Plot
Thomas and Percy get into their first big fight and are afraid that their friendship is over, until Nia helps them figure out how to resolve it.
I'm still not a fan of the songs since I feel that the episodes can work better without them but the song 'Let Off Some Steam' did feel like it was made to progress the story. It didn't feel pointless like the other ones but I also feel that Thomas and Percy could at least make up for their quarrel without it but just apologising, with some help from Nia, and work together. The episode in general was like the Spongebob episode from S1 'Naughty Nautical Neighbors' were Spongebob and Patrick had a falling out but without someone creating the conflict like what Squidward did in the episode. The episode just felt average.
Though some might say that Thomas has the power to jump off the rails while he was stuck in traffic, though I will say treating the engines like cars seems stupid, it wouldn't work in the episode because they need to resolve Thomas and Percy's conflict.
