Plot
Carly has developed a terrible squeak, and Sandy finds an oil can to give her a feel-good surprise, but when she tries to make the fix bigger and bigger, she creates a wacky robot oil can squirter.

Why can't the episode be about Carly being in denial that she has a squeak? It would actually make a more interesting character have her be proud of her work because she's always there whenever there is an emergency and it would create better conflict for her with denial of such a thing and eventually in the end she realised that everyone was right but admits why she was in denial because of it. Carly in AEG never really had anything memorable from this iteration of Thomas heck I remember seeing some of her toys barely even sold in stores, I guess there is a good reason why she's not sellable? Maybe the production team should try and give her some traits like her being proud of her work like I said earlier.

The whole episode was bland and boring to sit through with repeated gags, with a wacky outcome to create filler because the story was so thin and predictable jokes alongside just something a bland character needs.
