'''Air date''': September 20th, 2018 (UK)

Fed up with the other engines pushing him around, Philip refuses to give way when he and James end up facing each other on a one-track bridge. As James refuses too, it's stalemate. But with engines stacked up behind them and the bridge in danger of collapsing, Philip decides that sometimes the littlest engine can actually be the bigger engine!

!!Tropes:
* AnAesop: Everyone makes mistakes, but things can get much worse if we don't admit them and say sorry.
* BaitAndSwitch: When James is about to apologize to Philip for accidentally covering him in oil, he instead apologizes to his paintwork.
* TheBully: James, to Philip. While he's not of the sadistic sort like Diesel, he is ''extremely'' inconsiderate.
* BullyHunter: Philip.
* CallBack: In the AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle segment, Thomas recalls the events of "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS19E1WhosGeoffrey Who's Geoffrey?]]" and "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS21E1SpringtimeForDiesel Springtime for Diesel]]"
* CharacterDevelopment: Philip receives some in this episode when he gains a backbone (?) and stands up to James.
* EasilyForgiven: Played with. Phillip is adamant that James apologise for all his inconsiderate behaviour (which includes stalling several trains on a weak bridge that might have ''collapsed under their weight''). When the Fat Controller finally forces a very quick and unconvincing apology from James however, Phillip cheerfully accepts it with no hard feelings.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even the two troublesome trucks Philip was carrying glare at James for stalling the engines on the bridge.
* ExtremeDoormat: Philip, initially.
* ImagineSpot: Philip has one where the bridge collapses and he, James, Thomas, Rebecca, and Paxton sink.
* JerkassBall: James grabs it in this episode. James is stuck-up, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but with a big heart.]] But in this episode, he downright bullies Philip. Some fans were not pleased with this.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The engines' reactions to being sunk in Philip's fantasy sequence:
-->'''James''': My paint!\\
'''Philip''': My sardines!\\
'''Paxton''': I fell in the water.
* NeverMyFault: James keeps blaming his mistakes on Philip.
* OrderedApology: Philip keeps demanding James to apologize everytime he was a jerk to him, which he doesn't. Then in the ending, The Fat Controller orders James to not only apologize for bullying Philip, but also to the other engines for blocking their way on the bridge, which he does.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Philip gives one to James.
-->'''Philip''': No! You didn't stop at the signalman's red flag, and...you made a mistake!\\
'''James''': Oh, did I?\\
'''Philip''': Yes, you did! So you need to reverse and you need to say sorry. You've been unfair and, quite frankly, not very nice!\\
'''James''': ''(gasp)'' What do you mean?\\
'''Philip''': Well, you didn't say sorry when you knocked the crates into me at the docks, you didn't say sorry when you splattered us both with oil, you didn't say sorry when you jumped ahead at me at the wash-down, and now, you're blocking the bridge!
* ShamedByAMob: For causing the huge delay on the bridge, James receives angry glares from Philip, Thomas, Annie, Clarabel, Paxton, and ''the troublesome trucks''.
-->'''Thomas:''' This is ridiculous!
-->'''Annie:''' Really, James!
-->'''Clarabel:''' ''You'' should have moved!
* TookALevelInBadass: Philip, in this episode, for standing up to James.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: James doesn't stop at the signalman's flag, and finds himself on the same track as Philip on the bridge, which then leads to the other engines stuck on the line as well.
* TheUnapologetic: James refuses to apologize for any of the crap he puts Philip through. He does apologize to Philip and the other engines at the end of the episode, though.
