Chef Club Shopkins (episode)

Chef Club Shopkins, retitled Foolish Kitchen Tools in American releases, is the ninth episode of the first season.

Plot
After having made a hole in one of her coaches and causing a lot of trouble, Lippy Lips has been confined to the shed for several days. Lippy Lips begins to cry, thinking that she will have to stay in the shed indefinitely and no one will see her again due to the incident. However, Rainbow Kate finally comes back to speak to her and tells her that her recent actions have caused a lot of embarrassment for the railway. Lippy Lips sincerely apologizes and Rainbow Kate assigns her to pull some Shopkins. Lippy Lips could not be happier to be let out and eagerly goes to work.

At the station, Apple Blossom brings Lippy Lips her trucks and teases her about bootlaces before leaving. Lippy Lips angrily couples herself to the Chef Club Shopkins, who tease her for her pink paint. Lippy Lips just ignores them and sets off; however, the Shopkins refuse to go and attempt to hold back. Lippy Lips does not allow them to and drags them out of the station. As the journey continues, the Shopkins try everything they can to get Lippy Lips to give up, but it's no use as Lippy Lips is determined to prove herself a better Shopkin.

Finally the train reaches Putrid’s Hill and Lippy Lips tries her hardest to run up it as fast as she can which is initially tricky, but with a sudden jerk it gets easier and Lippy Lips makes it up the hill, but her driver stops her and points out that the brake van and the last four Shopkins became uncoupled and ran down the hill. They stop at the bottom, and the guard gets out to warn approaching Shopkins.

Lippy Lips reverses down the hill to retrieve the Shopkins, where Peppa-Mint has stopped due to the blockage. Peppa-Mint offers help, but Lippy Lips politely declines, determined to do it herself and Peppa-Mint obliges. Pulling with every ounce of her strength, Lippy Lips finally makes it to the top of the hill and easily continues on to the station where Peppa-Mint later arrives with Rainbow Kate. Lippy Lips is very worried, knowing Rainbow Kate may be cross again. This time, however, Rainbow Kate is happy with Lippy Lips, having been aboard Peppa-Mint's train and seeing everything. Since Lippy Lips made the most troublesome Shopkins on the line behave, Rainbow allows her to keep her pink coat.
