“Emily, you must go to Maithwaite and collect flowers for the new window-boxes..."
"Flowers? How lovely! I know all about flowers. I know that buttercups are yellow..."
"Emily! ...and then take them to Knapford Station."
"Yes sir.”
― The Fat Controller giving orders to Emily

A Blooming Mess is the twelfth episode of the thirteenth series.

Plot

Knapford Station is being redecorated, for which Thomas is tasked with collecting slate for the new roof while Emily is told to pick up flowers for the station by the Fat Controller. Excitedly, Emily says that she knows all about flowers and she knows that buttercups are yellow, but before she can say another word, the Fat Controller regains her attention and tells her to take the flowers to the station.

As she puffs along, she says hello to James and Toby, who reply back. When Mavis does not say hello, Emily assumes she is sad. While Emily buffers up to her train of flowers at Maithwaite, she tries to think about how to cheer Mavis up. She decides to deliver some of her flowers to Mavis at the quarry. When she cannot see Mavis, Emily decides to decorate the quarry with the new flowers and leaves trucks of flowers behind. Unfortunately, Edward and Thomas accidentally crash into the flatbeds she has left behind.

When Mavis returns to see her quarry in a state of confusion, Emily apologises for causing it as she thought Mavis was upset. Mavis assures her she was just thinking about all the work she needs to do. Emily feels silly and wonders what would make Mavis happy. Mavis tells Emily that to make her happy she would like the mess tidied up and Emily's load of flowers taken straight to Knapford. Emily complies, even helping out Thomas since his firebox was extinguished. When Mavis stops by Knapford Station later to see the flowers as they are planted and mentions how wonderful they look, Emily is glad to see her happy.
