Emily is pleased to have Knapford Sheds to herself again at first, [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem but soon finds it lonely without Thomas to tell her about his day]]. She even begins to miss the sound of his sleep whistle. [[spoiler:At the end of the special, when Tidmouth Sheds is rebuilt, a seventh berth is added for Emily to stay in.]]
