History Recap / ThomasAndFriendsS6E21ThomasPercyAndTheSqueak

* RedHerring: After Annie and Clarabel are cleaned, Thomas hears a squeaking sound. At first, it is assumed that the coaches' wheels are wearing down, so Thomas' crew oil them, but the squeaking continues. Once Thomas arrives to collect Allicia Bottis, the squeaking is revealed to be coming from a mouse who was inside Clarabel.

Alicia Botti, a famous opera singer, is coming to Sodor for a concert and the engines are wondering who will take her to the venue at the castle. However, they all agree that Percy will not be chosen as he is too dirty for the job, to Percy's anger. Come the following day, the Fat Controller had chosen Thomas and tells him to be squeaky clean.

Thomas goes to the washdown where Percy is waiting to be cleaned. However, Thomas insists that he must go next as he has an important job. Percy sets off, still dirty, to collect some coaches for his guaranteed connection. However, once Thomas and his coaches are cleaned, they hear a squeak. His crew assume that Annie and Clarabel's wheels are the cause of this, so they oil them. But, once on the move, the squeak continues on, making Thomas worried.

At Brendam, Thomas pulls up to collect Miss Botti and the Fat Controller opens one of Clarabel's doors. Unfortunately, there is a mouse in the carriage which was a result of the squeaking, which horrifies Miss Botti; she screams so loudly that all of the windows around Brendam break. Disgusted at the sight of a mouse in Clarabel's carriage, Miss Botti refuses to ride in Clarabel, much to the embarrassment of Thomas and the Fat Controller. Just then, Percy arrives back from his guaranteed connection and Miss Botti considers him as a proper engine because of his dirty appearance and decides to ride in him.

Later, Thomas is back at the washdown when Percy arrives. This time, he lets Percy go next for his wash. That night, whilst Miss Botti is performing her concert at the castle, Thomas and Percy are at Tidmouth Sheds where the mouse, whom Thomas named "Alicia", now lives.
