Follow that Flour

"Thomas, you left a trail of flour all over the Wharf!"

- James

Follow that Flour is the first episode of the tenth season.

Plot
One day, Thomas was in a grumpy mood as he had been shutting Troublesome Trucks and had been using all his puff to keep them in order. James arrived and told Thomas that the Fat Controller gave him the job to collect the flour to make the cakes and bread for the children's harvest festival and asked Thomas to shunt the truck of flour for him. Thomas was jealous that he did not get the job and mumbled that James is a bossy boiler.

Thomas wanted to finish the job quickly, but without taking any care, he hit the truck so hard that the door on the right side opens and leaks flour, but Thomas did not know. Thomas had an idea to hide James' truck so James would have to find him and the truck himself. After Thomas left, James who had came back from taking on water noticed the flour falling out of his truck that Thomas had and tried to tell Thomas, but he was to far to hear him, so James went after Thomas. Every time Thomas finds a hiding place, he was surprised that James knew where he was and continues trying to hide the truck. James finally caught up to Thomas and was furious when he told Thomas that he left a trail of flour all over the Wharf. Thomas was upset after realizing his actions and goes to the flour mill to get a new truck of flour.

But when Thomas arrives at the flour mill, it was closed. Dusty Dave who was leaving told Thomas there was one truck filled with flower. Thomas knew he couldn't move all the empty trucks by himself and went back to the Wharf. Thomas told James he was sorry for not listening and the two friends made up as they arrived at the flour mill shutting all the empty trucks out of the way for James to collect the flour truck. That evening, the flour is made into delicious cakes and bread for the festival and Thomas cheers for James as he heads home to the sheds.
