“What Diesel said about the 'Curse of the Cliffs' must be true! I shall get lost in the fog, and never be seen again!”
― Thomas

Bold and Brave is the twenty-first episode of the ninth series.

Plot

Summer is approaching the Island of Sodor and Thomas is asked by the Fat Controller to collect deck chairs and windbreaks for the beach. However, Diesel tells Thomas of the "curse of the cliffs," which brings heavy fog down on the cliffs and causes the first engine of the holiday season that goes round the headland to disappear. This ends up worrying Thomas, especially when Harold the Helicopter warns him of fog near the headlands. This ends up leaving Thomas frightened.

Thomas later finds Ben outside of a tunnel; Diesel had told him that a monster is lurking inside. Thomas goes to investigate and hears a strange noise and sees two eyes in the tunnel. However, he finds that the eyes are actually lights and the noise is really a generator powering them. Ben thanks Thomas and goes on with his job.

Thomas puffs onwards, still afraid of Diesel's warning of the "Curse of the Cliffs." He soon comes across the fog while puffing towards the headlands, but thinks that what Diesel told Ben was not right. Thomas thinks he might be wrong about it as well and bravely goes on. Suddenly, the mist rolls away and makes Thomas realise that Diesel must have been trying to scare him. Thomas then states that he should not listen to Diesel and only listen to himself.

    • The last appearance of Diesel's confused face and Ben's sad and happy (albeit in a promotional picture) faces.
    • Ben's last speaking role until the eleventh series episode, Hector the Horrid!

Goof

  • When the narrator says "Soon the seaside station was up ahead" Thomas has his sad face instead of his smiling face. This is most likely intended to lead the shot of Thomas approching the Coastal Cliffs.
