“How come I didn't see the invisible engine?"
"Probably because he's invisible, eh?”
― Percy and Nia

Seeing is Believing is the thirteenth episode of the twenty-second series.

Plot

Merlin is visiting Sodor from the Mainland to deliver steel. He is excited about visiting Sodor as he will be seeing Thomas and tries to make himself invisible, to which Thomas jokes about not being able to see him. Salty later jokes about this to Rebecca, though she finds out that he is not actually invisible.

Merlin later comes up alongside Thomas and surprises him. While doing so, Merlin hears a whistle in the distance and is surprised by Trevor, having never seen a traction engine before. Thomas then introduces Trevor to Merlin, who also tries to convince Trevor about his invisibility.

All of the engines at Tidmouth Sheds begin talking about Merlin, though Percy is upset about not being able to see him. He dreams about trying to see Merlin, but cannot because he is invisible. Percy tries looking for him the next day and soon hears a whistle that he believes is Merlin's. Although Merlin comes up beside Percy, Percy does not know that he is the engine and rushes off to tell Thomas about how he has heard his whistle. This makes Percy very happy by how he thinks he has seen the invisible engine.
