Millie is given extra work around the estate, so the Earl tells Glynn and Stephen of the jobs they have to do, despite their constant chatter. Millie gets agitated when Stephen forgets to clear up garden waste, so she dumps it in front of his shed in the estate. Rather than an apology, Stephen makes fun of her, hurting her feelings.

By the next day, he tries to apologise to her, but cannot find her, leading him to think that she must have run away. Going out of his way away from the estate to look for Millie, Stephen runs out of water while pulling his passengers.

To Stephen's luck, Millie, with the Earl on board, find him. Millie and the Earl explain that she had gone for a new motor for the estate castle's turntable and that he and Glynn were not listening to his orders yesterday morning. The Earl sorts out the stranded passenger train - soothing an angry passenger - and Millie, Stephen and Glynn make up again.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Glynn and Stephen were too busy chattering while the Earl gives them their jobs, and this leads to Stephen forgetting about taking the waste.
  • Feud Episode: Between Stephen and Millie.
  • Here We Go Again!: Stephen and Millie make fun of Glynn the same way Stephen made fun of Millie. But instead, the three friends laugh about it.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Stephen feels bad for making fun of Millie.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: The Earl points out to Stephen and Glynn they didn't pick up the garden waste as they were told to do. Then he points out that Stephen and Millie's misunderstanding led Stephen's passengers stranded.
