The first part of the episode, "Bubbly Olwin," focuses on Olwin, the big-hearted and dependable female steam engine. When Olwin starts to struggle with her usual bubbly charm, the trainees become concerned for their friend and want to help her regain her positive attitude.

As the day begins in Chuggington, Olwin is assigned an important task of collecting water cars from the depot to distribute to the other trains. However, something seems different about Olwin today. She appears sad and loses her usual energy, leaving the trainees puzzled and worried.

Determined to help their friend, Brewster, Wilson, and Koko brainstorm ideas to cheer up Olwin. They embark on various playful attempts, including cheerleading routines, funny costumes, and pulling silly faces, all in the hope of putting a smile back on Olwin's face. Despite their best efforts, Olwin remains unresponsive, which only adds to the trainees' concerns.

Meanwhile, Vee, the wise and caring train station dispatcher, decides to have a heart-to-heart chat with Olwin. Sensing something deeper is troubling the usually joyful engine, Vee encourages Olwin to open up and express her feelings. With Vee's supportive approach, Olwin finally confides in her and shares her worries about her performance and role as a chuggington.

Vee listens attentively and offers words of comfort and reassurance. She helps Olwin understand that everyone has off days and that her bubbly spirit is an essential part of her character. Vee reminds her of the countless times she has helped and inspired others, encouraging Olwin to remember all the good she has done and to believe in herself.
