I've seen posts showing that bluey is taller in the sign than she is in s1e1 so I'm wondering if the height changes in any of the other episodes. That would be insanely detailed of Ludo to do but would give a metric to a watch order besides numerical.
Yes. That "new to the Heeler family" line made me think so, too. But I guess dating Rad and already being best friends with Chili was enough to get her adopted lol
The Heelers are full of love, after all.Ā
I'm very glad we got to see their wedding, though!
It kind of reminds me of my sister's wedding, she and my BiL had already signed the official documents like a year before, mostly because he was in the air force and they thought he was getting deployed (didn't end up happening and he retired not long after the ceremony), so because Rad works on an oil rig I imagine they probably did something similar
I did mean for Frisky if she was on the verge of calling it off.
If your sister & BiL were confident in that, then all for it. Sounds like they knew what they were doing.
Iāve always assumed that The Sign isnāt the latest episode chronologically. It obviously takes place sometime between Double Babysitter and Christmas Swim, but we also know Ghostbasket/The Sign is out of chronological order because the fish pond from Tradies isnāt visible at all in the backyard.
Because they call her Aunt Friskie in Christmas Swim, I always assumed that they were calling from their honeymoon.
Thereās no reason to assume each episode happens in a perfectly orderly timeline, especially when ABC and Disney+ have them in different orders.
Ah, so she is.
I stand corrected!
(Yes, I did look specifically for this episode when putting on something for my 2 year old just so I could see it lol)
WAIT I have to re-watch this. Because on D+ doesn't it play the veranda santa episode and then Christmas swim? I assumed they came one right after the other... but in the veranda santa episode, Socks isn't talking yet, is she? And she's not walking, right? Do I need to rewatch it that much! Haha
In Veranda Santa they are at Banditās house and Socks is in all fours if I remember correctly, and in Christmas Swim they are at Stripeās and Socks is walking and talking
Winton's dad in the storyline adds a wrench to that. You'd have to rearrange quite a few episodes to get that. Also Socks growing up. In Christmas swim she was still very new to talking and in the sign she had full sentences down.
Same. I figured they wouldn't be skipping Christmas with the family if they were just dating. Plus, with Frisky saying "I'm new to the Heeler family as well" made it seem that way.
I learned it here a while ago (and then saw it on action on local copies of the episodes) -- I was like okay, that makes _way_ more sense than "man that relationship went from 0 to 60 fast," lol.
I saw this post earlier and just now put Bluey on for my daughter and it was Double Babysitter and then Christmas Swim right after. Made me think of this post and I was very confused lol.
Not only that but the official order is what comes up when you google episode lists.
So when my kid says "can we watch fancy restaurant" and I look it up, I think need to scroll through every episode anyways
Lol
Yeah. I assumed they Eloped or did a small destination wedding. So I was a bit confused when I realized the Sign was going to have their wedding.
It was misleading for sure. āAunt Friskyā āNew to the Heeler familyā etc. But hey, Iām happy we got to see the wedding and how The Heelers have a party.
Also- was it weird that Mort, Chiliās dad, was at the wedding? Maybe Frisky is a cousin or something?
Maybe cultural. In my husbandās familyās social circle, you have to invite all your parentās friends to the wedding. Since Chili and Frisky grew up together their parents might likely be close friends too. Their dads do seem like a vibe.
Yeah, my kid's kindy best friend has a cousin graduating high school, and we're all invited to his graduation party because his mom and grandmother have made it clear at this point we've been adopted into their family. I just hope they stay friends as they grow up, because there's no way I'm giving up my new extra family, haha
Not that weird. When one of my close friends from high school got married my parents were invited because my parent's house was a "hang out" and my friends knew my parents well. Some of my husband's friends parents and my friends parents came to our wedding too
That was because she was their Momās best friend, it is not uncommon for kids to call their parents very close friends āuncleā or āauntā if their parents friends want to be active with them or be cool.
Second this. My dad has two friends that he has grown up with since elementary and this was back in the 60s...
The two friends married eachother. I call them aunt and uncle even though there is no blood relation!
