Episode Title: Horrid Henry and the Case of the Cancelled Cartoon

Opening Scene:

The living room is dimly lit, casting an ominous shadow over the usually cheerful setting. On the TV screen, the ending credits of Peter’s favorite cartoon, “Slime Blobs and Animal Pals,” roll for the last time. Peter is seated on the couch, clutching his plush Slime Blob toy, tears streaming down his face.

Peter: (sobbing) It’s your fault, Henry! Your negative energy must have killed it!

Henry: (shocked, eyes wide) NOOOOO!!!

Scene 1: Living Room - Moments Later

Henry storms into the dining room, where Mum is setting the table for dinner. She turns around, noticing the commotion.

Mum: (concerned) What’s all this noise about?

Henry: (exasperated) Peter thinks it’s my fault his cartoon got canceled! How is this even possible?

Mum puts her hand on Henry’s shoulder, trying to calm him down.

Mum: (sighs) Oh, Henry, I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding. Peter’s upset. Why don’t you try talking to him?

Henry: (grumbling) Talk to the worm? Great plan.

Scene 2: Peter’s Room - A Little Later

Henry knocks on Peter’s door, which is slightly ajar. Peter is lying on his bed, face buried in his pillow, mumbling incoherencies.

Henry: (tentatively) Um, Peter?

Peter: (sniffling) What do you want, Henry?

Henry: (genuinely) Look, I know you’re upset about the show, but it’s not my fault. I didn’t do anything.

Peter sits up, wiping his face, glaring at Henry.

Peter: (accusingly) All week you’ve been talking about how you hate it. You wanted it gone!

Henry: (waving hands defensively) That’s just me ranting! I didn’t actually do anything!

Peter: (crossing arms) Well, it’s gone now, isn’t it?

Scene 3: School Playground - The Next Day

Henry approaches Ralph and Bert, who are spinning theories about the cartoon’s cancellation.

Ralph: Maybe the ratings dropped, or maybe the creators ran out of ideas. It happens.

Henry: (frustrated) But Peter is convinced it’s because of me! He’s telling everyone I somehow got it canceled.

Bert: (scratches head) How could you even do that?

Henry: (throwing hands up) I have no idea! But I’m going to find out who really did it and prove I’m innocent.

Scene 4: Classroom - Later

Miss Battle-Axe is writing on the board when Henry raises his hand.

Miss Battle-Axe: (suspiciously) Why are you so eager to participate, Henry?

Henry: (innocently) Just wondering if… you know, any of you heard about “Slime Blobs and Animal Pals” getting canceled?

A few kids murmur, expressing their sadness and confusion.

Brainy Brian: (pushing glasses up) I read that it was due to some online petition or something. People were really upset about the changes this season.

Henry: (eureka moment) An online petition, huh?

Scene 5: Henry’s Room - Evening

Henry furiously types away on his computer, searching for any evidence about this petition. His eyes light up as he finds a forum filled with complaints.

Henry: (muttering) These are from all sorts of people. Wait, what’s this?

He clicks on a thread titled “The Real Reason Slime Blobs Got Canceled—Overbearing Parent Complaints.”

Henry: (reading aloud) “Parents felt the show was ‘too silly’ and ‘distracting,’ demanding more educational programming.”

Scene 6: Living Room - That Night

Henry gathers Mum, Dad, and Peter, determined to set the record straight.

Henry: (confidently) I know why “Slime Blobs and Animal Pals” got canceled. It was overbearing parents demanding it be replaced with educational shows!

Dad: (shaking head) I heard about that from a colleague. They wanted more learning, less fun.

Peter: (wide-eyed) So… it wasn’t you, Henry?

Henry: (smugly) Told you! It had nothing to do with me. Now, how about you say sorry?

Peter: (sniffling) I’m sorry, Henry. I was just so upset.

Henry: (grinning) Apology accepted. Just remember, not everything horrid is my fault.

Mum and Dad exchange knowing glances, relieved to see the brothers making up.

Dad: (clapping hands) Who’s up for ice cream? To cheer everyone up?

Henry and Peter: (in unison) ME!!!

Final Scene: Kitchen - Later that Night

Henry and Peter sit at the table, enjoying large bowls of ice cream. Tension finally dissipates, and laughter fills the room.

As Mum and Dad tuck the boys into bed, Henry grins mischievously at Peter.

Henry: (whispering) Next time, enjoy your cartoons while they last, Worm.

Peter giggles, pulling his blanket up to his chin, feeling much better.

Peter: Goodnight, Henry.

Henry: Goodnight, Peter.

The screen fades to black, and the credits roll with the familiar Horrid Henry theme.

Episode Title: Horrid Henry and the Monster Club

Opening Scene: School Gymnasium - Injection Day

The school gym is filled with nervous chatter as students line up for their annual flu shots. Henry scowls, his arms crossed defiantly, standing at the very back of the line. Miss Battle-Axe and Nurse Needle are ushering students through the process.

