Plot
Thomas rushes things...again.
What's the point of Thomas learning to be patient if he had learned the same message in the last episode? A story arc is suppose to show character progression not seeing them learning the same lesson again. You don't see the Railway Series books doing this sort of stuff! Like you don't see Thomas trying to take trucks again despite not listening, you see that in the next story he learned a lot about trucks from Edward and how he had dealt with them after James' accident which led to him being rewarded of his branch line and Annie and Clarabel.
Why not have the other characters learning to be patient like Kana, who's in desperate need of some character outside of the 'I'm fast!!!!' persona. Have her to be in a rush instead of making her entire character just being fast and maybe have Thomas with some progression after the previous episode teaching her to be patient. Not every story needs to be about Thomas learning something, it's like the production team are going back to the first idea of having Thomas learning everything for this show.
Though I will say it was nice to see Thomas being rewarded for his actions during the episode and I think this a bit better than the last episode but I still think it should've gone to a different character like Kana I feel like more should've been done for her character. She had some in the Sodor Cup special why is it only exclusive to that and do nothing about it after that?
