Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* FreudianExcuse: In a parallel to James, Sheffield's GrumpyBear disposition stems from a horrific accident that resulted in him [[spoiler: killing a man after his speeding during rainy conditions caused him to derail and smash into a car. This caused Sheffield to develop a psychological fear of moving too fast, causing him to move at an abysmally slow pace. His snailish pace would end up frustrating workmen and engines alike, and their unwillingness to hear his side of the story caused him to feel isolated and angry, thus making him progressively angrier and eventually lashing out at everyone. In addition, because of a lack of help for his trauma, his psychological state left him unable to make himself move above a snail's pace despite trying to do so.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Eric gets a fair bit this episode after Edward advises him to be more willing to ask questions and think about subject matters rather than just being confused whenever he's dealing with something unfamiliar. This development would prove pivotal in helping him with his EurekaMoment below.

* WhamLine: The jaws of every viewer dropped when Henry revealed to Gordon, James, and Eric that he and Emily are married. Apparently, they were talking about it as a joke, but the local vicar just so happened to be at the shed, and he legally did so with their crews as witnesses. They did it because there's no law against non-faceless vehicles being legally married.

* CallBack: To several episodes.
** Sheffield brings up the events of "Percy" and "Quarantine".
** After news spreads that Henry and Emily are legally married, it apparently causes an argument between Thomas and Kate. This ties back to the rough patch their relationship has hit due to Kate being a GreenEyedMonster and assuming Thomas was cheating on her with Samantha.
