“Happy birthday, Ma'am. Here is your very special birthday present!”
― Percy

Percy's Parcel is the tenth episode of the thirteenth series.

Plot

It is Dowager Hatt's birthday, and the Fat Controller sends Thomas to collect the birthday guests. Percy feels left out as he has not been given a special, to which Mavis tells Percy that the Fat Controller is sure to have a special for him and tells him to let her know how it goes. As a matter of fact, the Fat Controller gives Percy the most important special of all; he is to collect Dowager Hatt's birthday parcel from Brendam and take it to Knapford. However, once at Brendam, Percy decides to show the parcel to Mavis rather than taking it to Knapford.

At the Quarry, Mavis is too busy working to look at Percy's parcel. Suddenly, Rocky drops a stack of slate onto Mavis' trucks and slate dust flies everywhere, covering Percy, Mavis, and the birthday parcel. Percy worriedly goes to the wash-down to be cleaned, but water splashes off of him and onto the parcel. He then takes it to the Sodor Steamworks to get it dried, but the parcel ends up looking wonky.

Percy goes to hide the parcel in a siding as opposed to showing it to Mavis or taking it to Knapford, being too worried about what Dowager Hatt would say if he arrived with a damaged parcel. Edward and Mavis stop close by, and Percy overhears Mavis telling Edward that she has a delivery of new crates from Victor. So, Percy goes back to the steamworks and asks Victor if he can have a new crate to carry the birthday present in. Percy arrives at Knapford station just in time where the birthday present turns out to be a portrait of Dowager Hatt. Mavis tells Percy that his delivery was special, and Percy feels very happy.

Trivia

  • Keith Wickham joins the US voice cast.
  • This episode marks the first of two things:
  • According to the magazines, the portrait was originally planned to be delivered to the museum.
  • This episode marks last with a few things as well:
    • The last episode written by Robyn Charteris, as well as the only episode she wrote for the thirteenth series.
    • The last episode in which Dowager Hatt is called "Sir Topham Hatt's mother" in the US dub.
  • This episode aired before Hero of the Rails in Poland, meaning that the audience likely would not be familiar with Victor or the Sodor Steamworks.

  • When Edward and Mavis leave the junction, Mavis can be seen puffing steam.
