Plot
Darcy makes some mistakes on her first day, but she soon makes up for it when everyone sees what she can really do.
I'll say this about the fantasy sequence. I hated it. I know it was a fantasy but it was the machine they made up and it was just the oddest thing coming out from Thomas. It felt like something out from 'Shed 17', watch it if you're OVER 18. It doesn't feel like something out from Thomas and it was really uncomfortable to watch it. Plus it feels a little jarring to hear a pop culture reference in Thomas as of course the machine was a reference to 'The Terminator'. Thankfully it was a fantasy sequence and not a real part of the show and while I do hate it, I'm not going to give this episode a low rating because of it.
But despite that, the episode was good as well. It's another 'prove there worth story' but it kind of reminds me of 'Harvey to the Rescue' with Darcy proving that she can dig tunnels more better than Alfie and Oliver. I think it could've been better if they have the other machines thinking they could do it better which would make Darcy a bit insensitive. It's also quite refreshing to see Nia being the moral guidance for Darcy instead of Thomas.
That's pretty much all I can say about this episode.