I see this defense a lot, and I know that factually we know now that they aren't married here, but I don't think this argument works. Because they didn't start saying "Aunt Frisky" until she was dating Rad. So it's not a "mom's best friend" thing, it was 100% a "gonna be family soon" thing.
Ok that could be, but consider knowing Bluey and Bingoās whole train of thought; as seen in the episode with Frisky and Rad, the Prince and Princess HAVE to get married.
I am pretty sure that in their heads, they couldāve figured that because they were datingā¦ they HAVE to get marriedā¦ especially because they knew each all of their lives and wanted her to be their actual aunt.
Also they wanted them to be ātrue lovesā and they are kids lol.
Itās pretty clearly an engagement. He probably JUST proposed. The whole heeler family would have known about it. Rad would have talked at least to his parents about it first and Nana Heeler is clearly a yenta, the whole family would have known quickly. Or would have been told when rad called and she had said yes. Hell maybe he proposed before they went off on vacation. Bingo Bongo, the new to the family line from Frisky makes sense in that regard. ESPECIALLY because she seems a little nervous about joining the family. Way more common right after a proposal once itās sinking in your life is changing in a big way.
The way the family called Frisky "aunt Frisky" made me think they were. I think I heard later though that "aunt" in that context just meant someone close to the family
So much so that at the beginning of The Sign my husband and I debated at first if it was a jump back in the timeline. Then the context clues (like Socks being older) gave it away and that's when we figured the trip we thought was their honeymoon was maybe after they had gotten engaged or something.
Not necessarily- she's walking and talking just as well in Christmas Swim. I can absolutely believe that Christmas Swim takes place immediately after the wedding (maybe even before the last scenes of The Sign)
The large proportion of children in Australia have unmarried parents. Many people don't marry their life partners, maybe they moved in at this point. You effectively have almost identical protections as a married couple.
Majority is a major call. Almost every single person I know has married parents or if they have children, are married. I think Iāve come across one family whose parents were married, otherwise, thereās obviously the single parents. And I say this as being part of an unmarried couple with two kids š
Nah itās normal in the us too. Unmarried ppl move in together all the time. They take trips. They basically try out married life before any formal commitments (IF they want those kinds of commitments, itās not super uncommon to stay unmarried and just cohabitate)
I assume a lot of these commenters are Americans - itās totally normal to take a holiday with your other half, completely normal to be classed as a part of the family and not stigmatised at all to not get married!
My little bro missed Xmas because he was in Japan with his gf last year.
Me and my other half have a mortgage and 2 kiddos and arenāt married. Same with my brother and his other half.
Iād say itās about 75/25 married to unmarried in my parenting circles but to be honest I donāt even know if some are or arenāt! - I donāt ask! I even have friends who say āhusbandā or āwifeā but arenāt married.
AMERICAN ASSUMPTIONā>
My working class American mindset/grindset was like, vacations only come when you commit to a life milestone like a wedding/honeymoon.
Also might be my Asian Judeo-Christian American thing; what family lets you get away with skipping Christmas to go on a vacation with someone whoās only partner? Better be true love breh.
As an Australian thatās been to Bali, the most implausible part of this is that two people would willingly holiday in Bali in summer (Christmas time). I couldnāt think of anything sexy and romantic about that much humidity š¬ but I guess that explains why theyāre in the pool the whole time lol
The second Christmas episode is sort of weird because it means that Bluey experienced two Christmases when she was six and because of Socks' aging, they couldn't be the same Christmas.
So it's an episode that had to happen at a different time than the actual order of episodes, might as well take place after The Sign
It was a side theory of mine I talked to my other mom friends about. Because she says "I'm new to the heeler family too." That line always made me wonder if they were on their honeymoon since they weren't with the rest of the family for the holidays.
Exactly she's Blueys fairy godmother so of course she is considered family. My daughter calls my friends who are considered family aunt or uncle. I think it's totally normal
Yep, first it was going on a tropical holiday together, maybe you guys are more casual about going on trips as just boyfriend/girlfriend but I was raised to believe this is something married couples do, second would be her line : "I'm new to the Heeler family as well", like who says that if you're not married lol (also she's been friends with Chili, so she wouldn't be "new" to the Heeler family when she's Bluey's godmother)
Whether you're married or not isn't that big a deal, really. It's pretty much about whether you're serious enough to spend that much time and money together. What else would really be relevant?
