Rocky Rescue is an upcoming episode from the nineteenth season.

Plot
One day, the Rescue Team is waiting for an emergency to happen. To pass the time, Flynn recalls the time he put out the fire at Brendam Docks. He begins to brag about his rail and road wheels when Belle interrupts him. Rocky, however, doesn't have any takes to tell. Suddenly, the alarm goes off, and the rescue team are arguing who will go save the day. Captain shoots into the water, and when it's confirmed at Rocky is needed, Captain claims it was a practice. Thomas couples up to Rocky, and sets off to the crash site. The other rescue vehicles are very disappointed.

On the hill to Ulfstead Castle, a rock had fallen on the line, derailing poor Henry. Luckily, Thomas and Rocky rescue him, and put him back on the rails. Henry sets off to be checked over. Two workmen have finally gotten the rock off the track, but it rolls down the hill and hits Rocky. Rocky's coupling breaks, and Rocky plunges down the hill. He takes a corner too fast and derails on his side. Thomas sets off to gather the rescue vehicles. Each one wants to go individually, especially Captain, but is forced to stay behind because they aren't near any water. He claims it was another one of his practices as they set off.

Back at the accident, Rocky encourages an impatient workman when the team arrives. At once, they bicker about who arrived first. Rocky says that they'll need to work together, but Butch is determined to do it himself. He tries to drag Rocky back into the rails, but it doesn't work. Harold ten attempts to lift Rocky, but Rocky is too heavy. Belle and Flynn try to pull him back onto the rails, but only succeed in pulling him farther from the tracks. All the while, Rocky is tryi to get them to work together. They all agree and they all pull Rocky back onto the tracks.

When they return, Rocky thanks them all, but the alarm once again sets off. This time, it's at the docks. Everyone sets off, including Captain, who is happy that this time, it wasn't a practice.
