Agreed. My three-year-old's favorite episode, by far. Realizing how artistically ambitious and just plain good Bluey is has been an interesting lesson in how kids actually do have good taste/interesting preferences as long as you don't bombard them with the Cocomelons of the world.

My daughter likes to say "that makes me happy... and sad!" at the end of a particularly artistic episode, like Sleepytime, the wordless one where it rains, or the final episode ("The Sign" - the Citizen Kane of children's television).

Rain and Rainbow... the best music ever, even among all of Bluey episodes. That episodes takes me back to my childhood. Just listen to these:

Rain - https://youtu.be/U7Pvxqe2JvM

Rainbow - https://youtu.be/j1E8C_qLjbk

When I watched The Sign for the first time, my wife said “you’re going to be crying at the end of it”

And sure enough, she was 100% right. It was like peak Pixar, entertaining for the little ones but very deep and full of incredible depth and emotion for the adults.
