matilda soon discovers trunchbull's weekly "checkups" to belittle the students. as a prank, lavender, one of matilda's friends, places a newt in miss trunchbull's water jug to frighten her. upon discovery of the newt, miss trunchbull accuses matilda, whose anger at the injustice leads her to telekinetically tip the glass over, splashing both water and the newt onto miss trunchbull. afterwards, miss honey invites matilda over to her house for tea. on the way, they pass by miss trunchbull's house where miss honey reveals a secret of hers: when she was two, her mother died so her father, magnus, a doctor, invited his stepsister-in-law, miss trunchbull, to live with them and look after her. however, miss trunchbull regularly abused her while her father was at work. when miss honey was five, magnus died of an alleged suicide and left everything to miss trunchbull. eventually, she moved into a small cottage where she planted hundreds of wildflowers. she and matilda sneak into miss trunchbull's house while she is out to obtain some of miss honey's belongings, but miss trunchbull's unexpected return leads to a cat-and-mouse game with them barely escaping without revealing themselves.
