Plot

MY VIEWS
I'll get this out of the way, the cow puns they are not funny and not creative. Puns are just overdone, uncreative cheap jokes. Yes there were some during the Brenner/McCue era but they were very rare to my memory since the only ones I could think of was Thomas' one in KOTR and Sailor John's one in Lost Treasure and didn't need to have them in an entire episode or special. This episode will still be the same without them. The rest of the episode pretty much reminds me of a Miller/Barlow era script with the three strikes formula with exception of someone having a spare the whole time but left it behind for some reason. Because instead of doing the latter, Thomas and Percy put things right by trying to find the cows. But despite that this episode in my opinion wasn't great based on the puns and the repetition of Thomas and Percy finding the missing cows.
