Plot
When water lines break all over Sodor, the engines chug into action to deliver repair parts. But engines are not what this problem needs, it needs off-track thinking and the help of Skiff and Terence.

'I can't swim or roll through fields', a literal quote from Thomas showcasing the inconsistent writing of this show. If this were from the original series it would make more sense but the quote is just basically contradicting what this show had done before which is the engines having the power to jump off the tracks and rolling around fields without any trouble, though only when it's conveninet to the story I reckon but that is just basic contradiction, heck Sandy literally jumped off the rails and onto the ground right after that scene!

But beside that the rest of the episode was fine showcasing that Terence and Skiff can be useful in their own way, heck Terence feels almost like his original self, and I'm kinda glad they didn't go too repetitive with their interaction, once was enough, and that the showcased their usefulness through a montage. The other thing I'm glad to see again is that water makes an engine stop since they need it to make the steam, without it they would explode though I don't think they would ever mention that in this show. But it's still better than the idea that no coal means no steam.
