"A new engine arrvies on Sodor much to Bulgy's dismay. Will he be succesful in his attempts to stop this electrical engine?" - (Episode Description.)

## Emu

### Plot

The episode starts with Smeg waking up with a hangover having no recollection of the events the night before. Bulgy then informs him of the party he threw last night at the bus depot. Smeg also finds out that Bertie is out of commission after injuring himself at the party by throwing himself off the top of the bus depot. Bulgy then warns Smeg of a new engine that he heard about but Smeg dismisses Bulgy’s words showing a lack of care.

Coincidentally the new engine Bulgy was talking about appears next to the bus depot and then reveals itself as an Electrical Multiple Unit with the face of an Emu. Smeg is shown to be shocked at the sight of such a peculiar creature while Bulgy wastes no time confronting the bird-train hybrid. The EMU squawks back at Bulgy and then reverses. Bulgy, thinking he has one, yells at the EMU telling it to leave the roads alone. The EMU stops reversing and starts charging at Bulgy, moving him out of the way and knocking the double decker bus on his side.

After this an outraged Bulgy holds an indignation meeting with Smeg and Urine to come up with a plan to stop the bird. He asks them for suggestions to no avail. Bulgy then comes up with an idea to derail the EMU by placing a coin on the line. He and the other buses go to a railway line to place the coin but Smeg is doubtful of Bulgy’s plan. Arthur, who is pulling a goods train then passes the buses and derails after hitting the coin. Bulgy, who was expecting Emu, goes onto the railway line but is then ran over again by Emu.

Bulgy then hatches another plan to stop the Emu by getting a breakdown crane to pick up the Emu when it passes by. Bulgy with the help of Smeg and George starts up the breakdown cranes but breaks down. Bulgy, frustrated, hits  one of the cranes until it works which it does but picks Bulgy up and drops him onto the line. Bulgy is ran over by Emu again he dismisses George afterwards. Later that day Bulgy is still trying to think of a new plan but to no avail until he sees an opportunity with Emily.

Bulgy’s plan was to lie to Emily about Emu saying something about her behind her back hoping it would result in her bashing the bird off the rails. After explaining it to Smeg he sets his plan in motion as Emily conveniently pulls up beside the depot with Emu conveniently nearby. The plan goes according to plan but comes back to bite Bulgy in the back literally as Emu is bashed off the rails and into the back of the shed ramming Bulgy and creating a hole in the back of the bus shed. Bulgy is pissed off but Smeg tells him to look on the bright side of things as his plan worked but not as he wanted it to.
