Percy diverted the points, which sent Thomas crashing into some trucks at the quarry.

### Attempted Suicide

Seeing no other way out, Thomas tried to drown himself. Percy arrived before Thomas rolled off into the water, but was to late to stop him.

The 2 made amends, and Thomas was later helped out of the water.

### Attack on Tidmouth Sheds

To save themselves, the engines ran into the turntable well. Though they were safe, the sheds were burnt badly.

### Ambushing the criminals

Thomas found 98462 and Lorry 1 in a shed. He asked them to explain about why they attacked the sheds, to which 98462 responded by bumping Thomas off the rails. The other engines luckily helped to stop the criminals, and the Fat Controller left to talk to Billy Smith.

### Race with Percy

One morning at Knapford, Thomas and Percy decided to have a race to Vicarstown Station, seeing as they were both headed down there. During the race, a cloud of steam started coming from Thomas, and he was slowly brought to a hault. Percy offered to get help for Thomas, and went to the nearest signal box. Ryan soon arrived to collect Thomas. He brought Thomas to the steam works.

### Return to Station Pilot

Thomas had no choice but to return as Knapford Station pilot. While shunting coaches, Thomas accidentally crashed into a coach, breaking the glass. Thomas then noticed a familiar sighting, S.C Ruffy. Thomas was flabbergasted by the troublesome trucks return, and asked S.C Ruffy where he had been. S.C Ruffy explained and expressed that he was sorry for what he had done in his past. Thomas was a bit apprehensive to accepted S.C Ruffy due to his past behaviors. That night, Thomas told the other engines about S.C Ruffy, and how Oliver had once pulled him apart.
