## Recap

Blue has a special surprise, but it won't be ready till 2:00 and at the start of the episode, it's only 1:40 by Steve's watch. He doesn't think he can wait that long to find out what it is, but Blue helps out by having him play Blue's Clues to pass the time. Soon, the 1st clue, orange juice is found. Time is something which Tickety thinks she could use some help on, as her hands seem to be stuck at 1:00. So we help her out by showing her which way to move her hands in order to go forward in time and reach 2:00. Later, gainst Time. for 15 seconds. In this game, the objective is to identify a slowly revealed picture before time runs out. Soon, the third clue, an ice cube tray is found and the answer turns out to be orange juice pops. Later everyone enjoys Blue's surprise & we also learn how to do it for ourselves. Steve sings the So Long Song and the episode ends.

## Trivia

* This is the first time that one of the kids (Steve's Friends) at the end of the Video Letter segment, gives him something from the letter.
* This is the first of two times where Steve didn't actually ask the question for Blue's Clues: He said, "Well, it's gonna be hard to wait, Blue, but maybe if we had some hints, or some clues..." Blue then placed her single pawprint.
* This is the first time Mailbox delivers the mail late. The second time will be The Baby's Here!.

* After Steve uses his listening skill "What? Is it 2:00, already? Yes!", the viewers say "No, a clue!" But on Pistas da Blue version, they actually said "No, it's not 2:00! It's a clue!"
* Blue and Tickety hold their orange juice pops when they appear during the credits.
* In the closing theme, stock footage of Steve singing So Long is used, but in the Portuguese verison, it actually shows Duarte holding a popsicle, and actually eating it as the door closes.
