Confusion Without Delay

"You have caused confusion and dela... Oh, uh, confusion and um... Well, uh... a great deal of confusion!"

- Sir Topham Hatt

Confusion Without Delay is the third episode from the twenty-second season.

Plot
Rebecca, the big tender engine, surprises the Fat Controller by arriving early on the island. After all the other engines tell her how fast and useful they all are, Rebecca wants to impress them too. But she tries too hard that she turns up too early for the passengers and leaves early too.

 * When the Fat Controller addresses Thomas, Percy, Nia and Emily before introducing Rebecca, there are trucks behind Percy during his close-up, but they are not present in Emily's close-up.
