Plot
When Sir Topham Hatt's Hat blows away in the wind before making an important announcement, Thomas and his friends race around Sodor, trying to catch it, though the hat remains out of reach until they learn to work together.

A bit of a meh episode with the engines mostly messing around while catching the hat even though it was part of the story, unlike 'Dragon Run', with a message about teamwork. It's not a bad episode but it was meh and I really don't see the need for the Fat Controller in the show since Gordon was more of the authority figure throughout most of the show. The Fat Controller was pretty much there for the sake of whatever story he was needed to be in.
