Something in the Air

"Engines don't swim, Henry. You were meant to deliver fish, not swim with them. You should know that by now."

- Sir Topham Hatt

Something in the Air is the fifteenth episode of the fifth season.

Plot
Thomas' trip to Brendam is delayed by a crate of fish falling onto him and eroded tracks on the coastal route, but Henry does not pay attention to Thomas' warnings and leaves before the signalman can be warned. Henry puffs straight into the sea and has to stay there all night until he is rescued. When Henry returns Thomas jokes with him about the whole adventure.

Goofs

 * When Thomas says "I can't help it, it's the fish", the steam appears forward, then is played backwards, then played forwards again.
 * After Henry reaches the fog, he loses two vans.
 * Before Henry falls into the sea, his brakes are applied and his wheels stop moving, but when he does fall into the sea, his wheels are moving.
 * In real life, an engine would sink in water.
 * When Thomas puffs away with Henry at the end of the episode, the puffing noise starts long before Thomas moves.
 * Why was Henry put on the barge of fish instead of being taken to the works via rails?
 * Nothing is said about Henry's driver, fireman, or guard after the crash.
 * There was no need for Sir Topham Hatt to blame Henry for his accident.
 * The barge would have sunk due to Henry's weight.
 * Thomas is able to pull Henry on his own, who is much bigger than he is, but in Edward, Gordon and Henry, Henry needed Edward's help to pull Gordon, who is about the same size as him.
 * Thomas' driver has a beard in one scene, but in another he does not.
