Plot
Nia organizes a special event but must adapt when people and vehicles get lost.
I will say this, hearing how this is another 'Nia makes a plan that doesn't go to plan' dreaded me since we already had plenty of episodes showcasing that in past seasons but this episode doesn't have the need to make Nia go on a three strike formula and then she learns her lesson and put things right and then we have a forced down pun as a poor attempt at humor. It was pretty much she made a plan, the engines went to get their deliveries to fill in time and make their way to the farmer's market while James tries to find the best way possible to the market as a side plot, though he has the power to jump off the track and all like the others in this show but hey he can't do that for plot reason.
And there is another shocker from this episode, the moral of the episode wasn't told by the character and instead it let the audience to digest it themselves! What a shame though that it was nearing the end of this season's run that they decided to do that which shows that you can trust your audience to get it! The episode had some of the usual grips like Percy trying to explain the pun as if it was actually funny when spoilers, for those who actually care, it wasn't.
The episode itself wasn't that great but a decent one.
