Hodge's Secret

Overview

Hodge wants to be more independent, but Eddie never lets him do jobs on his own. So when Wilson startles Hodge, causing him to accidentally break a junction box, Hodge decides to deal with it himself. Using the crane, he jams the wires back in and shuts the doors. Easy. But then strange things start happening. Lights and signals stop working, Vee malfunctions and chuggers are sent to the wrong destinations. Hodge and Wilson realize it must have something to do with the box they broke! If Eddie finds out, he'll never trust Hodge to do anything on his own again - but if Hodge doesn't tell him, it could take Eddie days to figure out what's wrong. Hodge finally musters up his courage and confesses. A relieved Eddie fixes the box. Eddie promises he'll let Hodge do more jobs by himself and Hodge promises to tell Eddie straightaway when things go wrong.
