The Great Discovery begins when an old town high in the mountains is discovered. Thomas is placed in charge of the town's restoration for the annual "Sodor Day" celebration. In order to get the important work done on the island, a new tank engine called Stanley is brought to the railway. Thomas is afraid that the new engine will steal his spotlight, so he tries to make Stanley look silly by playing a trick on him. The plan goes wrong, however, and when Thomas goes missing, The Fat Controller launches a search party all over Sodor. Thomas is found by Stanley, and the two become great friends.[1]
