Plot
A floral delivery has the engines racing to take care of the unique plant.
You think with an engine from India that knows about the plant that Nia was given to in the mail that maybe she knows where it needs to placed and what it needs in order for it to grow? Why not have Ashima, who is suppose to be the adult character here, to teach the young engines about it maybe to give the message to read the instructions so you can understand more or listen to other people who had more experience with things instead of making her ignorant. Have the engines try to find things to make the plant grow until they realise when Ashima brought them the instructions they threw out.
The rest of the episode is just the usual standard, all the engines have to go on a wild goose chase for something with obstacles in the way contridicting things such as them having the power to jump off the rails and roll on the ground that was already established and then they get the item back in the most anti-climatic way possible. Nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing interesting. It was boring.
