Horrid Henry season 3 episode 22, titled "Horrid Henry and the Scary Scooter," follows the mischievous adventures of Henry and his friends as they try to win the school's upcoming scooter race. When Henry finds out that he will be racing against his arch-nemesis, Moody Margaret, he becomes determined to win at any cost.
Henry and his best friend, Ralph, decide to create a custom scooter that will give them the edge against their opponents. They work tirelessly for days, using spare parts they find in Henry’s garage and tools they borrowed from Ralph’s uncle’s workshop. As they work, Henry becomes more and more fixated on beating Margaret, while Ralph starts to worry about Henry's obsession.
On the day of the race, Henry and Margaret's rivalry reaches new heights. They taunt each other and try to psych each other out before the race even begins. Henry is so focused on beating Margaret that he fails to pay attention to anything else.
As the race starts, Henry speeds ahead of the other racers. But just as he's about to cross the finish line, he realizes that the finish has been moved at the last minute. The new finish line is much further away, and Henry's scooter is running low on fuel. He must decide whether to stop and refuel and risk losing the race or push on and possibly damage the scooter.
Henry decides to push on, and it quickly becomes clear that his scooter can't handle the distance. The engine starts to sputter, and the scooter begins to shake violently. Ralph, who is watching the race from the sidelines, realizes that the scooter is going to crash and rushes to try to save his friend.
In the end, Henry crashes his scooter and is badly injured. Margaret, who has won the race, is genuinely concerned for Henry's well-being and rushes to his side. She apologizes for taunting him during the race and promises to be nicer to him in the future.
The episode ends on a hopeful note, with Henry in the hospital and his friends vowing to help him recover. It's a lesson for Henry about the dangers of becoming too obsessed with winning, and for Margaret about the importance of empathy and kindness.
