Season 3 Episode 23: Bulgy

It is a special holiday on Sodor. You know how I know?

BAM!

Duck is at the station waiting for his next assignment. Near the station stood a ugly mean looking double decker bus. Duck innocently tries to be polite to the bus but, this bus is a jerk. He insists that all railways will be ripped up one day. This turns Duck red.

Does this mean engines' have blood? I am thinking too hard about this.

Duck heads off to the junction and he tells Oliver all about the bus. Oliver states that he calls him, "Bulgy." He then heads off. 

Later that afternoon, Duck and Oliver meet again. This time Oliver is the one who is angered by Bulgy. Oliver explains that Bulgy's friend has come to help and Bulgy is stealing their passengers. Bulgy is stealing the passengers by knowing a short cut to the big station. 

It just got real Duck.

That evening, Duck and Oliver are readying for the evening trains. Duck takes notice that the passengers are missing. Oliver points out that Bulgy has them. That bastard even had a sign that said, "Railway Bus" on his side.

I feel like Bulgy ate them.

Bulgy heads off and Duck follows to see what Bulgy is up to.

While on his line, Duck sees a man on his line waving a red flag. Duck stops and sees Bulgy stuck under the bridge ahead. 

And I don't wanna ever feel the way I did that day.

The passenger outside the bus scream at Duck about how they have been tricked. Duck's crew takes a look at the bridge and decides to chance it to take care of passengers. 

Duck crosses the bridge slowly on top of Bulgy. Bulgy rightfully so is in fear for his life. But who cares really? He is a butthole. Duck continues the route and is a hero. 

The bridge was mended and Bulgy was sent to be a chicken coupe. He lives a life of being pooped on. Just like how he pooped on the engines. 

Karma!

Season 3 Episode 22: Oliver Owns Up

This episode starts off with a beautiful montage of Duck and Oliver working the branch line. The two of them are all over their Great Western Heritage. 

Duck and Oliver are at the harbor, having a conversation on how Douglas is Oliver's hero for saving him. It is Oliver's go to story now.

He even tells the other engines it in the shed that night. The engines throw out a bunch of words to describe Oliver. Gordon throws one out that stumps Percy. And this begins the dumbing down of Percy. 

Sorry Percy, it's true.

The next day, Oliver is puffing along the line. He had became very Gordon-like and big headed from all the wonderful things that were said about him.  

Oh no, this island has way too many egos! It is like an island of Kayne Wests. 

We move on to another day, The Fat Controller is at the platform waiting to speak to Oliver. He sentences Oliver to learn about trucks. (He is done for!)

You're screwed!

Every other engine warns Oliver that trucks are not to be trusted. Oliver argues that they do not think he can handle it. Duck once again tries to warn him but, Oliver is too far up his own butt. Donald insists that Duck let it go and roll with it.

Shh! I really want to see someone screw up as bad as I did back in the day.

Oliver heads off to fill up some trucks with coal. He pushes the empty trucks under the shoot. He then came back to take the loaded trucks away. 

I love this doofus truck.

The trucks did not want to move. They protested that Oliver had no right to be moving them. (Hey they are just practicing stranger danger.)

Oliver starts to loose his cool and begins to biff and buff them around. (Big mistake Oliver.) Oliver pulls them out and the trucks, once again plot revenge. 

The trucks begin to push him forward. The driver foolishly applies the brakes instead of accepting their faith. The trucks push Oliver towards the turntable that Duck is on.

Luckily, it is not the same line as the one Oliver is on. Duck watches as Oliver goes butt first into the pit. 

Popping a wheelie, Oliver?

Duck teases Oliver right away. (Note to self, there is no "Are you okay?" with Duck) Duck mentions that Donald and Douglas are going to miss that turntable while it is out of commission.

That night, Oliver is pulled out of the pit while, The Fat Controller watches. Oliver apologizes while dangling in the air. The Fat Controller, who I suspect knew this was going to happen, sends Oliver to The Works. 

Well that was a dirty trick.

After a few days of being fixed, Oliver is home. He learned the lesson that trucks are dick heads. 

The end!

Season 3 Episode 21: Escape

Yes this episode starts off proper with Total Hottie Edward! Fan girling! 

So, Edward and Trevor are having a good ol' conversation, probably about the rising cost of their medications. They are then interrupted by a rather grumpy Douglas. Douglas passes them and yells at Edward to stop gossiping.

Don't worry Edward, he probably angry about  Donald getting more screen time.

Later that day, Edward confronts Douglas on his bad attitude. Edward gives a speech about them being old friends and they like to speak to each other about the state of the economy. Edward also throws in the fact, that Trevor and Douglas have in common that they both escaped scrap. Douglas freezes at the word scrap. The two then agree that The Fat Controller needs another engine to help.

What the hell kind of face is that, Edward?

That night Douglas is working the midnight goods train. This takes him to a part of the island where Diesels work. Ooooooo, scary.

Douglas is just about to head home, when his spider senses start tingling. He hears a steam engine. Douglas startled calls out to see who's there? 

A small voice answers explaining, that he is Oliver. He and his brake van, Toad were escaping from being scrapped when they ran out of steam.

You'll no longer be "walking the mile."

Douglas plans to save this poor engine. The two crews work together to make it happen. Douglas hooks up to the front of the engine and pulls him out. The two of them start their journey. 

While trying to clear the station, the three were stopped by the fuzz aka the foreman. Douglas' driver sweet talks the foreman. The foreman declares everything okay and they start off again.

Will $50.00 do?

The butt crack of dawn had appeared by the time the three arrived at their destination. They hide Oliver and Toad at The Works. 

The next day, Douglas tells the tale about Douglas. James and Gordon blurt out that The Fat Controller needs to know. 

Speaking of the devil, The Fat Controller strolls up.

Don't mind me, I'm just picking flowers.

The Fat Controller questions the engines on what they are hiding? Duck pleads that they need another engine to help. The Fat Controller states that he too cheap to get a new steam engine he needs one from scrap. Da da dum!

Douglas interjects that he has one. The Fat Controller laughs and drops the bomb that he knows about Douglas' new pets. The Fat Controller plans to put Oliver on Duck's branch line. 

Oliver and Toad are fixed up and looking spiffy. Oliver is even painted in Great Western livery. Duck's branch line is now known jokingly as "The Little Western"

Toad is freaking adorable too.
