## Synopsis

Word spreads about Henry's mysterious disappearance. Some engines work to find him. Others start placing the blame...

## Plot

In a flashback, Molly makes a stop at Knapford Station, and sees Donald, one of the engines she is looking for. They exchange greetings, and she asks where Douglas is. Donald whistles, startling him awake from a nearby shed. At first he is angry, but settles down when he sees Molly. Now that she has both of their attentions, she explains her problem.

The next morning, at Tidmouth Sheds, the engines wake up. Everything is going normal, until Edward notices that Henry is not in his shed. The engines begin panicking, and then Diesel rolls by, happily surprising Percy. James begins theorizing that Diesel played a role on Henry's strange absence. Annoyed by this, Gordon leaves the sheds to wait at Knapford for the express. Edward leaves shortly after, trying to convince James to be nice, to no avail.

At Knapford, Sir Topham Hatt confides to Duck about his worry for Henry. Duck becomes worried too, as Douglas puffs in. After a quick explanation from Duck, he now knows what's going on, too. But Sir Topham Hatt has worse news. He explains further that Henry **never made it** to the Mainland, and the signalman at Barrow never saw him pass. Feeling even more anxious, Duck rushes off to tell the others.

Later that same day, Sir Topham Hatt calls Percy and Donald to Knapford to join Douglas, who hadn't left. He questions Percy about Henry, and if he saw anything last night. Percy recalls that they passed each other, but nothing more, and then he leaves the station. The twins leave to go searching.

On the main line, Douglas asks where they think he could be. Donald jokingly replies that he could be hiding in a tunnel from some rain. Then, Douglas spots something on the track next to them. They stop near it, and realize it's Henry's train. They deliver it the rest of the way, and return to Knapford, informing Sir Topham Hatt that they didn't find him. Feeling defeated, they go back to their sheds for the evening.

At the same time, Diesel is busy shunting the last few trucks in the yard, when James pulls up next to him. He immediately accuses him of Henry's disappearance. Extremely confused, Diesel is is surprised that he's missing. James says he's playing dumb, and threatens that if he doesn't tell the truth soon, he'll disappear too. He leaves the yard in a huff, leaving behind a stunned and shocked Diesel.
