For the first time EVER, the episode dropped globally on ABC in Australia and Disney+ elsewhere around the world… and boy, did it serve up some drama! There were house hauntings, havoc and hilarity aplenty, as the Heeler’s navigated a pretend game of “House Sale”. Or was it pretend after all…

It was all going so well for the Grannies before Bandit dropped a clanger — the scene zooming out to reveal a “For Sale” sign in the Heelers’ front yard in the episode’s final moments. Turns out their imaginary game wasn’t so imaginary after all….

won’t somebody think of the neighbours?!

While concern for the Heeler family was at an all time high, there was also MAJOR worry for how some of their neighbours would react to the news…
