World of Winx: Episode List

1- "Il Ladro di Talenti" ("The Talent Thief")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

It is a rainy night in the city where Bloom seems to be staking out the front of the Frutti Music Bar. She reports that there is no sign of their suspect and Aisha runs down the street to meet up with Musa and report in that it is all clear in their area, too.

In another part of the city, in their Winxmobile, Tecna, Stella and Flora are watching everyone's movements via an electronic map. Tecna tells the other three to keep their positions as their suspect should still be in the area. She then scrolls through a list of the kidnapped talents and reports to the girls out in the field that the latest talent that was kidnapped was a guitar player who was last seen performing at the Frutti Music Bar. He also has not been seen by anyone in 24 hours. Stella claims that this dismisses her theory about the talents being abducted by aliens, but Tecna does not take the joke well. Flora insists that this is the work of the Talent Thief.

Aisha, via her Winxwatch, proposes that they crash the Bar to flush out the Thief, but Bloom claims that they cannot do so because no one has even seen the Thief's face. She insists that they need a plan first and Tecna agrees, advising the three girls out in the field to proceed with caution. Tecna continues to remind the Winx that, even though they have been living on Earth for months, they have still been unable to unmask the Talent Thief and all they know about him is that he kidnaps talented people. She advises everyone to keep their concentration and Flora urges them to drink her herbal tea, as it will help them focus. She claims that it is her "special focus blend" and that it will taste good, but when Tecna takes a sip, she has trouble getting it down. Stella twirls the cup around with magic until Flora scolds her, reminding her that they cannot use magic if they want to pass off as normal girls. Stella stops using magic, which causes her cup of tea to fall over, and Tecna brings up a picture of a sandy substance on their monitor. She explains that the same powder has been found at every previous kidnapping scene and transmits the image to the three on the field. Stella asks if they know what it is for yet and Tecna confirms that they do not, but she can run another analysis. That is until Musa claims that there is no time as they have movement in their area. Musa runs past a street corner, takes a picture of a man running in the streets and sends it to Tecna, who begins running a comparison scan. Soon enough, the scan comes up red and Tecna confirms that he is indeed their suspect.

Bloom, Musa and Aisha give chase and split up to make it easier to catch their suspect. Aisha manages to corner him but he slips away by climbing up a fence onto a low roof. Musa and Bloom catch sight of the Thief and use their magic grappling gloves to scale the wall. The two of them continue giving chase until they spot the Thief near some large pipes. They try to corner him but he slips away. Musa tries to attack with her magic but Bloom stops her, claiming that they still do not know if he is human or not. They scale the wall in pursuit of the Thief, but when they make it to the roof, they have lost him. Bloom reports this to Tecna, who launches a thermal scan of the area to find the Thief. She finds the Thief in an alley nearby and confirms that it is a dead-end; the girls have him cornered. The three field fairies make it to the dead-end alley but see nothing. Tecna insists that he is still there and Aisha kicks down the trash cans in the area, thinking that the Thief is hiding in one of them. It turns out that it was just an alley cat, which frustrates Aisha because they were so close to catching the Thief. She blames Tecna's gadgets but Tecna insists that they are never wrong and that the Thief should be in front of them. With nothing else in sight, Aisha concludes that Tecna's gadgets mistook the alley cat for the Talent Thief. Suddenly, a notification comes on and Tecna urges the three field fairies to hurry as they only have 5 minutes and 33 seconds to get to the loft. The Winxmobile speeds towards the field fairies' location and picks them up. Once it has driven off, a figure creeps out of the alleyway, revealing that the Talent Thief's hoodie acts as an invisibility cloak.

The Winxmobile parks in front of the loft where, inside, the TV and a couple of drones turn on. A show comes on and a host who introduces himself as Ace, reveals the show to be WOW: a reality talent show just starting its latest season. He invites the live crowd to join him for a live feed of the shows talent scouts, revealed to be the Winx. Most of the Winx seem barely wake (and barely dressed correctly) until Stella steals the camera to say hi to her fans. The show then takes the audience through the Winx's daily routine, starting with breakfast. The show then goes through the Winx's lives up close, highlighting their personalities, interests and friendship between one another.

Musa admires Bloom as a roommate and as an artist (while mistaking her drawing of a horse for a dog) and Bloom loves how supportive Musa is (even though she is unable to keep up with her on guitar). Aisha beats Tecna in a game of basketball, but Tecna trounces Aisha in a basketball video game. Stella tries to describe how her love for fashion but messes up twice. Once she gets it, she shows the audience her portal sewing machine, known as SuperSue. It then cuts to Flora, who is a bit camera shy, which Stella later explains while insisting that Flora still loves to model her designs; even having Flora model a green dress. Ace does a run through of the Winx's various talents: singing (Musa), cooking (Flora), athletics (Aisha), fashion designing (Stella), technology (Tecna) and art (Bloom). As the crowd cheers, Ace urges them to keep up with the Winx on their search for talent for the day.

As the girls get ready, Stella steals the cameras again and almost lets the Talent Thief slip. Luckily she manages to cover it up by saying the show's slogan. The Winxmobile drives out away from their loft and, now with the cameras gone, Bloom reminds Stella of the three rules they are living by: they are on WOW to save Earth kids from the Talent Thief, they cannot use magic publicly and, if they are caught using magic, their cover will be blown; all of which Stella is fully aware of.

Soon enough, the girls make it to a park where they are holding WOW auditions. They watch a girl dancing with her dog, three guys dressed in animal costumes, and still have many more to sit through. Tecna lists off the rest of the contestants until, suddenly, Musa hears someone singing and urges her friends to check out the source with her. The singing leads the Winx to a small cafe where the singer is a young waitress who works there. Musa insists that she would be perfect for WOW and Stella adds that it would mean that she would also be perfect for "that guy." Thinking that her friends are confused, Stella almost lets the Talent Thief slip again until Aisha tells her that they will know who they mean if Stella just calls him "that guy." Stella then takes a look at their surroundings and claims that he could be anywhere. Bloom agrees and affirms that they cannot let this girl out of their sight. However, unbeknownst to them, the Thief is listening in.

The Winx manage to sit the girl down and talk with her. She does not think that she could be much of a singer until Bloom mentions that this would make her the first star of this season of WOW. The girl brings up that she has been working on a song she would like to perform but is interrupted by her co-worker, who needs her to help prepare 100 cupcakes for tonight. The girl, named Annabelle, apologizes to the Winx and tells them that Louise needs her at the cafe. That is when Bloom claims that she and the Winx will help her with the cupcakes so that Annabelle can prep for her WOW performance. The girls help prepare the cupcakes needed as, whenever Annabelle is off work, Musa helps coach her. Stella even prepares a dress custom-made for Annabelle's big night! The weeks go by like this and, soon enough, the night of Annabelle's performance arrives.

On WOW, Ace tells the fans that, in a few hours, they will determine whether or not Annabelle is Wow! or Out of the show. He then introduces the judges, with Margot first. Margot believes that Annabelle is Out as she finds her delivery to be amateurish and her voice too timid. Cliff, the second judge, finds it all to be beautiful and believes that Annabelle (and everyone tuned in) to be Wow!

Later that evening, at the Frutti Music Bar, Aisha welcomes to the crowd to WOW's first performance of the season. Flora specifies that they will be hearing a song sung by Annabelle and Tecna directs the cameras to Bloom, who is inside the Bar with its owner. Inside, Bloom thanks Roxy for hosting Annabelle's performance and Roxy announces that there will be a new smoothie dedicated to the show called Rainbow Wow. Bloom then directs the camera backstage in order to meet with Annabelle. Backstage, Annabelle is busy warming up, which Musa later clarifies by explaining that a person's voice is delicate. Stella also insists that fashion is as delicate as a person's voice because, if a singer does not wear the right dress for such a crucial performance, it will be like a star during a cloudy night; no one will see it sparkle. Stella then explains her personal approach to bringing out a person's beauty as she does Annabelle's makeup.

Ace thanks the Winx for their report and checks in with the two WOW Judges for their opinions. Cliff finds Annabelle to be lovely and elegant to the point where he is getting goosebumps all over his arms. Margot, however, expects Annabelle's performance to be a flop as she tells Cliff to put a sweater on. Ace then reminds the audience that it will ultimately be their votes that decide whether or not Annabelle's dreams will come true.

Later that evening, Annabelle's concert is just about to start. The crowd cheers as Annabelle makes her way to the centerstage. The music slowly begins to play and Annabelle begins to sing her song, This is Me. As she sings, Bloom and Stella marvel at her amazing voice and Stella points out that her talent could be perfect enough to draw out "that guy". Bloom tells Stella to stay on high alert as the Talent Thief must be hidden somewhere within the crowd. Musa and Flora see a person wearing a familiar yellow hoodie and begin approaching them, only to realize that it was just a girl and not the Thief.

Annabelle sings her heart out and finishes her performance. She fears that the crowd may have not liked her song as they are all completely silent, but soon enough, the crowd erupts in cheers and applause. Annabelle is overwhelmed by this and happily tears up on-stage as the crowd continues to cheer. Bloom realizes that Annabelle's dream is coming true right before their eyes and Stella adds that it was all thanks to them.

On WOW, Ace encourages the audience to place their votes through any sort of electronic device they own in order to determine whether Annabelle is either Wow! or Out. In a short moment, all of the votes are tallied and Annabelle is considered as Wow! Her dreams will come true! Also in that moment, the Winx begin to feel some sort of power surge through each of them. As the girls let the power flow through them, they all experience a vision; a vision of them in what seemed to be a new fairy form. The vision is brief and once it ends, the girls all try to figure out what happened. Bloom asks if they all felt the same feeling that she had felt and Musa confirms this, adding in that it happened as soon as Annabelle's dream was realized. She then asks the girls if there may be a connection between the mysterious vision and Annabelle's dreams coming true. Back on the WOW set, Ace congratulates Annabelle on becoming the first finalist of WOW.

Backstage, Annabelle is still overcome with joy as the crowd chants her name for an encore. She holds one of her earrings as she collects herself. She reapplies her lipstick until she sees a shadow pop up from behind her through the mirror. She turns around to see what is there and one of her earrings falls off her left ear. The crowd continues to chant Annabelle's name as the Winx express their joy over Annabelle's latest accomplishment. That is until, suddenly, the lights go out. Bloom realizes that Annabelle might be in danger and the girls spring into action. The girls run backstage and rush towards Annabelle's dressing room. During all of this, Annabelle notices that one of her earrings has fallen out and kneels on the floor to look for it. When she reaches for the earring, a shadow looms over her.

The Winx make it to Annabelle's dressing room but Annabelle is nowhere to be seen. They walk out to search the halls until a figure runs by them in a hallway opposite to them. Bloom suspects that it is Annabelle and the Winx run after her. Bloom tries to stop "Annabelle" and Musa suspects that she may have gotten scared, urging the Winx to get to her before it is too late. As they continue giving chase, Bloom suspects that this may also be an ambush orchestrated by the Talent Thief. She, Stella, Musa and Flora are able to corner "Annabelle" until she jumps into a nearby duct to escape. They continue to chase after "Annabelle" and end up just behind the stage. Suddenly, the lights come back on and one of the stage-lights shines directly on "Annabelle." Unable to see anything, she stumbles over and falls off the stage. Luckily, Aisha manages to save "Annabelle" by catching her in a bubble and Stella uses her magic to tilt the stage-light away from them. Once Aisha's bubble brings her back up, the Winx realize that who they were chasing was neither Annabelle or the Talent Thief, but Louise.

Aisha demands to know why Louise is here and where Annabelle ended up. Louise apologizes and begins to break down in tears as she claims that she could not bear to see Annabelle grab the spotlight. Aisha dismisses this as a false alarm and insists that they still need to search for Annabelle, so she, Stella and Musa run off to continue their search. As they leave, Louise explains that she tried to become a star on WOW last year but she did not make it. She admits to being envious of Annabelle's natural talent and claims that she tried to smother her anger. However, she could not bear to see Annabelle living out her dreams and she made it her mission to sabotage her performance. Bloom insists that Annabelle is living out her own dream and runs off to join the rest of the Winx in their search for Annabelle. Tecna and Flora run off with her, leaving Louise behind.

On WOW, Ace proclaims to the audience that there has been a surprising turn of events: Annabelle has gone missing. He claims that the unexpected is what makes a reality show exciting as he tries to contain his frustration towards the Winx. To buy time, Ace has Annabelle's performance played again on-screen.

The Winx continue to look for Annabelle but cannot find her anywhere. Bloom thinks that she sees the Talent Thief in the crowd but it is just some other guy wearing a yellow hoodie. As she continues searching, the drones fly up to her and the rest of the Winx gather around. The video of Annabelle's performance ends and Ace appears on-screen asking where Annabelle has gone. Bloom tells the girls that they need to find Annabelle at any cost. As for Annabelle, she finds herself in a dark and gloomy forest, where the same suspicious shadow looms over her as she asks it of who it is and what it wants.

2- "Nuovi Poteri" ("New Powers")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

Annabelle wakes up and finds herself lost in a dark forest. As she wanders around, three shadows slither towards her and rise from the ground. Terrified, Annabelle runs away as fast as she can as the shadows give chase. She hides behind a tree and watches as the shadows slither off in different directions. Luckily, none of the shadows are able to find her and they slither off into the darkness.

Bloom finds herself on a murky beach and approaches the dark waters. When she looks into her reflection on the water, it turns into Annabelle's, startling her. Bloom then decides to explore the forest just beyond the beach and as she wanders around, she finds that all of the missing talents seem to be lost within the forest as well. She tries to reach out to the lost talents but she is grabbed by the wrist. When she turns to see who grabbed her, she comes face to face with Annabelle, who had been looking for Bloom and the Winx for help.

Bloom tells Annabelle that she had been worried about her ever since her disappearance and Annabelle notices that one of her earrings is still missing. Bloom tries to figure out what this means but the two girls are interrupted by crackling sounds. Annabelle gets frightened and runs away but Bloom stands there confused. Realizing that Annabelle had run off, Bloom runs after her but gets grabbed by tough vines, stopping her in her tracks. The crackling gets increasingly louder as Bloom struggles to squeeze past the vines. She shouts Annabelle's name and, before she knows it, she wakes up in her bedroom back at the loft. Aisha assures Bloom that she was just experiencing a nightmare as the rest of the Winx gather around. Flora offers Bloom some of her tea, believing that it will help her calm down, and Bloom thanks her as she takes the cup of tea. She then tells the girls that she does not believe that her dream was just a simple bad dream and claims that she was able to see Annabelle. She insists that Annabelle was trying to tell her something and Musa asks if Annabelle was okay. Bloom is certain that Annabelle needs their help and explains that she seems to be trapped in some kind of forest. However, before they can talk about this predicament any longer, the WOW theme sounds, signalling the start of the show.

Ace welcomes everyone to another episode of WOW and cues the judges' entrance. Margot appears first and claims that she hates talents, but the only thing she loves is her dog, Puff. Cliff appears right afterwards and claims that if a person is spontaneous, then they are also talented. As Ace announces the camera drones' arrival, Bloom insists that they need to find Annabelle and claims that they cannot look for her if they are stuck being filmed for the whole day. Stella, who is obviously annoyed, tries to storm off to deal with the cameras but is stopped by Musa. Tecna asks what they should do now that the drones will be at their loft at any second and Stella assures the girls to leave it all to her.

Back on set, Ace announces that they will be reviewing Annabelle's performance from last night and plays a small clip of the performance. Afterwards, Ace asks Cliff how he thought of Annabelle, to which Cliff claims that he found her to be mesmerizing. Ace then asks Margot for her opinion, and she claims that Annabelle's exit was just as poor as her performance. Ace directs the audience to the big screen as he teases the possibility of whether or not their six talent scouts have been able to find Annabelle.

The drones arrive in the Winx's living room as Ace wishes them a good morning, only to realize that their room is completely empty. Just then, Stella pops into frame and blows kisses at all of her fans. Ace greets Stella and asks what the latest update is. Stella asks if he means the latest update on her smartphone until Ace clarifies that he is talking about Annabelle. Stella then claims that Annabelle will not be returning to WOW. Shocked and confused, Ace reminds Stella that Annabelle could have made it to their final contest, but Stella insists that Annabelle told her that she already managed to realize her dream by performing in front of an adoring audience. Ace laments over how they now have one less finalist until Aisha and Musa come into frame; Aisha claiming that they are up to the challenge. Ace then asks where the other Winx girls are and Stella tells the drones to come with her.

The show then cuts to a shot of the Winx's bedroom, where Stella explains that Bloom is feeling "under the weather." She then shows that Flora is not feeling well either and neither is Tecna. Ace urges the three sick Winx to get on their feet as a minor cold should not be keeping them in bed, but Tecna claims that after conducting an analysis of her symptoms, a full day of bed-rest for her, Bloom and Flora is in order. Ace insists that WOW cannot stop airing for an entire day and claims that the show must go on.

