## Synopsis

Diesel Starts Plotting Ways To Bring 'Boss' To The Island. He Causes Trouble, But Puts Himself As A Victim Also. Will He Get Away With It?

## Plot

Percy shunts Gordon's coaches to him one day, and Gordon then waits for the guard's whistle to blow. When it does, Gordon says it looks like it's time to go. He then leaves with the express.

On his journey, he boasts about how he's the fastest to himself. Meanwhile, Diesel shunts a truck onto the crossing, saying it'll be fun before sneaking away. Then Gordon races along the line and sees the truck, and tries to stop, but it's too late. Gordon smashes right into the truck and derails instantly. He then asks who put the truck there and if the passengers are okay, to which they say they are, which relieves Gordon. Diesel laughs evilly at the damage he caused.

Later, Edward races down the line, saying it's a beautiful day today, and then sees Gordon's accident at the crossing. Edward asks Gordon if he's alright, and Gordon says he is and asks Edward to get the breakdown train. Edward agrees and is about to set off when Diesel shunts some trucks into him, shoving him straight into Gordon and off the rails. Diesel laughs, saying it was hilarious, and leaves.

After that, Edward asks Gordon what they do now. Gordon says they just have to yell for help, and they start doing so. Soon after, Toby arrives with the breakdown train to clean up the mess. Sir Topham Hatt is on the scene and asks if any of them are hurt, but Edward says they're not, and Gordon says they're just damaged. Sir Topham Hatt then asks Henry to take the two to the works. Henry agrees and sets off for the works.

Later, Henry puffs along the line, in a hurry to get to the docks quickly, when he sees a truck on the line. He tries to stop but it's too late, he crashes into the truck and derails, and complains about missing the ferry. Diesel watches from afar, and then makes himself look like a victim of the crash by running into the mess. Diesel asks Henry what he's doing there, and Henry says that he crashed into a truck, so Diesel asks what they should do, and Henry says they just have to wait for help. Diesel is frustrated at the sound of that.

Later, Toby arrives with the breakdown train again, this time to help Henry and Diesel. Diesel assumes that Toby will be taking them to the works, and Toby says he can take Diesel, but Henry is too heavy. Henry then suggests that Toby should get James to shunt him to the works.

A few minutes later, James arrives to take Henry to the works. Henry thanks him and they set off. Because no one suspects that Diesel caused the accidents, he'll have to work on being good so Sir Topham Hatt can listen to his ideas and bring his boss to the island.
