At last Henry's got a mobile phone! Or has he?!

Plot[]

The episode begins with Henry and his friends coming into School. When Ralph gets his new mobile phone and plays a Gross Class Zero game on it, Henry was amazed and Ralph gives him his phone so he can play it as the boys enter the school building. Inside the classroom where all the classmates are, Margaret was chatting to her friends as Ralph comes in high fiving William who cries followed by Henry, still playing the game and stops between the girls. Margaret calls Henry but he doesn't answer so she tries again and Henry hears her the second time.

Henry goes back to playing the game as Margaret asked if he'd be wanting to add her as a contacts but she sees Miss Battle-Axe coming inside and heads to her seat and Ralph gets Henry's attention and he gives back his phone then takes his seat too. Miss Battle-Axe sits in her desk, brings out a photo frame, sprays her perfume on a cloth, smells it, sees her class in their desks and she waves her arms but they look baffled. So Miss Battle-Axe tells them all to sit up, asked if they all sitting comfortably and they replied 'Yes, Miss Battle-Axe' so she gets out her chalk to begin the lesson causing Henry to yawn loudly and open the episode's title card.

The scene cuts back to Miss Battle-Axe writing on the chalkboard as her class were asleep until the bell rings and they all dash out of the class spinning their teacher around before she could say 'Class Dismissed'. Outside the playground, the boys gathered around Henry playing Gross Class Zero game on Ralph's phone again as Margaret pokes around the entrance watching them and tells the audience he thinks she doesn't' knows what he's up to but she does and bets that he's trying to add her when Nicola asked if she gave him her details while walking pass and she says 'Duh, No' but she still thinks he's trying add her and says 'What a bogey-brain'.

In classroom, Henry is still playing on Ralph's phone as he and Bert watch him when Margaret and Susan walk inside. Margaret types on her mobile phone and tells Susan it's got an electronic matching device which means she can see what's on people's phones and approaches behind Henry while holding her phone at him. Henry sees Margaret and she chases after him around the classroom creating a big mess everywhere, knocking desks and chairs over while Ralph and Bert watch them. Margaret tells Susan not to let him get away so she trips Henry over and he falls out of the classroom and Miss Battle-Axe dodges him as she enters then asked Margaret what she has to say for herself and she tells her it was Henry's fault before hiding her phone. Miss Battle-Axe agrees and tells Margaret to clean up this mess straight away then gives Henry detention and walks away.

Margaret checks her phone as Nicola reappears and tells her that Henry is watching episodes of Gross Class Zero as she repeats then asked if there's an echo in here. Nicola says that means Henry is not adding her to his contacts and tells her the reason is because she's not important enough making her growl angrily until Miss Battle-Axe comes back, swipes her mobile phone and sends her to detention too. Margaret blows a raspberry at Nicola who chuckles mischiefly and smiles as she leaves the classroom.

Henry was in the waiting room playing games on Ralph's phone when Margaret joins him and he hides the phone in his pockets as they both scowl at each other until Miss Oddbod sees and invites them inside much to her despair. Henry and Margaret tries to squeeze inside the office and Miss Oddbod makes them take a straw each thinking ladies' first and Margaret wins. She told Miss Oddbod Henry won't add her to his contacts then takes Ralph's phone out of his pockets. Then Miss Oddbod asked Henry what he has to say and he says why would he want to add a bogey brain like Margaret who asked ‘You see? Who does he think he is?’. Then Henry answers 'Not a bogey brain like You obviously!' to Margaret retaliates angrily then Miss Oddbod lets Henry go but puts Ralph's in her desk draw instead of letting him take it back. As Henry leaves, Miss Oddbod asked Margaret why would she want him to add her to his contacts and she says it's obvious because she's the most important person in school so everyone should add her. Just then, the office phone rings and Miss Oddbod tells Margaret to go now but keeps hold of her mobile phone too before answering it. Margaret tells Miss Oddbod she can add her if she wanted to.

After school, Henry walks sulkly as Margaret taunts him by saying he has no mobile phones anymore and Henry thinks she's such a clever bogey brain but Margaret says she is and pulls out her mobile phone. Margaret asked Henry if he has a second phone and he says 'of course' as Ralph high fives Henry and Margaret walks home. Ralph asked Henry why Margaret was talking about a second phone and he had no idea then asked for his phone back but then Henry tells him he needs it until tomorrow to finish level 42 and Ralph says he has another one at home much for his relief.

The next morning, Henry runs out of the house and talks to the audience assuming that he has come up with a plan which he has. Only come up with some sort of plan that is, Henry hopes it'll work and tells the audience to wish him luck as he arrives at school. All the classmates were chatting, eating, sleeping, crying, doing tricks and playing as Henry runs inside the class. Margaret gives Henry a note of her details for him to add on his second phone if he has one. Henry claims he does then runs to high five Ralph before taking Margaret's details and tells Ralph it's bogey brains but then Margaret tells Henry she's waiting so he pulls a second phone that plays music but fails to turn it off so Henry runs away from Margaret who chases him again. Luckily Henry jumps across the classroom twice and runs out holding a thumbs up to his classmates who applause him.

Henry runs through the corridor, heads to Miss Oddbod's office, knocks on the door, goes inside to talk about something before winking to the audience. Henry runs back inside and Margaret asked he doesn't have a second phone but he also says he doesn't even have a third phone either. Henry gives Ralph's phone to him but Margaret was baffled and Henry explains to her that Peter's number gnome phone was confiscated instead of Ralph's. Then Henry says that he and Ralph are going to have to find a way to get Peter's phone back from Miss Oddbod's office sometime soon and winks again to the audience but on the other hand, Margaret screams 'NOOOOOOOO!!!' ending the episode.
