**Saved You!** is the tenth episode of the twelfth series.

## Plot

Thomas is one of the engines who likes to help others out. If they are broken down, he takes them to the works. He does not want any confusion and delay.

One day, Percy with The Fat Controller on board meets Thomas at Maithwaite. The Fat Controller orders Thomas to collect a fireman who is a hero for saving Lady Hatt's cat. Thomas sets off to collect the fireman. Along the way, he finds his chance to be a hero when he sees a water tower about to fall on Duck. Thomas orders Duck to move. Duck moves and the water tower falls to the ground, crashing into bits. Thinking he has saved the day, Thomas is pleased, but Duck is cross. He explains that Rocky was lowering the tower on his flatbed. Rocky had been hidden behind the tree. Thomas apologises and continues on his journey.

It is not long until he comes across a fallen tree on the track. Worried about engines crashing into it, he backs up. He tells a signalman about it and so when Harvey chuffs by, he is sent on the other track. Satisfied, Thomas sets off, only to find Donald and Douglas behind the tree. They have been waiting for Harvey to clear the tree. They are cross when Thomas admits his mistake. Thomas apologises and puffs off once more.

Thomas soon finds Toby. Smoke and steam are billowing everywhere. Thomas is horrified because Toby has broken down on the main line. Hearing Gordon's whistle, he moves Toby to a siding. Gordon rushes by. Toby is cross, and tells Thomas that Gordon was bringing an engineer to fix him. Thomas knows he made another mistake. Now he is almost late. Thomas finds Percy and asks him to take the fireman instead. Percy is delighted. With Percy gone, Thomas goes to set things right. He collects the engineer to fix Toby, finds Harvey and tells him to move the tree and puffs back to Tidmouth.

Suddenly, he sees Bertie and some children. Bertie explains that he is stuck in the mud. Thomas decides to take the children to the medal ceremony. Once there, Lady Hatt nominates the fireman a hero, and the children declare Thomas their hero. Thomas was very happy to help.