Stella excitedly shows the audience her fully equipped walk-in closet until Musa and Aisha bring her back to her senses. She apologizes and agrees with Ace, claiming that the show must go on and that they cannot wait to show everyone a new talent. Ace agrees with Stella's sentiment as he declares that, even though they are split in half, the Winx are still ready for WOW.

As the three girls head out, Stella encourages the camera drones to follow them and Ace has them do just that. Once the three fairies have left with the drones in tow, the "sick" Winx girls sneak out of their room and onto the terrace, where they see the Winxmobile drive off with the drones. Now that the drones are ignoring them, Bloom urges for Tecna and Flora to spring into action alongside her. As Aisha drives the Winxmobile around, Musa asks Stella about how they will be able to find that talent. Stella assures Musa that a talent will pop up when they least expect it and laughs to herself. One of the drones flies up to one of the windows and Stella insists that they need to lose the cameras first, so Aisha picks up speed.

On the WOW set, Ace is lounging in his dressing room where he is being tended to by his two makeup artists. He sees that the Winxmobile has sped off, causing the drones to lose it, and quickly becomes annoyed. He tells someone to make sure that the drones do not lose sight of the Winx until the director's assistant whispers to Ace that he is on the air. Ace shoos his makeup artists away as he tries to collect him, telling the audience that they will be able to find out where the Winx have gone off to after a word from their sponsor. Now that the show has cut to commercial, Ace grows furious with how his forehead is still too shiny and screams for his makeup artists.

Somewhere else in the city, the girls have set up a stage where their talent will perform. Musa, dressed in disguise, asks how they will be able to pull this off as she has not had time to prep at all. Stella claims that she can just improvise and drags a reluctant Musa on-stage. Once on-stage, Stella introduces Musa as an actress named Myria who is "out of this world." The audience cheer Myria on as she begins her performance. However, it is not as good as they had been led to believe. "Myria" tries to act out as much as she can remember but has a hard time moving around on stage as her dress trips her up and her hair keeps blocking her view.

On WOW, Ace asks the judges whether or not Myria is Wow! or Out. Margot ranks Myria's acting at a zero on a scale from 1 to 10, but Cliff wants Myria to continue on WOW, believing that she will improve. However, as Myria continues to act, the audience starts to boo at her. As the crowd boos, a man in a red jacket calls someone on his cellphone.

In another part of the park, just behind the crowd, a woman working in a taco truck gets a phone call. A hefty man walks over and asks for a spicy taco but the woman ignores him. The man on the other line, named Gómez, reports that the two Winx girls were with Annabelle shortly before her disappearance. The woman watches over video footage of the Winx helping around the café and asks where the other Winx girl is. Gómez looks around, claiming that she may be around somewhere and tells the woman to give him more time; specifically referring to her as "darling." The woman demands that Gómez not to call her that and hangs up. The hefty man who had been waiting for his spicy taco asks if the woman can give him a large one but the woman claims that it is closing time and slams the shutters on him.

In another side of town, Bloom, Tecna and Flora try to come up with any clues towards Annabelle's disappearance. Bloom is certain that the earring must be a clue because Annabelle was trying to show it to her in her dream. Tecna asks if Bloom is talking about one earring or multiple earrings and Bloom clarifies that Annabelle was only wearing one when she saw her. She sketches out the earring on her tablet and shows it to Tecna and Flora. However, on another side of the café's terrace, Gómez takes a picture of the three girls and watches them. Just then, Louise approaches him and asks if he is ready to order. He lists off a large amount of food and Louise walks back inside, rolling her eyes. As she walks back inside, Flora watches her and notices that Louise has a very sorrowful look on her face.

In the kitchen, Louise is crying to herself until Flora walks in to ask if she is okay. She claims that she is and Flora assures Louise that they are all worried about Annabelle, claiming that it is alright to feel sad and scared. Louise tells Flora that she is scared at the possibility of Annabelle not being safe and believes that all of this is her fault for letting her jealousy get to her, causing her to cut of the power. She uses Flora as a shoulder to cry on as Flora tells her to not worry. She promises Louise that she and the Winx will find Annabelle and asks for her help. Louise nods and that is when Bloom and Tecna enter the kitchen. Bloom shows Louise the sketch of the earring and asks if she has seen one like it, to which Louise explains that she gave those earrings to Annabelle as a gift. The earrings were Annabelle's good luck charms and Louise remembers her wearing them the night of her performance. Bloom then takes out her Winx Watch and tries to contact Aisha. Aisha picks up and tells Bloom that they are still in the square with Musa and Bloom tells her that once they are done with that "torture," they need to meet up at the Frutti Music Bar now that they have a lead on Annabelle. Little do they know, they are being watched just behind the kitchen door by Gómez.

Gómez reports that the Winx have just got a lead on Annabelle, but the three Winx girls and Louise exit the kitchen as he is making the call. He quickly hides his phone behind his back once they see him and he acts as if he was looking for the restrooms in order to seem less suspicious.

Meanwhile, on WOW, Margot begs Ace to spare them from more of Myria's performance. He looks over to Cliff who just shrugs as he has nothing to say. Ace whispers at one of the camera drones to pull the plug and then apologizes to the audience about losing their live feed from the town square stage due to "technical difficulties." He then assures the audience that WOW will come back on as soon as they regain footage.

Back at the café, Gómez watches the three Winx girls leave and reports the woman on the other line, named Evans, that they are heading out.

In another side of town, Evans is working an ice cream truck in disguise. She praises Gómez for his good work and hands off an ice cream cone to a person that was waiting. Just then, the same hefty man from before asks for a strawberry cone. Evans spots Bloom, Tecna and Flora just across the street and urges for Gómez to follow them. She then claims that the ice cream truck is closed, closes the shutters on the man a second time and speeds off. In her truck, there are various videos of what happened the afternoon before Annabelle's disappearance, a picture of Annabelle and Louise and what looks like a police badge.

That evening, Gómez and Evans drive up to the Frutti Music Bar, where they quickly spot the Winx making their way inside. Once all of the girls are through the entrance, Evans and Gómez follow them inside.

The two of them stake out the Bar in search of the Winx until Evans catches Gómez flirting with another woman instead of working. She snaps her fingers and signals for Gómez to get a move on, which he does so reluctantly. Evans then smirks at the woman Gómez was flirting with before walking away.

The two of them sit down by the counter where Roxy hands them a double smoothie for two. She asks if they ordered one double smoothie for two people, to which Gómez confirms but Evans denies. She hands the smoothie off to Gómez who starts to ramble on about how he prefers spicy smoothies until Evans steps on his foot. She then asks Roxy if "that one-hit wonder from WOW" performed at the Bar. Roxy confirms this and Evans asks if she knows what happened to her shortly afterwards. Roxy claims that she does not know as no one saw Annabelle after the performance and Evans asks if the last place anyone saw Annabelle was in her dressing room. Roxy dodges the question by asking if she can get them anything else, to which Gómez uses the opportunity to order another smoothie. Roxy turns away to get a cup and when she turns around, the two are gone.

In another part of the Bar, the Winx enter the dressing room Annabelle was last seen in. Once Stella locks the door behind them, Bloom gets a call from Roxy on her Winx Watch, telling her that two people were just asking her about the dressing room. Bloom thanks Roxy and urges for the rest of the Winx to hurry in their search. Tecna is just about to pull out her Winx Watch until Stella insists that she can do it. She sits herself in one of the seats and envisions herself in Annabelle's position just after performing: she takes in the applause from the crowd as she grabs one of her good luck earrings. She is still nervous and spots something from behind her, causing one of the earrings to fall out, however, when she tries to pick it back up, the shadowy figure looms over her.

Stella opens her eyes and leaps from the seat, explaining that Annabelle had the earring in her hand but she was grabbed by someone. She fights to try and push that someone away which causes the earring to fly out of her hands and roll across the floor. Stella kneels down under the desks, moves the trash bin over and finds the earring right underneath.

Bloom praises Stella and kneels down to pick up the earring. As she reaches for the earring, she notices that there is some shiny dust just around it. She realizes that the dust looks just like the dust that the Talent Thief usually leaves behind and gathers it up along with the earring. Tecna takes out one of her gadgets to suck the dust up and has it do an analysis, where it comes up positive.

Suddenly, there is a flash of light and a portal opens up in the middle of the room! Before they can even react, the Winx are enveloped by the portal's light.

Evans and Gómez rush into the dressing room but find nothing and no one. The two of them leave, with Evans slamming the door behind them.

Meanwhile, the Winx are thrown into a dreary, grey world and they find themselves in a completely new form! Taken aback, the girls approach the portal and Tecna asks if any of them knows what just happened. Musa claims that it feels as if an inner power of theirs grew and took shape, but Stella is still confused as to how the portal even opened up in the first place. Flora asks about where they could be and, with enough time to take in their surroundings, Bloom concludes that it is the same place she saw in her dreams; the same place where she ran into Annabelle. She urges for the girls to save their questions for later and the six of them search the dark forest just beyond the murky beach.

As they explore the forest, Musa feels as if Annabelle is nearby and in another direction. Aisha can feel it too and Bloom claims that it is the same feeling she felt during Annabelle's performance. Flora describes it as a huge positive force that is able to link them all together and the six fairies follow that force farther into the forest.

The girls search through the forest until Bloom catches sight of Annabelle. They all land in front of the scared singer, who seems to be getting more and more confused and scared by seeing creatures with big iridescent wings. Bloom gives Annabelle a big toothy grin which reassures her and helps her realize that the creatures with wings are the Winx. She tearfully embraces Bloom as she expresses her relief in being able to see them again and Bloom hands Annabelle her missing earring. Annabelle repeatedly thanks Bloom as she puts the earring back on and then asks how she and the Winx were able to gain the wings on their backs. Bloom reveals that they are fairies who have come to save her and Annabelle is (obviously) surprised by all of this. She asks how the Winx managed to get to the dark forest and if they used magic to get there. Stella cuts in to explain that a magic portal opened up which forced them into this dark world and, after a brief realization, asks a major question: who opened the portal in the first place? As the seven girls mull over this question, Musa notices shadowy figures moving in the distance. The Winx surround Annabelle in an attempt to protect her as Flora concludes that whoever opened that portal wants them to remain in this world.

Aisha urges that they all dash for the portal until her shadow suddenly changes shape and comes out of the ground. Before her shadow can attack, Aisha beats it back with a magic blast made of bubbles, which causes the shadow to flee. The rest of the Winx's shadows spring from the ground and prepare for an attack. The four of them get Annabelle and fly away as Stella and Aisha fend off the shadow creatures. Once they manage to beat them back, the two of them regroup with the rest of the Winx and Annabelle.

On the murky beach, the girls make it to the portal, which is still intact. Stella tells Annabelle to enter the portal right after her and flies into it. Annabelle jumps at the portal but is repelled backwards, to the surprise of everyone else. Annabelle recovers her footing and tries again more carefully, revealing that the portal refuses to let her in. She suspects that something is preventing her from entering the portal and Bloom asks if she knows how she passed through it on the way to the other world. The only thing Annabelle can remember was this sand that made her really sleepy and that, before she knew it, she ended up there. Aisha spots that the shadow creatures from earlier are right on their tail and fend them back with Bloom's help.

As they keep the creatures busy, Tecna pulls out the gadget where she keeps all of the sand collected from their investigation. She pours some on Annabelle and advises for her to try passing through the portal again. Annabelle slowly enters the portal as Bloom and Aisha continue to fight off the shadow creatures, but she is suddenly thrown back and held in the air by a mysterious force. This force begins to make Annabelle vanish and before the Winx can do anything, the force blasts them back, forcing them out of the dreary, grey world.

Now back in the dressing room, the portal dissipates, leaving them with no way to get back to Annabelle, much less rescue her. Bloom rushes towards the door and realizes that, with the portal gone, so is Annabelle.

3- "La Leggenda delľuomo Coccodrillo" ("The Legend of the Crocodile Man")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

It is morning at New York, where two young boys are racing their remote-controlled boats at a pier.

A ferry passes by where everyone on board seems to be enjoying themselves. Everyone except for one boy sitting at the back of the ferry. He sees a fairly attractive girl his age walk near him to take some pictures and psyches himself up to talk to her. After slicking his hair back, the boy approaches the girl and nervously introduces himself as Naoki. He tries to make small talk but the girl is not impressed. He then asks if she wants to see something, but is cut off by the girl suspecting that he wants to show her his snacks. Naoki corrects her by saying that he is about to show her his "reasons for living" and digs through his bag to pull out various things: superhero comic books from the sixties, movies that talk about faraway worlds; but before he can pull out any more, the girl has already left.

Disheartened, Naoki goes to brood at the back end of the ferry. Little does he know, he is being watched by some sort of creature in the ocean. Naoki notices the two boys racing their remote-controlled boats at a nearby pier and takes out his phone from his bag in order to hack the toy boats' controls. He does so successfully and programs both boats to crash into each other, confusing the boys at the pier. As he gets ready to make the boats crash another time, they are capsized by a heap of scales emerging from the ocean. Naoki notices this and decides to record the creature on his phone.

A few moments later, one of the ferry passengers notices a scaly creature at the side of the ferry and warns the others about the "Bay Monster." The same scaled creature briefly hops up at the back of the ferry behind Naoki, only to escape back into the ocean. All of the passengers see this and panic as Naoki tries to convince them that he is actually the Bay Monster. The passengers are too busy panicking to even notice Naoki, leaving him feeling ignored and disheartened.

At the Winx Loft, Bloom declares that their objective is no longer solely about saving talents kidnapped by the Talent Thief, but it now includes saving Annabelle as well. Bloom claims that they need an idea first and Aisha suggests that they figure out a way to get back to the dimension where all of the kidnapped talents are being held. Musa asks Aisha about how they will even go about doing so as they tried to access the world before with their powers but with no results. Flora suggests that they could try contacting Annabelle but Stella parrots her idea in a louder voice. Aisha points out that Annabelle disappeared before them, leaving no traces behind, and Musa suggests that the golden dust they collected from earlier missions may help them. Flora brings up the fact that it worked on Annabelle once before and believes that it may work on them as well, but Stella parrots her idea in a louder voice once again. However, Tecna is not sure if the dust will work on them and they do not have that much of it left. Aisha, now frustrated, insists that they have to try something and volunteers to do so herself. Tecna urges for Aisha to slow down as she does some tests on her tablet. She comes to the conclusion that they only have enough dust for one try but Aisha claims that their problem cannot be solved by Tecna "playing on her tablet." Tecna claims that she was only trying to help until Flora reminds the girls that Ace's show will be starting soon and advises them all to play along to avoid blowing their cover. Musa turns their TV on as she asks about Annabelle. Bloom is certain that they will find Annabelle and rhetorically asks the girls whether they are or are not the Winx Club. Aisha skates up to Bloom's side and declares that, in the meantime, they can look for and protect other kids that may end up becoming targets for the Talent Thief.

Soon enough, the WOW theme begins to play as the camera drones arrive in the living room of the girls' loft. Ace does his usual introduction but as he is just about to introduce the Winx, an emergency broadcast cuts the show off in order to report on the rising panic occurring in New York City. Apparently a large crocodile was reported to be seen in the bay earlier that day and the report cuts to testimonies from variou witnesses. One man claims that the crocodile was thirty feet long, another man claims that it had three heads, and a middle-aged woman claims that the creature looked right at her but she did not know what he wanted. Just then, the Winx see Naoki walk passed and get some sort of brief vision. In their vision, they sift through a crowd of people and focus on Naoki, the kid they saw on the broadcast. Before they know it, the emergency broadcast ends and cuts back to WOW, where Ace is yelling at one of his assistants. Once he notices that he is back on the air, Ace throws his assistant aside, greets the viewers and the Winx, and asks if the six girls are ready to find some new talent. He then asks where they will be finding said talent and the girls cheerfully exclaim that they will be traveling to New York.

Later that day, the six fairies arrive in New York just as planned. As they ride down the busy city streets in their Winxmobile, Bloom asks the girls if any of them saw when she saw and shows them a sketch of the boy from their vision on her tablet. Flora confirms that she also saw the same boy and Stella explains that she got a strange feeling when she saw him; the same feeling she got during Annabelle's performance. Bloom specifies the moment as the one where Annabelle's dreams were finally coming true and Musa asks if their new powers may be tied to talented youths. Bloom sends her sketch of Naoki to a monitor near the driver's seat and, after taking a quick glance, Aisha proposes that they split up to find the boy before he ends up getting himself in trouble. Just then, Ace shows up on their electronic monitor and hopes that the Winx have located some actual talent, and not someone like the "reject" they got last time, as she was rejected by both the judges and the audience. He shows them footage of Musa's embarrassing performance as "Myria," which causes Stella to point and laugh at Musa before covering her own mouth. Musa, glaring at Stella, assures Ace that they will not be improvising this time.

