Ep 19. The Claw

Bluey season 1 episode 19 is titled "The Claw" and is another exciting adventure of the Australian Heeler family. The episode starts with dad, Bandit, taking Bluey and Bingo to the local arcade. They are thrilled to play all the various games in the arcade and cannot decide where to start. The girls spot a machine with a giant claw and get curious. Bandit notices that they are interested and suggests they try their luck to win a toy prize.

The girls get excited at the prospect of winning a prize and cannot wait to play. Bandit gives them each a coin and they begin playing the claw machine. They both try their hand at the game but are unsuccessful in getting a toy prize. They are disappointed, but Bandit offers to play a round himself to show them how to do it.

Bandit confidently steps up to the machine and starts playing. However, he also ends up being unsuccessful in getting the prize. He spends all his coins in the process and is left penniless. The girls start laughing and teasing him, but Bandit is a good sport and takes it humorously.

As they are leaving, Bingo spots a coin on the ground and rushes to pick it up. She then notices another, and they continue to find coins scattered around the arcade. The girls are thrilled to find the coins and are convinced they are lucky. They run back to the claw machine to try their luck once again.

The girls are now convinced that they cannot lose since they have found the lucky coins. They both take turns playing, but neither of them can seem to win the prize. They keep trying, thinking that they will eventually win thanks to their lucky coins. However, as time passes, they continue to come up empty-handed.

As they are about to leave the arcade again, Bingo spots another coin. This time, they notice a little boy who is dropping coins near the machine to help others play. Bluey and Bingo realize that they had been chasing a false superstition and that there was no such thing as a lucky coin.

Bandit then uses this as a teachable moment for his daughters, stressing the importance of patience, persistence, and hard work. He explains that sometimes, we may not always win what we want, but it's essential to keep trying and that perseverance pays off in the long run.

Bluey, Bingo, and Bandit leave the arcade feeling satisfied despite not winning a prize. The girls feel proud of their efforts, and Bandit is pleased with the lesson he has taught them. It's a heart-warming episode that teaches the importance of perseverance and, most importantly, a valuable lesson on the never-ending debate of whether lucky coins exist.
