Bluey fans—kids and their parents–were left reeling after the season finale aired over the weekend.

Known for its heartwarming portrayal of family life through the eyes of an imaginative Australian Blue-Heeler puppy named Bluey and her family, the show has garnered a dedicated following of children and adults alike.

"The Sign"—the 28-minute season finale—took viewers on an emotional rollercoaster as Bluey, her sister Bingo, and their parents Bandit and Chilli grappled with the impending sale of their home and a move to a new city.

The backdrop of Uncle Rad and Bluey's godmother Frisky's wedding added to the emotional weight of the episode. For parents, the episode hit particularly close to home, as it delved into themes of change, nostalgia, and the bond of family.

TikTok was flooded with parents expressing their and their children's emotional reactions to the show.
