Plot
When James teases Percy about being scared, Henry challenges him to pull The Flying Kipper for the night.

 * The Truck's faces
 * It's nice to see Porter again
 * James' cheekiness still remains from The Phantom Express

CON

 * Didn't Percy learn his lesson of being scared in The Phantom Express?

Overall
I love this episode, then again Andrew Brenner hasn't wrote a bad episode yet, the Truck's faces were hilarious especially their wonky eyes. Well done to Arc Productions. And it's nice to see Porter isn't a pointless one-off character (I'm looking at you Britt Alcroft and Sharon Miller). But didn't Percy already learn his lesson about being scared in Episode 13?

Rating
4.5/5
