Mildred Hubble is back in the new episode of The Worst Witch second season and this time, she is determined to make Miss Cackle's birthday celebration a memorable one. It is one of the most important days in her school calendar and everyone is excitedly preparing for it. The episode chronicles the preparations leading up to the event, and the unexpected surprises that pop up along the way.

As the preparations for Miss Cackle's birthday get underway, Mildred has a brilliant idea that might just make it the best celebration the Academy of Magic has ever seen. She finds herself put in charge of the entertainment section of the party, and wastes no time in putting her plan into action. She ropes in her friends and together they begin crafting a magical performance that is guaranteed to leave everyone spellbound. However, as it is with most magical performances, things are bound to go wrong, and the girls face a series of unexpected challenges that threaten to derail their plans.

At the heart of The Worst Witch season 2 episode 8 is the plotline about Mildred's mission to win over the school's harsh and unforgiving potion teacher, Miss Hardbroom (played by Raquel Cassidy). Mildred believes that if she could only show Miss Hardbroom how much she appreciates her, the potion teacher might be a bit more lenient on her in class. So, she hatches a plan to create a surprise potion and gift it to Miss Hardbroom for her birthday. As she and her friends frantically search for the rare ingredients that will make the potion work, they find themselves running into a series of hilarious obstacles that make the process even more challenging.

Elsewhere, Miss Cackle (played by Clare Higgins) is also having some birthday jitters. She is turning 108, an age that according to her, is not only unlucky but also very significant in witchy circles. Her twin sister Agatha, played by Amanda Holden, is also around to celebrate the birthday, causing even more anxiety for Miss Cackle. She is also concerned about the shortage of magical energy at the school, and how it might affect the celebrations. Meanwhile, chaos ensues when the big reveal of Miss Hardbroom’s gift goes awry.

The Worst Witch season 2 episode 8 is a delightful mix of magic and humor. The plot is tightly knit and well-paced, with just the right amount of tension to keep the viewers engaged. The episode showcases some impressive magical effects that bring the academy of magic to life. The writing is sharp and witty, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments scattered throughout the episode.
