Plot
While playing hide and seek with Percy, Diesel accidentally gets stranded on a barge that floats out to sea, where it becomes a group effort to rescue him.

This episode was not bad in my opinion since it feels like a story instead of like an episode that involves more of the three strikes formula with the engines messing around. It also had a good message that winning isn't everything. I will say Cranky in this episode is ten times more better than what he was in S1A he was just a one-note grumpy character. He was grumpy but caring all the same just like what he was in the CGI series.
