* HonestyAesop: Tilly discovers Hiya Henry and decides to use him for her act; while most of the family is amused, Cricket is obviously terrified of him. But he cannot bring himself to tell Tilly and his family he doesn't like Henry, because he's worried he could hurt her feelings and ruin her fun. Eventually his fear gets the better of him and destroys Henry in the middle of Tilly's act, which in turn horrifies everyone and leaves Tilly hurt and sad as he predicted, and as she tells him, none of this would've happened if he just told her about it in the first place.
