Plot:
Henry had accidentally bump into the flatbed with the new flagpole for the scottish castle and Salty accidentally crushing it. Henry felt down and even the tall pine tree, his favourite, couldn't help him to cheer up. Toby said that sometimes pine trees can be made into flagpoles. But Henry didn't agree and so he tried to stop the workmen for 'cutting it down', but the Fat Controller has other plans for the tree.
PRO:
- Henry's love for trees is still around.
CON:
- Toby should know that the tree is Henry's favourite.
- This episode should be for Donald and Douglas.
To be honest, this episode is weak, it has the usual three strikes formula and this episode should be perfect for Donald and Douglas, those two characters take pride in their scottish heritage and they love the castle as it remind them of their home, Scotland. But with HIT's 'Steam Team' we see Henry having the role. But I like it how Henry still has love for the trees and forest with him, despite some of his persona changes and I do like it how they added Trevor for scene even if it is only for one second, but as I stated many times, character returns does not make an episode great nor does it make the series great. It's only the story that can do good. But despite those good points, this episode is not great.
Rating: 2/5
