Horrid Henry and the Marvellous Mindreader

==Synopsis==
When Peter convinces Henry that he can read his mind, it seems that anything is possible.
== Plot ==
At breakfast, Mum says to Peter that he made Henry clear his bowl away for once. After falling for it, Henry screams ‘Noooo!!!’, opening the title card.
At school, Henry tells his friends about what happened then Graham says his trademark is a carrot and Ralph’s is being rude but in a unpredictable way and sings 'Born To be Rude' song with the others joining in by dancing.
Henry gets stunned when he thinks that Peter can read his mind so he decides on being unpredictable and still horrid too after taking Ralph’s example. In the library, Brian explains the definition of unpredictable to the audience (likely to change suddenly and without reason and therefore not able to be expected before it happens) and that’s a good word. Henry has plans for the weekend like Peter mentioned at the beginning of the episode and Ralph guessed then wishes him good luck on being unpredictable. That night, Mum bids Peter goodnight and Henry saying she’ll see him in the afternoon like Peter said but he replies that’s what they think and Fang agrees. The clock hands go super fast and rings then Henry turns it off and remembers he’s being unpredictable then tells the audience to come as Fang goes back to sleep.
In the kitchen, Henry says ‘Morning’ to Mum and Dad who were reading their newspaper and magazine. Henry asked for pancakes and Mum tells him they’re on the side already made them and she mentions Peter told them knowing he’d get up early, wanting pancakes instead of sweet tweets and that Henry would say ‘It’s not fair!’. Henry angrily to the garden saying he won’t have breakfast and go out for some fresh air then Mum and Dad still reading both say ‘Don’t be horrid, Henry!’, shaking their heads.
Henry still in his PJs goes into his fort wondering if he’s that predictable or not as Margaret, watching him through her binoculars, makes her move and asked the audience if they like moments when it’s all just about to kick off like she does. In the fort, Henry was eating biscuits in his special tin box asking the audience if they thinks he’s predictable and know what he’s going to do because he’s not sure how he or Peter knows for that matter.
Margaret answers ‘Maybe Peter can read your mind’ and she tells Henry the same things he does but he denied saying he did it differently although she thinks that’s predictable including their argument. Margaret suggests they could put Peter to the test whether he’s mindreader or not then whispers her plan in Henry’s ear but covers the fourth wall. Peter is in the garden shed writing a huge list when Margaret comes inside to asked him what he really really wants. Peter says he wants Henry to feel power, stop calling him worm even if it’s only for a day and his gross class zero collectibles because he never plays with them but won’t give them to him. Margaret and Peter give a handshake making a deal. The next day, Henry is wearing his horrid hat and a tutu then walks backwards and Mum sees him checking her list Peter wrote last night. Henry reads the rest of Peter’s list saying he wants to play his gross class zero collectibles but says no so he heads to his room, then enters Peter’s room and gives his collectibles to him. Henry asked Peter if he’s good at reading his mind and he says ‘No, I guess not’.
Henry leaves as Peter hold the collectibles giving a mischievous face. In her treehouse, Margaret explains to the audience why she bothered with getting Henry to believe Peter could really read his mind and tricking him into giving his collectibles too. Margaret revealed the answer was one of Henry’s snotbags she got in return for giving him advice on how to be less predictable.
Margaret says that she now knows how a snot bag works and then throws it at the audience turning the screen all green and laughs ending the episode.
