Hurricane saw the danger Thomas was in, and he rocketed to Thomas' rescue, selflessly shoving him out of the way of the slag, but his wheels were caught and began to melt. Thomas hit some more slag trucks, and the slag poured onto the floor, dangerously close to Thomas. Theo tried to get Thomas down, but Thomas was dropped towards the molten slag, only to be knocked away by another bucket at the last minute. James managed to escape the building, but the trucks Theo was pushing hit a control panel and a magnet picked Thomas up and suspended him over a vat of molten slag. Thomas and Theo cleared James's track while Lexi and Merlin blocked Hurricane and Frankie inside. They followed James inside and repeatedly tried to stop him, but James kept dodging their attempts. Seeing their two "friends" betray them, Frankie and Hurricane began forcefully attempting to make Thomas and James stay. They followed him inside, and saw Thomas trying to convince James to leave with him.

However, Frankie and Hurricane were not taken by the distraction, and then noticed Merlin trying to sneak inside the Steelworks to help Thomas. When Thomas returned to the Steelworks with three experimental engines named Lexi, Theo and Merlin, Theo and Lexi provided a distraction to draw Frankie and Hurricane out of the Steelworks, and this allowed Thomas to slip inside unnoticed. But when James said he must go find him, Hurricane and Frankie again lied that Thomas was coming straight back, and they then made James stay and get to work. They realised that James had seen through their lie, and admitted they did not know where he went. They pretended they didn't know him until James pointed out that Hurricane had delivered his trucks. However, James was not convinced and demanded to know where Thomas was. Frankie and Hurricane tried to convince him that, like they had done with Thomas, this was the place for him with their singing. Hurricane, who just so happened to be at the same place at the same time, overheard this and got a devious idea. The next morning, when James arrived at Bridlington Goods Yard to find his trucks there, they told him that they were brought there by Hurricane. Thomas escaped onto an old, overgrown siding, and he evaded them. Thomas broke through the gates and rushed away, and Frankie and Hurricane chased after him. The sounds woke Frankie and Hurricane up, raising the alarm, and they immediately told him to stop. Thomas again tried breaking out of the Steelworks later that night, ramming some flatbeds into the gate and tried to use the cover of a thunderstorm to conceal his escape. Hurricane pulled Thomas back onto the tracks and back to the Steelworks, all while being scolded by Frankie for what he did. Soon, Frankie and Hurricane came to his rescue, both disappointed that he tried such a stunt. Thomas found what he thought was a way out, but he ended up derailing on some old and unused track. By this point, Thomas wanted to go home, so Frankie again convinced him that they helped them and so he must stay and continue to help them out, and they left him all alone to work. Hurricane put in that with the extra workload day in and day out, it wasn't easy to get everything done with just himself and Frankie. But when Thomas accidentally bumped into some ladle trucks and spilt molten slag, Hurricane warned him that it was very hot, and if he was caught in it, it would melt his wheels.Įventually, Thomas started to feel tired, but Frankie was pleased that Thomas was there because now she and Hurricane could do more delivery jobs. So, Thomas set to work carrying molten slag out of the building and to a pit. Thomas said he needed to head back home, but Hurricane and Frankie convinced him to stay they stated that since they helped him, he should help them in return. The following morning, Hurricane shunted Thomas out of his shed and stated that he delivered Thomas' trucks to Bridlington overnight. This made Thomas feel excited about being there, and they even got him to agree to stay. They began singing about how exciting the Steelworks is and how right it was for Thomas to stay there. Hurricane told Thomas to just leave them in a siding, as they would look after them, and he and Frankie brought Thomas inside the Steelworks. Upon hearing that the trucks Thomas arrived with are those of his friend James, Hurricane responded that along with being clever, he was very cheeky. Thomas arrived at the Steelworks, looking for Bridlington Goods Yard to deliver his trucks, and he met Hurricane. Unfortunately, the workload soon became too much for just the two of them. Hurricane works alongside Frankie at the Steelworks on the Mainland, with Hurricane using his strength to provide extra muscle.