Once Ace is gone, Tecna conducts some analyses on her tablet concerning the scratch marks on the hull of the ferry. Flora claims that it may not be a good idea to split up but Aisha insists that they need to lure this creature out somehow as he may be the Talent Thief. Bloom believes that it may be working for the Talent Thief as well, but finds it odd that it let itself be seen by so many people. Flora is just about to say something until Tecna realizes that someone is trying to draw attention to themselves. Bloom asks if she means the creature until Tecna specifies that it is the talent who wants attention.

Somewhere else in the city, Naoki arrives at a comic store on his scooter. Inside, he looks through another issue of "Monsters" until he overhears a group of three boys arguing over which one is stronger: the alien or the space predator. One of the boys claims that the alien has the advantage because he is faster, can move without making noise and can launch surprise attacks. However, another one of the boys claims that this one species of alien can sense the electromagnetic waves of a xenomorph. Naoki cuts into the conversation by claiming that he witnessed a creature stronger than all of the others, even the one from "Monsters." The boys do not believe him at first but Naoki insists that he is telling the truth this time. He then goes on to excitedly explain that the Bay Monster was a super fast alien but he was smarter than it. He managed to follow it at a distance and the Monster was about to eat everyone on the ferry when it jumped out of the water. As he tries to explain what he did, the blonde boy asks if Naoki used his exoskeleton on the Bay Monster. The red haired boy chimes in by claiming that Naoki is the true alien and the three boys laugh at him. Frustrated, Naoki storms out of the comic store and slams his issue of "Monsters" on the ground. The comic hits a sewer grate, where the Bay Monster seems to be watching Naoki as he angrily rides off on his scooter.

Soon enough, Naoki gets stopped by a red light, where he ends up being just in front of the Winxmobile!

Inside the Winxmobile, Tecna is relaying what she managed to come up with. The Bay Monster is about three meters in height, has 124 fangs, a tail that is 1.5 meters long, human intelligence and scaly armor. Flora tries to make out the video footage of the creature as she sits next to Tecna but cannot make out much as the footage is not clear. She claims that, while she cannot make out the specifics, the creature seems to be a giant crocodile. Bloom realizes that it is just like the urban legend and Stella believes that they could find the sewers in which the creature lives. She tries to do a search on her phone but quickly gets sad when she realizes that she did not download the app for it. Aisha asks where they will be going or if they will be looking for the new talent and Tecna activates the thermal search radar. She uses Bloom's sketch in an attempt for finding someone nearby with a similar face and realizes that the kid they are looking for as in the area.

Just outside, Naoki begins to grow impatient with how long the red light has been on and hacks into the traffic lighting system in order to turn the next three traffic lights green. Once he does so, he speeds off as Tecna rushes up to the driver's seat to tell Aisha that the kid they are looking for is right in front of them. Aisha speeds off after Naoki as she risks crashing into other passing trucks and people crossing the street. As she chases Naoki, he continues to hack the traffic lighting system, turning more and more oncoming traffic lights green. He then speeds off in another direction and Aisha advises for the girls to fasten their seat belts as she makes a risky turn after Naoki.

Naoki continues to enjoy speeding through the busy streets of New York until he notices the Winxmobile on his tail. He begins to suspect that, since he was the first person to spot and record the Bay Monster, he may have ended up in the middle of an intergalactic conspiracy. Confident that he will evade possible capture, Naoki picks up speed. Aisha tries to figure out what Naoki could be up to and starts to think that he may be trying to shake them off. She speeds on after him as she cuts between empty gaps on the road between other cars.

Back on the set of WOW, Ace, the judges and the audience are watching the chase unfold. Ace wonders if the girls are trying to lose the camera drones a second time, but he tries to play it off as the Winx trying to keep the audience excited when he realizes that they are back on the air. Cliff finds the chase to be spectacular, better than any he has seen in an action movie, but Margot would rather have more substance over spectacle.

Back on the streets, the Winx are continuing their chase as Naoki keeps changing the traffic lights from red to green. Naoki suspects that those who are chasing him must be the Men in Black. Suddenly, he hears a voice coming from the headphones in his helmet asking for him to stop. Naoki start to think that the Women in Black are chasing him and gets even more excited. He declares that they will never catch him and speeds off even more. Tecna tries to convince Naoki into talking with them until Aisha notifies the girls that she is just about to pass him and makes a hard turn, startling the rest of the girls. She insists that the rumbling they felt was not from her driving and, it turns out that the ground is crumbling in a straight line just underneath the Winxmobile. The cracks rip open from under the Winxmobile as whatever is causing them heads straight for Naoki from behind. Tecna identifies the creature as the giant crocodile and Bloom tries to warn Naoki about it. Naoki tries to play it cool by introducing himself but before he can give a "code name," Bloom demands that he stop his scooter as the Winxmobile pulls up on his side. At that moment, the giant crocodile creature leaps out from the asphalt to attack Naoki! In a panic, Naoki covers his eyes with both arms and Aisha uses her magic to make a nearby fire-hydrant spray its water out to knock the creature out of the way. Naoki speeds passed all of this with his eyes closed and, when he realizes that he is safe, does a little cheer before almost falling over. As he regains control of his scooter, Naoki realizes that he is about to crash into a vendor's hot dog stand and closes his eyes, anticipating the crash. Flora conjures up some vines that grab Naoki's scooter by the wheel and throw him over the stand to safety.

The crocodile creature slips back into the cracks it caused as the Winx try to catch up with Naoki again. As Naoki lands, a flap of his bag opens up and a sheet of paper flies out of it as he speeds off. He tries to psyche himself up as he turns into a corner, only to end up in a dead-end, where the Winxmobile blocks his path from behind. As Naoki looks for an escape route, the sewer grate in front of him flies open and the crocodile creatures emerges from the sewers. Stella uses her magic to activate two nearby streetlights, which blind the creature and cause him to flee by climbing up nearby buildings. Bloom tries to assure Naoki that they will take him somewhere safe, but the crocodile creature returns and slams itself on top of the Winxmobile! Tecna notices that the impact broke their radar and Bloom uses her magic to heat up the surface of the Winxmobile in an attempt of getting the creature to flee. The creature struggles to keep its grasp on the vehicle and notices Naoki taking off. It trudges off and hops the rooftops of nearby buildings in order to chase the boy down.

Flora quickly takes notice of this and comments on how the creature completely ignored them to go after Naoki. Just then, the girls get another transmission from Ace, who demands to know if Bloom has an explanation for all of what happened. Bloom tries to explain but Ace interrupts her to remind the girls that they ran away from the live feed again. He asks what their plan was even supposed to be and Bloom claims that they were setting up a surprise, as they are on the search for a very extraordinary guy. Ace asks if this "extraordinary guy" is a Formula One driver and demands to know why they need to rush so much. Bloom insists that it is because true talents are not used to being in the spotlight. She claims that they will find him and hangs up on Ace, remarking on how annoying he is now that he is gone. Tecna then asks how they will be able to track Naoki now that the scanner is broken but finds that the radar is working again! She wonders how that can even be possible as Aisha backs the Winxmobile out of the alleyway.

Aisha proposes that they follow the trail that they have and Stella declares that they will go disguised as journalists in order to keep a low profile. She then steps on a nearby pad that changes her into a journalist's outfit. Bloom and Flora follow suit by changing into their journalists disguises as Tecna handles changing the flap on their Winxmobile to make it look like a news van.

The girls return to the site where the crocodile creature first tried to attack publicly and see that a large crowd of bystanders, witnesses, police and news reporters have gathered. Tecna notices that their signals has disappeared but she is confident that Naoki should be around. The girls soon begin their investigation into the creature, starting with an excitable man trying to mimic the creature's movements. Flora investigates the cracks in the asphalt as Tecna and Aisha interview a middle-aged woman. Bloom and Flora investigate the cracks some more as Stella is preoccupied with posing for some of the bystanders, only to be dragged away not long after.

As Tecna wanders the scene, she notices something near the Winxmobile and crosses the yellow tape to see it. She approaches the wheel of the vehicle and peels off a flier from it. Bloom then approaches Tecna, asking if she really said that Naoki wants to be found. Tecna confirms this but specifies that he wants to be found in his own way. She points of that Naoki was able to bypass the software of the Winxmobile and repair their radar as she shows Bloom the flier she just retrieved. With that flier, Tecna is certain that now they know where to find the boy.

In another part of the city, Naoki enters a dimly-lit building with a sad look on his face. He continues farther inside until he is met by an elderly man named Sam. Sam asks why Naoki looks so down and if he had a bad day. Naoki explains that it was the exact opposite as a group of girls followed him throughout the city, but he lowers his head before finishing his sentence. Sam realizes that Naoki ran away from the group of girls and walks off, claiming that he will never understand kids today. Naoki walks over to a row of seats where some of the seats are occupied by robotic figures and plush toys. He throws himself into one of the seats, lounges back, and claims that he truly feels at home there. He looks back at some of the robot figures next to him and uses his phone to turn on a screen just in front of him. The screen plays Naoki's recording of the crocodile creature when he was on the ferry and he uses his phone to activate colored spotlights that shine on him.

Just then, his phone goes off, showing that he just got a text message which asks if he was able to enjoy himself. Now suspicious, Naoki turns off everything he activated earlier and glares at the entrance. He then gets another text message asking if he is aware of the danger he is in. He looks back at the screen which switches from his recording to a scene on the streets where everyone in camera is enraged. Another message comes in asking if Naoki really wanted all of this and he jumps up from his seat. He rejects what has gone on to explain that what he really wants is to be recognized for his own capabilities but before he can exclaim what he really wants, a gentle voice from behind Naoki advises for him to be careful because she already knows. Naoki turns around to find Tecna approaching him as she claims that everyone wants to be seen by others, but sometimes this leads to exaggerating details and being selfish. Bloom appears from Naoki's left and claims that this is why everyone needs friends by their side. Real friends. Naoki looks back at the robotic figures and begins to look down again until the rest of the Winx walk in to join Tecna and Bloom. Naoki asks who they all are, to which Aisha tells him that they are the Winx and that they have come to save him. Musa explains that the crocodile creature is after Naoki, even if he is unaware of it, but Naoki does not understand why he is being chased as he believes that he is just a nobody. Tecna reveals that they are not sure of the reason either but what they do know is that the creature is indeed after Naoki. However, before she can finish her explanation, the crocodile creature crashes through the screen to attack! Bloom urges for the girls to transform but Stella asks about what they will do with their disguises. Bloom claims that they can trust Naoki and the six of them transform into their Dreamix forms.

Naoki braces himself for an oncoming attack by the crocodile creature but the creature is beaten back by a magical blast. The creature then rips off the grating on one of the air ducts and escapes into them. Naoki moves his arms from his face and his surprised to see the Winx flying. He quickly realizes that they are fairies, but Tecna claims that there is no time for explanations and urges Naoki to follow them. Naoki excitedly exclaims that it will be just like he has seen in movies until Tecna tells him to stop playing around. The Winx and Naoki then go deeper into the building after the creature.

In another room, Musa uses her powers to create the sounds of footsteps to lure the crocodile man out. The creature itself follows the sounds through the room until Flora sends vines out to bind it. Her spell is unsuccessful, however, as the creature is able to break free of the vines. It then charges at Flora until Bloom casts a spark of fire in front of the creature. This gives Flora time to get back in the air but it leaves Bloom open for an attack. Aisha cuts in to conjure up a waterspout just in front of Bloom to protect her, which also causes the crocodile creature to flee. The fairies give chase but the creature is able to find Naoki huddled in a corner! It tries to attack Naoki but a magical shield deflects its attack as it reveals itself. Naoki gives a thumbs up to Tecna, who gives one back, and Stella blows back the creature with a powerful blast of light. The creature crashes into an old shelf but when the dust settles, it is nowhere to be seen. Naoki asks if the creature left, but Aisha claims that if it did, it will be back. As Musa lands, she notices something on the floor and picks it up.

Naoki realizes that he was able to see the Bay Monster in all of its glory and insists that the world needs to know about it. Tecna tells Naoki that the world is not ready for such news, which makes Naoki upset, until she asks if he is ready for the world.

Later that afternoon, there is a long line of people just outside of the building! Musa explains to the crowd that the Museum of Science Fiction will take them on a fascinating journey and, inside the Museum, Naoki explains to another crowd of people that a certain type of special effect was originally used in low-budget films to help create the perfect atmosphere. He uses his phone to activate the robots behind them and make them move. This startles the crowd first but they all applaud as Naoki continues to explain that the animatronics are now used at the Zig Production Studios. Stella, Tecna and Bloom watch on from afar as Naoki demonstrates more of the animatronics' movements. Sam walks by, relieved to see Naoki with others, and the WOW camera drones zip out from behind the three girls.

Stella claims to the WOW audience that Naoki is a natural at science fiction and Ace asks the judges what they think; is Naoki Wow! or Out? Cliff can barely keep himself from crying as he is so moved by Naoki's ability to "dispense dreams through movies." Margot thinks that Naoki is not bad but not good either and she asks what her dog, Puff, thinks. Ace then turns to the results of the tele-voting and finds that the audience voted for Naoki to continue on WOW, making him the second finalist for the show!

Naoki continues to show off the animatronics and uses his phone to make one of them talk. As the crowd applauds, the same pretty girl Naoki tried to talk to on the ferry approaches him. She asks if Naoki can give her a tour but Naoki insists that he is busy at the moment, pointing back to the Winx. Musa begins to hear ticking coming from her bag and pulls of the strange device from earlier, only to see that it has begun to move.

4- "Il Mostro Sotto la Città" ("The Monster Under the City")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

The Crocodile Man lurches towards the Winx as they back away in fright. Bloom demands that the creature stay away from them, but this prompts him to fling rocks and dirt at them with his tail. The Crocodile Man then picks up a nearby robot figure with his tail and prepares to throw it at the Winx. Stella calls for help and before the Crocodile Man can throw the robot, someone jumps in front of the group of fairies. It is Super Naoki: defender of universes and avenger of the oppressed! The Crocodile Man throws the robot at the girls but Super Naoki is able to destroy it before it can hit any of them. As he basks in the Winx cheering for him, Super Naoki is caught by the Crocodile Man's tail! A green glow surrounds Super Naoki as he tries to break free. Tecna cheers Super Naoki on and insists that he is their last hope. As Super Naoki tries to break free of the Crocodile Man's grip, he is interrupted by a voice asking how he was able to do so.

It turns out that Naoki is explaining what happened to the same group of boys that teased him at the comic book store. He asks if they forgot about his special aura and claims that, first, he managed to drain the monster of its energy. Then he unleashed a flurry of attacks onto the beast before beating it with his light shot. Naoki is then interrupted by Tecna who lightly scolds him. Naoki claims that he was just trying to tell a story but Bloom insists that there is no time for stories; it is time for action. The Winx begin to exit the building as Naoki trails behind them, saying goodbye to his new friends. Before they leave, Stella hands the three boys a card. She tells them that they are the Winx and that they work as talent scouts in order to find new talent. The three boys gleefully clutch the card as they can barely contain their smiles.

In another part of the building, Bloom scolds Naoki by telling him that their mission is supposed to be kept secret as a lot of people's lives could be in danger, including his own. Naoki apologizes, admitting that he got carried away, but he proclaims that it is just fantastic that he gets to help real fairies. The girls manage to quiet him down as Naoki apologizes again. Aisha then asks if Tecna was able to find anything out about the strange watch, but Tecna is not having any luck. It remains as something made from an unidentifiable material of unknown origin. Aisha simplifies this by stating that they still do not know what the watch is and Bloom walks up to hold it, adding that they also do not know how it works. Flora chimes in by claiming that they can figure out who the watch belongs to and, when asked what she means, Flora clarifies that it must belong to the Crocodile Man. She suspects that the creature lost the watch in their recent fight and Aisha remembers that they still need to come up with a plan to catch him. Musa adds that they will need to do so before the Crocodile Man can capture Naoki. Flora claims that she observed the creature for quite a while during the fight and learned that direct attacks have no effect on the creature. She believes that they should be able to guess the creatures moves by luring him with some kind of bait, implying that they use Naoki. Naoki is all for being the bait but Aisha advises for him to slow down and she tells Flora that her plan may be too dangerous. Flora insists that it will be safe if Naoki comes with them and the girls all look at each other as they try to figure out their next move. Flora then looks over her should to find a potted plant and she begins to form more of a plan. However, her concentration is broken by the beeping of Bloom's Winx Watch.

