Flying Stones

This is the 48th episode of the third season

Plot

 * The episode opens with Wisdom at the Rebirthing Shed being completely refurbished. Norman, Low Hamm Hatt and Shawn Briggs. She is completely rebuilt and she is now purple and wears the number 1618 on her side tanks. Dominick is waiting for Gabby to bring his coaches Hailee and Herah to the platform at Southberry Village Station when he sees Wisdom for the first time. Dominick adores Wisdom's new look as much as the previous look but is also upset that his favorite friend changed her look. Wisdom meets Fergus and assures him that she is just fine. The fat controller shuts Thomas up in the shed for damaging a trio of milk vans in the previous episode. Duck, Oliver, Donald and Douglas complain that Mike the miniature engine is being overworked, so The Fat Controller makes plans to bring in a new miniature engine to accompany Mike. The fat controller is planning to build his new bus yard near Hompstead Hollow station deep in the heart of the town of Hompstead Hollow. Tensions rise between the fat controller, Low Hamm and Ms. Jenny. It is discovered to have been the one who blew up Top Hamm Hall Cafe. Wisdom is still very worried that the fat controller will be cross with her but to her surprise, he isn't upset with her at all. Dominick stands up for Wisdom when he thinks she is not there because the other engines are talking about Wisdom badly behind her back. The engines on the branch line are sent to work in the mine. While Wisdom is making her way to the mine Diesel 10 overtakes her and she calls him a big bozo with a claw. At the end of the episode Diesel 10 starts a rockslide at the mine and a fire breaks out

Goofs

 * Sir Top Hamm Hatt says that Thomas damaging the milk vans happened the day before this episode takes place, however at the end of Rebirthing Shed it is said that Wisdom goes to the Rebirthing Shed at the end of the day. It is hard to believe that both episodes took place on the exact same day.
