Plot
After Thomas, Percy and Diesel accidentally break a windmill, they all tell Gordon different versions of what happened. Can Gordon uncover the truth?
Another meh episode. Personally I think the episode could've start with Thomas, Percy and Diesel at the site of the broken windmill arguing about who was to blame instead of having them racing and showing us what had happened. Sure it was for set up but I just hate that they do that because it felt like it dragged on with the three characters retelling their version of the same story. It felt like the Missing Crane episode from S2 where we see what happened to Carly instead of keeping things a mystery, keeping things a mystery adds more excitement of what the reveal was going to be but here it just feels boring.
Perhaps to fill in time, Thomas, Percy and Diesel were trying to tell Gordon the truth but they were so cross with each other that they don't want to speak to each other and that maybe Gordon was trying to get words out of them about the whole incident and then piece the story together. It would add some conflict to the story between the characters. All in all it could've been better.