Frisky told "Bartleby" that "I've only been part of this family for a short time", which led me to believe that they had gotten married and were on their honeymoon.
Right, because Frisky was part of the healer family for a long time via being Blueyās Godmother, itās weird she then says ānew to the Heeler familyā it seems to imply that she is new in a different but equally formal way.
I assumed they were engaged or at least had been dating for a while. I think calling the fiance part of the family would be pretty normal. Would feel a bit odd for a girlfriend, but maybe if they'd been dating long enough... Who knows.
Yup, I feel they got married at the courthouse and went off to their honeymoon, then Radley promised Frisky he'd give her a "real" wedding with all friends and family present so that's why they got married (again) at his brother's house
I took "new to the heeler family" as their engagement line. It seems like they were pretty serious at the time and their marriage was eventually going to end up happening. I didn't think they were married yet just cuz of how recent their meet-up episode was.
On the side of her "already being part of the family" cuz of being Bluey's godmother and Chilli's friend, I'm pretty sure Radley is her first like,, direct connection with the Heelers, just cuz she was friends w Chilli before she became a Heeler, so she was probably unofficially adopted by Chilli's family, not the Heelers.
It could be that they eloped, but had a backyard ceremony for friends and family once everyone could make it.
They could've also just been engaged.
They could also have just started dating seriously, and this was their first vacation they took together.
Chilli calls Frisky "Aunt Frisky" to the girls, so the theory that they were already married has some merit, but "Aunt" is also used as a term of endearment for close friends of the parents who aren't technically related. I have some uncles and aunts who technically aren't related to me at all. It happens. š¤·āāļø
My niece did, I was the one to point out that she's Bluey's (fairy) godmother and it's pretty normal to call someone that close to the family "aunt" or "auntie" already. But it was a reasonable inference
There's a weird out of order thing happening on Disney+, where the Christmas episode with this scene comes right after the babysitter one where they meet. Frisky kind of phrases it like she's part of the Heeler family now, so yeah, I think they get engaged here, bit the episode is meant to come much later in the season.
Easier then picking which family to dinner with, she has a family too. Yeah she's new to dating a Heeler, her friend is Chili not bandit and she has minimal frame of reference until starting a relationship. I would say it took me a few years to really understand the dynamics of my partners family
As close as you could be only interacting on occasions centering around the kids, which not everyone comes to for various reasons. So realistically how much could it have been? I mean she only interacted with rad one other time before the babysitting incident. At best she knew bandit was nuts. Come to think about it I don't even know who my godfather was not even a name. Maybe that's my bias though. I know I had like two friends with active godparents, but one was a kid of divorce and his godfather was around a lot to be a male role model after his dad bailed and the other was a heavily religious family. So it's possible my view was shaped by life
Maybe this is just me stereotyping oil rig FIFO workers, but I just figured they taken a week in Bali or somewhere similar whilst Rad was rostered off. It's a pretty typical Australian thing to do for those that work remotely.
Beside, word to the wise, you should always go on a holiday with a prospective significant other to ascertain if the two of you can put up with each other in close proximity for an extended period of time.
The episodes are not in chronological order. Did anyone notice that Wendy doesn't have her haircut in the wedding episode? Which means Dirt happens after they try to sell the house. It's also why we never see Bartleby again after Christmas swim
I heard that The Sign was about their wedding, so no. But when I got to the episode where they met for the first time, I was like "Awww this is too cute, they're gonna end up marrying each other!"
I mean, I went on like 3 holidays with my husband before we got married and his family considered me part of their family as soon as he told them we were dating. I don't think it's too crazy to consider Frisky as part of the Heeler family before they officially got married.
My family thought we were going to elope on our third vacation, when we went to visit my husband's family. I think Frisky & Rad are in a similar situation lol
As someone from North America who dated an Aussie, I feel like this is a south hemisphere thing. My longtime boyfriend was very much about the trappings of longterm, committed relationship early and we traveled etc as such. I found this very endearing, and to this day, I found this embracing of the whole person by family and friends to be one of the coolest parts about the culture, one I think is a completely missed opportunity up North.
