Horrid Henry Joins The Best Boys Club

== Synopsis ==
Where there's a will, there's a way, and if the only way is to join the Best Boys Club, then never say never.
== Plot ==
The episode begins with a shot of the home of Henry and his family before the scene cuts to him reading a comic in his bedroom. Horrid Henry then asks the audience if they fancied listening to some music, and switches on the Killer Boy Rats, before he and his pet hamster Fang start dancing. As the scene cuts to the kitchen, the loud music annoys Mum, as she starts banging on the ceiling with a broom handle to get him to turn the music off. As the scene cuts back to Henry's bedroom, Henry switches off the music, and he jumps back on his bed before asking the audience who he could annoy next. He then gets an idea after hearing the Best Boys Club chanting 'Best Boys!', and shouts: 'Enemy AHOY!', opening the title card.
After the title card, the scene cuts to the Best Boys Club in their shed, with Perfect Peter declaring the meeting open, and telling Tidy Ted that he could read the agenda this week. Ted announced that the first item on the agenda was deciding who should wear the Best of the Best badge this week, and this week it is Peter who gets to wear it. After that, they discuss what their Symbol of the Week should be as per the agenda, and Peter asks everyone for ideas. Spotless Sam suggests a flower, Goody-Goody Gordon an apron, and Sam then suggests a dustpan and brush, but Peter suggests a halo, and that's what they have for this week. After Peter assigns roles to Ted, Sam and Gordon, the scene cuts to Henry approaching the Best Boys Club's shed with binoculars, then trying to maintain his cover by leaning against the wall. He then opens the window and starts spying on what the Best Boys Club is doing by looking through an empty toilet roll. Peter then asks for any other business and Gordon chimes in about his birthday party. Upon hearing this, Henry then tells the audience that he hasn't been to one for ages. After Peter, Ted and Sam give incorrect guesses, Gordon gives them a clue by holding his fists out and making the engine sounds like a go-kart. Ted then correctly guesses that it was a go-kart party, and Henry is excited upon hearing that it was at Go-Kart Crazy.
The Best Boys Club quickly becomes suspicious after this, and Peter then realizes that someone could have been spying on them at the time. Henry quickly realizes that his cover has now been broken, and after some quick thinking, throws an empty toilet roll into the shed through the gap, startling the entire Best Boys Club, before Henry jumps in through the door, saying that he had everyone covered. Peter then asks Henry what he meant by this, and Henry says that it was the Special Party Protection Services (or SPPS), meaning that he would protect them from the Alien Life Force Party Poopers at the party, saying that they are always on the lookout for parties to poop. Peter then picks up the empty toilet roll and asks Henry what it is, with Henry saying that it's the Party Pooper Protector, but Peter says that it's the inside of a toilet roll. Henry suggests otherwise by saying that it's not even though it might look like one and that it was all that stood between them and annihilation. Peter then scolds Henry for trying to change the subject and that he was spying on them, but Gordon chimes in by saying that Henry might be telling the truth, with both Sam and Ted agreeing with him. Henry then tells them what might happen next, before immediately asking what does happen next.
The scene then cuts to Henry in his bedroom, telling Fang how easy it was and what he did - he told them to collect as many Party Pooper Protectors (empty toilet rolls) as they could before the party, and that Gordon had to invite Henry so that he could make sure the Alien Life Force Party Poopers didn't infiltrate the party and annihilate everyone without them noticing. Peter then comes into Henry's room, telling him that nothing he does to get himself invited to Gordon's party will work, since only Best Boys Club members are invited and Henry isn't the Best Boy and never will be - or at least that's what Peter thought, according to Henry. After that, the Best Boys Club is having their meeting inside their shed, with Ted reading out items on the agenda, and the next item being 'Good deeds for this week'. After the members contribute their good deeds, Henry then sneakily writes 'New Best Boys Club members' on the agenda, hoping the Best Boys Club will notice it and read it out loud, before telling the audience that he would do anything to go to Go-Kart Crazy.
Ted then reads out what Henry wrote, much to the surprise of Peter who says that he didn't remember putting that on the agenda, but Ted says that it was on the agenda and that his spelling had gone all wrong, shocking Peter even more. Peter then furiously takes the agenda from Ted and notices that that wasn't his handwriting, but Gordon then chimes in by saying that it was on the agenda and that they had to stick to it. After he, Sam and Ted raise their hands to say that they agree, an enraged Peter furiously kicks the door, waking Henry up and after Ted asks if there was anyone who wanted to join, he then walks into the shed saying that he wanted to join but he also says he's not good at making beds, being tidy, doing good things or anything at all for that matter. Gordon then tells him that he will help him do those good deeds that Henry said.
However, Peter immediately tells everyone not to believe Henry, saying that this was because he didn't want to be good at doing anything at all and that the only thing he wanted to be good at was being horrid. Henry is severely upset by this to the point where he starts to cry after Peter says that he had never, ever, had a Good as Gold star. However, he is quickly cheered up when Sam tells him that he can have one of his Good as Gold stars, and Ted welcomes him to the Best Boys Club. Henry then thanks Sam and Ted for this and after Gordon, Sam, Ted and Peter walk out of the shed, Henry then winks and tells the audience about what he'll do to go to Go-Kart Crazy.
The scene then cuts to Go-Kart Crazy, with the Best Boys Club and Henry walking through the entrance to the track. After Henry sees the go-karts going around the track at high speed, he then sees Peter, Gordon, Ted and Sam on their go-karts, with Gordon telling Henry to come and join them before they start throwing empty toilet rolls at him. Henry then screams, 'Noooo!!!', ending the episode.
