Moody Margaret Moves In (episode)

==Synopsis==
Moody Margaret is staying at Horrid Henry's house while her parents are on holiday, but Henry can't stand her. How can he get rid of her?
==Plot==
The episode begins with Henry dumping Peter in a dustbin. Mum comes out and tells them that Margaret is coming to stay at their house while her parents are on holiday, but then she was shocked to see Peter covered in rubbish, and she bans Henry from pocket money for a month. As Henry's punishment for being so horrid to Peter, Margaret can have his room, with Peter carrying Margaret's stuff. Henry says, 'My room?' then screams, 'NOOOO!!!', opening the title card.
In the living room, Dad tells Henry and Peter to make Margaret's stay a pleasant one. When the doorbell rings, Mum, Dad, Peter ran to answer it while Henry says to the audience 'There should a law about who gets to stay in your room' and tells them that Margaret's going to spy on his things, play with his toys and read his comics. Margaret arrives with her parents who say that she is a good girl, eats everything and is always polite. Her parents then leave saying they'll be back in a weeks' time. Margaret privately warns Henry to be polite as she is a guest. Peter takes Margaret’s boxes, while Henry is made to carry her suitcases upstairs. When Henry gets to the top of the stairs, he kicks the boxes of toys down the stairs, and blames it on Peter. Margaret then screams so loud that it managed to damage the furniture of the hallway.
In the dining room, they have dinner. Dad gives Margaret some sprouts, but she says she doesn't like them and likes the corn off the cob. She also says that she wants the corn on a separate plate because she doesn't like vegetables touching her meat. Henry says to put Margaret in a separate room because he doesn't like looking at her. Margaret then pretends that Henry kicked her which he didn’t. After that, Henry says that when he's king, Margaret will be turned into a trampoline and be jumped on by King Henry. Mum then shouts at Henry to stop playing with his food. Henry tries to aim the sprout at Margaret, but she then hits it, knocking the flower vase. It almost breaks. Dad told Henry that he has already lost his pocket money for one month, but he and Mum can make it last for two months if he doesn't start behaving. Henry looks at Margaret spinning her spoon and then growls at her.
At night, Henry must sleep in Peter's room, but then Margaret scares Henry by putting a spider in his sleeping bag and she laughs. Henry then shows the spider to Peter that it was Margaret. Though, Peter believes he should never tell on a guest! Henry calls Peter an ungrateful worm tells him Margaret is in his room snooping through his stuff. Suddenly Henry gets an idea then says to the audience that Margaret is their guest and if she wants to snoop, it’ll be his job to make it for easy and declares tomorrow, ‘The Return of Henry!’, while getting into his sleeping bag. When Fluffy stares at the night sky, she presses the TV remote to turn it to sunrise.
At 6:00 AM, Margaret gets her trumpet and wakes the whole house out. Henry adds some rock music to it, but Mum shouts at them to stop. Margaret then has a short breakfast and Henry sneaks in his room. He's shocked as Margaret's stuff is in his room! Henry then writes in a notebook which he calls his diary when Margaret sees him. Henry quickly closes it and locks it in a box, as if he doesn’t want his secrets exposed. Henry purposely drops the key to his diary and Margaret is tempted to open it up and read it.
Margaret reads it and dumps Peter in a rubbish bin as Henry wrote saying that he was scared she’d do that and get him in trouble. Henry then sends an Email to Margaret's parents once he knows his plan is working. Henry tells Mum that Peter is going to the dump because he considers himself rubbish. Mum and Dad run out of the house just in time as Margaret had handed the dustbin with Peter in to the bin men and they were about to empty it into a rubbish truck. Henry then dumps his toys outside. Mum and Dad are angry at Henry. Henry said that he didn't do it and he told them to ask Peter. So, they asked Peter. Margaret whispers to Peter to never tell on a guest, but Henry whispers that he should never tell a lie. Peter agrees with Henry and reveals that Margaret did it. It gets worse when they see Henry's toys on the ground outside the back garden. Mum and Dad are furious with Margaret and say that if her parents were here then Margaret would be on her way home. The doorbell rings, and everyone goes to see who is at the door. It’s Margaret’s parents who are apologising and say to Henry’s parents that they left their holiday as soon as they received their Email. Mum and Dad are not sure what they mean and suspiciously looks at Henry, but Margaret’s parents grab their daughter and drag her out of the house, saying she will be punished when they get home. Henry tells Margaret that he’ll have her stuff sent over (which was probably a lie and he might’ve sold it for money) making Margaret furious. Mum and Dad were euphoric that Margaret was out of their house and Henry admits that he sent the email, and he thinks he is in trouble. Even Mum and Dad find it hard to punish him for this however, and his punishment is only being sent to his room, much to his delight. Henry says ‘Sweeter words were never spoken’, goes in and shuts the bedroom door, ending the episode.

== Differences from the book ==
*At the start in the book, Henry overhears Mum on the phone, agreeing to have Margaret while her parents go on holiday. In the episode at the start, Henry puts Peter in the dustbin, and Mum comes looking for them to tell them that Margaret's coming to stay.
*In the show, Margaret sleeps in Henry's room as punishment for Henry dumping Peter in the rubbish bin but in the book, Mum just says that Margaret will sleep in Henry's room with there being no specified reason as to why.
*In the book, Margaret stays at Henry's house for two weeks. In the episode, she only stays for a week.
*In the book, Henry's family clean the house after Margaret says she's allergic to dust. This scene is omitted from the episode, with Mum saying they'll hoover, but before they start, Margaret says she wants to eat at six o'clock.
*In the book, Margaret screams when Mum refuses to make her breakfast at 6AM. In the episode, she screams after Henry kicks her boxes of toys down the stairs.
*The dinner scene is slightly different. In the book, Henry and Margaret argue about who sits where and who gets the pirate plate, and Margaret refuses to eat baked beans. In the episode, Margaret refuses to eat sprouts, and Henry fires a sprout at Margaret, who deflects it with her spoon, almost knocking a vase off the mantelpiece.
*In the book, Henry and Peter sleep in a bunk-bed. In the episode, Peter sleeps in his bed and Henry sleeps on the floor.
*In the book, Henry is said to have scattered crumbs in Margaret's bed. This isn't mentioned in the episode.
*In the episode, Margaret only puts a toy spider in Henry's bed but in the book, she puts jam, crumbs and a slug in it.
*The book contains a scene where Margaret keeps coming downstairs after being put to bed, complaining about the noise from the TV and Mum's knitting needles, her room being too hot then too cold, her bed being too hard, and her room smelling funny, being too stuffy and too light. This scene is also omitted from the episode.
*In the book, Dad tells Margaret to stop playing her trumpet, but in the episode, it's Mum who tells her to stop.
*In the episode, Henry gets rid of Margaret by following a plan called 'Operation Bye-Bye Margaret' - tricking her into putting Peter in the dustbin again, throwing all his toys out of his bedroom window and blaming it on her, and sending an email to Margaret's parents to tell them she's been misbehaving. In the book, he only gets up in the night and leaves a telephone message to Margaret's parents, telling them it's an emergency and to come and get her immediately.
*Instead of Margaret's parents being angry when they pick up Margaret in the show, they are distressed and worried in the book.
