Edward brings Trevor to the yard so that Thomas can take him to the harbour for work. While he is there, Trevor enjoys giving the children rides and is sad to leave. Thomas tells him that he might be needed again some day.

The new engine Duck arrives on Sodor to help Percy, but the big engines tease him mercilessly. Percy and Duck decide to get revenge on the big engines by blocking their entrance to the shed.