Bloom answers the call and finds that Ace is on the other line. He demands to know where they will be going to find the next talent and Bloom claims that they will be bound to find more talent as they stay in New York. Ace then tells her that he will be sending the camera drones their way and demands that they get going. Now with the WOW camera drones following them, Aisha becomes frustrated since this means that they will have to give up their hunt for the Crocodile Man. However, Naoki assures the girls that he has a plan.

On the set of WOW, Ace does his usual introduction and he, the judges and the audience watch as the Winx eagerly rush into the Winxmobile. Stella tells the audience that they will be right with them after a quick change of makeup and the backdoors of the Winxmobile close. Act then announces to everyone that the Winx have spotted another talent hiding in the city of Manhattan, but they should be uncovering them very soon. He notices that their Winxmobile is not moving and tells the girls that the audience is eagerly awaiting them. The audience begins to chant for the Winx but the Winxmobile still has not moved. Suddenly, the video footage gets distorted for a moment and the Winx appear outside in their journalist outfits. Ace then encourages everyone to give their amazing talent scouts a round of applause.

Back in New York, it turns out that the camera drones have been hacked by none other than Naoki! Stella asks if he is sure that the drones cannot see them and Naoki explains that they have been hooked up to his video game. The drones think that they are filming the Winx when, in actuality, they are recording the girls' virtual models. Stella makes silly faces and noises at the camera drones until Bloom tells her that that is enough. Though, Stella cannot resist sticking her tongue at the drones one last time before leaving.

Now that they have Ace distracted, Bloom asks if any of the girls have any idea as to how they will start their search. Flora approaches the same potted plant from earlier and notices that the plant's flowers have been closed tight; almost as if the flowers were trying to protect themselves. After touching one of the curled-up flower buds, Flora closes her eyes to read what she feels. Images of pulsing vines, vines being snapped and flowers closing up flow through Flora's mind and she claims to be sensing feelings of dread, anxiety, fear and pain. Her eyes flash open and Bloom calls out to her. Flora explains that nature has sensed a hostile presence that it neither human nor plant. Aisha concludes that it is the Crocodile Man and Flora reveals that she may know where he is hiding.

Elsewhere in New York, the Winx and Naoki return to the alleyway where the Crocodile Man made his first attack and go down into the sewers to find him. Naoki expresses his excitement for the mission at every step of the way until Aisha quiets him down. She asks if he wants them to get caught but Naoki insists that he needs to be loud enough in order to be suitable bait. Musa advises for Naoki not to overreact as the Crocodile Man is a very intelligent creature. Little does the group realize is that the Crocodile Man is spying on them from under the sewer water. Bloom hopes that they will be able to learn more about the mysterious watch if they capture the Crocodile Man and advises everyone to stay on guard.

As the seven of them continue combing the sewers for their target, Bloom slips the strange watch into her pocket. Later on, they come across a sewer grate that was forced down into the sewers. As Bloom tries to piece these two things together, the Crocodile Man leaps out from the waters behind her and attacks! Bloom is able to roll out of the Crocodile Man's range and the Winx get ready to fight back. Bloom and Aisha leap over to the other side of the sewers as Flora and Tecna dodge the Crocodile Man's next attack. Tecna bounces off of the wall and manages to kick the creature across the face. Flora runs up the creature, jumps and stomps on his face, which also propels her to the other end of the sewers. The Crocodile Man lunges at Bloom and Flora but the two fairies easily jump out of the way. The Crocodile Man scales the walls and goes charging after Stella and Musa. Just as he is about to attack Musa, Aisha leaps at him and kicks his head away. She and the Crocodile Man begin to square off, one on one, with Aisha dodging and stopping every one of the creature's blows. Musa then grabs Aisha and moves her out of the way of the Crocodile Man's last attack. Naoki, who was hiding behind a corner, peers out to see how the confrontation is going, only to end up right in the Crocodile Man's line of sight. Luckily, Flora is able to catch Naoki and whisk him to the opposite side of the sewers. The Crocodile Man tries to pursue them but he is kicked in the face by Bloom and reels back from the attack. The first person that the creature notices after recovering is Tecna and he lunges at her. She and Bloom dodge the attack and get ready for the next but, in that moment, the Crocodile Man catches a glimpse of the strange watch slipping out of Bloom's pocket. He then dives into the sewer water and swims after Bloom.

The Crocodile Man manages to stop Bloom in her tracks but she barely dodges his attack and is able to flee. Bloom flees down the corridor on the right as the creature gives chase, completely ignoring Tecna. Bloom keeps running until she hits a dead-end and the Crocodile Man leaps out from behind the fairy to corner her. Aisha and Musa rush to the scene where Aisha throws a rock at one of the nearby pipes. This causes the pipe to burst and spew gushing water directly at the Crocodile Man, which flings him back into the sewer water. From there, the Crocodile Man decides to flee. Bloom turns back to the girls as she is relieved that they were able to come to her rescue.

With everything settled, Flora is confused about why her plan did not work out. Naoki wonders why the Crocodile Man did not come after him and Flora deduces that it was possibly due to Naoki not being the creature's target. She quickly realizes what this all means but it is too late; the Crocodile Man has come back for round two! Everyone manages to get out of the way using the dust and dirt the creature kicked up as cover. Noticing that no one is around, the Crocodile Man leaves to continue hunting them down, until he is stopped by a rock hitting his head. He turns around to find Naoki taunting him, calling him "an old lizard who is slow and near-sighted." The Crocodile Man glares down at Naoki who only taunts him some more. The creature then lunges at Naoki but ends up phasing through the boy! He slams his tail down on Naoki again and realizes that he was nothing more than a hologram. Bloom then drops down from the ceiling and attacks the Crocodile Man, which causes him to flee. Once he is gone, Naoki comes out from a nearby corner as he tinkers on his phone. Bloom praises Naoki on a job well done and Naoki claims that it was all thanks to the latest projection technology. Stella asks if they have to dive into the water now until she is interrupted by Bloom's beeping Winx Watch. To make matters worse, it is Ace who is calling them.

Ace paces around his dressing room demanding to know what Bloom and the Winx are doing as his two assistants try to tend to his hair. Bloom does not understand what Ace is talking about and asks what the problem is. Ace figures that this means it is only normal for the Winx to be acting out of their minds and Bloom tries to assure him that they will find some more new talents. Ace then asks Bloom if it is normal for any person to repeat the same sentence for two minutes straight and the call ends. The girls look back at Naoki with annoyed looks on their faces, as Naoki promised to take care of their cover.

Footage of Musa and Stella asking a woman if she can sing plays over and over on a loop until it cuts to footage of Bloom and Aisha glitching out as they are seemingly moonwalking down the streets. Footage of Tecna and Flora walking into a door as they glitch out plays right afterwards until the same footage of Aisha and Bloom "moonwalking" is played again.

Ace continues his call with Bloom where Bloom tries to calm Ace down by claiming that it will not be the end of the world if they have a little screw-up. Ace insists that it is the end of the world because WOW is supposed to be a talent show, not a sitcom. He then tells Bloom that he will end the live show for today but he will not put up with any more nonsense tomorrow. As the show comes back from commercial break, Ace psyches himself up to host it once again.

On stage, Ace announces to everyone that, while the Winx have not been able to find any new talent, they can do some serious moonwalking. Cliff claims that Ace is the real talent in the show as the audience applauds and chants Ace's name. Margot claims that Puff could dance better than the Winx and Puff starts dancing on her arm. Ace then announces that WOW will be ending there for the day and that they will be able to find out if the Winx can find new talent tomorrow.

Back in the sewers, Naoki figures out that there was a bug in his system but he claims that once he fixes it, the program should be back up in no time. Bloom tells Naoki that he will not need to do so as they are now free from the live show for the rest of the day. Aisha insists that the live show about making kids' dreams come true is only creating more problems than anything else they have been dealing with and that is when Flora gets another idea. She praises Aisha and then reminds that girls that Annabelle was kidnapped shortly after making her dreams come true by performing at the Frutti Music Bar. Naoki was also chased by the Crocodile Man as he wanted to be appreciated by everyone for his own talents and Naoki adds that his dreams later came true once he became a tour guide for the Museum of Science Fiction. Tecna goes off of Flora's suspicions and concludes that the Thief will only go after talents who are about to bloom. Naoki cheers over how he was able to avoid danger but Stella still does not understand why the creature went after Bloom this time. Bloom suspects that the Crocodile Man must have been after the watch in her pocket and Flora claims that the creature will get the watch if he wants is so badly. Stella asks if Flora is joking but Flora confirms that she is not in the slightest. She then explains that, with the watch, they will be able to lure the Crocodile Man into a trap where they will be able to catch him. Even if he escapes, however, their plan will still be a success. Bloom asks what Flora means by that last phrase and Flora claims that they will finally figure out how the strange watch really works. So that night, the girls begin to execute Flora's plan.

The Winx and Naoki are all gathered just outside of the Winxmobile as Bloom is seated in its driver's seat. Aisha warns Bloom to be careful and tells her to keep the watch safe with her. Bloom gives Aisha the thumbs-up and drives off, attracting the Crocodile Man, who is lurking just behind the vehicle in the shadows. Bloom continues to drive through New York with the Crocodile Man lurking not too far behind her at every turn, until the creature reveals himself by punching a manhole cover into the air, where he stands in front of the Winxmobile. Bloom picks up speed to ram the creature in but the Crocodile Man slips back into the sewers, leaving Bloom to almost swerve out of control. She manages to regain stability with the Winxmobile but soon has to dodge a manhole cover that was thrown by the Crocodile Man. Bloom braces for impact but the Crocodile Man darts out of the way, leaving her to speed off. She tries to look for any sign of the Crocodile Man but it turns out that the creature has climbed onto the Winxmobile! He slashes the tires which causes Bloom to force the Winxmobile into a nearby park. The vehicle ends up barreling down towards a river in the middle of the park but Bloom manages to stop it before it completely crashes, just stopping it at the edge of the river.

Bloom stumbles out of the Winxmobile, only to be attacked by the Crocodile Man. She drops the watch and the Crocodile Man reclaims it but is stopped by Flora. Soon enough, the rest of the Winx gather to surround the creature as Naoki hides behind a nearby tree. Naoki cheers for the girls to show the Crocodile Man how it is done and Bloom proclaims that the creature is now all Flora's. Flora uses her magic to bind down the creature with tree branches and it seems like their plan has succeeded! Aisha checks up on Bloom, who insists that she is fine thanks to Aisha's teachings, but the Crocodile Man breaks out of his bindings and attacks Flora and Musa! Bloom, Aisha and Tecna manage to dodge his next attack but the Crocodile Man goes directly after Bloom, chasing and attacking her through the park. Bloom hides behind a tree but is quickly chased away by the Crocodile Man. She regroups with the Winx and urges them all to concentrate so that they may access their special power.

The girls transform and begin to fight the Crocodile Man, starting with Flora blasting a flurry of leaves at him but to no avail. The Crocodile Man darts off somewhere and Flora uses her "Nature Sense" to detect where the creature has hidden himself. She manages to locate him and leads the charge towards the creature, who turns out to be hiding behind a tree. The Crocodile Man charges at the girls but is blasted back by a spell from Stella. The creature then flings rocks at them with his tail but Tecna manages to shield Bloom and Flora from every one of the rocks. The Crocodile Man tries to flee by swimming through the river but he is stopped by Aisha, who conjures up a giant fist made from the river water to attack him. The impact causes the Crocodile Man to be flung back onto land and seems to have been knocked out. Naoki cheers the Winx on until it turns out that the creature is awake. Naoki taunts the creature until he starts to chase after him. Flora tries to stop the Crocodile Man in his tracks but the vines she has conjured up are too weak. As she darts back towards land, the Crocodile Man uses the watch to open up a strange portal. Flora tries to stop him with one last vine but the creature is able to escape into the portal.

Aisha tells everyone that they can no longer track the Crocodile Man but Flora is certain that he will return, just not for Naoki. Naoki is a bit bummed out that the Winx no longer have to protect him but Flora assures him that he has been more help to them than he realizes. Aisha agrees, telling Naoki that he was very brave throughout the whole ordeal, and Stella adds that Naoki was even like their own superhero. Naoki nervously tries to compliment the Winx as well but he manages to confess that he found it to be really cool helping them out on their secret mission. He quickly remembers one more thing, pulls out a flashdrive from his pocket and hands it to Bloom. He says that he downloaded his game onto that flashdrive so that he could give it to them as a thank-you gift and Bloom thanks him for it. Suddenly, Naoki is given a big kiss on the cheek from Stella and can barely contain himself, which causes him to fall onto the ground.

Shortly afterwards, the girls have regrouped back inside the Winxmobile. Stella is frustrated with how close they were to catching the Talent Thief until Flora tells her not to worry as everything is still going according to plan. That is when Tecna reveals that, thanks to Flora, she installed a mini-radar onto the watch so that they would still be able to find it in case the creature had stolen it from Bloom. Aisha asks if Tecna's gadget is working this time and Tecna, after correcting Aisha, confirms that it is, meaning that she knows the Crocodile Man's whereabouts. Bloom asks where the Crocodile Man is then and Tecna's search reveals that he had escaped into the World of Dreams.

5- "Cercasi Stilista" ("Stylist Wanted")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

The Winx seem heavily worried over something back at their loft. Musa insists that what Bloom is about to do is too dangerous and the others agree, fearing that the Crocodile Man may end up capturing her. However, Bloom is not swayed by any of their arguments as they need answers fast and the only way to get those answers is by contacting Annabelle again. Aisha believes that they should all go to the World of Dreams but there is not enough sand to send them all. Tecna adds that there may not even be enough sand to allow Bloom to return from the World of Dreams but Bloom insists that they do not have any other choice as they have no time to simply sit around, waiting for another portal to open anywhere in the world. She tells her friends that she is ready and lies down on her bed, where Tecna pours the sand over her. As Bloom dozes off, Flora asks about how they will know if Bloom ends up in danger. Bloom believes that they will know when it happens and falls asleep.

Bloom wakes up in the World of Dreams and is quickly met by Annabelle, who runs towards her. She tries to hug Bloom only to find that she is in some sort of spirit-like state this time. Bloom reveals that she is only a dream this time around and Annabelle begins to cry about wanting to go back home. Bloom assures Annabelle that she and the Winx will save her but they will need her help on figuring out how to do so first. Annabelle tries to stop herself from crying and, when she seems calm, Bloom asks if Annabelle saw a half-man/half-crocodile creature when she was kidnapped. Annabelle says that she has not and Bloom asks if she saw anything like a strange watch. Annabelle confirms that she has and begins to remember the moment:

She had been rehearsing a song in her apartment when the doorbell rang. She was greeted by two of her friends until one of them points out a stranger escaping from her room through the window. Annabelle tried to chase after the stranger until she kicked over a strange watch-like device, picking it up and opening its lid.

Bloom notices that shadow creatures are approaching them and she urges for Annabelle to run. Annabelle runs off and one of the shadow creatures attacks Bloom.

Bloom wakes up in her bed and Tecna tells her that they had just enough sand left to bring her back. Bloom then reveals to the girls that she saw Annabelle and that Annabelle knows about the strange watch. She insists that they need to go back to her apartment right now but is interrupted by the sounding of the WOW theme song. The camera drones arrive and their TV turns on to WOW.

Ace greets the girls and demands to know where they will be headed to next since they did not find any talents last time. Bloom claims that they will not be going anywhere but Ace takes it as a joke. Stella tries to cover for Bloom by claiming that they are going somewhere that they cannot tell Ace of just yet because they want it to be a surprise. The rest of the Winx go along with this and Stella assures Ace that he and the audience will have to prepare to be "WOWed." Ace closes out the show before commercial break and storms backstage once they are off the air. Ace has had enough of Bloom acting out and is losing his patience with her.

Meanwhile, back with the Winx, they are driving in their Winxmobile. Stella calls Bloom out on almost blowing their cover and Bloom apologizes, admitting that she was being too impulsive. Though, she feels as if there is still a major clue somewhere at Annabelle's apartment and is frustrated with how they will be followed around by the camera drones. Tecna has been keeping an eye on her tablet and learns that the Crocodile Man has just left the World of Dreams. Stella realizes that this means he is on the hunt for a new talent trying to make their dreams come true and, suddenly, the Winx experience a vision that shows them images of Paris and a girl. Aisha is confident that the girl in their vision is the next talent and Stella proclaims that they just need to follow their new powers, naming it "Dreamix."

Bloom suddenly stops the Winxmobile as she is surprised and confused by this new name. Stella explains that since Bloom came up with the club's catchy name then she could have a shot at naming their new power. The girls all agree on the name and Stella expresses her excitement over the fact that they will be headed for Paris, the fashion capital of the world.

