Molly's Special Special

"Molly's Special Special" is a ninth season episode.

Plot
Molly is dismayed that Emily laughed at her for having the job of pulling "empties", so Thomas vows to help her make her trucks look important. Thomas has some tarpaulins put on Molly's "empties" to create the illusion of covering an important load and is satisfied, but he later rashly tells Gordon that Molly's special will be more important than the Express, and thinks of another idea. He borrows some lights from Maithwaite and has them put on the trucks. The two later show them off to the others, but a gust of wind blows a tarpaulin off and the secret is revealed. Molly, humiliated, steams off, but when news of a special of coal for the engines comes, Molly sees her chance and she and Thomas collect trucks of coal. The two go off to get more trucks, stopping only to tease Gordon, who was stopped at a crossing to let them pass.
