CLOSET
TITLE SEQUENCE
EXT. THE HEELER HOUSE - NIGHT
The house is dark, with only dim lights inside.
INT. THE HEELER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
An incredibly tired BANDIT sits on the couch. His eyes have exaggerated bags under them, and some sort of brown liquid is dripping from his chin. A glass bottle in the background contains more of the same brown liquid. Crickets chirp. CHILLI is nowhere to be seen.
BLUEY comes running down screaming. Her hair is standing and messy.
BANDIT
(angry)
Bluey! Why are you screaming!?
BLUEY
(shaking and quivering)
I woke up and Bingo was missing!
BANDIT
(rolls eyes and sighs)
Yeah, because she and your mum decided to go out and spend the night with her dad.
Now, go to bed! It’s way past your bedtime.
BLUEY
(shakes her head)
No! The man in the closet will get me!
He raises his hand briefly as if he’s about to slap her, but quickly lowers it and smiles.
BANDIT
(calmly, but clearly tired)
Look, Bluey. There are no monsters. Now go to bed. Dad is a bit... tired.
INT. BLUEY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
BLUEY lies in her bed staring at the closet.
SFX
Moans that sound like BANDIT, distorted.
EPISODE TITLE CARD
Image of a closet with a shadow lingering over it; complete silence except for crickets.
INT. BLUEY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
BLUEY stares deeply at the closet as moans continue from within.
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
BANDIT is about to pass out on the couch, before BLUEY enters and tugs at his fur, waking him.
BANDIT
(agitated)
Bluey! Why aren’t you in bed!?
BLUEY
Could you give me some warm milk to help me go to sleep, please?
BANDIT sighs and stumbles about, clumsily knocking things down as BLUEY quickly catches them.
BLUEY
(concerned)
Are you okay, Dad?
BANDIT
(moans)
Yeah. Just fantastic.
BANDIT grabs the bottle from earlier and pours some into a glass. He hands the glass to BLUEY, who sniffs it.
BLUEY
This smells funny.
BANDIT
(angry)
Then stay awake and be tired in the morning!
BLUEY quickly drinks it and widens her eyes as her hair fizzes up. She stumbles upstairs.
INT. BLUEY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
BLUEY lies in bed, her eyes reddened, as she stares more intensely at her closet.
SFX
The moans are louder, more distorted, less like BANDIT'S voice.
BLUEY
(sickly and queasy)
I don’t feel so good.
MALE VOICE (O.S.)
(whispering)
I told you I could handle it! Just come back home.
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
(also whispering, concerned)
I saw you, you looked hysterical. I couldn’t trust you with her. 
MALE VOICE (O.S.)
(whispering annoyed)
But you trusted me with Bluey?
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
She’s a test for you, Bandit! If I come back home and find out she’s hurt or scared because you weren’t even caring for her, I'm leaving with the kids.
BANDIT (O.S)
(distorted)
I'm the only one that cares for them! You always leave me to put up with them!
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
(distorted)
Because I am always busy and trying to get over the miscarriage! It's hard!
BANDIT (O.S.)
(distorted)
It's hard for me too! That's why I'm like this! You will not take them from me!
The voices grow more and more distorted and intense as BLUEY'S hair starts shaking violently.
SFX (O.S.)
A glass shatters.
BANDIT (O.S)
(slurring, tired) 
Aw biscuits!
BLUEY hides under her covers, panicking.
CUT TO
BLUEY under the blanket, eyes growing more crazed.
CUT TO
POV BLUEY
The room spins wildly.
View of the closet. There's nothing in there.
Screen goes black as she blinks.
When her eyes open, a very messy and distorted BANDIT, red around the eyes, is standing there.
INT. BLUEY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
BLUEY yelps and hides under her blankets again.
SFX
Loud banging at the bedroom door.
BANDIT (O.S.)
(angry)
Bluey? Are you still awake!? Bluey? BLUEY!
CUT TO
BLUEY beneath the blankets, eyes tightly closed.
SFX
Multiple voices calling BLUEY'S name: BINGO, CHILLI, BANDIT, STRIPES, SOCKS, NANA, GRANDAD, MUFFIN, etc. 
FEMALE VOICE (O.S)
(calmly, soothing)
Hey, Bluey.
A hand enters view, softly stroking BLUEY'S hair. BLUEY opens her eyes. CHILLI is sitting on the bed, holding BINGO, who cries against her shoulder. Bright sunshine lights the room.
CHILLI
Let’s go see your grandad. I think your dad needs to be alone.
BLUEY wipes away her tears and smiles slightly as they walk out of the house.
EXT. THE HEELER HOUSE - DAY
BANDIT is lying silently on the ground with a bottle in his hand.
BLUEY
Mum, are there monsters in my closet?
BLUEY, BINGO and CHILLI get into the car and drive off.
CHILLI 
Hmm... a closet is where we put away our secrets and worries. So who knows? Maybe there IS a skeleton in your closet.
BLUEY
Is there a skeleton in Dad’s closet?
CHILLI
(upset, deadpan) 
Not anymore. I think we’ve all seen a skeleton in the closet last night.
END CREDITS
A beer bottle rolls around the screen as the credits roll. The only sound heard is the chirping of crickets.
