While this isn't a bad episode, it's not one of my favorite episodes either. You can see that Percy is being his usual cheeky self which eventually backfires on him. Don't get me wrong, Percy's my favorite character tied with Thomas and I love his cheeky characteristic but it does backfire on him which previously happened to Thomas. Percy teases Gordon and James but little does the green tank engine know that the two big engines are gonna give him a taste of his own medicine. I don't entirely blame James for refusing to do his jobs considering that Percy tricked him by saying that Sir Topham Hatt sent a message for him to wait in the shed for Sir Topham Hatt to arrive. While the other engines are forced to do James' work as well as their own, I think they're 😡 at James but they should really be 😡 at Percy. Obviously, James discovers that Percy tricked him after the inspector tells him that Sir Topham Hatt is away for a week. Gordon and James were very clever with fooling Percy as the green tank engine fell for it. That 🌃, the two big engines tease Percy about signals and while I don't condone their teasing. I think it's the only way Percy can learn to not tease others. I'm not trying to be disdainful towards my favorite green tank engine, I'm just being direct but in a nice way.