The Winx arrive at the Paris School of Fashion in search of the newest talent but, unknown to them, the Crocodile Man is lying in wait. The girls enter the building and are amazed with the decor, especially Stella, who even calls the school a "temple of fashion." She takes in all of the various designs that the girls passing by are wearing as the Winx watch, becoming embarrassed.

Three girls are exiting a room until one of them is stopped by a girl who makes sure that the giant stack of papers she is carrying is sent in triplicate. The girl, Nadine, promises Sophie that she will be right on it and leaves. As Nadine walks down the corridor, the Winx notice her manner of walking and Bloom even believes that she possesses a natural talent to model. Nadine places the papers down and walks away. Bloom tries to reach out to Nadine but is stopped by Stella, who believes that the talent they are looking for is just beyond the door across the hall. The Winx peek into the room and see a girl at work with her teacher watching.

The brunette named Sophie is unsatisfied with her design as it is not what she has been envisioning, but her teacher believes that it will still be a hit at the fashion show. Sophie thanks her teacher but she still cannot shake off the doubt she feels about her outfit. As her teacher leaves, Stella tries to take a picture of Sophie's outfit, only to be stopped by Sophie herself, who tells them that taking pictures is forbidden. Stella apologizes and formally introduces herself, telling Sophie that she thinks that her dress is beautiful. Sophie, on the other hand, is still troubled over her design. She notices a piece of lace fabric in a waste basket, takes it out and puts it onto her dress, but ends up thinking it look too severe. Stella ties the lace fabric onto the sleeve instead, which causes Sophie to laugh. She insults Stella by asking if she is from the last century but Stella quickly collects herself and tells Sophie that she is a talent scout on WOW. Sophie shrugs this off as she has never heard of the show but Stella is persistent. She explains that she and her friends travel the world in search of talent and this time, they think that Sophie has what it takes. She tries to give Sophie a business card but Sophie quickly gets annoyed and demands that Stella stop bothering her.

Meanwhile, on the set of WOW, Ace claims that the audience has taken a liking to Sophie as the show has just experienced a huge spike in ratings. He urges for the Winx to follow Sophie and persuade her to be on WOW. Bloom complies (reluctantly) and Ace urges them to "find that talent."

Back in Paris, the Winx follow Sophie to another building with the camera-drones right behind them. Sophie still does not understand why they keep following her and Stella claims that they just want to talk. She further claims that she can understand why Sophie acts the way she does but Sophie insists that Stella knows nothing about her. Stella explains that she knows how it feels whenever people are always watching her while expecting big things and Sophie agrees to talk with Stella about all of it, but only if she shows that she has style. Stella collects herself again and asks Sophie if she will listen to her and be on WOW if she can prove that she has style. Sophie mulls this over for a moment and repeats that Stella will have to prove herself first.

On WOW, Ace announces the start of the Couture Challenge, a fashion challenge between Stella and Sophie. He then asks for the judges' opinions, starting with Cliff. Cliff thinks that the challenge will be captivating but Margot on the other hand, thinks that the challenge is nothing more than a squabble between two amateurs. The Couture Challenge quickly begins with Stella and Sophie being given 15 minutes to come up with a fashionable design. Stella works with help from Bloom and Musa while Sophie gets help from Aisha and Flora. The 15 minutes go by quickly and the two manage to complete their Couture Challenge.

Flora twirls around in the outfit Sophie made to show it off to Stella and the others. Stella admires Sophie's unique design and Sophie feels the same way for Stella's design. Stella praises Sophie on a great design but Sophie still is not satisfied with it as she does not think of it as the dress of her dreams.

She goes on a rant about how she would have used different colors but her teachers would not approve of such methods until Stella stops her. She tells Sophie that she should lighten up and have fun. She asks if Sophie loves to make clothes and Sophie admits to loving it more than anything else. With an answer like that, Stella insists that Sophie should let herself go and let herself make the dress she loves.

Back on the set of WOW, Ace asks a member of the audience whether or not they think that Stella can help Sophie. The woman can barely contain herself and struggles to tell Ace that she thinks he is just great. Ace backs away from the woman to let the viewers at home know to stay tuned in in order to see if their talented stylist can help Sophie create a masterpiece.

Shortly afterwards, Sophie manages to create the dress of her dreams with Stella's help. Stella insists that Sophie was able to make such an outfit by herself because she was able to let herself go. Ace congratulates Sophie on her newest creation and asks her what its name will be. She declares that her newest line of clothes will be called Made in Paris and everyone applauds her. Just then, Bloom finds a flier on Sophie's desk and asks what it is. Sophie explains that it is a flier for the fashion show that will be held later that night and that the fashion show will officially open up Fashion Week in Paris. Ace decides that the fashion is where the WOW competition will be held and declares that WOW's six talent scouts will model Sophie's newest collection during the show. Bloom realizes that if they are all stuck modeling on-stage then it would leave Sophie exposed to the Talent Thief so she and Tecna try to convince Ace to let one of them stay behind. Ace interrupts Tecna in the middle of her request and goes back to hosting the show, telling the audience to stay tuned to see if Sophie will make it to the WOW Finals. At the same time, the Crocodile Man trudges through the sewers of Paris, getting himself ready for his moment to strike.

Night falls sooner than expected and the fashion show is moments away from starting. Various models are out posing the designs they are wearing as other fashion designers converse with one another. Inside the tent, Sophie and the Winx are getting themselves prepared. Tecna's Winx Watch starts beeping and she notifies Bloom that her tracker has just picked up the Crocodile Man's movements, but thanks to Ace, none of the girls will be close to Sophie throughout the whole fashion show. Stella assures Bloom and Tecna that she will be able to stay behind with Sophie and it will be easier to defend her since cameras are not allowed in the tent. The fashion show starts to begin and the Crocodile Man lies in wait inside the pool just under the catwalk.

The fashion begins and the Winx (excluding Stella) go out to model Sophie's Made in Paris collection for the public. Even the WOW camera-drones fly in for some footage! As the girls make it towards the end of the catwalk, it rumbles and the sprinklers around them go haywire for a moment. The crowd continues cheering as the five fairies begin to realize that the Crocodile Man may be making his move. They try to hurry the fashion show along but the catwalk shakes again for a moment.

Ace is happy with the results of the show but the girls become more wary the more the catwalk shakes. Bloom urges for them to stay on high alert as the sprinklers start spraying off course. Everyone else is either amazed or confused by the "additional effects," but Stella starts to suspect that something is wrong and advises for Sophie to stay close to her. It turns out that the Crocodile Man is breaking all of the pipes leading towards the show's sprinkler system. As the catwalk starts to become damaged by all of the water pressure, Sophie walks back to get away from it, but the Crocodile Man emerges from a nearby vent. Stella tries to protect Sophie, but she is swatted away by the Crocodile Man. With Stella out of the way, he rips through the tent and runs off with Sophie.

The Winx return to the tent and find a gaping hole in one of the walls. Stella manages to get out of the rack of clothes she was thrown into and tells the girls that she was unable to do anything. The Winx then begin to pursue the Crocodile Man.

They hop on and off of rooftops until they spot the Crocodile Man doing the same just up ahead. With the cameras still at the fashion show, the Winx go into their Dreamix and continue their pursuit for the Crocodile Man.

They quickly catch up and almost lose sight of the creature until Stella manages to catch sight of Sophie slung over the creature's back. The Crocodile Man lays Sophie down on one of the rooftops and goes on to face the Winx in battle. Bloom uses her magic to sap the Crocodile Man of his strength, leaving him open for the rest of the Winx to attack. Aisha launches a blast of bubbles at the creature, which knocks him to his feet. The Crocodile Man realizes that Bloom is making him weaker and charges towards her, only to be stopped by Flora's vines. He struggles to break free and manages to do so until Flora conjures up more vines to bind his legs. He breaks through those vines and charges at the Winx, only to be blown off of the rooftop by a shield of light from Stella. As he falls, the Crocodile Man uses the Magic Watch to open up a portal, allowing him to escape and break his fall.

Tecna fears that the Crocodile Man may be back in the World of Dreams but Stella is relieved that they were able to save Sophie. They rush back to where Sophie was laid to check on her. Sophie awakens unable to recognize where she is or what just happened. As Stella tells Sophie that she was almost kidnapped, Bloom begins to see something strange in Sophie but she cannot figure out what it is. She then promises to take Sophie back safely and the girls do just that.

Back at the fashion show, Sophie receives the applause from the audience as Ace gets ready to count the votes; to see if Sophie will be their next WOW finalist. The votes come in and the results show that Sophie has made it to the WOW Finals. The Winx walk on-stage to congratulate Sophie but Bloom still cannot help to find her to be acting strange. Suddenly, the Winx experience a vision of Sophie lost in the World of Dreams screaming for help. With the real Sophie seemingly trapped in the World of Dreams, the Winx are stuck having to figure out who the Sophie they rescued from the fight is.

6- "La Settimana della Moda" ("The Fashion Week")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

Shadows slither about in the World of Dreams as Sophie begins to panic and call for help.

Meanwhile, it is nighttime in Paris and the Paris School of Fashion is heavily guarded. The Winxmobile pulls of quietly behind a hedge and Flora and Musa exit the vehicle to stake out their surroundings. Once the coast is clear, the rest of the Winx begin to scale the hedge. They all manage to sneak passed the guard out front and successfully scale the walls of the School. The Winx gather on the roof of the school, where Bloom jumps down and lands on one of the ledges. She uses her magic to force one of the windows open and all six fairies successfully sneak into the building. Now that they have passed Stage One of their mission, Bloom urges for the girls to prepare for Stage Two. With all of the doors clear of any signs of danger, the girls change out of their spy outfits and until their outfits from Sophie's Made in Paris collection that they had underneath. The Winx then gather for one final briefing:

Their target this time is a creature that has taken shape to look like Sophie but is not the real Sophie. Aisha insists that they need to be on guard as this Sophie Double may be more dangerous than they had anticipated and Bloom declares that it is time to move.

As the girls make it down the stairs and towards a room in the center, Bloom reminds them to stay on high alert as they will be entering in pairs. She counts down from three and the Winx enter the room on one. It turns out that they have infiltrated Fashion Week's biggest event and Bloom suspects that their Sophie imposter will have to attend. Stella, however, is more excited that they crashed the biggest party in Paris. She stops Bloom to see two men in a crowd but Bloom thinks that their style is too excessive. Stella moves Bloom's head over to what she was really pointing at and explains that the people posing for the cameras are the protagonists of a drama called Tragic: The Last Sentimental Colossal.

As Musa walks through the crowd with Aisha, she quickly takes notice of all the celebrities attending and thinks that if Ace were to find out that they snuck into such a big event without the WOW cameras, he would go ballistic over missing such an opportunity. Just then, Aisha gets sight of the Sophie Double and reports to the others through her Winx Watch that the Double has been sighted under the chandelier.

Bloom tells everyone to spread out and close in one the Double, so she and Stella separate. As Bloom inches closer to the Double, their eyes meet! Bloom tries to avert her gaze to seem less suspicious but, when she turns back to look at the Double, she is gone! Bloom tries to catch up to the Sophie Double as she notifies Stella that the Double is headed in her direction. Stella searches for the Sophie Double after receiving Bloom's notice but the double crosses paths with an older-looking woman who catches Stella's interest. She approaches the older woman and recognizes her as an actress known as Spella McCarter. Stella claims that she is a huge fan of McCarter's and asks for an autograph, however, now that Stella is distracted, the Sophie Double is able to slip past her.

Stella tries to get a picture with McCarter but she is stopped by a security guard who carries her away from the actress.

Meanwhile, Bloom meets up with Tecna and tells her that she lost sight of the Sophie Double. Tecna proposes that they use a different perspective to find the Double and activates a small camera in the shape of a mechanical bee through her Winx Watch.

The bee camera flies above the crowd and quickly catches sight of the Sophie Double. Tecna reports to Bloom that the Double is passing through the caviar station and is headed towards the sushi bar, and Bloom notifies Tecna that she will try to cut her off. With a bit of quick footwork, Bloom manages to cut the Double off as she had planned and she lets the rest of the Winx know that she has found her. However, Bloom's focus is interrupted by a sudden call on her Winx Watch and so the Sophie Double uses that as a chance to slip away. Bloom answers the call and it turns out to be a call from Ace, who demands to know if Bloom and the girls are ready for tomorrow's show as he wants to open up the episode with a live feed of Fashion Week in Paris. Before Bloom can give an answer, an announcement of the start of Paris' Fashion Week blares over the intercom. Ace realizes that the Winx have snuck into the most exclusive party in the world but Bloom insists that it is only Ace overhearing their TV and hangs up on him.

The Parisian Fashion Week commences and models walk down the center of the room modeling various outfits. Aisha manages to break out of the crowd and spots the Sophie Double on the opposite side. In order to get across the runway, Aisha poses as a Parisian model, but the Sophie Double escapes her sights. Aisha notices that she is headed in Bloom's direction and notifies her. Bloom spots the Double climbing the stairs and notifies the girls of this as she tries to figure out what the Double could be planning to do up there.

Bloom climbs the stairs and is confronted by the Sophie Double, who proclaims that the Winx will not stop her from kidnapping the next talent. Bloom puts her guard up but she is still shocked to see the Sophie Double transform into a shadow monster. The shadow monster attacks Bloom but Bloom is able to evade it. In order to escape, Bloom jumps down the ledge and ends up landing onto a giant cake made for the party, causing her to humiliate herself in front of everyone there.

Stella rushes up to see if Bloom is alright but Bloom insists that they can talk about it later. Stella encourages Bloom to just smile and wave at the cameras as if nothing happened but, by tomorrow, Bloom becomes the newest global laughingstock known as the "Cake Girl." The girls cannot even walk down the streets without someone laughing at her!

As they continue their walk, Bloom visibly becomes more and more humiliated. One of the drones flies up to Bloom, where Ace ridicules her for embarrassing the staff back at WOW back at the party.

In his dressing room, Ace asks if Bloom is trying to ruin his show on purpose but whenever he tries to explain the consequences, he is interrupted by his two makeup artists. WOW begins soon enough and Ace rushes out to begin the show. There, he invites his audience to check in with their six talent scouts who are currently on the search for new talent. Aisha drives the Winxmobile through Paris as Bloom reminds the girls of last night's events:

Sophie was kidnapped and they pursued her captor in an attempt to save her. Stella adds that they thought they had saved the real Sophie but it turns out that it was an imposter. Bloom points out that the imposter did not have her own shadow either and Flora reminds them that the real Sophie had somehow gotten herself trapped in the World of Dreams. Tecna asks who the Sophie Double is then and Bloom reveals that she was a shadow monster as she had tried to attack her during the party. Aisha concludes that if the shadow monster was able to take Sophie's appearance, then it will try to hunt for the next talent back at the School of Fashion.

At the Paris School of Fashion, Aisha urges for the camera-drones to follow them as they conduct their research concerning the next talent. Ace asks if Aisha can tell them where their research is going to start from and Aisha reveals that they will be asking Sophie as they believe that there may be other talents hidden around her. Ace urges for Aisha's group to stay connected as he cuts to the drones with Bloom.

Bloom notices Nadine again and remembers that she has seen her once before. After taking a moment to remember when she saw her exactly, Bloom approaches Nadine. Nadine asks if she knows Bloom and Bloom reveals that she caught sight of Nadine at the School of Fashion carrying stacks of paper. Nadine remembers that she has also seen Bloom before and realizes that she's the girl who fell on the cake last night. Stella tries to make Bloom's humiliation sound like an impressive feat until Bloom stomps on her foot to get her to stop. Bloom then tells Nadine that they think she would make a great model and Tecna reveals that they work for the show called WOW. Stella adds that they think Nadine possesses a natural talent in modeling and Nadine confesses that becoming a model would be like making her dreams come true. Just then, the Winx experience a brief vision of Paris, the School of Fashion and Nadine. That is when Nadine confesses that she has never modeled before and has never attended any sort of fashion or modeling school. Bloom insists that Nadine will never be able to know how good she is if she does not give it a try and Stella chime, claiming that Nadine could even model on the catwalk wearing a chandelier. Before she becomes too reluctant, Bloom drags her over to give it a try.

In another room, it turns out that Stella and Bloom had Nadine fitted in a chandelier dress! They encourage Nadine to try her hardest but she is struggling to walk right in the odd dress. Bloom advises for Nadine to relax and not worry about the dress but to make herself part of it. Nadine gives it another go but Bloom and Stella still find her being too stiff. Stella tells her to stop thinking about it too hard and to have fun modeling as catwalking should be an expression of happiness; her happiness. Nadine give it one more try and does much better. Bloom and Stella cheer Nadine on as, unbeknownst to them, the Sophie Double is watching.

