Synopsis
Sir Topham Hatt suggests throwing a surprise party for Toby on his 103rd birthday, but James is jealous. He vents his frustrations to Daisy, who agrees that Toby isn't as useful as they say. James is determined to prove this by running his trains on time and showing off.

This doesn't end well, though. James goes too fast and derails on some ballast that had poured onto the line by mistake. When word spreads, Toby comes up with a plan and collects James' passengers in Annie, Clarabel, and Henrietta. James feels guilty, and makes it up to Toby by leading him to his surprise party at the sheds and telling Toby he's a friend that anyone can depend on. Daisy pops in to agree, and everyone has a great time.
