Plot[]
Caramel is getting ready for her first day in high school. She finds Kelly making her lunch.
Caramel: Mum, please. Sugar can help me pack lunch!
Kelly: No no no no, it's okay. Mummy will pack your lunch for you.
She begins to make a sandwich. Caramel looks on with slight disgust.
Caramel: Mum, I don't really like that sandwich, the mayo makes it taste funny...
Her mother disregards what she had said, Caramel, unsure, walks away.
Title screen. Caramels' voice.
Caramel: This episode of bluey is called, healing.
Cut to her biking down a footpath. Her phone rings.
Caramel: (slightly irritated, trying to keep balanced) Yes mum, yes, I'm on my way. Yes, there is no one following me. Okay okay... love you.
She hesitates to say the last two words. She reaches the gate to her new school. She heads to the bike shed and finds her friends, she heads off to class. Claire, an Aussie shepherd sits next to her.
Claire keeps her tone quiet.
Claire: It's shame that Sally isn't here.
She whispers back to Claire.
Caramel: Yeah, I can't believe we're in different classes, again!
The teacher tells them to look to the board, they both listen.
Cut to recess.
Caramel and her friends are playing, Bone, a Vietnamese lai dog, accidentally hits Sally, a dingo, with a stick, Sally's leg starts to bleed.
Sally: (Clearly in pain) Bone, what the hell?
Fluffy, a havanese dog start barking at Bone.
Bone: (defensive) I didn't mean it! I swear!
Tom, a Rottweiler speaks up.
Tom: That's no excuse to hurt her like that! It's always you who hurts the others!
Thomas, an Irish terrier, Spot, a bull terrier and Claire join in with Tom. Sally watches in confusion as Caramel tries to stop the bleeding by applying pressure.
Caramel: Guys, stop yelling! A teacher is coming!
Caramel's attempts to warn them are futile. A teacher approaches.
Unnamed teacher: What on earth is going on here?
They all back away from Bone, who looks guilty.
Tom: (relaxed but somewhat urgent) We were hanging as usual, then Bone accidentally bumped into Sally, then she fell over onto a sharp stick...
The teacher had seen everything, she was not convinced.
Unnamed teacher: (Compassionate but disappointed) Tom, I know you're trying to keep your mate out of trouble, but I saw what had just gone down and poor Sally is now hurt and Caramel is trying her best to help her.
She turns to Bone.
Unnamed teacher: Bone, can you please come with me into my office? And Caramel, can you please take Sally to the sick bay?
Bone went with the teacher, he looked back to his friends before entering a building. The others remained silent as Caramel helped Sally up.
Fluffy: I mean, Bone did deserve it..
Thomas: But at the same time he didn't do it intentionally.
Claire: Let's just, move on...
Their words fade away as Caramel escorts Sally to the sick bay.
Sally: Bone is a big dog, no doubt.
Caramel: Can't he figure out how strong he actually is? It's dangerous to be honest..
They both look back to see their friends playing as usual, but with a more solemn look on their faces.
(No audio) Cut to Bone talking to the teacher, Sally getting tended to and Caramel waiting.
Caramel is now riding home. She gets a call from her mother.
Caramel: (hesitant) Mum, I'm alright. School was great, nothing bad happened. Okay bye.
She passes by a kid trying to ride a scooter, their parent keeping ahold of them; then pushing the kid forward, the parent encourages them, ecstatic the kid rises around. She dips her head, almost lost in thought.
Play Flashback
Young Caramel on a small bike, trying to ride. She falls over.
Y Caramel: Mum, I can't do it.
Kelly: (Assertive) Caramel, you won't learn if you don't do it properly! I'll hold you.
Y Caramel gets back on and is abruptly pushed forward by her mother, unable to steer properly, she nearly hits a tree, she swerves onto the grass.
Y Caramel: (Blank stare, unable to face Kelly) Why did you do that..?
Kelly: You didn't focus! that's why you nearly hit the tree! How many times do I have to-
An adult walks by, puzzled. Kelly waves at them with a changed mindset and picks up Y Caramel with a smile.
Kelly; (To adult) She's learning so fast isn't she?
The adult shoots a glance at Y Caramel, an awkward wave followed. Once the adult trailed out of sight, Kelly glared at her daughter.