On WOW, Ace asks for the judges opinions on Nadine, starting with Cliff. Cliff can barely keep himself from crying as he finds Nadine to be so lovely, beautiful and elegant that it moves him to tears. As usual, Margot believes that her dog, Puff has more talent than Nadine. With one vote for Nadine and one vote against her, Ace decides to check back in with the Winx.

With the camera-drones occupied with Nadine, the girls huddle up to discuss about the Sophie Double, whom they could not find anywhere. Just then, a security guard approaches Nadine and tells her that Sophie has chosen her to be her model and needs her at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Nadine is excited to have been given such an opportunity and the Winx try to come with her but are stopped before they can do so as the photoshoot is invitation-only. Nadine thanks the girls for all of their help and asks for them to wish her luck as she heads for the Eiffel Tower with the security guard. Aisha asks if she should take the guard out but Flora reminds her that they cannot because the drones are still filming them. Ace urges for the Winx to follow Nadine and Bloom confirms that they will but without the drones. Ace does not understand Bloom's request, believing that a reality show cannot exists without cameras, but Bloom firmly tells Ace that she is drawing the line now and clarifies that she and the Winx will go look for Nadine while the drones stay in the School. With the audience left confused by this turn of events, Ace cuts the show short for a commercial break.

A short while later, the girls park the Winxmobile just in the Eiffel Tower's line of sight. Bloom urges for them all to transform and fly onto the terrace where the photoshoot should be. The Winx all go into their Dreamix and fly up onto the terrace at the top of the Eiffel Tower, where they find a barely conscious Nadine getting golden sand sprinkled on her by the Sophie Double and the security guard. The portal behind Nadine's attackers disappears as Stella declares that they will not allow them to kidnap Nadine like how they kidnapped the real Sophie. The Double claims that they cannot be stopped but Aisha is confident that they can prove them wrong. As the Double approaches the Winx, she proclaims that they will be able to kidnap Nadine and every other talent that pops up as they are everywhere. Bloom urges for the rest of the Winx to get ready as the Sophie Double and the security guard reveal themselves to be shadow monsters and begin to attack.

Aisha attacks one of the shadows with a bubble blast and Bloom attacks the other with a spark of fire. Tecna uses this chance to trap one of the shadows in a digital cage but it is able to slip out. Flora tries to bind the other shadow with her vines but it is also able to slip free. The two shadows then fuse together and attack the Winx as one larger shadow monster, blowing Flora and Stella away with just a roar! Tecna quickly realizes that their magic is ineffective to the shadow fusion but Bloom gets the idea to shine light onto the fusion as a way to defeat it. Stella uses all of the lights hooked up to the Tower and shines them on the shadow fusion. She then amplifies the light onto it which causes it to shrink until it shrivels up and disperses. Stella's control over the Eiffel Tower's lights also make it seem as if there is a light show going on to the nearby public. Even the WOW cameras catch the "light show" from just outside the Tower.

Once the shadow fusion has been destroyed, the girls rush to Nadine's side. Nadine wakes up without any recollection of what happened or where she is. Bloom tells her that there was supposed to be a photoshoot and Nadine asks if it had gotten canceled. Bloom claims that the shoot is still on but Nadine believes that she does not have a dress ready for it and wants to know where Sophie is. Stella assures her that she will be fine as they can just ask SuperSue for an outfit and it will be draped over her shoulders within a few seconds.

Soon enough, Stella is able to make a dress for Nadine to model for WOW. Ace encourages his audience to cast their votes to see whether Nadine is Wow! or Out and once all of the votes have been casted, Nadine is found to be the next WOW finalist! The Winx congratulate Nadine on making it to the WOW Finals until Bloom's Winx Watch starts beeping. She finds that Ace needs them back at the set to participate in a surprise contest of theirs as a way of apologizing for ditching the drones earlier.

Later that night, the girls return to the WOW set as they were told and the audience cheers them on as they make their appearance. Once the six fairies have gathered, Ace reveals that they will have to showcase how talented they really are and "hopes" that things do not become too embarrassing for them.

The contest starts with Flora dancing but she quickly becomes shy and tries to hide her face. Musa tries baking a pie but it end up getting burned and smoke quickly fills the room. Aisha has to act but she mixes up one of the lines. Tecna has to try painting but is not very successful. Stella tries to tell a joke about how she "discovered" America but the audience does not find the joke all that funny. Lastly, Bloom will have to sing for everyone and Ace advises for the audience to get their earplugs ready. However, Bloom sings a short song and does so surprisingly well, which causes the crowd to go wild. Her singing even gets her a round of applause from Margot! Ace comes up on stage to declare Bloom as the winner of the contest and as she takes the applause in, Bloom notices a man with red glowing eyes from off-stage. Suspecting that this man is a shadow monster in disguise, Bloom uses her magic to shine one of the stage lights onto him, causing him to retreat back into the shadows of the set. Bloom tries to go after the disguised shadow monster but she knocks Ace over and accidentally reveals that he has been wearing a wig this whole time!

The audience laughs at Ace as he realizes what had just happened. The judges and assistant sneak a few laughs in as Ace directs his anger onto Bloom. The two makeup artists hand him his wig back and he promptly slaps it back onto his head, unable to contain his rage. Bloom tries to apologize but instead, Ace has her fired off of the show.

7- "Cuochi in Gara" ("The Chef Contest")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

It is evening in the city where Tony, the owner of Tony's Restaurant, is scolding one of his workers for messing up a simple order. Tony tries to tell his young worker that every customer comes into their restaurant with a dream and that it is the chefs' job to make that dream come true. The young worker, named Vincenzo, claims that Tony's customers do not know real art when they see it but Tony scolds Vincenzo even more as his restaurant is not meant to be anything like a museum. Before he gets too riled up, Tony tells Vincenzo that he will be entering the Cooking Challenge at the Botanical Garden tomorrow representing his restaurant. Vincenzo is glad to hear that his talents will be recognized until Tony warns him that if he were to lose, then he should not bother coming back. However, Vincenzo plans on leaving Tony's Restaurant even if he wins.

At the Winx's Loft, the girls still cannot get over what happened last night but, little do they know is that Evans and Gómez are listening in on their conversation from their car nearby. The two detectives hear Stella claiming that talking about kidnappings before breakfast makes her nervous and Gómez proposes that they burst into the loft and arrest the girls as he believes that it would be the easiest case of theirs. However, Evans thinks that it may become their last case unless they are able to get their hands on some sort of confession. Gómez then stops Evans as he thinks that he is picking up on something but the two seem to pick up on a commercial for migraine pills.

It turns out that the commercial they heard was from the Winx's TV due to Tecna rapidly changing the channel. Meanwhile, Stella is trying to straighten out a picture on the wall behind the TV. Her moving the painting causes the bug Evans and Gómez had placed to fall onto the floor and break, leaving the two detectives frustrated that their bug had been found.

Tecna continues to flip through channels as Aisha skates through the living room on her rollerblades. Tecna points out that Ace is two minutes and thirty seconds late and Aisha continues to angrily skate around as she hates waiting. Musa notices that Bloom is upset and hugs her as she tells her that she is going to hate having to do the show without her. Bloom tells the girls that while she will miss them a lot, there is still a bright side to all of this. Stella asks about this "bright side" and Bloom pulls out her tablet to finish a sketch of the Magic Watch. Now that she is no longer on WOW, she will have plenty of time to look for the device. Aisha asks if Bloom's drawing is supposed to be one of the watch in Annabelle's apartment and Bloom confirms this as she believes that it may belong to her kidnapper. Bloom reminds that girls that they will be able to enter the World of Dreams with that watch and rescue all of the kidnapped talents but Aisha believes that it would be too dangerous for Bloom to look for the watch on her own. Bloom tries to assure Aisha that she will call the Winx if it gets too dangerous but she is interrupted by their doorbell ringing. The doorbell causes the camera-drones to activate so Bloom rushes for the door to answer it, only to be pushed aside by a cloaked figure opening the door herself. As the girls try to figure out what is going on, WOW suddenly begins. Ace does his usual introductions as the camera-drones circle around the cloaked figure.

The figure stops in the middle of the room and removes her cloak, revealing herself to be a blonde woman. Ace dashes around the audience to ask them who the new mysterious girl is and if they want to find out who she is. The audience continues to cheer as Ace rushes back to the center of the stage to tell everyone of the new girl and introduces her as Lorelei, the newest talent scout. Lorelei poses in front of all of the camera-drones and hugs Flora and Tecna as thanks for "welcoming her" so quickly. The Winx are still confused by all of this and Lorelei charges towards Stella to pose with her. As she tells Stella that their fans will love this new change to the show, she points out a pimple on Stella's face, which causes her to fly into a panic. Lorelei then goes for Aisha but she skates around the room to avoid her so Lorelei clings to Musa instead. Ace acts moved by how the Winx have already "accepted" Lorelei into the heart of their club and Lorelei excitedly moves to the middle of the room calling everyone "Wow!" However, when she gets to Bloom, Lorelei is unimpressed by the fact that she is still around and walks off after deeming Bloom to be unimportant. She goes back to the camera-drones to ask if the fans want to see her dance again and Aisha rolls up her sleeves to stop her. However, she is pulled back by Bloom who insists that the show must go on.

Suddenly, the girls experience a brief vision of the city, the city gardens and Vincenzo. Afterwards, Bloom asks if they also saw a man in their vision and Flora suspects that he may be the next talent who is about to realize his dreams. Tecna tells Bloom that they will go meet up wit hthis new talent and Bloom decides to go after the watch like she had originally planned. Musa and the girls wish Bloom good luck and Ace asks the audience if they will miss Bloom, only to quickly dismiss this by telling them to try and enjoy Lorelei's company as she and the Winx go on to find talent. He then asks the Winx where they will be headed today and Tecna reveals that their search will have them remain in Gardenia.

And so, the remaining Winx and Lorelei hop into the Winxmobile to head for their destination. Gómez catches their van driving off and reports to Evans that he plans on following them. As the girls drive through the streets of Gardenia, Gómez is able to hear their conversations as he follows them from afar.

Meanwhile, Bloom is beginning her search but as she walks around, she feels as if she is being followed. After a quick glance behind her back, Bloom tries running off in order to shake her supposed pursuer. It turns out that this pursuer of hers is Evans.

As Aisha continues to drive the Winxmobile, Lorelei finds herself to be amazed by how high-tech it is. Musa tries to cancel out Lorelei's voice by putting on headphones as Lorelei starts to touch things around their vehicle; starting with the touchscreen table. Photos of Annabelle, Naoki and Sophie pop up as she asks the Winx if they are the talents that they have previously scouted. Suddenly, a picture of the Crocodile Man pops up and scares Lorelei. She asks what the monster is supposed to be until Tecna cancels out all of the pictures, insisting that it was some interference. Aisha notifies the girls that they are approaching the talent and Lorelei rushes up to the driver's seat to ask if she can drive. Aisha refuses to let her drive so Lorelei asks if she can turn on the radio instead, to which Aisha also denies her. She then makes a hard turn that causes Lorelei to fall over. Instead, Lorelei decides to sing and does so very poorly that even causing Musa to become visibly upset.

Meanwhile, with Bloom, she is trying to make various turns through alleyways in an attempt to shake off whoever is following her. However, Evans is just as persistent and keeps on her tail.

Back with the Winx, Lorelei had just finished her poor singing and Aisha parks the Winxmobile in a parking lot just outside of the city park. Lorelei tries to figure out where they are until Flora reveals that they have just arrived at Gardenia's Botanical Garden. As the Cooking Challenge is still being prepared, the Winx and Lorelei make their way down to the audience seats.

Back with Bloom, she has just changed into her spy suit and looks back to see if her pursuer is still around. She notices a shadow just outside the alleyway and runs off in the other direction. Evans catches this and decides to take a look but she instead finds a box with folded up clothes inside. Confused, Evans decides to continue after Bloom and gives chase.

Back at the Botanical Garden, it seems that the Cooking Challenge is just underway. One of the judges stands up to welcome everyone who came to the Garden on behalf of the Club of Food Critics. The Winx and Lorelei arrive just behind the crowd and are instantly spotted by one of the judges who recognizes them as WOW's talent scouts. As Lorelei flaunts herself around, Aisha explains that they have arrived in search of new talent. The judge directs them to three of their promising contestants: Aki Abe representing the Japanese restaurant known as Ninjin, Diego Rio representing the Mexican restaurant known as Gracias, and Vincenzo representing Tony's Italian Restaurant. As Vincenzo is introduced, the Winx reaffirm that he is the talent they are looking for which leaves Lorelei even more out of the loop.

Vincenzo insists that he is competing for himself and not Tony's Restaurant which obviously enrages Tony, who is watching from the back of the crowd. The judge gathers himself to explain that the chefs will have to prepare dishes for the Club of Critics to judge and Ace announces this competition to his audience on WOW. He then asks for the judges' opinions, starting with Cliff, who believes that cooking is a very talented art even if the talent seems somewhat limited. Meanwhile Margot believes that Vincenzo has the attitude of a winner. Lorelei and Stella fight to be the main focus of the camera-drones until Stella reveals that they will be working alongside the three chefs as their assistants. Ace then announces that the chefs and assistants are already at work and has the camera-drones get some footage.

Aki hands Musa and Aisha a knife and a root of wasabi as she asks them to cut them into thin slices for her. Aisha clops the root quickly and wildly whereas Musa slowly slices her root very thinly. She catches sight of Aisha's mad chopping and reminds her that Aki needs thin slices, however, Aisha thinks that Musa is slicing too slowly.

Stella and Lorelei are supposed to be helping Diego Rio with his dish but are too busy fighting amongst themselves. The two of them tug on a pan until both lose their grip, causing pan to fly upwards and the contents of the pan spill onto Diego's face.

Flora tries to introduce herself to Vincenzo but Vincenzo is certain that he will not need their help as he thinks he is capable of making cabbage with coffee cream even with his eyes closed. Tecna and Flora watch on in disappointment as Vincenzo submits a dish that Tecna believes was over-exaggerated and inedible. To make matter worse, it seems as if Vincenzo does not seem to care if his dish tastes bad or not. Aki and Diego submit their dishes as well and the tasting portion of the Challenge begins. The judges taste each dish and when it is time to vote, two of the judges vote for Aki and one of them vote for Diego, leaving Vincenzo with no points. Frustrated, Vincenzo shouts at the camera-drones about how none of them know anything about cooking, which leaves everyone on the set of WOW to wonder if the Winx have found a talent or an actual failure.

Vincenzo storms off from the Challenge as he swats the camera-drones away. Flora and Tecna chase after him, still offering to help, but Vincenzo is still convinced that he does not need any. Tecna thinks otherwise and pulls out her tablet to reveal that on the Cook Adviser website, Vincenzo has the worst reviews in all of Gardenia. Flora explains that it is not just the competition he risks losing but also his dreams. However, Vincenzo believes that he knows what he is doing and that his dish was perfect in style. Flora secretly uses her magic to conjure up Vincenzo's dish and hands it to him to see if he still thinks that way after tasting it. So Vincenzo takes a bite and realizes that his dish was not so perfect after all.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, Bloom is running through alleyways until she comes across a dead-end. Using her magical grappling gloves, Bloom scales the wall of one of the buildings and maneuvers onto a higher ledge. There, she notices that Evans has been the one pursuing her all day.

Back at the Botanical Gardens, the Winx and Lorelei continue to assist their respective chefs. For the second round, Vincenzo wants to make 30-Flavor Spaghetti but Tecna suggests that he find a simpler recipe as 30 flavors is way too many to fit into one dish. Flora reminds Vincenzo that he should not forget about the complexity of each ingredient nor should he forget how they make him feel, but Vincenzo is still having a hard time understand both of them. Tecna pushes all of the other ingredients aside and hands Vincenzo a zucchini and a tomato as she tells him to only use two prime ingredients and nothing more. She then pulls up a liquid nitrogen cooler and insists that cooking with cold is a very innovative cooking method. A short while later, Vincenzo manages to cook his 2-Flavor Spaghetti. Tecna asks how he feels now that he has listened to his assistants and Vincenzo claims to be feeling nervous. Ace asks what the WOW judges think about Vincenzo only using two ingredients starting with Cliff. Cliff thinks that Vincenzo will succeed so long as he continues to listen to his assistants and Margot on the other hand, thinks that the only thing Vincenzo will succeed in is making everyone fall asleep.

The tasting portion of the Challenge begins and each judge takes a bite of each dish. Two of the judges vote for Aki while one of them votes for Vincenzo, leaving them all at a total of 4 for Aki, 1 for Diego and 1 for Vincenzo.

