Excellent Emily

"Excellent Emily" is a twelfth season episode narrated by Michael Angelis.

Plot
Emily is the only one who finishes her jobs on time, and thus is called "excellent" by Sir Topham Hatt. When Emily later goes to collect Trevor from Farmer McColl's and take him to Sodor Airport, she ignores warnings from the others and eventually ends up in a muddy pond. Emily asks Murdoch to help, and, remembering what happened, goes safely to the airport.

Trivia

 * First appearance of Duck, Murdoch and Trevor's CGI faces.
 * First appearance of Dowager Hatt in CGI.
 * This episode marks Duck's first appearance since the seventh season, Duck's first speaking role since the sixth, and Murdoch's first speaking role since the seventh.
 * When the narrator says lots of engines broke down it is unrealistic. Emily would break down, as she has the fewest driving wheels and on tricky surfaces like going through that mud. Someone else like Henry would have a much better chance.
 * This is the first episode where Emily and Murdoch are seen talking to each other. And also where Emily and Duck are seen talking to each other.
 * The 'Wellsworth Line' is mentioned by Murdoch. This may imply Edward's Branch Line (although this line does not connect back up to the main line, so cannot be a detour).

Goofs

 * Murdoch has gained a Scottish accent since his last appearance.
 * Bulgy appears with his old cream-and-red livery.
 * Duck's face is smaller and is missing its prominent cheekbones.
 * It was incredibly dangerous for Jeremy to land while going over Trevor.
 * When Emily huffs into the pool of mud, her side rods aren't moving
 * When Trevor is seen at the airport, he is not being driven by Jem Cole. Also, the CGI driver is out of scale- he's too big compared to Trevor.
