- “What do you mean by leaving me behind?"
"I'm sorry, Refreshment Lady, but Henry said he might leave without us!"
"You silly engine! Henry was teasing you! He wouldn't have gone without our passengers. He's a guaranteed connection!"
"Well! Where's that Henry?” - ― The Refreshment Lady and Peter Sam
Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady is the seventh episode of the fourth series.
Plot
Sir Handel has been naughty so the Fat Controller has shut him up in the shed for several days as punishment. Peter Sam is now single-handedly running the Skarloey Railway and extremely excited about his new position, despite Skarloey warning him to keep calm. One morning, despite his best efforts, Peter Sam is late to Crovan's Gate. Henry is unimpressed and threatens to leave without his passengers next time. Peter Sam is secretly worried, but soon gets back to work, happy to be running the Skarloey Railway. He begins singing to himself and the coaches happily follow along.
Later that afternoon, Peter Sam makes his scheduled hour-long stop at the Lakeside Station. Whilst there, the crew buy tea and cakes from the refreshment shop at the station. The lady who runs the shop always catches this train home. Peter Sam begins to worry about missing Henry's train as the crew and passengers return. As the Refreshment Lady approaches the platform, Peter Sam suddenly starts, thinking he heard the guard's whistle, whilst the guard believes Peter Sam is simply being too impatient. Whatever the cause the course for it is, the coaches quickly tell him of his mistake, causing him to stop and allow the Refreshment Lady on the train.
Fearing that he will miss Henry, Peter Sam races back to Crovan's Gate as fast as he can. To his relief, he arrives to find that Henry is still there. The Refreshment Lady is angry at Peter Sam and demands to know why he left her behind. Upon hearing his apology and explanation, however, she laughs and explains that Henry was only joking: as a guaranteed connection, he has to wait for the passengers. Peter Sam is furious and is determined to give the larger engine a piece of his mind, but by this point, Henry has already left the station, chortling as he does so.

Trivia
- This episode is based on the story of the same name from The Railway Series book, Four Little Engines.
- Stock footage from A Bad Day for Sir Handel is used.
- A modified model of O.J. from TUGS, Lakesider III, appears in the water as Peter Sam enters the lake station. In a Japanese magazine adapation, Lakesider III was seen with a speech bubble, despite not being known to be sentient.
- In the US narration, George Carlin gives the Refreshment Lady an Italian accent.
- Peter Sam's brief song ("I'm Peter Sam, I'm running this line...") has the same melody as "Skip to My Lou."
- In the Playtime UK VHS, in the last scenes, the guard's and Henry's whistle is omitted.
- Rheneas and Duncan appear briefly even though the former is supposed to be at the works, while the latter is not meant to be introduced until Home at Last.
- This episode marks the Narrow-Gauge Coaches last speaking role to date.
- A narrow gauge coach with a face that was used in this episode is now owned by Twitter user ThomasTankMerch.
- In the Japanese version, Peter Sam's guard gains lines in the place of the narrator saying "The guard says that Peter Sam was too impatient."
Goofs
- In two scenes at Crovan's Gate Henry is wearing Gordon's upset face mask. There is a large gap between Henry's eyes and the face eye sockets due to Gordon's eye mechanism being in a slightly different position than Henry's.
- When Peter Sam is singing, his eyes are misaligned.
- In the American narration, George Carlin says that the Refreshment Lady sells tea and cakes to the "conductor, fireman and the guard," but guard is a British term for conductor and he even replaces the word driver with the word conductor. This is also the first time that two terms are used.
- The end of the set can be seen as Peter Sam crosses the viaduct.
- Throughout this episode, Peter Sam's coaches constantly keep gaining and losing their faces.
- When Peter Sam talks to the Refreshment Lady at the end, blu-tak can be seen under his face.
