Sticky Toffee Thomas

"The party was a great success, and there was only one thing more popular than the sticky toffee apples. And that was sticky toffee Thomas! (The party was a great success, and there was only one thing more popular than the sticky taffy apples. And that was sticky taffy Thomas! - Michael Brandon's US Narration)"

- The narrator

Sticky Toffee Thomas, retitled Sticky Taffy Thomas in American releases, is the eighteenth episode of the tenth season.

Plot
Thomas sees some children making costumes while delivering some equipment to a party in the countryside and wants to go to the party in costume too. When Percy later sees him at the washdown, he jokingly suggests that Thomas go covered in bubbles. Thomas takes his joke the wrong way and puffs off, still covered in soap suds. Unluckily, they get into his eyes and he cannot see where he is going, and he crashes into Toby, breaking Toby's axle. To make amends, Thomas offers to take the toffee tanker for Toby and puffs off after being cleaned of the suds, but after seeing Jeremy in the air and contemplating going as a plane, his concentration drifts. He takes the wrong turning and crashes into the buffers, opening the toffee tank and getting drenched in toffee. Thomas is upset, but spies an old line and uses it as a shortcut. The line has fallen out of use and Thomas is covered with branches and leaves, but gets to the party on time, where he is declared to have the best costume.