Miss Battle-Axe: (sternly) Come on, get in line! This will be over before you know it.

Nurse Needle: (cheerfully) It’s just a little prick, nothing to worry about!

Henry rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath.

Henry: (grumbling) I hate injection day. Why can’t we just skip it?

Suddenly, he spots a colorful flyer on the school bulletin board. It catches his eye with the bold title: “Join the Little Lake Monsters Club! Fun and Adventure Await!”

Henry: (sarcastically) Fun and adventure, huh?

Miss Battle-Axe: (sharply) Henry, stop dawdling and pay attention!

Henry: (mockingly) Yes, Miss Battle-Axe.

Title Card: Horrid Henry and the Monster Club

Scene 1: School Hallway

Henry hurries down the hallway, trying to stay as far away from the gym as possible. His best friend Ralph catches up to him, jaw-droppingly checking the flyer Henry just picked up.

Ralph: (excitedly) Look at those monster mascots! They look wicked cool! Are you thinking of joining the club?

Henry: (dismissively) Of course not. Probably just a bunch of boring stuff.

Nearby, Al and Bert walk by, discussing the “Little Lake Monsters” with excitement.

Al: (enthusiastically) Did you see the flyer? I heard there are secret missions and cool monster mascots!

Bert: (clueless) I like monsters.

Henry: (curiously) Secret missions, you say?

Ralph: (nodding) Yeah, and some kids mentioned there’s candy involved!

Henry: (intrigued) Candy? Well, now we’re talking. Maybe I’ll just take a look.

Scene 2: School Gymnasium - Continuing Injection Line

Henry reluctantly returns to the gym after a short trip around the school. As he steps back into the line, Nurse Needle finishes with the last student ahead of him.

Nurse Needle: (cheerfully) Henry, your turn!

Henry: (groaning) Fine, let’s get this over with.

Nurse Needle administers the shot quickly and painlessly. Henry winces but then remembers the flyer.

Henry: (muttering) Now, where’s that Little Lake Monsters meeting?

Scene 3: School Library - Later

Henry enters the school library, which has been transformed with monster-themed decorations. A group of students, including Peter, are gathered around a table. Miss Lovely stands at the front, explaining the activities.

Miss Lovely: (excitedly) Welcome to the first meeting of the Little Lake Monsters Club! We’re going to have lots of fun with crafts, games, and even a scavenger hunt featuring our monster mascots!

Henry tries to stay hidden near the back, but Peter spots him.

Peter: (surprised) Henry, you’re joining too?

Henry: (embarrassed) Uh, yeah, guess so.

Miss Lovely: (smiling) Wonderful! The more, the merrier. Here’s your Monster Club badge.

Miss Lovely hands Henry a badge with a cute monster on it, and Henry grudgingly pins it to his shirt.

Henry: (sarcastically) Oh, joy.

Scene 4: School Playground - Lunchtime

The students are outside for the scavenger hunt. Henry saunters around, trying to look disinterested, but secretly hoping for candy.

Miss Lovely: (calling out) Each team needs to find three hidden monster mascots to claim their prize!

Henry ends up grouped with Peter, Brian, and Al. They start their hunt, with Peter excitedly pointing out the first clue hidden near the swings.

Peter: (giddy) Look, it’s Slimy Steve!

Brian: (nodding) Let’s head to the climbing frame next; I bet another clue is there.

Much to Henry’s surprise, the hunt turns out to be quite engaging as they discover the next two mascots, Hairy Harry and Spooky Sally, with ease.

Henry: (smirking) Not bad, I guess.

Scene 5: School Library - After the Hunt

Back in the library, the excited buzz fills the room as each team presents their found mascots. Miss Lovely passes out bags of candy to the enthusiastic club members.

Miss Lovely: (clapping) Great job, everyone! These candies are your reward. And don’t forget, next week we’ll be crafting our own monster masks!

Henry grins as he looks into the candy bag, eyes gleaming with delight.

Henry: (to himself) Maybe this club isn’t so bad after all.

Peter walks over, holding his candy bag tight.

Peter: (smiling) I’m glad you joined, Henry. It’s actually really fun.

Henry: (grinning) Yeah, you know what? I think I’ll stick around…for the candy.

Peter laughs, and the brothers enjoy the rest of the meeting, bonding over their shared love of monsters.

Final Scene: Henry’s Room - Later That Night

Henry dumps his candy bag on his bed, savoring his day’s haul. He grabs a piece and plops it in his mouth, grinning.

Henry: (smirking) Being part of the Little Lake Monsters Club may just turn out to be one of my better schemes.

He tosses the Monster Club badge onto his nightstand, giving it an approving nod before turning off the light.
