The Afternoon Tea Express is the 26th and final episode of the 17th Season.
Summary[]
Stephen becomes very excited when the Earl gives him the special job of collecting the ingredients for the afternoon teas at the Castle. But Spencer teases him about being too old and slow. Stephen is cross, but is soon steaming around Sodor picking up all the ingredients. But soon, Gordon puffs up behind him, and tells him to hurry up. He then pushes Stephen quickly along the rails up to the junction to Ulfstead Castle. Spencer is surprised to see Stephen back so soon. Stephen pretends to have been really fast! Over the next few days, Stephen is pushed by other engines making him fast. But when he is collecting jam for the Earl, Lady Hatt, and Sir Topham Hatt, none of the engines are there to push him. However, he finds Spencer, who pushes him the fastest up to the castle. But he goes so fast, he can't stop and biffs into the buffers at Ulfstead Castle, making the jam fly all over the Earl, Lady Hatt, and Sir Topham Hatt. But after he has apologised, he takes the visitors to the castle on a tour of Sodor whilst getting more jam, and realises that going slow isn't that bad after all.
