== Synopsis ==
Horrid Henry lands everyone in detention and tries to get them all out again in time for that all-important football match.
== Plot ==
This episode begins at School where Miss Battle-Axe was teaching in class while everyone were asleep in their desks not paying attention to her. Henry activates his toy spider to wake up his classmates up while Miss Battle-Axe was still writing before she turns around. 
The Spider climbs on Margaret's leg tickling and makes her wakes up to the table. Then it jumps on Susan's arm and she shakes it off making it land on Gurinder's arm and she throws it off to William who passes it to Al and he slaps the spider on Linda's hair making her scream and she shakes it off and it lands on Miss Battle-Axe's face blinding her. Mr Soggington comes in to see Miss Battle-Axe and she tells him to help her so he pulls her glasses off with the spider on it and removes it. 
Miss Battle-Axe couldn't see now and hugs Mr Soggington making him drop her glasses on the floor and he accidentally treads on them. Mr Soggington picks the glasses and told Miss Battle-Axe that he'll have it mended right away. She thanks him and asked what he came in to tell her class and Mr Soggington announced that they have the first football playoff of the Ashton Athletic junior team football trials this afternoon and everyone cheered but stopped when Miss Battle-Axe stares at them and says they'll be seeing about that.
Margaret begged Miss Battle-Axe that if they miss the playoff, they won't get a second chance but Miss Battle-Axe told her that she shouldn't thought of that before starting to play spider catch with her friends and puts everyone in detention right now making her decision final. With that, all the pupils then yells 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!' opening the title card.
The scene cuts back to the classroom where everyone were still sitting in their places and Miss Battle-Axe was in her desk using a magnifying glass to see while she writes in one of her books. Henry whispered that he can't believe they all missing the playoff and Ralph say he couldn't either because this was going to be his chance and Margaret asked what they are going to do about it but Henry says there's nothing they can do before telling her to get lost. Margaret assures Henry there's always something he can do especially since it's his fault they're all in detention in the first place but Henry once again tells her 'Like I Said. Get lost, Bogey-Brain!'. 
Margaret tells Miss Battle-Axe on Henry but she claims that they're both talking and Ralph tells her that was definitely doing something until Margaret tattles on him too making her talk twice. Al snickers then asked Margaret what she was going to do and she tells him 'Get lost, Bouncy-Ball Brain' but Miss Battle-Axe hears him too since she doesn't have her glasses and increases Margaret's talking three times making her groans. Later Class was dismissed but Miss Battle-Axe lets everyone go and makes Henry, Al, Ralph and Margaret stay behind. Miss Battle-Axe gets up but falls on her desk making Henry and Ralph laugh before asking them who is the best football player and they raise their hands so Miss Battle-Axe gives them all detention for the rest of the day and sends them to the science lab.
Mr Soggington was on detention duty holding a stopwatch sadly as the four pupils sit in their desk bored when Miss Battle-Axe enters the science lab using her magnifying glass and Mr Soggington stands for attention saluting her. Miss Battle-Axe tells him that Miss Oddbod suggest that she'll referee the Ashton Athletic football trials this afternoon while he gets her glasses mended but he didn't think it was a good idea and she tells him to get on before leaving. Mr Soggington says that Miss Battle-Axe can't referee the trials because she's a girl which offended Margaret who asked what's wrong with that but he says nothing except that he's just upset about this situation. 
Ralph says they feel the same way about missing the playoffs too and Margaret addes that they didn't step on Miss Battle-Axe's glasses which Mr Soggington believes them and cries wondering what they are going to do about this but Margaret had a plan much to Henry's dismay and says 'Here We Go, Again!' to the audience before huddling up on how to get to the playoffs this afternoon. Andrew and William were walking outside when Margaret appears at the window calls them over but they were worried about getting trouble for talking to her but Margaret tells them both not to be wimps and deliver a message to Peter then whispers quietly. Andrew and William walk over to Peter and his friends and gives him a message which they say it's from Henry but he wasn't interested. The boys told Peter if he doesn't listen to the message, they'll get into trouble from Henry but he still interested until they said Margaret too and whispered their message in her ear.
Mr Soggington comes out of the science lab as Miss Battle-Axe walks past him after saying he'll getting her glasses repaired. Miss Battle-Axe walks into a plant saying 'Excuse Me' to it then Mr Soggington gets Henry, Margaret, Ralph and Al out of the lab in their football clothes as Peter and his friends walk by and Henry thanks Peter but he says he did it for Margaret and Henry says to the audience 'What a Worm!'. The Best Boys walk in the science lab followed by Miss Lovely and Mr Soggington shuts the door smiling. Outside, Miss Battle-Axe sees through the window at the pupils inside at their desk writing not knowing it's Peter and his friends dressed up in Henry, Al, Ralph and Margaret's clothes before walks on while Miss Lovely was knitting.
The scene shows the changing room where the classmates were in their football clothes and Mr Soggington blows his whistle telling them to form a line and walk out. Everyone walk onto the football field ready for the playoffs against the other team The Brick Boys and Giddiantus Girls as they all get ready with Miss Battle-Axe blowing her whistle. All the players tackle one to another, Al kicks the ball past the Big Boys who bumped into each other and scores a goal. The school children cheered as Mr Soggington show up and told Miss Battle-Axe her glasses are on their way being polished. One player trips over Al and Mr Soggington calls 'Offside' but Miss Battle-Axe says it too blowing her whistle despite him apologizing to her. The two teachers then said 'Off side! Whatever that means' and high five each other. Margaret has the ball and makes it past the Brick Boys then scores another goal for her team. Henry gets the ball and the giddiantus girls trip over one another trying to take it off ball but he shoots and makes it three goals.
Miss Battle-Axe and Mr Soggington jumped for joy shouting 'We Won' then she hugs him before asking what was in his pocket. Mr Soggington gives Miss Battle-Axe her glasses back good as new then puts them on her face and thanks him. She turns to her class but then Al, Ralph and Margaret hide behind their friends except Henry but luckily, Mr Soggington takes Miss Battle-Axe away to celebrate their victory by tangoing together which she accepts. After the teachers left, The Ashton team see their opponents grunting and scowlling at them. Margaret asked Henry to remind her what they all say to the opposition and he says 'All together now!'. The Ashton all say 'Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah!' to the losers ending the episode.
