==Synopsis==
When Henry goes on strike, no one is prepared for what happens.
== Plot ==
All the pupils at Ashton Primary School don't realize how much they miss Henry until he goes on strike after Miss Battle-Axe gave him detention for not raising his hand in class even if he does not know the answer and was forced to write down this lines at break time. After yelling "Noooo!!!", to open the title card, Henry decided not to write it at all and go out to get some fresh air much to Ralph and Al’s surprise. 
At home, Henry comes into the kitchen where Mum and Peter are here. Peter says he had a perfect day at school because he’s got 3 gold stars in his scrapbook, essay and for putting his hand up in class every time the teacher asked a question even if he didn’t know the answer. Henry asked Mum what’s for tea and she says something that’s good for him meaning he won’t like it. Mum says she and Peter made Number Gnomes fairy cakes with pom poms on and Henry says ‘goodie, double goodie, triple..’, but says to the audience he can’t be bothered to be horrid anymore and leaves. 
In his room, Henry talks to Fang about how being horrid is quite hard work not easy all the time when they heard Margaret calling him and asked the audience if they see what he means, wonders what kind of insult is that as Fang shrugs then they both go to the window. Henry opens it and told Margaret to go away because he’s on strike but she asked what it even means and he answers ‘it means what I want it to means’ then closes his window as Margaret angrily calls him to come back. Henry says the insults don’t any better to Fang who agrees. At night, Henry and Fang are reading their comics with his lamp light when Dad says it’s bedtime and asked Henry if he’s feeling alright. Henry says he needs an early night which Dad agrees stating tomorrow is another day then switches off the light and they bid each other goodnight. Henry says the same thing to Fang and they go to sleep.
Later, Fluffy winks to the audience and changes night to day on the tablet. Henry was still asleep in bed smiling with Fang. Meanwhile at school, Margaret told Ralph who had his fart can ready that Henry is on strike and not coming in. Even Miss Battle-Axe and the classmates were surprised after Margaret told them the news and they were all feeling depressed about it as the bell rings and leaves the room. Ralph says the class isn’t the same without Henry but Margaret says she doesn't miss him one bit judging by the sad look on her face. Later, Mum checks on Henry who is awake and told him that it's gone 10 o'clock and Dad said he could lay in bed to make him feel better which makes it cool but then she tells Henry to come have breakfast and they'll drop him off to school at break time and he thinks it's not so cool.
Every children were in the school grounds feeling unhappy until Henry was dropped off by Dad as he walks to the playground seeing everyone feeling down. Ralph gave Henry a fart noise can as they along with Al and Bert walk together passing everyone as whispers 'Henry's back!' in happy voices. Henry helps himself to two cupcakes Peter baked with Mum but he doesn't get upset about it while being glad that Henry's back in school again. 
Henry leads all his friends to Miss Battle-Axe's classroom and opens the door where he gets a welcome back from Gurinder and Susan. As for Margaret, Henry asked if she missed him and while she complains about missing him, Henry tells the audience that it's good or horrid to be back in school again, laughs and winks to them, ending the episode.
