If you haven't already, you can watch the longest-ever Bluey episode, The Sign, stream it now on ABC iview.
Needless to say, the 28-minute episode doesn't disappoint.
Not only does it answer the cliffhanger at the end of Ghostbasket about will or won't the Heeler family sell their house, but it also sees two Bluey characters tie the knot surrounded by their friends and family.
Before we go any further, spoiler alert! The answer to both those questions is at the bottom of this article.
Amidst the Bluey bonanza, did you catch the stack of celebrity cameos and subtle nods to previous episodes?
Here are nine Easter eggs you might've missed and one more time be warned — spoilers ahead!
1. Iconic cameos
It's not uncommon to be watching Bluey and hear a familiar celebrity voice.
And the list of star-studded cameos only continues to grow in The Sign.
If you listen closely you might recognise the real estate agent Bucky Dunstan (first mentioned in the Mother’s Day episode Dragon), voiced by Rove McManus, one of the sheepdogs looking to buy the Heeler house, voiced by Deborah Mailman and the German Shepherd policeman, voiced by Joel Edgerton.
2. Winton's dad finds love
In case you missed last week's episode, Ghostbasket, Bandit and Chilli have put the Heeler house on the market, and it's weighing heavily on Bluey who doesn't want to move.
In The Sign, Bluey's class share some of the other tough things they're facing.
Winton pipes up that his dad and mum don't live together anymore and his dad is lonely, which prompts one of the Terriers to chime in with: "Our mum likes your dad".
It's a cute little throwback to TV Shop where Winton's dad chats with the Terriers' mum (voiced by Carrie Bickmore) in the chemist.
Fast forward to the end of The Sign (spoiler ahead!) and Winton's dad and the Terrier's mum are seen arm-in-arm as they sell a house, presumably so they can move in together.
3. Brandy's bump
Bluey has won the world over for many reasons, but one important one is the way the creators have been able to approach and explain hard or confronting topics to its audiences, young and old.
In Onesies, the series tackled the heartbreak of infertility when we find out that Chilli's older sister, Brandy, isn't able to have a baby of her own.
Or so we thought!
There's a quick but heart-warming moment in The Sign when, as the guests are arriving for the wedding, a pregnant Brandy goes to greet and hug Chilli.
4. More long dogs
Secret long dogs have become a favourite of Bluey fans, as has the detective work it sometimes takes to spot them.
So it's no surprise there are a few hidden ones in the 28-minute special.
One is a long dog toy in the Heeler car.
The other is on the back of DJ and wedding celebrant Busker's (Bluey composer Joff Bush's character) laptop.
5. Nana and Grandpa floss
Another Easter egg with a nod to a previous episode pops up on the wedding dance floor.
Nana Heeler and Grandpa Bob, aka Bobba, get up and start flossing, something you might remember Bluey taught them to do in Grannies.
6. Green balloon
Blink and you might miss this Easter egg!
Bluey's beloved green balloon, 'Greeny', from Mum School (that floated away at the end of the episode) makes a fleeting appearance in The Sign.
After a particularly heart-warming moment between Bluey and Bingo, where Bluey comforts Bingo who's upset about the prospect of moving from the Heeler house, the shot pans up into the sky.
And there, between the clouds, is Greeny.
7. Calypso's serenade
Wondering who's beautiful singing soundtracked the end of the episode?
It's none other than Megan Washington, aka Calypso, singing her song Lazarus Drug.
8. Flappy returns
While The Sign features a lot of returning doggo characters, it also features a special cameo from none other than the beautiful blue butterfly Flappy.
A keen eye would recognise Flappy from Slide from earlier this season.
9. Queensland road laws
Not so much an Easter egg but it turns out Chilli wasn't lying when she quotes the Queensland road rules to the police officer (voiced by Joel Edgerton).
In Queensland children aged between four and seven can only sit in the front seat if all other seats are taken by children under seven.
Do Bluey and her family move? Who gets married?
At the end of Ghostbasket we're left wondering whether the Heeler family are going to move away.
Without spoiling how it happens, in the last few minutes of The Sign we learn the Heelers don't sell their house and end up staying put.
The episode also sees Rad (Bandit's brother) marry Frisky (Bluey's godmother), after a turbulent chain of events and an adventure across Brisbane.