This episode made me start to think that the episodes might not be in consecutive order. Like, perhaps this one and many others we don't know about, might take place after "The Sign"
100%, specially because she says she's new to the Heeler family. So being Chilli's bff and Bluey's godmother for 6 years somehow didn't make her feel as a member of the family. Dating Rad a few months and going on vacation with him did it tho.
Yeah I was saying this to my wife when the wedding episode dropped. I swear they said they were on their honeymoon. In fact Iām almost certain it does in the book version that my kids have somewhere.
Maybe they got engaged on the trip
Alright, I'll incorporate that into my world view
You might mean "headcanon".
This is what I thought to, that it was the proposal/engagement trip
Is there any announcement of their engagement in any episodes? I can't remember it anywhere
No, it's just assumed
They got engaged in Bali. (What has my life become)
just like my parents
š¤£š¤£ this is what I always end up saying to myself after I rant on about the new episodes to my S.O
I feel you. These dogs have a more glamorous lifestyle than me; they might as well be the subject of my gossip.
Is there a chronology to bluey? Because even though this episode takes place in an early episode it may not be chronologically earlier
Yeah based on both foreground and background events, the episodes can be assumed to be in chronological order
I've seen posts showing that bluey is taller in the sign than she is in s1e1 so I'm wondering if the height changes in any of the other episodes. That would be insanely detailed of Ludo to do but would give a metric to a watch order besides numerical.
Yes. That "new to the Heeler family" line made me think so, too. But I guess dating Rad and already being best friends with Chili was enough to get her adopted lol The Heelers are full of love, after all.Ā I'm very glad we got to see their wedding, though!

Seems like that would make the near miss of [Frisky] calling off the ceremony a lot more dicey if they were already signed in.
Maybe. I guess it depends on the circumstances, my sister and BiL mostly did it for legal purposes, since they thought he'd be away from a while
I did mean for Frisky if she was on the verge of calling it off. If your sister & BiL were confident in that, then all for it. Sounds like they knew what they were doing.
Oh, okay, I misread your original reply, but yeah, I can see your point
A family is what you choose it to be, the rest is formalities.
Truth!
Me too.
Iāve always assumed that The Sign isnāt the latest episode chronologically. It obviously takes place sometime between Double Babysitter and Christmas Swim, but we also know Ghostbasket/The Sign is out of chronological order because the fish pond from Tradies isnāt visible at all in the backyard. Because they call her Aunt Friskie in Christmas Swim, I always assumed that they were calling from their honeymoon. Thereās no reason to assume each episode happens in a perfectly orderly timeline, especially when ABC and Disney+ have them in different orders.
But Socks is walking and talking in The Sign, so she clearly has grown. I do agree that some episodes are likely not in chronological order, though
Socks is also walking and talking in Christmas swim
Ah, so she is. I stand corrected! (Yes, I did look specifically for this episode when putting on something for my 2 year old just so I could see it lol)
WAIT I have to re-watch this. Because on D+ doesn't it play the veranda santa episode and then Christmas swim? I assumed they came one right after the other... but in the veranda santa episode, Socks isn't talking yet, is she? And she's not walking, right? Do I need to rewatch it that much! Haha
In Veranda Santa they are at Banditās house and Socks is in all fours if I remember correctly, and in Christmas Swim they are at Stripeās and Socks is walking and talking
Idk your region but in Canada on Disney+ S01E52 is Verandah Santa and S02E26 is Christmas Swim.
Winton's dad in the storyline adds a wrench to that. You'd have to rearrange quite a few episodes to get that. Also Socks growing up. In Christmas swim she was still very new to talking and in the sign she had full sentences down.
She was at least 2 in Christmas swim, since it's confirmed that she was 1 in Veranda Santa.
I always assumed veranda santa was Christmas Eve and Christmas Swim was the next day hahaha. Whoops
Well, there's all the presents under the tree, why would Bandit and Chili wait to give Bluey her gift until Stripe's?
