It's Henrietta Hubble's first year at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, and she is determined to make a good impression. Things, as they usually did for her cousin Mildred, go badly wrong. When she first comes to the school she hopes to not end up like her cousin Mildred Hubble the "old" worst witch. Mildred has already finished Cackle's but we see her at the beginning of this episode, dropping Hettie off. Hettie makes friends with Ethel Hallow's sister, Mona and Crescentmoon "Cressie" Winterchild; a member of the Hedge Witch Community.
