Plot
On the last day of Yong Bao's visit to Sodor, his friends dig up a giant keepsake to help him remember them.
It is a bit strange how 12 episodes ago Yong Bao came to the Island and had a whole episode to himself with Thomas and then apart from a cameo in 'Nia's Perfect Plan' he was bearly in any episode after that until he was given a farewell episode. I wish that the production team could give him more episodes just to at least make his farewell at least more emotional. I honestly felt that more with Hiro in 'Kenji on the Rails Again' when Hiro agrees to sail with him to Japan and that's because Hiro had been around in various episodes and specials, be it cameos or if he were in a secondary role, his goodbye was rather sad, especially with S24 being the last of the original series despite being planned to be in S25.
The episode itself was OK and the song at least feels like a part of the episode instead of some random filler moment. It did have alot more better pacing than 'The Biggest Present of All' from S13, that episode was a pain to get through. I think it was alright but I wish that if Yong Bao had been in the show more often maybe his goodbye could've been more emotional.