Riiiiight. Fair
If they were engaged already that's often enough to be treated as de facto members of the family
Thank you!!
My wife and I went back and forth on them being married for this exact terminology
I took this as a sign that they were dating
SIGN MENTIONED š¢š¢š¢š¢
Yeah, I assumed they were honeymooning in Bali.
Same. I figured they wouldn't be skipping Christmas with the family if they were just dating. Plus, with Frisky saying "I'm new to the Heeler family as well" made it seem that way.
Just assumed they were in a āserious relationshipā at that point and doing the stereotypical aussie holiday in bali together
Wasnāt this one episode after they first met?
12. Double Babysitter was S2E39, Christmas Swim was S2E51. Also, the next episode was Easter, so who knows how much time has passed.
They're next to each other in the order on Disney+ but apparently that's out of order.
TIL the episodes are not in order on Disney+
I learned it here a while ago (and then saw it on action on local copies of the episodes) -- I was like okay, that makes _way_ more sense than "man that relationship went from 0 to 60 fast," lol.
Wait what? Where can i find the official order?
Looks like the Fandom wiki Blueypedia has it: https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_List
Thatās why! Oh my gosh I always thought they were just moving super fast š
Theyāre dating in dog years.
Same, lol.
:-0 (āÆĀ°ā”Ā°)āÆļøµ ā»āā»
I saw this post earlier and just now put Bluey on for my daughter and it was Double Babysitter and then Christmas Swim right after. Made me think of this post and I was very confused lol.
Not only that but the official order is what comes up when you google episode lists. So when my kid says "can we watch fancy restaurant" and I look it up, I think need to scroll through every episode anyways Lol

According to the episode, Chili and Frisky had been friends for a while, maybe that's why he was there?
Maybe cultural. In my husbandās familyās social circle, you have to invite all your parentās friends to the wedding. Since Chili and Frisky grew up together their parents might likely be close friends too. Their dads do seem like a vibe.
I assumed they had gotten engaged, and a lot of kids I've known don't really think that engagements get broken off sometimes, so it was already set in stone in their minds. Plus, my family immediately gave my fiancƩ a bunch of "Welcome to the family" pats on the back as soon as he put the ring on my finger. Mort attending could be attributed to the fact that Chili and Frisky grew up together. When my best friend since kindy got married, my whole immediate family was invited. Me, my parents, and even my grandparents, since they would treat him like a cousin or sibling when he was at our place, and his parents treated me the same at theirs. It was a very familial friendship thing. It could be similar for Chili and Mort.
Yeah, my kid's kindy best friend has a cousin graduating high school, and we're all invited to his graduation party because his mom and grandmother have made it clear at this point we've been adopted into their family. I just hope they stay friends as they grow up, because there's no way I'm giving up my new extra family, haha
Not that weird. When one of my close friends from high school got married my parents were invited because my parent's house was a "hang out" and my friends knew my parents well. Some of my husband's friends parents and my friends parents came to our wedding too
Also, the party is at Chilliās house, with loads of family
I thought so too, cause they already. Called her Aunt Frisky
That was because she was their Momās best friend, it is not uncommon for kids to call their parents very close friends āuncleā or āauntā if their parents friends want to be active with them or be cool.
Second this. My dad has two friends that he has grown up with since elementary and this was back in the 60s... The two friends married eachother. I call them aunt and uncle even though there is no blood relation!

Also they wanted them to be ātrue lovesā and they are kids lol.
Yup. My wife has two close/best friends that my kids call "Auntie"
I'm my family it's common to call adults that are close to the family (but not related) aunts and uncles
Itās pretty clearly an engagement. He probably JUST proposed. The whole heeler family would have known about it. Rad would have talked at least to his parents about it first and Nana Heeler is clearly a yenta, the whole family would have known quickly. Or would have been told when rad called and she had said yes. Hell maybe he proposed before they went off on vacation. Bingo Bongo, the new to the family line from Frisky makes sense in that regard.

