"Horrid Henry, Money Talks" is the forty-ninth episode in Series 3 and the 153rd episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Follow the money, that is Horrid Henry's motto, even when it takes you into the enemy territory and you find yourself up against Moody Margaret!
Plot[]
The episode starts with Moody Margaret coming out of her house next door saying to her parents she's off. Margaret's dad asks her if he should drive her to school, but she screams: 'NOOOOOOOO!!!', opening the title card.
Margaret tells her dad not to call her 'poppet' and sets off. Margaret talks to the audience about parents and shows them a magazine about a new mobile phone which she'll need if she is going to be a star. Henry comes along, saying that nothing will make Margaret a star and greets the audience, although he and Margaret keep moving the screen to each other. Henry wins because, after all, it's his show. His name is in the title. Margaret tells Henry that she is going to become a star with a built-in studio, which makes him impressed. As Henry enters the school, Margaret calls her dad to get the producer that night.
In the next scene, Margaret appears in her Pink Tutu and is getting ready to show the audience. She asks the audience how she looks after spinning around. She says she does look good and pink really is her colour. She then does her breathing exercises. Her dad comes in and leaves. Henry is dressed up too since he's going to a star like Margaret and tells the audience to wish him luck. Henry walks downstairs passing Mum who is in Peter's room as Fluffy meows watching him. Margaret and Henry were both ready to perform. Margaret jumps out of the cake singing a song about The Secret Club with Brainy Brian playing the violin. Henry comes in to fight back, and Brian says, 'Hooray!', but then Henry asks, 'What are you doing here, traitor?'. Brian tells Henry that Margaret threatened to tell his mum that he was reading a Gross Class Zero comic instead of doing his math homework yesterday. With that, Henry says: 'What a mouldy old measle!', and he sings a song about the Purple Hand Gang with Brian using two spoons banging the draw cabinet as a drum kit. The two enemies have a singing battle together, and they finished it. Margaret's parents and Brian applauded them, but then the producer leaves the room, and Margaret blames Henry for this.
Margaret's Dad told his daughter the good news the producer said she is a superstar in the making. Margaret wonders what her stage role is and Henry suggests the Wicked Witch, to which her mother encourages. Her dad asks her what she thinks but she gets angry when he calls her poppet again. Henry leaves Margaret's house and then he sees the producer with the money he's got which means Margaret's dad paid him to say all that, which is why she hasn’t got a role. Henry says 'Who said money doesn't talk?', laughs and winks to the audience, ending the episode.

Trivia[]
- As Henry tries to sneak downstairs, you can see Mum's mobile phone on the floor outside Peter's room.
- This is one of the only episodes Peter is absent.
- Although, it could be presumed that he was in his room when Henry sneaked out, from the fact that Mum was telling a story, and it wouldn't be anyone else aside from him.
- This is the first episode where Brainy Brian's mum is mentioned.
- The episode flickers between Henry and Margaret's perspectives throughout, and the two have roughly equal screen time throughout the episode, being joint main protagonists. There was more space for this due to the notable absence of Peter.
- The Producer (the killer boy rats manager) returns from Horrid Henry and the Killer Boy Rats.
