Season 2 Episode 17: The Deputation

It is snowing on the Island Of Sodor. It is an early snow this year and quite heavy. While most engines hate snow, Donald and Douglas love it. 

Donald and Douglas have seemed to have found their talent. They make a great snow plow team. 

And I would plow 500 miles...

The twins go on plowing the lines. They stumble across a rather large drift. They give it a good ol' charge. They were about to give it another go when the pile begins to talk. It's Henry. Well of course, Henry is a bad luck poo poo.

I suffer dreadfully for your stories.

The twins dig Henry out. Henry was very happy with the two. 

At the shed, Henry notices that the twins were down in the dumps. They tell Henry about how The Fat Controller will be returning soon and will be sending one of them back. 

Percy, James, and Gordon, (yes Gordon, I nearly fainted) agree that it is a shame. They discuss that it is bull that The Fat Controller is blaming the twins for the accidents. The agree something must be done but, what they don't know?

Stand up to the man!

Percy decides to talk to Total Hottie Edward about what to do. Edward suggests a deputation. Percy backs all the way back to the sheds. 

He tells the other engines about what Edward had suggested. No one wants to be the one to The Fat Controller that he is wrong and being a butthole. 

Gordon volunteers Percy. 

Why do you hate me? Oh I know...

Percy heads onto to speak with The Fat Controller. Percy nearly pees himself while talking to him. The Fat Controller notices that Percy looks nervous and wants to know what is the matter?

Percy explains that he is a desperation. The Fat Controller figures out that Percy meant Deputation. Percy goes on to explain that if The Fat Controller sends Donald and Douglas away, they will be turned into scrap. DEATH!

The Fat Controller sends Percy away.

Muhahaha!

Later that day, The Fat Controller arrives at the shed to speak to the engines. He tells a tale of a deputation. He tells Donald and Douglas that they will be getting a new coat of paint and he is putting their names on them. They're staying!

The engines drown out The Fat Controller in celebration. 

I think he is twisted and likes to toy with their emotions.
