Episode 21: Brewster Meets The Mayor
Brewster is going to be carrying Mayor Pullman, the new Mayoress of Chuggington, across the newly re-opened Border Bridge in the traditional welcoming ceremony. During the practise run, some of the facade falls off one of the bridge's pillars. It looks as though the ceremony will have to be cancelled, as the bridge might not be safe! At first Brewster is devastated - but then he saves the day by using something Dr. Ling's been working on: her new soap was a disaster in the chugwash, as it set into rock hard foam, but it's perfect for repairing the bridge! Safety restored, Brewster proudly carries Mayor Pullman into Chuggington.
Episode 23: Fault Finder Emery
The defect detector is a device that lets Vee know if there's anything wrong with chuggers as they pass by its scanners. Unfortunately, it seems to be malfunctioning! Eddie takes it off to the repair shed and Emery, wanting to be helpful, takes its place. But, worried that he might miss something, Emery sends nearly everyone to the repair shed, creating chaos in the depot! Emery feels bad that he's caused so much work for Vee and wishes he could make up for it. He has an idea. If the detector could talk, it wouldn't have to do everything through Vee. Dr Ling and Eddie think it's a great idea and they update the detector so that it speaks. And they know the perfect voice to use Emery's!

Episode 20: Zephie & the Bees
It's another glorious day in Chuggington and Zephie is keen to enjoy the sunshine, but every job she is given is underground. Meanwhile Speedy is out in the countryside serving drinks with the juicer wagon, when he'd rather be doing a proper job at the depot. They agree to swap jobs. While trying to operate the juicer, Zephie accidentally knocks a beehive out of a tree. The bees swarm into Zephie's carriage, looking for a new home. Speedy comes to her rescue and together they find the bees a new, safe place to live.
Episode 24: Hodge and the Chugnav
Eddie is having a very busy day and Hodge really wants to help - but all the jobs need hands not wheels. When Wilson reports the track lift is malfunctioning, Hodge decides to try to fix it himself. He only makes matters worse, bringing the lift to a grinding halt with Wilson stuck on it! Eddie agrees to let Hodge go and fetch the lift part needed, as long as he uses Dr Ling's Chugnav to guide him on his journey. Unfortunately, Action Chugger has knocked the satellite, which has skewed the signal, leaving the Chugnav talking utter nonsense! Hodge figures out that the satellite must be broken - so Action Chugger takes Hodge on an exciting trip into space to fix it. Hodge finally gets to help out!
Episode 19: Rolling Reporter Wilson
Border Bridge is re-opening and Wilson has been given the special job of using the new 'rolling reporter' car to make a live report, which will be broadcast on Vee's boards all over Chuggington. Wilson takes the car out to practise and comes across Calley training Hoot and Toot. When an emergency call comes in, Calley asks Wilson to look after the twins. They offer to help Wilson practise his report, but instead, they run off with the camera car and end up lost in the ice cave. Happily, the camera is transmitting, so using Vee's boards, Wilson is able to track them. He rescues them and the car and manages to get to the bridge just in time - and Rolling Reporter Wilson is on the air!
Episode 25: A Pat On The Paintwork
Koko decides to try for the High Speed badge - something no trainee has ever won. Emery wishes he still earned badges like the trainees do. For fun, he plays a 'pretend badge' game with Hoot and Toot, where they award each other imaginary badges. Emery is so busy playing his game that he doesn't listen when Vee assigns him to take some supporters to the footbridge to cheer Koko on. Realising that he was so wrapped up in his pretend badge game, he forgot how important the real badge was for Koko, he takes it upon himself to be her number one cheerleader. Koko is flagging, but with Emery's encouragement, she bursts through the finish line! Emery learns that he doesn't need badges anymore - it's enough to know he's done a good job.
Episode 18: Wilson's Icy Escapade
On an icy winter's day, Wilson and Koko are sent out to sand the tracks in the mountains. They take a short cut through the ice cave. Koko does everything properly, but Wilson doesn't keep his mind on the job, as he has fun exploring. He doesn't realise that an icicle has fallen into his sand wagon, wetting the sand and rendering it useless. He's stuck! He figures out a way to dry the sand by using the heat from his engine and makes it back to the depot - after finishing his job, of course!
Episode 26: Toot's Tall Tale
Toot doesn’t want to do track inspection with Hoot. To get out of it, she pretends she isn’t feeling well. At first she enjoys getting lots of attention, but when Morgan thinks her flywheel needs replacing, which means having her engine taken out and spending the night in the repair shed, Toot realises she’s gone too far.
Episode 17: Stunt Brewster
The trainees are having an exciting stunt training session with Action Chugger, when he is called away to do some filming. As he leaves, Action Chugger invites Brewster and Koko to come down to the film set later to demonstrate the skills they have learned. But Brewster gets called on a long run to Tootington and has no time to practise. Koko goes with him to keep him company.
Episode 16: Chilly Chuggers
An ice storm hits Chuggington and Koko really wants to help. She sees her chance when she comes across one of the anti-freeze cars. She thinks she's de-icing the tracks, but she's actually making them even icier - she doesn't realise that the car contains water. Because of her actions, Eddie and Emery get stranded out in the cold. Koko admits her mistake and does what she can to help Calley rescue them. When Eddie and Emery are back, safe and warm, Koko promises she'll never do anything like that again without checking with someone first!
Episode 15: Next Stop, Space!
Dr. Ling is giving a talk about meteors and how, many years ago, one crashed right near this area. Brewster pulls in a real meteorite, borrowed from the museum. Dr. Ling demonstrates that you can move the meteorite with a magnet, as meteorites contain metal. Hoot and Toot are afraid the meteorite might escape and destroy Chuggington, so they decide to return it to space.
Episode 14: Scrub-A-Chug
Eddie and Hodge have cleaned the sludge out of the chugwash. Now they’re going to refill the chugwash soap, then clean the underground tunnels using the Scrub-A-Chug – a fantastic piece of rolling stock with brushes that cleans the ceiling of the tunnel. Their work is interrupted when they get called away on an emergency.
