Synopsis[]

It's Be Nice to Your Brother Day, and Henry's got the chance to win a Class Zero game if he can be nice to Peter all day.

Plot[]

The episode starts with Henry reading a comic in the living room, on the sofa. He turns the page and sees the article title reads 'Be Nice to Your Brother Day'. Henry laughs at this, and calls it a nappy baby idea. He realises it is for a prize for the best brother, and finds out it's a Class Zero computer game. Henry claims it's his, but comes to the realisation that he would have to be nice to Peter for a whole day. He tries to imagine it, but ends up disliking the idea. Henry then screams NOOOO!!!! which opens the title card.

In his room, Henry gets an idea to win the best brother prize by dressing up Rude Ralph as Peter and being nice to him instead of his real little brother. The boys sneak into Peter's room and takes many pictures of Ralph in bed and Henry being nice to him. In the living room, Ralph rubs his cheeks after Henry kissed him then he reads the form, tells Henry that his mum has to sign it and thinks she’ll never do it but Henry told him to never say never. In the kitchen, Henry tries to get Mum to sign the form about Be Nice to Your Brother Week then he shows her photos proofing that he was nice to Peter but she was not fooled because he knew it is Ralph and refuses to sign it. Then Mum makes a deal with Henry that if he can actually try being nice to the real Peter, she will sign the form so he can win the prize and Henry shouts 'BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!' making birds fall out of the sky.

In the garden, Peter was planting a vegetable seed when Henry approaches him. Henry told Peter that if he can be nice to him all day, Mum will sign the form so he can win the Class Zero computer game. When Peter asked if this was a trick, Henry yells that it's not making him fall out by accident and pulls him up from the ground and wiped his hand on his sweater. Peter told Henry that he can help clean his room before his meeting with the Best Boys Club today so they head to Peter's room and Henry thinks it is cleaned but Peter shows him the books on his shelf needs dusting and polishing then gives him some cleaning equipment.

Henry started dusting and wiping the book shelf top and bottom but when Peter puts on his glove and inspects them to check if there is dirt, he shakes his head. So Henry sprayed and wipes the bottom as hard as he can to make it spotless but Peter stills thinks it needs more cleaning again. So Henry turns into a cleaning power machine by brushing the shelf and wardrobe, sweeping the floor, cleaning walls and window. Peter inspects them all and finally gives him a thumbs up. Henry tries to calm down and asked Peter if there is anything else he wants him to do and he checks the form saying the game even has a rocket robot mode. Peter and his friends were having their meeting in the kitchen and Henry helps by serving tea and a high fiber fruit flan for them on the table. Then Ted asked Henry to slice the flan and he does it so fast but Ted says he is not doing it very tidily making Henry transform into a gorilla, scaring the best boys, grabs Ted and tries to shove the flan in his face but then Mum shows up and tells him not to be horrid.

Henry turns back to normal releasing Ted and offering him some flan but he nervously passes. As Peter takes his friends away to see his stamp album, Henry told Mum that he cannot be nice to his brother all day but she looks at the clock and encourages him to keep trying if he wants that game. Back in the living room, Henry was about to watch TV when Peter tells him that he wants to read Next Week Fluffy Fairies comic not this weeks but it is not even out yet. Peter leaves as Henry says 'This really isn't fair'. In his fort, Henry asked the audience where he can get the comic Peter wants because he knows that nobody has it but then he hears Moody Margaret talking to Sour Susan about it since her parents give her stuff. Henry declares Operation Fluffy Fairies a go, he wait for the girls to leave and sneaks into Margaret's backyard.

Henry climbs up the ladder to her treehouse when it makes a sound and avoids a rake swinging towards him. Margaret must have set a booby trap around her clubhouse when he enters, his foot touches the trip wire then spots the fluffy fairy comic on the cushion and takes it to Peter who is in his room. Peter reads the comic with adverts and a whole page to colour in but Henry doesn't want him to do that then he hears Margaret and hurries to his room and sees the girls going to their treehouse. Henry suggest they play hide and seek instead but Peter didn't want to until Henry invites Bunny to play too. Henry tells Peter to start counting numbers and halves too while he takes the fluffy fairy comic back to the treehouse.

Henry checks to see the girls with their dollies and sneaks in while they weren't looking, sneaks into the Treehouse, avoiding the rake, and puts the comic on the pillow again but he puts his leg on the trip wire releasing the space hopper and he rushes out as it bounced after him. Margaret and Susan catches Henry but he hurries off as the space hopper bounces down to the ground and splashes the girls with water getting them wet and they shout "WE'LL GET YOU, HENRY!". Henry makes it back into Peter's room and takes bunny to hide behind the curtains as Peter finishes counting.

Peter starts looking around when Henry uses bunny to get his attention and he find them when Mum comes inside to tell Henry that she will sign the form after seeing him being nice to his brother all day and he jumps with joy. Finally, the prize was delivered to the house and Henry opens it but it wasn't the Class Zero game, it was Peter's favourite game, fluffy fairies for them to play together. Then Peter calls Henry the best brother ever and hugs him but he screams 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!' ending the episode.

Characters[]

Trivia[]

This is the first episode to air in 2009.
Margaret's doll is identical to the one Lisping Lily owns in "Horrid Henry's Sleepover".
When Ralph dresses up as Peter, the yellow wig is the same as the one in "Horrid Henry and the Injection".
When Henry tries to get the Fluffy Fairy comic from Margaret's fort, it's possibly a reference to Indiana Jones. The music also sounds similar.
Henry's voice is a little different in this episode, with the grunge toned down slightly. Due to this, he sounds somewhat more feminine than usual.
It is unknown how Henry got the Fluffy Fairies game, when the advert in the comic said the prize was the Class Zero game.
When Peter gives Henry a thumbs up after he cleans his room, his hand under his glove (which he uses to check for any signs of dirt) seems to be missing, making him resemble the Master Hand from the Super Smash Bros. video game series.

Errors[]

Master Hand OMG — Peter is confirmed to be the Master Hand

When Peter gives Henry a thumbs up after he cleans his room, his hand under his glove cannot be seen.
When Henry is about to get Margaret's Fluffy Fairy addition, the number of dots on the pillow change.
When Mum says 'Don't Be horrid, Henry!', her eyebrows were not on her face.
The episode's title seems to have no connection with the story.
