It's a fun-sounding song but if I think too hard about its/Bruno's role in the plot, I go a little crazy.

I get that nobody (or at least not the townspeople, anyway) really understood his powers, but one of a set of triplets (raised by a single violently-widowed mother) just up and vanishes and his siblings just shrug it off for ten years? Dolores can hear everything but not the reason he left or the fact that he's literally living in the walls? And if she DID know he was there the whole time ("I can hear him now" is one of her lines, but it's said as if he's far off not ten feet away, right after "it's like I hear him now" so who knows) then she's VERY good at keeping secrets and shouldn't have been so quick to blab that Mirabel was asking about him. Not to mention someone pointed out to me that the sound and position in the musical makes it seem like it should be a big "turning point" in the plot but it...isn't. At all.

Doesn't Dolores confirm at the end that she always knew about Bruno? I assume he asked her not to tell and Bruno was obviously a forbidden topic in the house. So I can see why she would never tell.

The fact that she couldn't keep quiet about Mirabel was probably influenced by the fact that she wanted to ruin the engagement dinner to a certain extent. Dolores knows all the secrets of all of the village by nature of her powers, I can't imagine her being bad at keeping them. If she were, her grandmother would have probably already told her off for abusing her gift for gossip.

But especially given that Bruno is a forbidden topic, to throw Mirabel under the bus like that would make her seem so... mean. I know she has reasons to not like the engagement, but we literally never see her stand against it. If her only on-screen rebellion is to put on a giant act to make Mirabel the center of another scene...

She blabbed about Mirabel because Mirabel kept staring at her. Like, literally, if you watch the scene back, you realize she's trying to keep it in, but Mirabel is scaring her with that constant staring. She told someone because she wanted help, and then it... Blew up. Legit all Mirabel had to do was act casual! Her dad even SAID that's all she had to do for a single dinner, and instead she was staring and glaring the entire time.

But we also don't know if the siblings shrugged it off or... He disappeared ten years ago. They probably looked frantically and just didn't realize he was in the walls. And eventually... You stop looking.
