Although impressed by Belle, Marion and Harvey's abilities, this all makes Rebecca feel somewhat upset as she herself does not have any special abilities of her own (and imagines herself with having Diesel 10's claw, Belle's water cannons, Marion's shovel and Harvey's crane arm). Wanting to make herself feel special, Rebecca goes to the Steamworks to try and get Victor and Kevin to get her some special attachments. Victor is unsure that they can do it, and is proven right after their attachments to Rebecca are not as amazing as she wanted them to be.

When Thomas catches up with Rebecca, he tells her that she is a hard-worker. Marion also comforts her by stating that Rebecca is made special by how good she is at seeing the best in everyone and how kind she is. After Rebecca sees Daisy and is impressed by her being a diesel railcar (which Rebecca compliments her for), Marion points out how good Rebecca made Daisy feel about herself. This also makes Rebecca feel good about herself.

This article is about the episode. You may be looking for the magazine story.

“It's just... there's nothing special about me. Belle is a hero who puts out fires, Harvey has a crane that he uses to help others, and you can dig holes with your steam shovel! But what do I do? Who am I? I'm just a steamie. A steamie among steamies.”
― Rebecca to Marion

What Rebecca Does is the fifth episode of the twenty-second series.

Plot

Rebecca is always complimenting everyone on how well they are doing their jobs, for which she makes them feel good about themselves. She soon sees Belle putting out a fire with her water cannons, Marion using her steam shovel at a digging site and Harvey helping Bill and Ben after they get into an accident after their trucks derail, for which she becomes impressed and especially complimented about their abilities (which they are pleased with).

Although impressed by Belle, Marion and Harvey's abilities, this all makes Rebecca feel somewhat upset as she herself does not have any special abilities of her own (and imagines herself with having Diesel 10's claw, Belle's water cannons, Marion's shovel and Harvey's crane arm). Wanting to make herself feel special, Rebecca goes to the Steamworks to try and get Victor and Kevin to get her some special attachments. Victor is unsure that they can do it, and is proven right after their attachments to Rebecca are not as amazing as she wanted them to be.

Thomas later sees Rebecca looking rather depressed at Vicarstown station, though she leaves with her train before saying anything to Thomas. Rebecca later returns to the digging site where Marion is working, where Rebecca confides with her about how upset she is that she does not have anything special about her unlike Belle, Marion and Harvey. When Thomas catches up with Rebecca, he tells her that she is a hard-worker. Marion also comforts her by stating that Rebecca is made special by how good she is at seeing the best in everyone and how kind she is. After Rebecca sees Daisy and is impressed by her being a diesel railcar (which Rebecca compliments her for), Marion points out how good Rebecca made Daisy feel about herself. This also makes Rebecca feel good about herself.
