Percy and Asbestos is the fifteenth episode of the third season.

Plot[]

As usual, Percy is having trouble with the trucks. After a long time of putting up with endless teasing, he starts to wish he could have someone pleasant to share his work with. As he arrives at Knapford, he discovers several engines waiting for what Gordon reveals is going to be a "Procession." Moments later, several famous engines arrive at the station, including a small green saddle tank engine who reveals herself to be named "Asbestos." Percy is excited upon seeing her, thinking they may have a great deal in common. Gordon refutes this, but Percy remains hopeful nonetheless.

Confused by the commotion, Richard Hatt enters his father's office to question him about what the situation entails. The Fat Controller explains it is all part of the secret to succeeding in the Railway Enterprise, by continuing to bring new things to the table. Richard disagrees, thinking the railway is fine as is, and shouldn't have to change, but the Fat Controller insists the industry would die without "razzle dazzle," to which Richard hesitantly complies. The Fat Controller then announces that he is organizing a series of railtours and races for Mallard, Blue Peter, and Duchess of Hamilton, and that he has arranged for Asbestos to work on the Ffarquhar Branch Line for a photo op, which Richard is in charge of. Richard likes the idea, believing Percy will be glad to have a new tank engine to befriend, after the failure to procure an Austerity tank engine. The Fat Controller brushes off the idea, and leaves in a hurry to begin the railtours.

When Percy hears the news, he is ecstatic, and rushes to meet Asbestos in person. When he finds her, she is having her photo taken. Between loud coughs, Asbestos, referring to Percy as and "adorable jitterbug," condescendingly asks him to move so that she can continue being photographed. Percy politely asks her if she would like to push his train behind him, but she refuses, claiming she does not push trains anymore. Percy offers to let her lead, and she complies. The trip turns out to be a nightmare, however, as Asbestos continues to be rude and condescending. When they arrive at their destination, Percy asks if the two can have a picture taken of them together. Asbestos rudely laughs at the prospect, thinking Percy was joking, but when she realizes that he was serious, nonchalantly complies and allows a photo to be taken, though Percy is obscured by the smoke from her cigarette.

The following day, Percy volunteers to shunt trucks at Knapford, due to not wanting to work with Asbestos. Richard Hatt sees him, and asks him what the matter is. Percy admits that he was excited to meet Asbestos, but she turned out to be completely horrid. From a distance, Richard and Percy witness Asbestos rudely blowing smoke at a group of passengers, and Richard agrees that Sodor does not need anymore exposure to Asbestos. Nearby, two passengers overhear, and, believing Richard was referring to the carcinogen cargo, are utterly appalled.

That night at the sheds Percy sees that Asbestos is in his shed, she says that she will find another place tomorrow to sleep but Percy says that he can find another place to sleep, in the siding Thomas and Toby come along and Percy gets confused of why they are there and not at the sheds, Thomas says that he would like to sleep in a cold siding rather than a warm shed with Asbestos.

The Next Morning there is an angry mob trying to enter the Fat Controller's office, they claim that there is asbestos on the railway, The Fat Controller explains that the asbestos use was a common practice, but the mob interrupts and thinks that asbestos is still being used.

Richard sees his father being hold by the angry mob and there he says that before he faces the full extents of the law, he knows someone with all the crucial know how of successful attorney, he's "sleazy, devoid of morals and driven by corporate greed", Richard says that is not the description of a successful attorney.

The next day at the Shunting yard, Percy and Asbestos are leaving with a goods train bound for the Brendam Docks. On their journey the green engine was getting annoyed of all the attention the visitor is getting meanwhile at Suddery Courthouse everyone is waiting for the trial to begin, the Judge is ready to begin but realizes where the attorney is at, suddenly Walter Sliggs appeared in the courtroom as the Fat Controller's Attorney. Richard was not impressed, back with the saddle tanks Asbestos was showing off when she noticed the cameras and told the camera crew to snap a few pics. This was the final straw for Percy, he finally had enough and angrily pushed the trucks, they soon surged onward Percy realized his mistake tried to slow down the train. Back at the courthouse Walter Sliggs tried seducing the Judge while wearing a shark outfit this didn't work, soon the judge was finally tired of all the nonsense happening and demanded a witness come forward. A surprise witness was to come "right through the wall" as Asbestos busted through surprising everyone.
