Dragon is the forty-third episode of the third season of Bluey.
Bluey asks Dad to help her draw a dragon for her story.
Warning Spoilers!
Bluey is in the dining room, drawing herself as a fairy with markers. Soon, Bandit joins in with a barbarian version of himself - and a horse he names Doug (though Bluey says that he does look more like a donkey); Chilli and a horse enters with a very detailed drawing of herself (Chilli downplays it); and a crayon rendition of Bingo enters with a motorbike - while not a very old-timey, elf-y addition, still a very good addition to the group nonetheless. Either way, their mission? Find the dragon that roams the land.
Clan Heeler traverse their way through the land. Bandit is immediately inconvenienced by his furry jocks, which start to itch; in comes Humpty Dumpty! Humpty was initially going to be the dragon, though she, after Chilli voices her concern that the story is already over before it began, decided to change it to Humpty Dumpty, who, despite Bandit's claims of the character being friendly, eats him and Doug in one fell sweep. The Heelers attack, and with a little help from Bluey drawing her a jump, Bingo rams Humpty, granting him his great fall. Bandit and Doug are now freed from the yolky prison, and celebrate by making scrambled eggs.
The Heelers soon reach the forest - initially blank, Chilli helps fill the scenery in. Within the forest lies a wise, old talking tree initially drawn by Bandit, but finished by Bingo. Bingo has added a cherry on top; the tree is now hungry for some Heelers! The tree grabs the others, and Bandit, taking on an impression of Tony Montoya, draws in an axe, but before he could attack, the tree tosses the Heelers away! They land in a rocky clearing deeper within the forest, where they decide to lay down for the night.
Bluey is downcast while the parents cook the dinner and Bingo sleeps in. Chilli requests Bluey cast a memory spell on Bandit, and soon we see Bandit as a six-year-old drawing cars - his passion! But Bucky Dunstan - part-time tough critic as a kid and full-time real-estate as an adult - slams the drawing, causing Bandit to lose faith in his drawing abilities. Meanwhile, Chilli, as a seven-year-old, draws a horse - her passion! However, she just couldn't make them look accurate. However, her mum tells her that while it may not be as good as pictured, it's pretty good for a seven-year-old. She leaves the scene with wise words:
"Keep practising. You'll get better. Just don't ever give up, Chilli."
•This episode was released on Australian Mother's Day 2023, and also during the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.
•Coincidentally, Kate Miller-Heidke, who voiced Chilli's mum, represented Australia in Eurovision 2019.
•This episode marks the first appearance of Chilli's Mum on screen, being pictured in Obstacle Course and Promises, while being first mentioned in Onesies.
•It is mentioned that Chilli's mother had died years before the episode, as Bluey wasn't quite sure who Chilli's mother was.
•Symbolism: In the last scene, Chilli realises that she has to let go of her horse/Pegasus and gives a soft goodbye to her. Given that her mother inspired her to keep on drawing to improve her horses, it's all but stated that this was her way of making peace with her passing.
•It's also worth noting that the horse bears a slight resemblance to Mrs. Cattle.
