The Episode
The series, about a young, anthropomorphic Australian blue heeler and her family (Disney+; ABC Kids (Australia)), makes the introduction in a exceptional 28-minute episode—far longer than the usual eight- to nine-minute ones—but it’s not the LGBTQ note that makes the episode special. Instead, as the show’s official website notes, the episode focuses on “the wedding of the year” between Bluey’s Uncle Rad and her godmother Frisky. The episode also deals with the news that Bluey’s family will have to sell their dwelling and move to a new capital, where her dad has a recent job. Bluey isn’t happy about this, not wanting to leave her abode and friends.
The finding of the traits with two moms comes as Bluey sits at institution, sad about the upcoming move, and wonders why stories always have gleeful endings. The teac

The drama starts at the end of “Ghostbasket,” when we see a For Sale write in front of the home. In “The Sign,” we absorb that Bandit has gotten a higher paying job in another city.
While a couple comes to look at the house, Bluey’s family drives off to educational facility and work. Once at educational facility, Bluey asks her teacher, Calypso, why stories have happy endings. “I guess because life will give us enough sad ones,” Calypso responds.
The kids take that as a cue to distribute all the sad endings they’ve experienced in their lives. Winton, the mischievous bulldog, shares that his dad is divorce
