One lucky bug.
Bandit surprises Bingo and Lila with a backyard water slide. The girls are excited to play on it, but first they must contend with a bevvy of bugs that keep crawling across the slide. To protect the bugs from getting squished, Bingo and Lila pretend to be bug inspectors: one girl will make sure the slide is free of bugs so that the other can slide safely. But there are just too many bugs, and it seems the girls will never have a chance to play. When Bandit decides to take a turn, the girls must take drastic measures to protect a caterpillar trying to cross the yard. Bandit comes out worse for wear, but the caterpillar is free to continue, eventually finding a safe place to turn first into a chrysalis, then a beautiful butterfly who returns to thank Bingo and Lila in a very special way.

Tropes:

  • Arc Words: "Lucky!"
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Upon getting caught off-guard by Bandit, who's about to slide on the lawn slide, Bingo and Lila stare at the camera with a horrified look on their faces.
  • Call-Back: The leaf insect from "The Weekend" makes a come back. Bingo having named him Leaficus implies that she's seen him plenty times afterwards.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The episode entirely centers of Bingo and Lila with Bluey being entirely absent, making this the second episode Bluey does not appear on screen.
  • Dramatic Irony: A rather sweet variation. The caterpillar Bingo and Lila find grows up into a butterfly weeks later. The two are amazed by its presence, unaware that their luck at seeing this beautiful butterfly was all because that little caterpillar was lucky they were kind to it.
  • Groin Attack: Bingo and Lila's last ditch method of bending the lawn slide that Bandit is using, so that he wouldn't crush a caterpillar that is still on it, leaves him unprepared and unable to stop when he eventually collides with a garden gnome, right at his worst spot.
  • Pretty Butterflies: Bingo and Lila are treated to one, unaware it's the same caterpillar they saved the other day.