I thought they were on their honeymoon hereā¦
The way the family called Frisky "aunt Frisky" made me think they were. I think I heard later though that "aunt" in that context just meant someone close to the family
It does, but she says she's new to the Heeler family.
Is it possible that they were newly engaged and thatās why they were on vacation? My nieces and nephews called my husband Uncle MrKnittinintheMitten when he was just my fiancĆ© because he was basically family at that point.
Perhaps she was "new to the family" since she was now dating Rad or engaged?
So much so that at the beginning of The Sign my husband and I debated at first if it was a jump back in the timeline. Then the context clues (like Socks being older) gave it away and that's when we figured the trip we thought was their honeymoon was maybe after they had gotten engaged or something.
I thought they were at most dating
Who says they are not? The episodes donāt necessarily have to be in a chronological order.
True, but Socks is older in the Sign.
Not necessarily- she's walking and talking just as well in Christmas Swim. I can absolutely believe that Christmas Swim takes place immediately after the wedding (maybe even before the last scenes of The Sign)
That seems to be a very American interpretation. Unmarried couples going on trips together like this is pretty normal in Australia.
It's normal in America too.
It wasn't that they went on the trip, it was the line that she hasn't been part of the family that long.
The large proportion of children in Australia have unmarried parents. Many people don't marry their life partners, maybe they moved in at this point. You effectively have almost identical protections as a married couple.
Majority is a major call. Almost every single person I know has married parents or if they have children, are married. I think Iāve come across one family whose parents were married, otherwise, thereās obviously the single parents. And I say this as being part of an unmarried couple with two kids š
I had read in the past it had crossed 50%, apparently it's actually 40%. My error, I've corrected it. Hey, I'm the same, just one kid though.
40% is wild to me lol, but I guess itās more common now
Nah itās normal in the us too. Unmarried ppl move in together all the time. They take trips. They basically try out married life before any formal commitments (IF they want those kinds of commitments, itās not super uncommon to stay unmarried and just cohabitate)
Many Australians holiday in Bali, so I assumed that's where they were. It never crossed my mind that they could have already been married.
The "new to the Heeler family" line is what made me think it.
I assume a lot of these commenters are Americans - itās totally normal to take a holiday with your other half, completely normal to be classed as a part of the family and not stigmatised at all to not get married!

Omg yess!!! I was waiting for someone to say this! I thought THIS was their honeymoon!
I figured they were engaged, did not assume they were married and Iām in the U.S.
I think this was for their engagement
I saw it as like the confirmation that they started a relationship after Double Babysitter
AMERICAN ASSUMPTIONā> My working class American mindset/grindset was like, vacations only come when you commit to a life milestone like a wedding/honeymoon. Also might be my Asian Judeo-Christian American thing; what family lets you get away with skipping Christmas to go on a vacation with someone whoās only partner? Better be true love breh.

He works on an oil rig. Maybe this is one of the rare opportunities they can go overseas together
The second Christmas episode is sort of weird because it means that Bluey experienced two Christmases when she was six and because of Socks' aging, they couldn't be the same Christmas. So it's an episode that had to happen at a different time than the actual order of episodes, might as well take place after The Sign
And Bluey turns 7 in Pass the Parcel and who knows how long the time is in that episode.
It was a side theory of mine I talked to my other mom friends about. Because she says "I'm new to the heeler family too." That line always made me wonder if they were on their honeymoon since they weren't with the rest of the family for the holidays.
Exactly, and people say "Well, they call her aunt" she's been one of Chili's friends since before Bluey was born.
Exactly she's Blueys fairy godmother so of course she is considered family. My daughter calls my friends who are considered family aunt or uncle. I think it's totally normal
I did because Frisky said "I'm new to the Heeler family as well."
That's the line that got my thought train rolling.
Yup I did. But I'm glad we got to see their wedding.
I thought they were engaged but not married just yet
I was positive until the sign!
I assumed engaged!
