Air Date
2/07/20 

An impressive script I have to say. I liked Sonny in this episode because you can actually feel sorry for him since he was thief in the past, as shown in the 'Marvellous Machineary' special back in May. Sonny wants to prove that he's a trust worthy engine but the others such as Gordon and James didn't think he deserves any kind of forgiveness. I also like how Diesel was taking advantage of him, pretty much him in character and much better than what we got from 'Diesel Do Right' back in 2019. But if I have to give one bit of criticism here, I kinda wish the episode was focused on him more with maybe a reason on why he would take an advantage on Sonny it felt like it came out of nowhere to me but it had a good moral that everyone deserves a second chance, so dispite that little hiccup I think it was a really good episode.
