- September 22, 2020
In Mighty Express season 1 episode 8 entitled "Donutty Day," the crew is excited to celebrate the annual Donutty Day in Tracksville. The day celebrates everything related to donuts and begins with a donut-making competition.
The Mighty Express trains are competing in the competition, but they forgot to bring a key ingredient – sugar! They quickly set out to find some sugar before the competition begins. Each train team splits up to find the sugar, and the trains must overcome different obstacles to find it.
Liza, the steam engine, leads her team through a maze of tracks to find the sugar. They navigate through different tunnels and finally find the sugar at the end of the maze. Meanwhile, Nico, the new ice-breaking train, travels through snow and ice to get to the sugar factory. He faces obstacles such as slippery tracks and frozen lakes, but he eventually makes it to the factory where he finds some sugar. The last train team consisting of Flicker, Freight Nate, and Mandy journey through fields of flowers and even come face to face with a cow in their search for the sugar.
After finding the sugar, the Mighty Express trains make it to the competition just in time. The rules of the competition state that each team has to make a donut that represents their team. Liza's team decides to make the biggest donut, while Nico's team decides to make an ice-coated donut. Flicker's team, on the other hand, chooses to make a "carrot cake" donut.
In the competition, the trains face tough competition from other trains, including the speedy Locomotion train and the noisy Rattler train. However, the Mighty Express trains are not discouraged and they put their heart into making their donuts. The competition is judged by the Train Inspector and Mr. Brooks, the train station owner, both of whom sample each donut.
At the end of the competition, the judges name the Mighty Express team as the winners. However, the biggest surprise of the day is when the conductor reveals that there is another competition for the best-smelling donut. Nico's team wins this competition by a landslide, as the judges are amazed by the scent of their ice-coated donut.
The episode ends with a big celebration for Donutty Day. The trains all get to enjoy their delicious donuts while they watch a carnival parade. Overall, the day is a great success, and the Mighty Express trains learn that working together and not giving up makes anything possible.
