Plot
After Sir Topham Hatt messes up his instructions for Kenji's passenger delivery, Thomas is asked to set things right! However, as Thomas follows Kenji's trail, he repeatedly forgets to ask his friends for specific directions, preventing him from catching up to the speedy electric engine. Realizing he has to pay more attention to details, Thomas uses his wits, listening skills, and the help of his friends to make it to Kenji and get the passengers to their destinations on time.
This episode was boring to sit through. It's pretty much just a standard episode where someone went wrong and an engine has to fix it but things were getting in the way until the matter had been solved while hammering down the message that little detail is important. You might say it's like 'Bertie's Chase' from the original series but at least that was entertaining to watch and while it stated the message it didn't feel forced down and flowed naturally in the dialouge.
While I'm glad that we are seeing some episodes with the Fat Controller acting like an authorative figure I hate how AEG is like any kids show where the adults are stupid. We've seen that in Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Ben & Holly and the bargin bin Bluey show 'Chip Chilla' by alt-right group Daily Wire. Why is this a trend in kids shows? They should take a leaf out of Bluey's book where the adults act like actual parents helping out their kids in trouble while making their own mistakes. Mattel should stop looking at trends and try and make Thomas stand on its own feet.
