“I heard all about your heroic actions, Emily. You really know how to think on your wheels and solve problems. In fact, from now on, I'd like you to be our official safety engine!”
― The Fat Controller

Emily to the Rescue is the fifth episode of the twenty-fourth series.

Plot[]

A safety inspector is coming to the island to make sure everything is running well. All the engines will have to be checked over and can continue with their regular work. Then, there will be an emergency drill. The engine closest to Rocky is supposed to collect him, and the other engines need to head to Knapford Station.

Everything runs smoothly until it is time for Rocky to be collected. Rebecca, James, and Percy all go to collect Rocky, not knowing who is closest. Percy overruns a red signal, causing all three engines to derail. At Knapford, the Fat Controller hears the news. Emily immediately goes to fetch Rocky to help Percy, James, and Rebecca.

Meanwhile, Gordon is forced to go a different route with the express, and all the road vehicles have to take a detour too since the accident happened at a level crossing. All the traffic causes a road bridge to start cracking. Emily calls out to Bertie, who takes all the vehicles off the bridge.

But Gordon still does not know this. He goes under the bridge and is frozen with fear as it is about to collapse. Luckily, Emily brings Rocky to hold the bridge up so Gordon can move. The safety inspector is impressed with Emily for preventing a nasty accident, and so is the Fat Controller. He has Emily made the official Sodor safety engine—and finally given the number 12.
