Angry Bertie is pretty awesome though. But, there is only room for one cranky bus on Sodor. SPOILER ALERT!
Thomas asks Bertie "If he would like to race?"
Bertie is all like hell no! He is busting his tires on the dang pot holes. Thomas is not impressed by Bertie's unusual crankiness and heads off.
Thomas arrives at the next station still happy as a lark. Bertie pulls up still grumping. Thomas teases Bertie about not running on some smooth rails. Which really grinds Bertie. Bertie goes off on rant about the railroad not delivering the tar for the roads for two weeks. He can not trust anything on rails anymore.
Thomas ponders if Harold has gotten to Bertie.
Thomas promises Bertie he will get to the bottom of this mystery and heads off to the big station by the sea.
Meanwhile at the big station by the sea, James is ranting while violently shunting trucks about Percy working at the harbor and him doing his dirty work.
Gordon overhears this and suggests that James play hooky to get out of work.
Make sure you have clam chowder on hand.
Thomas pulls up next to James and Gordon, James goes into hooky mode. Thomas sees the two looking sad. He tells them to, "Cheer up Sleepy James."
Gordon and James explain that James is dying of illness and can not work. Thomas falls for this and volunteers himself to help with the work.
What a fool!
Thomas has some of James' trucks coupled on and he heads to the quarry. It is unknown to Thomas that trucks are filled with rage and want blood. They don't care who's it is. The trucks begin to contrive a plan.
Thomas collects the stone from the quarry and heads merrily to the junction. All the while with the sneaky bastard trucks crafting their brew.
The trucks wait until Thomas is in the danger zone. They push him down a hill and well I will let the GIF explain.
There was a lot to explain there. Visual aids were needed.
Thomas begins to sink and to add insult to injury a toad gives him the saucy eye. (I feel bad for him for once. He was actually being nice and was in a good mood.)
Duck and Total Hottie Edward arrive to help. Duck takes the little jag offs called trucks away, while Edward helps with Thomas.
Edward takes Thomas to the junction. While on the ride their Thomas remembers Bertie's missing tar. (Hell, I forgot about it!) Edward states he has it at his station.
Edward has been hoarding the tar. Tsk tsk.
Later that day, James and Gordon apologize for tricking Thomas. (If I was Thomas, I would be hoping for James to get a real illness.)
Just then, Bertie arrives to the apologizing party. Bertie states that his roads are being mended and his faith in the rail gods have been restored. And Thomas' new love, the Toad listens in.
I have Edward and The Toad has Thomas. No judgement here.
Dang it, now Daydream Believer is stuck in my head.
I knew I would sneak The Monkees in here one day. Jane Slicker loves her some Monkees. Especially Nesmith.
