The Plan

The Plan is the 6th episode in the series.

Plot synopsis
Percy and Thomas were waiting at a shed when Sir Topham Hatt and Stephen showed up. Thomas had asked them to come because of his and Percy’s conversation with Bill and Ben. The two engines explained what Bill and Ben had told them, and Sir Topham Hatt was fascinated. Stephen wasn’t so sure. Sir Topham said that now that they knew Diesel 10, they could defeat him. Now Stephen understood, and had a plan. Bill and Ben said that 10 really does believe that he is the legendary diesel, so we can use that against him, Stephen explained. He said that they could confuse 10 for long enough for someone to knock him down. Thomas asked what about his army, but Stephen knew that the diesels would be too stupid to do anything on their own, so that would leave Boomer and his army. Even without Diesel 10 they would carry on because they only want to kill Sir Topham, not take over the railway. Percy knew what they could do: We could take Boomer to the magic buffers, and when he tries to climb through them, we arrest him. That will make Martin and Sanchez leave and Lacey will be easy to take down. So they were going to put their plan into action. Now we see the sheds, and Diesel 10 was thanking Boomer for killing Paxton. Norman moaned that Paxton was his best friend. Then 10 said that it was time to make his move, and that he needed another diesel to take Paxton’s place, but he had found two that would help them. He said that their names were Den and Dart. Suddenly, Martin came in with two more diesels.
