with the family despite that, there could've been another buyer. It also could've shown Bluey and Bingo slowly adjusting to their new house and area, and going to new schools and getting new friends. They still can go back and visit their old friends and relatives in their old area. They may grow to like it, and it will show that moving isn't all bad. If parents that are going through moving with their kids watched this episode you know some would wonder why they're still moving when Bluey's family aren't. So other than this ending it was good for a first long episode.