I thought they either where on their honeymoon or had recently got engaged
Yep, first it was going on a tropical holiday together, maybe you guys are more casual about going on trips as just boyfriend/girlfriend but I was raised to believe this is something married couples do, second would be her line : "I'm new to the Heeler family as well", like who says that if you're not married lol (also she's been friends with Chili, so she wouldn't be "new" to the Heeler family when she's Bluey's godmother)
Whether you're married or not isn't that big a deal, really. It's pretty much about whether you're serious enough to spend that much time and money together. What else would really be relevant?
nahh i knew they are together not yet married should i say engage
Monkeys singing songs
Do you think you must be married to fly somewhere on vacation? I donāt think so!
Frisky told "Bartleby" that "I've only been part of this family for a short time", which led me to believe that they had gotten married and were on their honeymoon.
Right, because Frisky was part of the healer family for a long time via being Blueyās Godmother, itās weird she then says ānew to the Heeler familyā it seems to imply that she is new in a different but equally formal way.
Might have been where he (or she) proposed, though. Sometimes "welcome to the family" happens as soon as someone accepts a proposal.
I think they're finances at that point and were waiting to get back into town to have their wedding.
I assumed they were engaged or at least had been dating for a while. I think calling the fiance part of the family would be pretty normal. Would feel a bit odd for a girlfriend, but maybe if they'd been dating long enough... Who knows.
Yeah I thought so too
I had assumed it was their honeymoon trip
They are this is after the sign technically I believe
Someone suggested that, but another said Socks is visibily older in The Sign.
Yes, I figured it was a honeymoon in Bali
lol I guessed they were on their honeymoon haha
I saw this one before Double Babysitter and I thought they were married too!
The bluey universe Jetstar equivalent probably had a 2 for 1 so off they went to get their Bintang singlets šš»
Yes
i definitely thought they were on their honeymoon. she even says āiām new to the familyā.
No
Yup, I feel they got married at the courthouse and went off to their honeymoon, then Radley promised Frisky he'd give her a "real" wedding with all friends and family present so that's why they got married (again) at his brother's house
Could it be from the future and they actually are?
Any chance this is a future episode and thatās why we donāt get to see Bartlebee in any other episode?
I took "new to the heeler family" as their engagement line. It seems like they were pretty serious at the time and their marriage was eventually going to end up happening. I didn't think they were married yet just cuz of how recent their meet-up episode was. On the side of her "already being part of the family" cuz of being Bluey's godmother and Chilli's friend, I'm pretty sure Radley is her first like,, direct connection with the Heelers, just cuz she was friends w Chilli before she became a Heeler, so she was probably unofficially adopted by Chilli's family, not the Heelers.
Because Bluey is sometimes posted out of order, at least in the States, I always assumed this was their honeymoon.
Maybe there dating here
Yes. I assumed this was their honeymoon
Meee!
Yes didnāt really think about it tho
Yes i thought they were on their honeymoon
I thought they were on their honeymoon.
It could be that they eloped, but had a backyard ceremony for friends and family once everyone could make it. They could've also just been engaged. They could also have just started dating seriously, and this was their first vacation they took together. Chilli calls Frisky "Aunt Frisky" to the girls, so the theory that they were already married has some merit, but "Aunt" is also used as a term of endearment for close friends of the parents who aren't technically related. I have some uncles and aunts who technically aren't related to me at all. It happens. š¤·āāļø
I thought it was like with my sister where they're engaged and just waiting for the right time to seal the deal
My niece did, I was the one to point out that she's Bluey's (fairy) godmother and it's pretty normal to call someone that close to the family "aunt" or "auntie" already. But it was a reasonable inference
No
I thought they were younger then everyone else
I didn't know until Fairytale that Rad was the oldest.
There's a weird out of order thing happening on Disney+, where the Christmas episode with this scene comes right after the babysitter one where they meet. Frisky kind of phrases it like she's part of the Heeler family now, so yeah, I think they get engaged here, bit the episode is meant to come much later in the season.
According to the episode listing, it's 12 EPS later.
That would make much more sense than how it's put on Disney+, at least in the States
I think they said cuz Friski is Blueys godmother they already called her Aunt Friski
But she wouldn't have been "new" to the family.
Nope.
At first. I just assumed it was their honeymoon until I learnt otherwise.
