Synopsis
Horrid Henry runs away again.

Plot
Henry’s fed up with his life and shouts, ‘I, Henry, will run AWAYYYY!’

He buys a one way plane ticket to Lagos, Nigeria in Africa, his destined destination with his parents’ money, however, he doesn’t care as it’s the last time he’ll see them anyway.

He packs all his things, takes any left over change in the house, takes the bus, then the train to the airport, gets his flight and flies away.

Meanwhile, Mum, Dad and Peter are relaxing in the garden when Margaret’s mother spams the doorbell in distress. Dad opens the door and she panics, explaining she saw Henry, hastily taking the bus with the route: Ashton Railway Station on the front. Mum and Dad are shocked and drive to the airport.

When they arrive and ask the front desk where Henry is (they say his details so they can identify him), the clerk says a boy called Henry Penelope, aged 11, had boarded a flight from London Luton Airport to Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The clerk also says they can start a search party to find Henry. Mum and Dad are relieved they’re going to find their son again.

It cuts to Henry in the African country of Nigeria in the bustling city of Lagos. He’s looking for a place to stay, but had used up the remainder of his money to buy sweets and so has to sleep on the streets... And he did for nights. He was miserable.

It cuts to Mum and Dad looking for Henry around Lagos with the search party until they find him. They call for him and Henry’s actually glad they’d found him after all that time by himself in the big city. Henry’s glad they’d found him, but he asks them ‘If you really care that much about me, why don’t you ever show it?’ Mum and Dad are furious with Henry’s comment and tell him he can forget about all his luxuries for years. The search party acknowledges this and asks them ‘Is this always how you treat your child?’ Mum and Dad say they do.

It cuts to them in the back of a police van, screaming ‘NOOOO!’ ending the episode.

After the credits roll, it shows an ominous scene without music of them in prison, being torn apart by the police about how child abuse in unacceptable and that their son must’ve run away because of how they treat him.
