Roary the Racing Car season 1 episode 9, "Tunnel Vision/Molecom Makes Music," delves into two exciting storylines. In the first half, tunnel repairs are underway at Silver Hatch Racetrack but the workers keep forgetting to put up warning cones and the drivers keep crashing. Roary and the gang take the situation into their own hands and come up with a plan to help avoid any further accidents. Meanwhile, Marsha takes control of Molecom, the PA system, and becomes the track DJ, cueing up songs for the racers as they speed around the course. However, her music choices prove to be a bit too much for Mama Mia who is sensitive to loud noises and Marsha must find a way to accommodate everyone's musical tastes.
The episode kicks off with a frenzied race around the track, as Cici, Maxi, and Roary compete for first place. However, disaster strikes when Cici careens into a construction zone, unable to see the workers and their equipment due to the lack of cones. Later that day, the workers are still without cones and this time, it's Tin Top who crashes into the construction zone. Everyone is fed up with the workers' negligence and decides to take matters into their own hands, thinking of a way to help the workers get the cones up quicker. Maxi comes up with the plan to get Roary to race around the track and signal the workers where to put the cones, using his headlights to show them where the cones should go.
While Roary and the gang are busy trying to make the track safer for everyone, Marsha is busy with her own project: becoming DJ for the day. She hijacks Molecom and starts playing her favorite music from her own playlist, completely ignoring the musical preferences of the other characters at Silver Hatch Racetrack. As she controls the track's sound system, she fails to notice Mama Mia's distress as she becomes increasingly agitated by the loud music. Things come to a head when Mama Mia's wiring goes haywire from the noise and Marsha realizes that she must come up with a better plan to keep everyone happy.
In the end, Roary and his fellow racers are able to help the construction workers by signaling them with the headlights of their cars. The cones are finally put into place and the accidents stop happening.
