"Those are my coaches. Give them back!"

- Thomas

"Emily's New Coaches" is the seventh season pilot.

Plot
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.
