[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-dieseldoesitagain32_2985.png]]
Work at the harbor is becoming more difficult for Duck and Percy, so another engine is sent to help them. Unfortunately, Diesel is the only engine available and when the two see him, they are displeased and refuse to work. However, as they have refused to work with Diesel, cargo lies unmoved on the quay and passengers are delayed.
The Fat Controller demands answers for Percy and Duck's insubordination. The two engines explain that they're on strike, having thought Diesel was sent in disgrace. The Fat Controller explains that he had given Diesel a second chance and orders both engines to return to their work. This still doesn't help Percy and Duck that much as Diesel becomes unbearable: he bumps into Percy from behind without apologizing, then spills some cargo, then bullies the others into not telling the Fat Controller about his misbehavior.
Eventually, Diesel, who is even more troublesome than ever, carelessly pushes several trucks of china clay into the sea. Luckily for Percy and Duck, the Fat Controller finds out soon enough. He angrily reprimands Diesel for what he did and expels him in disgrace, once again. Percy and Duck are more than happy to deal with the extra work again, rather than continue to deal with Diesel's antics.
!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* AchillesInHisTent: After realizing that Diesel is going to help with the work in the harbour, Percy and Duck refuse to come out of their sheds. It didn't last long as the Fat Controller orders them to work with Diesel since he's given him a second chance and was the only engine available.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the Railway Series story ''Literature/ThomasAndTheEvilDiesel'', Diesel returned again and still demonstrated a bad attitude, but would redeem himself after helping Thomas during a mishap, actually leaving the railway on good terms. In his second appearance here, he proves as nasty as ever and is sent away in disgrace again. It would take several more failed revisits before Diesel's redeeming side would be shown.
* {{Bowdlerization}}: An {{inversion}}. The German dub states that the trucks drowned after Diesel sank them. The original English dub has the trucks being rescued.
* CallBack: Duck tells the Fat Controller that he thought he had sent Diesel packing in [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E14ACloseShave "A Close Shave"]].
* ContinuityNod: Several.
** The siding where Diesel sinks the trucks is the same one where Percy sank in [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E11PercyTakesThePlunge "Percy Takes The Plunge"]].
** Diesel stumbles over his honorifics for Sir Topham Hatt, until he corrects himself.
** Duck going EtTuBrute on the Fat Controller sending for Diesel's help, due to the Fat Controller having sent Diesel packing in the second series.
* HesBack: The first episode to feature Diesel after he was sent away in the previous season.
* {{Jerkass}}: Diesel.
* KilledOffForReal: The sunken trucks in the German dub.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Almost immediately after Diesel pushes the trucks filled with china clay into the harbor, Diesel is kicked out of the railway by Sir Topham Hatt. And unlike [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E14ACloseShave last time]], it isn't OffscreenKarma either.
* TheUnapologetic: Diesel accidentally bumps into Percy from behind, which startled him. The narrator makes it explicit that he didn't even apologize.
