To earn his badge, Wilson must show that he knows how to recognise destination icons. He gets distracted by following a butterfly and totally forgets where he is supposed to be going. After running around to some wrong locations, he finally concentrates really hard, and remembers he was supposed to be going to the foundry.

To earn their badges, the trainees must devise a fitness routine. Wilson climbs on the train jack and has Lori move him up and down. But Lori points out that she is the only one getting a work out! When Wilson tries to move off the jack his wheels spin and spin and he discovers it's the perfect 'stationary bike' for a chugger! He demonstrates his wheel work out and wins his badge.

To earn their badges, Wilson and Brewster must rescue Emery, who will pretend to be broken down in a tunnel. They spend so much time bickering that a fed up Emery drives off. It looks like Wilson and Brewster won't earn their badges - until there's a power cut causing a real emergency. They work together and rescue a now genuinely stranded Emery!

To earn her badge, Koko has to deliver two different types of cargo safely. She goes too fast and nearly breaks her cargo of eggs - then goes too slow, and is nearly late with her cargo of wool. Happily, she realises that different cargos need different delivery methods: slow and steady with the eggs, but faster with the wool. Learning the difference means that she wins her badge!

To earn their badges, the trainees have to play a game. They have to find 'pairs' of chuggers behind different-coloured roundhouse doors. Koko and Brewster do well, but easily-distracted Wilson fails the first time around. After a pep talk from Vee, he applies himself - and by concentrating really hard, he wins his badge!

Koko is put in charge of Wilson and Brewster. The team has to complete a newspaper round by a certain time. Koko nearly fails and learns that being bossy isn't the best way to lead. She tries again, using her team members' strengths instead and in the end shares her badge with Wilson and Brewster. After all - they're a team!

The trainees have to assess each other as they do braking tests in the park. Wilson doesn't do so well - and the trainees consider reporting that he did better than he actually did. In the end, Wilson decides they should be honest to Vee, even if it means forfeiting his badge - but Vee tells them the badge wasn't for braking, but for good judgment, which they've shown by telling the truth!

To earn their badges, the trainees must be efficient when picking up litter, which means not wasting any time. Wilson and Koko race off, each determined to finish first. Methodical Brewster goes more slowly, sorting the litter as he goes into 3 different bins: paper, plastic and cans. Koko and Wilson deliver their messy loads to the recycling yard - but it won't count until it's sorted! While a happy Brewster collects his badge, Koko and Wilson are still sorting their litter...
