​Episode Overview

​Synopsis: Dad (Bandit) is the undisputed king of trampoline games, but when he needs to head off to work, Bluey and Bingo do everything they can to keep him from leaving. They insist he can't leave without a proper meal, leading to a high-energy "breakfast game" where Bandit bounce-cooks the girls into toast, fried eggs, and a questionable smoothie. Before leaving, Bandit gives an emotional Bluey an important job: inventing her own trampoline games.
