Plot
It's Valentine's Day and no one on Sodor is happier than Percy — he gets to deliver everyone's gifts to their friends throughout the island! Unfortunately, his energetic eagerness turns to panic when an accident on the rails causes everyone’s presents to fall in the mud! With Thomas' help, Percy discovers a way to still deliver the feelings behind everyone’s presents — by using the gift of song!
I will at least give this episode some credit that it shows Valentines Day doesn't have to be just a romantic day as it shows it can be platonic, the same as how 'Rosie is Red' showcased it, though I still prefer that episode because it at least has something relevant that kids go through which was Thomas defending Rosie due to Diesel's trick which led to the other engines teasing. But I'm glad AEG was doing the same despite many kids shows showcasing it as a romantic only day.
But while I get the episode's message that gifts are just gifts and that it's our feelings that count. I don't think it's wrong to showcase gifts, even if it is just stuff because not everyone can have the words of showcasing their true feelings about someone they love or care about. It maybe giving them stuff but that stuff might be of cerain interest or for something that would give them some help or something useful and not to mention all the time and effort putting into those gifts. Though while I'm glad that episode did at least get the presents out I don't like how it just went against the message that feelings is the best gift of all for the day. There really isn't a win for its message.
