"House Of Dares": Detailed Summary of House of Anubis Season 1 Episode 4

"House of Dares," the fourth episode of House of Anubis, was included in the movie. In this episode, Amber confronts Mara about spending time with Mick, Mick does something he shouldn't, and Patricia concocts an initiation ceremony for Nina.

Nina is having a nightmare about Sarah, Victor, and black feathers. When she wakes up, she finds Patricia standing over her. "Caw! Caw! Beware the black bird," Patricia says, laughing and throwing black feathers all over Nina. Taunting her roommate, Patricia goes back to bed and asks the newbie whether she's scared and needs to leave her light on. Patricia turns off her lamp. Nina does the same but then decides to take a closer look at her new locket. She opens it and finds pictures of the Frobisher-Smythes.

At breakfast the next morning, Alfie and Jerome laugh with Patricia about the black feathers. They start cawing when Nina shows up, and Fabian advises her to ignore them. He asks about her dream, and she tells him how weird it was. It was awful and evil! Amber comes in, looking for Mara, and she's told her roommate is in Mick's room. She doesn't like that at all, but she claims she's not jealous because she has no reason to be. In fact, she would have helped Mick with biology if she weren't so busy! That gets a few laughs.

Turning her attention to Nina, she remarks that she's there for breakfast instead of sneaking out at the crack of dawn. Hearing this, Trudy announces that Nina was helping an old woman yesterday morning. Amber admits that she's not good with old people but says that Nina must be since she lived with her grandmother. She asks Nina what happened to her parents. Jerome calls her the queen of tact. Nina says that they died years ago in a car accident and she and her grandmother are very close. Patricia doesn't think that's true, since her grandmother sent her off to boarding school in another country. This angers Fabian, who tells her off. Patricia is mad that everyone but her seems to have forgotten about Joy. She stalks off--again.

Before class, Amber confronts Mara about all the time she's been spending with Mick. She's not happy about it at all. Mara swears she's just helping him and he's not exactly a quick learner. Amber accuses her of liking Mick. When Mara denies it, Amber demands to know why. After all, every girl wants Mick. "You have no idea how difficult it is being half of an alpha couple," she sighs. "I have so much respect for Victoria Beckham."

In biology class, Mr. Sweet gathers the assignments. Mick is pleased with his work, and Mara crosses her fingers for him. Patricia, Jerome, and Alfie give each other a high-five. They're obviously up to something!

Patricia apologizes to Nina, which should be a clue right there that something's not right. She tells her it's time to uphold the school tradition. She makes Alfie come up with the tradition, and he says it's an initiation ceremony. Fabian tries to protest, but Nina says it sounds like fun.

Later, back in his room, Fabian practices his guitar. He leaves when Mara stops by to give Mick her physics notes. Mick asks for more help, but she's not too sure about that since Amber is jealous. Mick thinks that's funny. He gets down on his knees and jokingly begs her to help. Mara agrees, so he gives her something to prove he's not "all take." It's a bracelet just like the one he gave Amber! Uh oh! When Mara says it's a friendship bracelet, Mick goes along with her assumption.

Patricia announces that Nina's initiation ceremony will be tomorrow night. Fabian isn't too sure about this, which makes Jerome accuse him of always being opposed to having fun. Patricia says Nina will have to go up to the attic and bring back something to prove she was really there. Amber's declaration that the attic is haunted doesn't sway Nina; she's ready. Patricia says tonight she has to steal the key from Victor. Amber confronts Mara, saying she knows she was with Mick. Mara lies and says she wasn't.

Later that night, some of the teens watch Victor. He has a set of master keys that he carries everywhere, but there's also a key box on the wall with a duplicate set. Victor notices them and asks what's going on. Nina claims they're admiring his coat. "Is it vintage?" she asks innocently. Alfie, who was trying to hide, says the floor could use a polishing. Victor drags him downstairs to get polishing supplies. While he's gone, Nina runs into his office, grabs the keys, and unlocks the box while Patricia and Jerome watch. This is confusing: if Victor supposedly takes the keys everywhere, why doesn't he just keep them in his pocket? Why doesn't he have them now?

Amber is supposed to be helping Mara with chores, but she doesn't want to. When she sees Mara's bracelet, she throws a fit. She shoves Alfie, who's carrying his cleaning supplies, and goes upstairs. Victor and Alfie also go back upstairs. Nina gets the key but forgets to return the original set, so she runs back into Victor's office. "Nina Martin. What are you doing? This had better be good," Victor warns.
