Plot
When Carly gets a new magnet to help Tess the Troublesome Crane load up a shipment of metal crates, she struggles with the new tool.
I'll say this but I hate Tess, she reminds me so much of Cranky in S1A of the show. A one note character who is just grumpy. Sure she has a caring side when it comes the idea of Carly having sand inside her but she was mostly what Cranky was and I didn't like how Carly was the one feeling bad for causing a mess at the docks with the containers when really Tess was the one holding on to the thing that Carly was trying to take and she didn't feel bad about doing that one bit even after Carly crashed into the container she only laughed because of her bad pun and not learning much of a lesson herself.
The story was fine but Tess' character is what really hold it back to make it enjoyable. I still don't like the use of song and maybe replace it with a montage of Carly trying to learn her new magnet, which is basically what the song was but with unmemorable lyrics. I like that the moral was about making mistakes is how we learn but maybe, like every other episode AEG, let the audience digest it themselves instead of being told what the message is. Children are not dumb they are smarter than you think!
