Perfect Peter, Popstar

==Synopsis==
Peter's well on the way to winning the school talent contest with his rendition of 'Frere Jacques', ably assisted by his uber manager Horrid Henry. But when Moody Margaret decides she wants a piece of action she turns svengali in a ruthless display of ambition.
==Plot==
Perfect Peter was singing in the living room when Horrid Henry comes in and tells him to move out of his way so he can watch Gross Class Zero on TV, but he told him he's just about to do his singing practice which he does not care whether if Peter is about to fly to the moon and tells him to get out of his way now. Then Mum comes in and says, 'Don't be horrid, Henry!'. Henry tells her he wants to watch TV, but Mum says No Gross Class Zero tonight because Peter has to practice his singing. After Henry repeats what Mum said, she decided to ban TV for a week until Peter's big concert is over, and hugs him but as for Henry, he screams, 'NOOOOOOOOO!!!', opening the title card.
The scene cuts back to the living room where Peter finishes singing the last verse of Frere Jacques to Mum, Dad, Great Aunt Greta, Prissy Polly, Pimply Paul while playing his cello. They all give him a round of applause except for Henry, who turns away unamused. Polly was amazed though Great Aunt Greta asked if Peter's a teenager, but Mum says he's a little boy. Polly said it's exciting, and Mum told everyone that if Peter gets chosen, he'll be going to the Alfred Hall. Henry sighs in a misery tone until Dad elbows him, and Paul asked him if he would like to sing at the Alfred Hall too but Henry said, 'No! Singing is for worms, smelly nappy baby worms!'.
Sick and tired of Henry putting Peter down, Mum sends him to his room. Polly tells Henry that Peter needs positive energy not negative vibes and to think positive but he replies, 'Positive Worm'. Mum angrily orders him to go upstairs, but Henry surprisingly reminds that she already said that the first time, so she then says, 'No television for a week!', but he also ironically reminds that she also said that too at the beginning of the episode, and she shouts, 'And no pocket money for the rest of your life!' as Henry continues leaving and remains unfazed. Everybody looks at her in bewilderment and she says, 'What?' at them obviously.
That night at the concert, everyone watched Peter sing onstage, and they all applaud for him except Henry. The emcee announces to those who can’t be as perfect as Peter must remember to watch and learn. Dad tells Henry that line too, but he just scoffs in response. At home, Steve asked Henry how does it feel to have a little brother (Peter: the worm that's turned) who is a superstar, and gives him advice to watch and learn and laughs. Annoyed, Henry was about to go upstairs when the phone rings and he answers it. It was the guy from Make Me a Mega-star saying something about paying to make it larger and larger of money asking to speak with Peter's manager. Soon Henry was enthusiasthic even though he was about to tell him what Peter is really like and quickly ends the call when Mum comes out and asked him if he’s coming to join the party, but Henry says he's going to have an early night. Mum was worried and asked if he was feeling alright, and he says he is fine. Henry tells her to watch and learn before heading upstairs. Mum shakes her head and leaves.
Fluffy uses the remote to change from night to day. At breakfast time in the kitcen, Henry's being nice to his little brother by offering more milk and Mum was surprised to see him nice and early. Just then, the doorbell rang and Henry goes to get it. It was Moody Margaret who wanted Peter since she heard about make me a mega-star on the grape vine. Henry comes up with an excuse and tells her to come back later. Henry takes Peter with him quickly since they got work to be done. In Peter's bedroom, Henry comes up with a plan to make him a mega star. Meanwhile, Moody Margaret climbed up to the window using plungers since he lied to her, but he refuses to give Peter to her then closes the window and curtains making her muffled, 'I'll get you, Henry!'
Peter chose Henry over Margaret because he's his brother not hers. So Henry changed Peter's image into a rockstar which gets him into the semi-finals. After that, Henry quickly pulls Peter out before Mum finds out where they been but he didn't say thank you to everybody and Henry told him he can say that when he wins the finals. That evening, Peter decided to go see Margaret who lets him into her treehouse. It was time for the semi-final, After Daring Dan was finished, Henry puts in the rock and roll CD when Margaret takes it out and puts in a different one. Henry turns it on but Peter starts singing differently. Margaret stops Henry from re-changing the music. When Peter finishes singing, he sees Henry and Margaret arguing causing him to run offstage wishing to be himself again.
Just then, Mum and Polly find Peter backstage and were worried about him after Miss Lovely told her what happened as Henry and Margaret come out too and they all went home together again. Back in the living room, Mum was rebuking Henry and Margaret when Polly came in and tells them all that the man from Make Me a Megastar on the phone said Peter has won £1000, and she also told Henry and Margaret that he wanted to invite them on his latest show, which is 'Make Me into Peter Perfect!', much to their dismay. Mum plugs her ears while Henry and Margaret scream, 'NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!', making birds fly away, the TV antenna go on the fritz and ending the episode.