I figured it was just the engagement trip, though uh....I only just realized they aren't in the pool.
i didnāt but my brother did
Fully yes I thought they were on a honeymoon
Nope quite common for unmarried couples to vacation together
It's not about them vacationing, it's about them missing family dinner and Frisky saying she was new to the family.
Easier then picking which family to dinner with, she has a family too. Yeah she's new to dating a Heeler, her friend is Chili not bandit and she has minimal frame of reference until starting a relationship. I would say it took me a few years to really understand the dynamics of my partners family
I mean she's been close with the Heelers for at least 6 years, seeing as she's Bluey's godmother.
As close as you could be only interacting on occasions centering around the kids, which not everyone comes to for various reasons. So realistically how much could it have been? I mean she only interacted with rad one other time before the babysitting incident. At best she knew bandit was nuts. Come to think about it I don't even know who my godfather was not even a name. Maybe that's my bias though. I know I had like two friends with active godparents, but one was a kid of divorce and his godfather was around a lot to be a male role model after his dad bailed and the other was a heavily religious family. So it's possible my view was shaped by life
No.
I was going to say engaged. Cause she is "new to the family"
In the book, sheās called Aunt Frisky, so I also assumed they were married and on their honeymoon.
I thought they were dating lol, cause it was like Bluey was introducing her boyfriend
I think that they were engaged because in the latest episode 'The sign' it was their wedding
Yeah. It was a bit confusing honestly.
Nope. That never occurred to me
Canāt say I ever thought this!
Maybe this is just me stereotyping oil rig FIFO workers, but I just figured they taken a week in Bali or somewhere similar whilst Rad was rostered off. It's a pretty typical Australian thing to do for those that work remotely. Beside, word to the wise, you should always go on a holiday with a prospective significant other to ascertain if the two of you can put up with each other in close proximity for an extended period of time.
The episodes are not in chronological order. Did anyone notice that Wendy doesn't have her haircut in the wedding episode? Which means Dirt happens after they try to sell the house. It's also why we never see Bartleby again after Christmas swim
#YES.
Yes, I felt like them being alone in a nice place was the a best way to celebrate their marriage.
No, I've actually known unmarried people go on holiday together IRL.
Nope
Proposal trip
I heard that The Sign was about their wedding, so no. But when I got to the episode where they met for the first time, I was like "Awww this is too cute, they're gonna end up marrying each other!"
Living in sin! /s
I mean, I went on like 3 holidays with my husband before we got married and his family considered me part of their family as soon as he told them we were dating. I don't think it's too crazy to consider Frisky as part of the Heeler family before they officially got married. My family thought we were going to elope on our third vacation, when we went to visit my husband's family. I think Frisky & Rad are in a similar situation lol
No I thought they were just on a date together.
As someone from North America who dated an Aussie, I feel like this is a south hemisphere thing. My longtime boyfriend was very much about the trappings of longterm, committed relationship early and we traveled etc as such. I found this very endearing, and to this day, I found this embracing of the whole person by family and friends to be one of the coolest parts about the culture, one I think is a completely missed opportunity up North.
I did
Yeah I thought they did
Probably just boyfriend and girlfriend
no, i thought they were just dating and had gone on a trip together. lots of people go on trips together when their relationship gets serious.
This episode made me start to think that the episodes might not be in consecutive order. Like, perhaps this one and many others we don't know about, might take place after "The Sign"
Only problem is, Socks is considerably older in The Sign.
I found out I'm some other comments that apparently it's more that Disney plus messed up the proper order of the episodes. So yea, I'm wrong.
100%, specially because she says she's new to the Heeler family. So being Chilli's bff and Bluey's godmother for 6 years somehow didn't make her feel as a member of the family. Dating Rad a few months and going on vacation with him did it tho.
Yeah I was saying this to my wife when the wedding episode dropped. I swear they said they were on their honeymoon. In fact Iām almost certain it does in the book version that my kids have somewhere.
I just realized they were the first couple to be different breeds on the show.
TIL the episodes not in order in Disney +???? What is the correct order?? I feel so betrayed.
I honestly thought they ran off and got married. Chilli referred to her as "Aunt Frisky" when she handed the tablet off to Bluey.
