Bye George!

Bye George! is the 7th episode of the 5th season.

Plot
George is waiting to be taken to a new workplace. He insults Rheneas and Skarloey about their railroad. Skarloey suggests using rocks for his own roads, as he shrugs it off. Percy collects George, who wants the rails to be ripped up.

George gets very rude as Percy brings him to the old branch line to tarmac a road. George thinks that rails are now about to be ripped up, but Percy is dismissive. George just shrugs it off as Percy leaves him at the crossing. As Percy meets Thomas, he explains about George's actions. Thomas advises Percy to ignore George.

Meanwhile, George enjoys himself about his work ans asks Thomas about how it looks, who just ignores him and continues with his work. George deliberately tarmacs the rails which Thomas soon runs over it, causing him to derail and crash into a barn.

The next day, Percy explains about George to Gordon, who shrugs it off and brags that he wouldn't cause any trouble for himself. At the yards, George is now rolling along the road while Duck arrives with some empty freight cars. George obstructs Duck's line which causes a freight car to be stuck on the Main-Line. The 2 have an argument with each other about needing to wait. As a result, Gordon comes in quickly with the Express on the Main-Line and accidentally destroys the freight car. Sir Topham Hatt is cross with the unexpected accident, but is not with Gordon.

Sir Topham Hatt does find out. The next day, Thomas and Percy learn that George has been found out that he had been causing the trouble. As a result, George is confined to the timber mill for several days to learn proper manners.
