"That's not fair! You can't make Sonny do your jobs!"
"Why not? It's not my fault he's silly enough to do them for me."
"I don't understand you sometimes."
"Nobody does."
― Percy and Diesel

Sonny's Second Chance is the thirteenth episode of the twenty-fourth series.

Plot[]

After being given a chance to prove himself by the Fat Controller, Sonny does not think his chances are good when he is shown hostility by Gordon, who told Thomas and Percy that he is mistakenly a thief, and James when he saved him from a watermelon accident at Brendam, and thought he is a thief too.

It seems Diesel is the only one really willing to be his friend, but it turns out Diesel is just tricking Sonny into doing his jobs for him. Thomas warns him that Diesel is not to be trusted, which he finds out while pulling fish trucks.

Diesel arrives at Ffarquhar and talks to Percy about Sonny, but he does not believe him, and he refused to help him. Diesel tries to follow after him, but gets diverted into a siding, derails and is about to fall into a pit. Sonny reverses to the siding, derailing the fish trucks over the points and on the ground next to his tracks in the process, and saves Diesel. Although he had derailed the fish trucks, Sonny's heroic actions earn him praise from the Fat Controller as a really useful engine indeed.

When arriving at Knapford, Gordon and James apologised to Sonny for their pessimistic behaviour, and he officially became part of the North Western Railway.
