Home at Last

"Tunnels are not dance floors and you are not a pop star! If it happens again, I shall find way of cutting you down to size. In other words, your career is on the line. Need I say more?"

- The Fat Controller

Home at Last is the ninth episode of the fourth season.

Plot
Peter Sam feels glum about his accident with the slate trucks and his cracked funnel, but the Fat Controller has a surprise in store for him, which turns out to be Skarloey. Peter Sam tells him of a rough, rocking and rolling engine called Duncan who came in his absence, who, as discovered minutes later, has just stuck in a tunnel. Skarloey goes to help, and after leaving some workmen behind to fix the tunnel, he helps Duncan home, where the Fat Controller reprimands Duncan.
