Bandit, Chilli, Mackenzie's parents, Honey's parents, and Chloe's parents are hanging out at the harbour. Then, Mackenzie and Bluey sneak up on them and each plucks a hair from Chloe's father and Chilli respectively. They rendezvous with Chloe and Honey, who ask for a password. Chloe makes up a password "zebra" and tells it to Bluey, so Honey allows her and Mackenzie to pass.

Bluey and Mackenzie hand the "samples" to Bingo, who's calling herself Sparkle Shot and has a tray of stuff. Bluey wants to steal fur from Bandit next, but Bingo wants to instead. Bluey tells her that Bingo's job is getting grass, and reveals that it's apparently for a potion to "control" the adults.

Bluey and Mackenzie head out, and Bluey's about to steal fur from Bandit's tail, but Bingo shows up, asking him to take her to the toilet. Bluey berates her for not getting "potion grass", but Bingo, still insisting on being called Sparkle Shot, doesn't want to anymore. Bluey kicks her out of the game, while Bandit takes her to the bathroom.

Bluey tries to get Honey to replace Bingo in the game, but Honey likes her role as a guard too much. She asks Chloe to do it instead, but Chloe also wants to stay a guard. Mackenzie, Honey, and Chloe suggest using a chip packet for the potion instead, despite Bluey's insistence that it won't work. When Honey and Chloe start making the "potion", Mackenzie runs off to spy by himself, frustrating Bluey.

Meanwhile, Bandit is waiting for Bingo to finish in the bathroom. Mackenzie steals more fur, and then he and the others mix their "potion" together. Mackenzie tries to mesmerise the adults into dancing, but only Honey's mother (coincidentally) dances. The kids then start arguing over why the potion doesn't work.

Bluey goes into the bathroom, where Bandit is helping Bingo wash her hands, and complains about the trouble the kids have been having with their game. Bandit asks when this started, and Bluey reveals that it started when Bingo was kicked out. They exit the bathroom and he stacks some stones on top of one another, removing the bottom one to make the stack fall. This is supposed to represent Bingo's departure causing chaos, but Bluey doesn't get it.

She walks up to Bingo (who's dancing) and convinces her to come back to the game. Then, Bluey decides to let Bingo be the one to do the "controlling".


This episode provides examples of:

  • Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Bandit rubs Bluey's head when telling her to do her best, then later Bluey rubs Bingo's head when calling her by her nickname.
  • Brick Joke: Early on, Bandit worries about burning the hot dogs. At the end, he does.
  • Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: Bingo says, "Dad, I need the toilet! I'm busting!".
  • Foreshadowing: Although Bandit's analogy about stones flies over Bluey's head, it sets up what's in store for her. Bingo's very much like the bottom stone in the stack: without her, the kids' game falls apart and they're unable to possess the grown-ups.
  • Furry Reminder: The kids steal fur from the grownups.
  • Grossout Fakeout: Bandit mistakenly thinks Bluey needs the bathroom when she enters it.
  • Involuntary Dance: Discussed when Mackenzie tries to mind-control the grown-ups into dancing.
  • Metaphorgotten: Bandit tries to teach Bluey that everyone has their own part to play in 'Spy Game' using a stack of pebbles.
    Bandit: Does that make sense?
    Bluey: No.
    Bandit: Okay, just do your best, kid.
  • No Indoor Voice: Honey gladly demonstrates she can shout "Password!!" louder than anyone else.
  • Nursery Rhyme: Bingo sings "One Man Went to Mow" in the bathroom.
  • Potty Dance: Downplayed when Bingo holds her crotch when she needs to use the bathroom.
  • Potty Emergency: Bingo needs to use the restroom and asks Bandit to take her, leading to Bluey essentially "firing" her for not doing her job.
  • Running Gag: Bingo keeps insisting on being called "Sparkle Shot".
  • Speak in Unison:
    • Mackenzie, Chloe, and Honey shout Bingo's name in unison when she comes back.
    • Honey and Chloe shout, "Password!" in unison twice at Chloe's father.
  • Stock Animal Diet: Bandit and Chloe's father cook sausages together.
  • Toilet Humour: While using the bathroom, Bingo says, "I started off doing a wee, then it turned into a poo."
