"Those are my coaches. Give them back!"

- Thomas

Emily's New Coaches is the first episode of the seventh season.

Plot
A new engine named Emily has to take some coaches, and Annie and Clarabel are offended when her driver says "They'll do" and couples them up. Later, Emily is shunting Annie and Clarabel when Oliver tells her they are Thomas' coaches. Emily tries to find Thomas, who in the meantime was sent to collect some new coaches. Emily is looking for Thomas when she is told Oliver hasn't cleared the crossing, and she goes to investigate. Oliver has broken down, and Thomas is heading towards him and can't stop. Emily pushes Oliver away just in the nick of time, and in gratitude the Fat Controller presents her with the new coaches.

 * Emily's safety valve is referred to as a dome.

 * After Emily drops Annie and Clarabel off at the yard, her siderods suddenly change position as she leaves to find Thomas.
 * Thomas had plenty of time to stop for Oliver.
 * Thomas has trucks when Emily saves Oliver, but he was supposed to be pulling Emily's coaches.
 * When the narrator says "Later, the Fat Controller praised Emily", Oliver looks cross for no given reason.