Before the next round can begin, Flora drags Vincenzo over to remind him that his dishes will not be able to reach their full potential if he does not understand how they make him feel. She takes a few strawberries and hands them to Vincenzo as she encourages him to taste one with his eyes closed. Vincenzo eats one and the taste reminds him of the sun, the breeze and the treats he used to eat when he was little. With an answer like that, Flora believes that Vincenzo is ready for his next recipe, which turns out to be artichokes stuffed with vegetable pudding.

Flora is impressed with Vincenzo as she believes that he has outdone himself this time. Along with Vincenzo's stuffed artichokes, Diego submits a dish that ended up burnt and Aki submits a fried shrimp skyscraper. The judges taste each of the dishes and two of them vote for Vincenzo as one votes for Aki, leaving them all at a total of 5 for Aki, 1 for Diego and 3 for Vincenzo. With only one point going into the final round, Diego Rio is disqualified from the Cooking Challenge. As Diego is being pushed off of the stage, his mustache almost falls off.

In other part of the city, Evans is left in the dead-end alleyway wondering how and where Bloom disappeared to. She gets a call from Gómez, who tells her that he has been eliminated from the Cooking Challenge, leaving Evans to feel as if she has to do all the work on her own. Evans eventually leaves the alleyway as Bloom watches from the top floor of a nearby building. Once she is gone, Bloom realizes that she has made it to her destination: Annabelle's apartment, and uses her magic to allow her to sneak inside without making a sound.

Once inside, Bloom searches all around the room but is not having any luck with finding the watch. Little does she know is that she is being watched by someone hiding in Annabelle's closet. Frustrated with not being able to find anything, Bloom decides to contact the Winx with her Winx Watch.

Back at the Botanical Gardens, Stella picks up Bloom's call and asks if she has any good news. Bloom reveals that there was no Magic Watch at Annabelle's apartment and asks Stella how everything is going with the newest talent. Stella claims that they are having a bit of a problem and it turns out that Flora and Tecna are arguing over which method of cooking Vincenzo should use for the final round. As the two fairies continue to bicker amongst themselves, Vincenzo looks to Tony in the crowd, who gives him a thumbs up. Remembering what Tony had told him, Vincenzo goes to work on his final recipe: special rainbow ice cream.

Ace asks the WOW judges on whether they think Vincenzo is either Wow! or Out, starting with Cliff who finds Vincenzo to be Wow! across the board and thinks that he makes a stellar chef. Margot on the other hand, thinks that Vincenzo should be Out of the competition.

The final tasting portion of the Cooking Challenge commences and each judge has a taste of Vincenzo and Aki's deserts, ending with all three of the judges voting for Vincenzo which gives him the victory!

The Winx gather for a group hug to congratulate Vincenzo as Tecna and Flora praise him. Once they all break out of the hug, Vincenzo finds that Tony had climbed on-stage. He admits to Tony that he was proud to represent his restaurant and hopes that he can continue to learn more from him. Tony hugs Vincenzo and accepts to keep him as a student as he admits to being proud of Vincenzo. Vincenzo has also become the newest finalist of WOW as well as coming out victorious in the Cooking Challenge!

Later that night, Vincenzo gives Flora and Tecna his recipe for rainbow ice cream as thanks for helping him realize what he had been missing: the chance to make others happy with his cooking.

Back at Annabelle's apartment, Bloom is trying to figure out what to do next. That is until a mysterious man dashes out from Annabelle's closet and leaps out of the window Bloom used to get in. Bloom tries to stop the mystery man but he continues to run off. With no other options, Bloom goes into her Dreamix form and flies after the mystery man. Bloom almost loses sight of the mystery man until she catches sight of him kicking over a water tower. The water tower plummets towards a woman and her two kids, so Bloom promptly uses her magic to vaporize the water before it can fall onto the small family. Unfortunately, this gave the mystery man enough time to get away.

Shortly afterwards, Bloom makes her way out of the alleyway she had first entered but is stopped by Evans, who needs to take her in for questioning. Gómez arrives in their car where Bloom and Evans get inside and he drives off. The mysterious man from earlier watches on with a sly grin on his face before lurching back into the shadows.

8- "Lo Sciamano" ("The Shaman")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

In the Gardenia Police Station, Evans tries to get Bloom to tell her everything she knows about Annabelle. Bloom tells Evans that Annabelle is her friend and that she and her friends decided to help her out around the café one day. She tried to find Annabelle by going to her apartment last night but she was not there. Evans grows increasingly annoyed with Gómez loudly eating a donut and slams her hand down on the table to get him to stop. Once Gómez had put the donut down, Evans points out that Annabelle disappeared right after Bloom and her friends had shown up to the scene of her disappearance. Bloom asks if Evans does not believe in coincidences and Evans clarifies that she does not believe in lies.

As Gómez takes the donut back, Evans approaches a desk, pulls out a plastic bag from it and shows the plastic bag to Bloom, asking if she has seen an object just like it. Bloom claims that she has not seen the watch anywhere else and Evans reveals that Annabelle had reported a break-in just hours before her disappearance. Apparently a strange man had lost the watch in her apartment while fleeing and Annabelle had brought it into the Police Station afterwards.

Just then, Gómez asks to see Bloom's hands and has her place it onto a tablet. The tablet runs an analysis of Bloom's fingerprints and none of them match the ones found on the watch. Bloom asks if this means she can leave now and Evans grants her permission to do so but warns her that they will be running into each other soon.

Back at the Winx Loft, Aisha insists that they need to get their hands on that Magic Watch. Tecna tries to correct her but Aisha clarifies that the watch is the only thing that will allow them to enter the World of Dreams and rescue Annabelle. Bloom is sketching a picture of the mystery man from last night on her tablet and wonders whether he could be the real Talent Thief or not. She saves the sketches, magically shrinks her tablet, and proclaims that she has decided that she will be the one who worries about retrieving the Magic Watch. As Bloom leaves, she assures the Winx that she already has someone in mind who can help her, but she is stopped by Stella. Stella is frustrated with Bloom wanting to work alone as she feels that she no longer trusts them enough and she asks Bloom if they are not a group anymore. Bloom clarifies that she has an easier time getting around now that she is no longer on WOW and Tecna agrees, explaining to Stella that they can focus on finding and protecting new talents. At the same time, Tecna's Winx Watch begins to go off. Tecna answers her Winx Watch and tells the girls that the show is about to begin in just a few seconds. Stella does a few poses as she asks how she looks and Flora tells Bloom to leave as Ace cannot see her still with them. Bloom leaves as she tells the girls to have fun and to stay in touch with her. Once she leaves, WOW starts right on time.

Ace does his usual introductions and introduces the Winx. After being greeted by Stella, Ace reveals that they have a big surprise planned for the Winx and hints for them to check the Winxmobile. Aisha thinks that it may be a ticket but Ace laughs this off and reveals the surprise to be Lorelei waiting for them.

Aisha shoves Lorelei out of the way and climbs into the driver's seat. Lorelei quickly picks herself up and greets both the audience at WOW and the Winx. She then goes on about her many "talents" until Stella asks if she is also talented at disappearing.

A while later, the Winxmobile drives away from the loft, which gives Bloom a chance to begin her search for the Magic Watch. However, Evans and Gómez pull up from behind the loft and follow Bloom into the city.

Back with the Winx, Aisha is driving the Winxmobile through the streets of Gardenia as Lorelei marvels at the inside of it once more. She asks the Winx what they think but is unable to get much of a response from them. She then starts pushing buttons on the dashboard which causes some music to play terribly loudly and almost causes Aisha to get into an accident. She slams on the button Lorelei had pushed a moment ago and warns her not to ever do it again. Instead, Lorelei moves to the back of the Winxmobile to tamper with the electronic table which visibly annoys the Winx. Lorelei comments on how bizarre their van is and diverts her attention to a door just behind the driver's seat. Stella insists that it is a secret and confronts Lorelei over how nosy she is being. She then asks Aisha where they are headed until Aisha reminds her that they are waiting for "inspiration" to hit. That is when Lorelei proposes that they play a game to see who can count the most cars that pass by which confuses the Winx. However, Lorelei herself could not even get past counting four cars without getting bored again and asks the Winx what they should do now. Meanwhile, Bloom has made it to the Frutti Music Bar where she converses with Roxy. She tells Roxy that she will be needing her help and warns her of Evans and Gómez, as they may need to keep an open eye out for the two detectives. She then reveals that the two detectives have put themselves in danger as they are in possession of a watch that belongs to a supernatural creature. Roxy assumes that this creature would like to get its watch back and Bloom confirms this while adding in that the Watch would allow them to free all of the talents imprisoned in the World of Dreams. Roxy remarks on how none of it sounds easy and Bloom confesses that it is for that very reason that she came seeking her help.

Suddenly, Roxy's eyes light up and she sees Evans and Gómez exiting their car that is parked just outside of the Bar through the eyes of her dog, Arthur. Roxy notifies Bloom of this as Arthur continues to watch the two detectives.

Just outside, Gómez complains over how they only have a weird watch as their only lead despite days of investigation but Evans advises him to be careful as the watch is still a delicate piece of evidence. Gómez, however, feels like they could be using their time in better ways like going out for dinner. This suggestion greatly annoys Evans but Gómez does not know what he did or said wrong and simply adds that he would have paid for dinner if they went. Evans promptly storms into the Frutti Music Bar as Gómez runs after her and when the two are inside, they take a seat at a table near the front door to look around. Bloom turns her back towards the pair of detectives as Roxy warns her to keep her back turned now that they have just sat down. Bloom realizes that Evans and Gómez had followed her as she and Roxy try to keep an eye on them. That is when Roxy gets an idea and as a way to buy them some time, has Arthur run off with their car keys. Evans and Gómez promptly chase after the hound as Bloom and Roxy laugh to themselves. Bloom tries to thank Roxy until she is interrupted by a sudden vision that the rest of the Winx also experience. Like all of the others, the vision is a brief succession of images; this time, images of a place far east, an ornate temple and a fierce-eyed girl. Once it is over, Bloom tells Roxy that she needs to leave and confesses that she is counting on her to keep the detectives busy. Roxy assures Bloom that she can handle it and wishes her luck before she leaves.

Back at the Winxmobile, Aisha gets a call from Bloom through her Winx Watch where she confirms that she also saw the next talent in their Dreamix vision. The two end their call just as Lorelei leaps next to Aisha claiming that she heard someone mention the word "talent." Aisha praises Lorelei on her excellent hearing and Lorelei (after revelling in the praise for a bit) asks where the next talent is. That is when Aisha reveals that they will be traveling to Beijing to Lorelei as well as everyone watching on the WOW set. Ace announces this to the rest of the audience and remarks on how the long wait was is now finally paying off for them.

In Beijing, just outside of some sort of temple, a blonde-haired girl and a feathery-haired man partake in a duel. It seems like the blonde has the upper hand in the duel, but in the end, the feathery-haired man is able to deceive her and levitate her out of the ring, making him the victor. Afterwards, a familiar girl with her, her bound in a bun flips into the ring and proclaims that she is ready to make her dreams come true.

The Winx and Lorelei arrive in Beijing and make their way around a park area attracting plenty of attention as they pass by. As they continue to walk in silence, Lorelei expresses her frustration over how she is still clueless about the newest talent. Stella confronts her for being nosy again and the two of them start to butt heads until a young man asks if they are from WOW. The two of them confirm this and the man asks if he can take a picture of them, which inadvertently leads to Stella and Lorelei fighting over his camera. Their little squabble is then interrupted by Aisha who reveals that they have just arrived at the Light Tiger Palace; the heart of Beijing. As the girls continue inside the Palace, Aisha explains that it also houses the largest gathering of martial artists in the world.

The Winx and Lorelei settle themselves into a nearby crowd that seems to be eagerly awaiting an upcoming match. As they wait, Musa notices Bloom in the opposite end of the crowd. Just then, an old man steps into the ring to announce the combatants for the semifinal rounds: a hulking brute named Torvald, an agile woman named Kalima, the urban Shaman and Yu, the girl that the Winx saw in their Dreamix vision. A young man bangs on the gong which signals the start of the semifinals; the start of Yu and Torvald's match.

The two bow respectfully towards each other and begin their match. Torvald tries a rapid succession of attacks on Yu but she dodges all of them and even manages to land a kick on Torvald. Enraged, Torvald lunges at Yu with the same succession of palm-attacks but Yu dodges them all once again and also manages to trip the hulking brute. Torvald picks himself up and charges at Yu again but Yu leaps over him and onto the other end of the ring. She then blocks more of Torvald's attacks and kicks him square in the face, knocking him out and winning the match.

Everyone on the set of WOW was also watching and Ace asks the judges what they thought of Yu's match, starting with Margot, who thinks that Yu would be a gorgeous girl if she tried to be the least bit feminine. Ace then asks Cliff of his opinions and Cliff finds Yu to be simply divine.

Back at the Light Tiger Palace, Bloom walks around the back of the crowd as Lorelei praises Yu on her skills. The old man tells Lorelei that she cannot be in the ring but Lorelei simply moves to Yu's other side and asks her for some tips on how to improve her martial arts skills as she wants to defend herself against "intrusive fans." It does not take long until Lorelei ends up being dragged out of the Palace with the camera-drones in tow. This ends up working in favor for the Winx as they are now free to act as they want without having to worry about being seen.

Aisha takes this opportunity to introduce herself to Yu. Yu is immediately intrigued by being on WOW as Aisha claims that, as a talent scout, she wishes for Yu to perform on the show as she believes that Yu is an incredible fighter. Yu, on the other hand, believes that Aisha has yet to see her at her best but she can do so when she sees her fight in the final round.

In the crowd, Flora asks Bloom if she has any updates through her Winx Watch and unfortunately, Bloom does not see any suspicious individuals in the crowd.

Yu tries to excuse herself as she needs to still prepare for the final round but Aisha stops her to ask if she truly does want to win the competition. Yu takes offense to this as this is something she had been training for for her whole life and Aisha further explains that she and her friends believe that Yu may be being targeted by someone. Yu tries to get the full story out of Aisha but the gong rings, signalling the beginning of the second semifinal round. All Aisha can tell Yu is to trust her but Yu still does not like what she is trying to say. That is when Flora steps in to warn Aisha that she is just going to end up scaring her off and wishes Yu luck. The old man then announces the beginning of the second semifinal round between the Shaman and Kalima.

Just before their match begins, Aisha is regretting her words and confesses to the Winx that she just wanted to protect Yu. Flora assures Aisha that she was not doing anything wrong and proposes that they watch Yu from a distance so that they can step in when things start to go wrong.

Soon enough, the match between Kalima and the Shaman begins with Kalima leaping into the air and diving down towards the Shaman with a fierce kick. However, the Shaman is able to grab Kalima's foot and flip her with enough force to knock her out, winning the match with a single move.

It does not take long before the final match between Yu and the Shaman begins. The two fighters leap onto the large red beams that adorn the ring and Yu unleashes a flurry of swift kicks at the Shaman, who dodges every single one. The two quickly leap into the air again where another confrontation occurs. This time, the Shaman manages to grab one of Yu's legs and hurls her across the ring but, luckily, Yu manages to grab onto one of the red beams and hops on top of it. The Shaman tries attacking this time but Yu dodges his kick. She fakes out the Shaman with a quick kick towards his shoulder only to land a kick on his face. The two fall back to their respective beams and Yu lunges at the Shaman, unleashing another flurry of swift kicks. The Shaman blocks most of them until Yu breaks through his defenses, kicking his face repeatedly. The Shaman becomes disoriented and Yu takes the chance to land one final kick to his torso, causing the Shaman to plummet down onto the floor.

However, their fight is far from over and, when Yu lands back on the floor, she circles around the Shaman before unleashing another flurry of kicks when he stands back up. The Shaman blocks all of her kicks but is still disoriented from the fall which leaves him wide open for Yu to land another kick to his face. The Shaman quickly recovers and lunges at Yu but she dodges his punch and kicks him square in the face again, knocking him down. She then leaps into the air and prepares to give the finishing blow, however, the Shaman quickly pulls out a strange stone that releases a bright orange light and creates a puff of red smoke. The light blinds everyone watching and, when it fades out, everyone finds that Yu and the Shaman have both disappeared!

The Winx quickly leave the Light Tiger Palace to look for Yu as they suspect that the Shaman may be trying to take Yu into the World of Dreams and believe that he could not have gone far. That is when Flora decides to listen to the plants in order to figure out where Yu had been taken and when she makes contact with a nearby bush, she can see an image of Yu lying in the grass somewhere.

There, the Shaman looms over a barely conscious Yu and releases some golden dust onto her which puts her to sleep. The Shaman then demands that someone somewhere open the portal for him and a portal to the World of Dreams appears right before him.

