Scruff is shocked and follows Whiff around to tell him to come back. They go to Ulfstead Castle and meet Millie there. She asks Whiff if she should get a new lamp and shows him the options. Scruff asks Millie why she is asking Whiff and she answers because Whiff's new glasses make him very smart and is sure Whiff has good advice. Whiff choses for Millie and then leave. Whiff is then invited to the Dieselworks by Paxton and accepts. Scruff tries to go but Paxton tells him only Whiff because of his glasses. This makes Scruff angry and tries to come up with a plan. The next day, Scruff wakes up and sees Whiff giving advice to Percy, James, Emily, and Philip. After they leave, Scruff tells Whiff to stop but Whiff decides he is now too cool to be friends with him and leaves. Diesel then comes and tells Scruff he has to get rid of Whiff's glasses but Scruff has a better idea. Meanwhile, Whiff is on his way to the docks to talk to the other engines.
