Plot
Thomas is elated when he finds a cowbell on the side of the tracks, until his friends start hogging it.

I just want to point out that Thomas stated to the cow that it had shared the bell with him but at the opening of the episode, Thomas didn't ask the cow to use the bell he just took the thing and left after the cow had dropped it. It would've been better if Thomas got called out for taking something without asking and learn the lesson that way that it was wrong to take something without asking even if he didn't know it was the cow's bell. Most of the episode was meh and I couldn't even be bothered to sit through another song. I wish in future they minimise the songs like how BWBA minimised the dream sequences in S23 because not all of them are needed in the episode. Some songs do work to drive the story but some were just pointlessley added in for the sake of timing and are so unmemorable.
