Is 'The Sign' the End of “Bluey”? A Look Back at the Show's Most Emotional Episodes

The supersized season 3 finale was the latest installment of the Australian kids' show that made parents cry

Bluey may be a show aimed at preschoolers, but it's also one of the most emotional series currently airing on television.

Case in point: Bluey's critically-acclaimed, instant classic season 3 finale "The Sign." The supersized episode premiered April 14 on Disney+ and immediately left parents reaching for the tissues. Part of that emotional reaction may have stemmed from the episode's sense of finality, which left some viewers wondering if the Heelers were signing off for good.

Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case. While the wait for the next batch of Bluey episodes may be a long one, it seems the Heeler family will be returning to TV screens for another round of imaginative play, family fun and tearjerking moments that leave parents surreptitiously dabbing at their eyes during screen time.

In a recent interview with BBC 4, Bluey producer Sam Moor clarified that Bluey, Bingo and the rest of the Heeler family still have more adventures ahead of them.

"It is the question on everybody's lips," she said. "No it is not the end for Bluey. I'm sure we have many more surprises in store for you ... and we are thinking what would be next."

Whether that means a fourth season is on the way, a movie or some other iteration of Bluey remains to be seen. For now, fans can at least rest easy knowing they haven't seen the last of the Heelers.

However, knowing Bluey is returning doesn't change how powerful "The Sign" was. The 28-minute special is far from the first time the series has left its fans feeling emotionally compromised. Read on for a list of the most emotional Bluey episodes so far.

"The Sign," Season 3, Episode 49

The season 3 finale found the Heeler family at a crossroads as Bandit received a job offer that would require the family to move away from their Brisbane home shortly after Uncle Radley and Frisky officially tied the knot in the backyard. Much of the episode is focused on Bluey trying to remove the "for sale" sign from the front of the house in hopes that will prevent the move, however, the most tearjerking moment comes near the end when Bluey's little sister Bingo realizes selling the house also means moving out.

Bingo's heartbreaking reaction combined with mom Chilli's struggle to come to terms with the move causes Bandit to have a last-minute change of heart and pull up the sign himself. This leads to a Heeler family hug designed to hit viewers straight in the heart.

Additionally, the episode also includes a heartwarming blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene just for parents that reveals Chilli's big sister, Brandy, who previously struggled with fertility issues, is now expecting.

"Onesies," Season 3, Episode 31

It's not often children's television tackles the topic of infertility, but "Onesies" did just that. The episode focuses on a visit from Chilli's sister Brandy (voiced by Rose Byrne) as she visits her nieces for the first time in four years. During one particularly poignant moment, Chilli gently explains to Bluey the reason her aunt hasn't been around is because there's something she wants, but can't have because "it's not meant be."

For the older members of the audience, it's clear the thing Brandy wants most in the world is children of her own.

"Sleepytime," Season 2, Episode 26

The beautiful animation of the dreamy episode "Sleepytime" is so stirring it could make make viewers cry all on its own. But the real emotional kicker to this evocative episode that finds Bingo traveling the solar system in her dreams is the end, when she sees her mother as the sun.

In Bingo's dream, Chilli tells her youngest daughter, "Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you."

"Granddad," Season 2, Episode 27

For anyone with aging parents or a close relationship with their grandparents, "Granddad" might just be the ultimate tearjerker. In the episode, Chilli's dad is recovering from surgery, leading her to worry he'll overexert himself when he heads out into the bush to play with Bingo and Bluey. A heart-to-heart talk between dad and daughter combined with a flashback to a young Chilli hugging her father instantly gets the tears flowing.

"Copycat," Season 1, Episode 38

Teaching children about death is never easy, but watching Bluey process the death of a bird she and Bandit rushed to the veterinarian through reenacting the situation provides both kids and parents a blueprint to follow when it comes time to talk about the finality of saying goodbye to a pet or family member. But this episode isn't just one full of teachable moments, it's also both heartbreaking and inspiring in the way it depicts Bluey working through the reality that not every story has a happy ending.

"Baby Race," Season 2, Episode 50

This one's for all the parents out there who tied themselves up in knots worrying about their baby hitting milestones "on time." The majority of "Baby Race" focuses on flashbacks to when Chilli was a new mom fretting over when Bluey would learn to walk, and whether her daughter was behind the other kids, like Judo.

Ultimately, Chilli learns there's no right or wrong time for babies to take their first steps or say their first words — a beautiful message that resonated with plenty of parents who worried about those same issues in real life.

"Camping," Season 1, Episode 43

In "Camping," Bluey meets a boy named Jean-Luc while on vacation with her family. Despite their language barrier, the two become fast friends until his family leaves before the two can say a proper goodbye. Watching Bluey sit next to the blossoming seedling they planted with tears in her eyes is more than enough to make grown adults cry.

"Flat Pack," Season 2, Episode 24

"Flat Pack" is one of those episodes that sneaks up on you like an emotional ninja. What starts as a simple game of pretend involving Bluey and Bingo playing with discarded packing materials evolves into something much deeper as Bingo "grows up" over the course of the game, leaving Bluey behind as she heads off in her pretend spaceship to explore the world.

"Now what do I do?" Bluey asks after hugging Bingo. Her simple question, and her parents call for her to join them on their new swing is a nuanced metaphor for how fleeting childhood is not only for children, but for their parents, as well.
