Plot
Bruno and Thomas have to stretch their comfort zones when Bruno's beloved map gets carried away by the wind.

While the episode was alright though I kinda wish that it was about Bruno knowing the way without his new map that the Fat Controller had given him. After all some autistic people do excell in memory and it could've been another trait from Bruno that the general audience can understand. Not all autistic people share that, according to research, but I think if you want to showcase that autsim can happen differently to people I say bring in Theo who was said from the original production team that he has neurodivergent traits it would be great to excell that. 

How would Bruno knowing the way work, have the engines trying to get his map back along the way while Bruno tries to tell them to get back on schedule, this is where his memory of the map comes in handy and it would give the message that while it is important to help a friend it is also important to keep on schedule at the same time and that a map can come in handy in anyway.
