Nate is an artistic boy who enjoys drawing up in his attic, but his older sister (I honestly can't recall her name at the moment), is spoiled, lazy and annoying, always on her stupid cellular phone and always bullying Nate, either by getting him in trouble for her actions or blackmailing him, and their absentee mum is of no help to Nate; she lets Big Sister get away with everything... to vent his distress, Nate draws a collection of sadistic sketches featuring Big Sister being tortured in various ways by a stern lady named "Mrs. Worthington".
When Nate's mum goes out to work one night she leaves Big Sister in charge and immediately Nate gets blackmailed into lying to his mum about "having a great, fun-filled night with his older sister". So naturally, Big Sister and Nate are both shocked when Mrs. Worthington comes to life and shows up at the front door. At first Mrs. Worthington is just a lovable character and kind of funny, but when Nate discovers that his new creation means business and is ready to punish Big Sister for her actions, Nate has to do everything in his power to keep his disturbing fantasies from becoming a reality.
This episode definitely wasn't scary, but it's a really good one. Margot Kidder was HILARIOUS and excellent in her role as Mrs. Worthington, and Liam Dickinson was a really great actor, too. The soundtrack was eerie and really fit the story, and the episode has a great lesson for kids, that no matter how much somebody bullies you, two wrongs don't make a right and it's better to be careful what you wish for. I'm still not exactly sure what Mrs. Worthington is supposed to be, maybe a tulpa or something? I don't know, either way this was a really funny and great episode in the series.
