Rosie & Mavis

**Rosie & Mavis** is the first episode of the second season and the eleventh episode overall.

## Plot

Rosie continues to handle passengers in Thomas’ absence, but begins to feel overwhelmed with the increasing numbers. She meets Percy at Elsbridge and mentions this to him, and he expresses that she’s lucky to work with Mavis in the quarry, while he doesn’t have a partner to work with. Rosie is at first uncertain of who he is talking about, but then remembers. She adds that she never learned Mavis’ name, at least until now. She then mentions how she doesn’t see eye to eye with her, notably that she places trucks at the back of the quarry.

Rosie later goes to the quarry to pick up some trucks, and prefers to get it done quickly. Upon entering the quarry, she finds Mavis resting in a siding. Even though she states her simple intentions, she allows herself to get into an argument with Mavis over her strategy again, making her late with her passenger train. At Tidmouth, Daisy informs her that she was ten minutes late. Rosie starts to rant about how Mavis made her late and her far fetched strategies and how she seemingly sleeps on the job. Daisy initially doesn’t see the bad thing about Mavis, but eventually agrees with Rosie. She tells her that she might have to teach Mavis a lesson to get through to her.

The next morning, Rosie’s crew inform her that she is to work at the quarry with Mavis from now on, much to her disappointment. She goes to the quarry, and starts to work with Mavis. Even though the work starts of fine, the two eventually end up getting in the way of each other due to their differences in approaches. Despite this, they still get the work done until there is one truck left. Rosie initially wants to get it, but Mavis appears and says that she can take a break while she sorts out the truck. Rosie tells her how she’s not working and sleeping on the job, and that she has worked harder then her. Mavis retorts the contrary, that she has worked equally as hard. Rosie then snaps and pushes the truck into Mavis, derailing it and damaging her cowcatchers in the process. Realising what she has done, Rosie quickly apologies, which Mavis accepts. Rosie then goes to fetch help.

Harvey and Rocky arrive and put the truck and Mavis on flatbeds. Mr. Percival expresses his disappointment in Rosie, and says that she has to work alone at the quarry until Mavis is repaired. Mavis admits that she kind of brought it on herself.

That night at the sheds, Rosie tells Percy what happened. He shares Mr. Percival’s sentiment and suggests that Rosie should talk to Mavis in a calm matter about the issues. Rosie accepts this and decides to give it a try.

The day after, she works alone in the quarry and manages fine, although she later expresses that it was a bit more difficult then she had first thought. Mavis later returns from being repaired, and reveals that she had requested a partner to help her. Rosie also learns why Mavis puts the trucks in the far back: it’s so they don’t get in the way or get stuck on uneven terrain. Rosie expresses how she initially thought that Mavis had done it on purpose. Mavis also warns her of the trucks being tricky. The two agree to let bygones be bygones, and Rosie has some ideas to improve work at the quarry, which Mavis gladly listens to.

The two later double-head a train to Elsbridge, where they meet Daisy and Percy, the latter of whom has been listening to her rambling about reactions to her new paint job. They explain how they now have managed to get along and make one last delivery for the day. Daisy credits herself for giving Rosie advise, something Percy also adds himself to. Rosie acknowledges how they both helped. As they leave, Mavis expresses that Daisy’s new paint looks bright. Percy is tried if Daisy’s rambling and is even more distraught that he has to wait a few more minutes before he can depart with his train.
