    Best Thomas Episode of the Season

    This is the best episode of the season. Seeing Thomas and Percy work together is amazing. I love when Thomas and Percy are in episodes together since they're both my favorite characters. I also love seeing Thomas and Percy get along with each other which they do in this episode. Thomas and Percy usually get along in most episodes which I love. Better yet, I love the friendship they share. The two tank engines have lots in common. For Example, they're both tank engines as we know, they're about the same size but Thomas is slightly larger in height and they're both cheeky and cheerful tank engines. Harold isn't a jerk like Devious Diesel but he does annoy Thomas and Percy. It's amusing as to how Percy got the last laugh after Harold teases him and Thomas. Harold says "wings work wonders you know, always" and when Harold is having trouble, Percy chuckles saying "you need rails, they work wonders you know, always". I love how Thomas understood that the previous πŸŒƒ's πŸ“¨ delay was not his fault. This shows that Thomas is truly empathetic and compassionate. I also loved how Thomas was a good samaritan as he gave a man who missed his train a ride 🏑. I love the ending as the man writes a πŸ“¨ to Thomas and Percy saying that they're splendid and I must say that the two tank engines are very splendid indeed. Well done Thomas and Percy, our heroes 🌟.