After seeing everything that nature wanted to show her, Flora reports to the girls that Yu is in the forest and that they need to hurry. Bloom proposes that they all transform and the six fairies go into their Dreamix in order to stop the Shaman, however, when they spot the Shaman, they are too late as Yu is already being levitated into the portal.

Aisha tries to beat the Shaman away from Yu by launching a fist made from water at him and is successful, however, the Winx are unable to stop Yu from being whisked into the World of Dreams. The portal disappears right after Yu is taken which leaves the Shaman with no choice but to fight the Winx if he wants to escape. The Shaman starts hurling his strange stones at the Winx and the stones detonate upon contact. The Winx are able to dodge two of them and Bloom even beats one of them back with a blast of fire. The Shaman tries to attack Tecna and Flora but Tecna is able to deflect them with a technomagic shield. He tries launching three of his stones at Bloom but she is able to neutralize them with a ring of fire. That is when the Shaman starts aiming for Stella and cuts down multiple trees with his stones as he tries to hit her. Stella then deflects the stones with a shield made of light before she ends up being lured outside of the forest. The Shaman then uses his next move to try and blind the Winx by using one of his magic stones as cover, however, when the red smoke clears, Aisha comes charging at him with a tidal wave right behind her! Aisha hurls the tidal wave directly towards the Shaman and the immense force behind it momentarily knocks him out. The Shaman quickly recovers and prepares his four stones for his next attack...

9- "Sogni in Frantumi" ("Shattered Dreams")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

The Winx's battle against the Shaman continues as the Shaman demands that they let him flee or else he will unleash his strongest magic upon them. The girls obviously refuse his demands, so he hurls one of his magical stones at them and has it cast a larger explosion. The Winx are able to evade the explosion but the Shaman disappears within a large cloud of red smoke. They look for the Shaman and Musa is able to find him hiding behind a nearby tree. When he is found, the Shaman launches more of his magical stones at the Winx again. Bloom neutralizes three of the stones with a ring of fire once more and Stella evades them until she is stopped by a small explosion. She turns around to find the Shaman ready to aim for Bloom again and casts a shield of light in front of her friend in order to protect her. Once the stones have been deflected, Bloom shoots a beam of fire directly at the Shaman but he is able to magically shield himself from the blast. The fire causes a cloud of smoke to puff up directly in the Shaman's face and, when it clears, he is met by a blast of water sent by Aisha. Once he falls onto his back, Tecna quickly casts a technomagic shield around the Shaman to trap him.

The Winx land just a few feet from Tecna's cage as the Shaman pulls out another stone from his pockets. He throws the stone onto the ground which releases a puff of red smoke that blinds the Winx. When the smoke clears, the four fairies find that the Shaman had escaped! Tecna realizes that the Shaman's magical stones seem to have an unending source of power and that is when the Shaman reappears behind them to hurl another one of his stones at them. The smoke from the stone unleashes a large purple serpent on the Winx and it manages to capture Tecna and Stella before they air able to get back into the air. Bloom and Aisha try to look for an opening but the serpent whacks Bloom onto the ground as it wraps Aisha up in its tail. As Bloom tries to recover, she finds the Shaman looming over her, ready to attack. However, Flora flies into view just behind the Shaman and Bloom takes this opportunity to sap the Shaman of his strength as Flora conjures up vines to bind him to a nearby tree.

The Shaman, however, is not ready to give in as he tries to throw his stones one more time. Luckily, Musa is able to knock the stones out of his hands, which also causes the purple serpent to disappear. With the Shaman defeated, Bloom orders the girls to take him with them as she leaves on her own.

Once the Winx return to the Winxmobile, Bloom promises to meet up with them some other time and Stella assures her that they will be able to handle the show as well as their "new friend." The two end their call and Stella focuses her attention back on the Shaman, who is now surrounded by the rest of the Winx and is bound by shackles made from Aisha's Morphix.

Aisha glares down the Shaman as she explains that she and her friends will find out where he took Yu and rescue her, however, the Shaman believes that it would be impossible for them to do so. That is when Aisha has Musa hand her one of the Shaman's stones from her handbag and uses her powers to apply large amount of pressure onto it in order to get the Shaman to talk. As Aisha applies more pressure onto it, the stone begins to crack up. That is until the Shaman eventually gives in and confesses that it was the Queen of the World of Dreams who took Yu. Aisha drops the stone back into her hand and demands to know if this Queen is the Talent Thief they have been searching for and the Shaman confirms this. Aisha then asks what the Queen's motives are but the Shaman insists that he does not know so, in response, Aisha has Musa hand her another one of his magical stones. That is when the Shaman confesses that the Queen never reveals why she wants the talents and only tells her underlings who they should kidnap. Flora stares into the Shaman's eyes for a moment and reveals that she can tell that the Shaman is telling the truth. The Shaman further explains that one can only enter the World of Dreams with a Magic Watch but he does not own one. Aisha promptly asks how the Shaman was able to get Yu into the World of Dreams if he cannot summon a portal and the Shaman insists that one just opened up where he was. Flora also confirms seeing one through the images that nature showed her and she proposes that the Shaman ask the portal to open again for them. However, the Shaman insists that the Queen would not allow the portal to open again. Flora believes that the Shaman is being sincere but he has more information for them; something very important. However, before the Winx can get the Shaman to speak, they are interrupted by constant knocking coming from the roof of the Winxmobile.

Aisha hands Musa the Shaman's magical stones to hide in her handbag as she and Tecna approach the door of the Winxmobile to see who is knocking. Aisha peers out of the window and is startled by Lorelei popping into view. Aisha frantically warns the girls to hide the Shaman as she and Flora awkwardly wave at Lorelei to keep her from spotting him. However, when Tecna and Musa try to restrain the Shaman, he fights them off; bumping Musa into the back of the Winxmobile in the process. Tecna manages to get him off of Musa and hold him back until Lorelei starts pounding on the side of the vehicle, demanding to be let inside. Aisha then proposes that they all meet up with Lorelei outside of the Winxmobile as they cannot risk her coming in and seeing the Shaman. The girls do just that but Lorelei seems to have quieted down and seems rather suspicious of the group. She even tries approaching the Winxmobile, only to be stopped by Stella blocking her with her arm.

Meanwhile, the Shaman tries to figure out a way outside of the Winxmobile until his shadow starts to move and change shape. The Shaman is surprised to see the shadow crawl up the wall in front of him and completely change shape; closer resembling the Queen of the World of Dreams. The Queen speaks through the Shaman's contorted shadow and praises him for being able to deliver the girl with a talent for kung fu to her. However, she is not too pleased to learn that the Shaman could not open up a portal himself. That is when the Shaman reveals that someone by the name of Jim stole the Magic Watch from him, which causes the Queen to lash out at the Shaman, completely enraged with how he somehow let Jim take his Watch. The Shaman frantically apologizes and the Queen comments on how disappointing the Shaman is as a subordinate. She then tasks him with delivering a new talent by tomorrow and specifically asks for the same talent that the Winx will end up scouting out. She warns the Shaman not to make any mistakes as she breaks Aisha's Morphix handcuffs. The Shaman promises to do so as he reveals his magical stones from the palm of his hands and it turns out that he was able to retrieve his magical stones when he bumped Musa into the back of the vehicle just moments earlier. He then throws down one of his stones and disappears along with his contorted shadow in a puff of red smoke.

Immediately afterwards, Lorelei manages to burst into the Winxmobile with the Winx rushing right behind her. Much to the Winx's confusion and Lorelei's frustration, the Winxmobile is completely empty, which prompts Lorelei to ask why they did not let her inside earlier. The Winx try to piece together what this could all mean until Musa checks her handbag and is horrified to see that the magical stones are also gone. However, in that moment, the Winx and Bloom experience another one of their brief visions. In it, they see a close up of the Big Ben clock tower, a rather sizeable mansion and a young brunette.

In fact, the brunette is seen approaching a piano in one of the mansion's rooms. She pulls open a compartment within the piano and is disappointed to find that it is empty. In response, the young brunette asks her butler, James, where he put "it," but before he can answer her, James is interrupted by a woman's voice calling out the brunette's name, Madelyn. Just then, a thin middle-aged woman and a rather old man enter the room with a small dog on a leash and the woman proposes that Madelyn practice for an upcoming performance. The old man reminds Madelyn that her performance is scheduled for that night and makes note of how many important people will be there to see her play. Madelyn reluctantly complies and begins playing on the piano. Her parents seem to be content with Madelyn's playing but James seems to be subtly upset to see Madelyn playing with such a disappointed look on her face.

Back at the Winxmobile, the Winx are brought back into consciousness as Lorelei asks them what their next move will be. The Winx seem to be a bit dazed so Lorelei urges for them to concentrate until Musa claims that their next destination will be London, England. Lorelei excitedly encourages the Winx to get their show on the road to "find that talent" and, soon enough, she and the Winx arrive in London with the camera-drones in tow.

Upon arrival, Lorelei and the Winx exit the Winxmobile once it is parked on the side of a road. As Lorelei poses in front of the camera-drones, Musa asks the rest of the Winx what they should do about "them." Stella claims that she already has an idea and approaches Lorelei, leaving the rest of the Winx confused and curious. Stella scoots up to Lorelei's side and loudly asks if everyone is thinking about Lorelei the same way she is. This quickly catches Lorelei's attention as Stella proclaims that she is now ready. Curious, Lorelei is eager to know what she is ready for and Stella reveals that Lorelei is now ready to headline an episode of WOW all on her own. She then tells Lorelei to run into town with the camera-drones and look for any talented people she sees. Lorelei runs off without any hesitation, excited that her moment to shine has finally come, and all of the camera-drones fly just behind her. The rest of the Winx happily wave goodbye to Lorelei as she and the show are now out of their hair for the time being.

Meanwhile, Lorelei announces to Ace and the audience that today's episode of WOW is a very special one as she will be featured in it as the episode's star. Ace asks Lorelei where is going and Lorelei proclaims that she is going to "find that talent!" However, Ace is still confused as he does not know what the Winx will be doing if Lorelei is left to handle an episode all by herself.

In fact, the Winx are still hanging around the Winxmobile, where Bloom regroups with them once the coast is clear. She praises Stella on her quick thinking and the two of them hug as Stella claims that they missed her. Bloom and Stella then regroup with the rest of the Winx and Musa reveals to Bloom that the Shaman managed to escape. Bloom assures Musa that they will track him down and recapture him but claims that finding Madelyn is their main priority now.

Soon enough, the Winx find and approach Madelyn's mansion and are greeted by James taking four pugs out for a walk. The pugs run in circles around James and tangle him up in their leashes as the Winx watch. Bloom then claims that they may have found their ticket inside the mansion. Stella catches onto Bloom's plan and whips out SuperSue as she claims that she knows just the style change that they will need.

After creating dog sitting outfits for herself and the Winx, the six fairies approach James as Stella asks if he needs help taking care of his four pugs. James struggles free of the leashes wrapped around him and hires the Winx on the spot. Stella then wonders over how hard it could be to watch over such small dogs, only to be shown how hard it can be in the very next scene; being wrapped in their leashes as the four pugs run circles around her.

Luckily, the rest of the Winx come to her rescue and, soon enough, all six of them are playing with the excitable puppies.

Meanwhile, James opens the front door for Madelyn and watches her leave the house in a terrible mood, feeling bad and almost guilty for it. Madelyn's parents follow suit as her mother tries to make her feel better by telling her not to be so sad as they are certain that she will not disappoint them. Madelyn agrees with her mother, but walks on, still feeling dejected. The Winx quickly take notice of Madelyn and recognize her from their vision, with Stella adding in that she is "the little girl with a big dream."

Once Madelyn approaches her parents' white limousine, James rushes forward to open the car door. He then realizes that he may have something that could lift the young girl's spirits and reaches into his pocket to get it. Unfortunately, he is stopped by Madelyn's mother calling for her, so Madelyn hops into the limousine and it drives off. Musa claims that the "big dream" Madelyn may hold looks more like a broken one as James looks regretfully into the blue guitar pick in palm of his right hand. This prompts Bloom into proposing that they split up and she tasks Musa, Flora and Aisha with watching over Madelyn as she, Tecna and Stella will continue taking care of the dogs.

In another part of the city, Madelyn and her parents make it to the Concert Hall with Musa, Flora and Aisha following closely behind.

Inside the Hall, Madelyn waits around, humming in a chair as she clicks her ankles together, until she is interrupted by a voice commenting on how sad she looks. Looking off to her right, Musa approaches the young girl, introduces herself and asks if something is wrong. Madelyn simply looks down and shrugs, so Musa points out how she is also a fellow musician and has been playing for her whole life ever since she was as young as Madelyn. Brightening up just a bit, Madelyn asks if Musa liked playing and Musa claims that she enjoyed it when she could play the music she loved. This seems to make Madelyn feel worse until Musa asks her what she loves and what her "dream music" is. Madelyn claims that it definitely does not come from the piano but feels like she cannot stop because her parents tell her that it is an important instrument and they always seem so happy when she plays. Their conversation is then cut short by a man's voice announcing Madelyn's name to the audience, so Madelyn leaves Musa behind feeling as sad as she did when she left home. However, something suddenly rises up from within Madelyn and she runs off in the other direction, refusing to go on-stage. Musa calls out to Madelyn and she, Flora and Aisha give chase to keep her safe, but once the three of them round the corner Madelyn ran down, she is nowhere to be found! Musa then tasks Flora and Aisha with following the young girl as she claims that she will be the one to "keep her dream alive." Whipping out her Winxwatch, Musa calls Lorelei and asks how quickly she can get to the Concert Hall because they would want her to play for them. Musa then gets on-stage to inform the audience that they will be having a brief intermission before a performance from a surprise guest.

Aisha and Flora make it to the outside of the Hall and still cannot find Madelyn anywhere like she vanished into thin air. The two of them are then met by Lorelei as she proclaims that today will be the day where the talent scout becomes the talent for the show. Musa runs out to the front of the Concert Hall and tells Lorelei to hurry inside as the audience is waiting for her, prompting Lorelei to run inside excitedly.

Meanwhile, Bloom, Stella and Tecna are still watching the pugs enjoy themselves until Musa, Flora and Aisha regroup with them and Musa informs them of Madelyn's disappearance. Tecna asks Musa why she believes that the Shaman has not kidnapped her yet and, after a brief moment, Musa claims that she can still feel Madelyn's aura and that she is not too far from them no less. The Winx decide to investigate but not without having a bit of fun doing it, too.

After their little detective montage, Musa digs through the pocket of a suit and pulls out a small blue guitar pick. She then kneels down and holds the pick in the pugs' faces, asking them to find Madelyn for them. The four pug pups quickly pick up the scent and run off further into the yard, leading the girls to a large treehouse.

Musa manages to climb inside the treehouse and spots Madelyn playing on a pink guitar with headphones on and a more happy and content look on her face. She approaches the young player and asks if rock and roll is her "dream music." Surprised, Madelyn asks how Musa knew that as she removes her headphones and Musa reveals that it was because of her guitar pick—the one James has been keeping. Madelyn then reveals that James is the only one who has heard her play the guitar and, after taking the pick, makes Musa the second one to hear it. After a short performance, Musa claims that it is due time for the rest of the world to meet "Rock n' Roll Madelyn." Madelyn is initially shocked by Musa's proposal but quickly smiles at the thought, showing her agreement with the idea.

Back at the Concert Hall, Lorelei erratically plays the piano and makes quite a scene, causing many of the audience members to laugh. On the other hand, Ace is mortified by the performance and orders one of his assistants to cut to a commercial but, unfortunately, all of them were already run during this whole mess. A man's voice calls out from behind Lorelei to tell her that she is finished but Lorelei feels like she has only just started and continues to play.

Meanwhile, Madelyn and the Winx arrive backstage as Musa gives Madelyn one final pep talk: to let Madelyn show everyone who she really is. The young guitarist takes a few deep breaths and runs off to the direction of the stage until golden dust begins to rain down onto her. Suddenly, a rock drops in front of Madelyn and quickly engulfs her in a puff of red smoke just as Musa recognizes the golden dust. Bloom orders for everyone to look for the Shaman before it is too late and the six of them run further backstage, where the Shaman makes himself appear on the level above them.

Aisha is quick to spot the Shaman with an unconscious Madelyn and the Shaman uses one of his magical stones to create multiple images of himself carrying the young girl. Bloom then claims that this is a moment for their Dreamix powers and the six of them promptly transform as they form a ring, covering each other's backs.

Aisha proposes that they all attack each Shaman copy as there are now six Shamans in the area—the same as them—, but Tecna believes that the Shaman is purposely trying to divide them and proposes that they stick together. Stella does not agree as she believes that doing so will only give the Shaman a chance to attack them all in one blow, all as the six Shamans close in on the Winx. That is when Musa flies upwards and tries to knock down one of the Shamans with a sound blast, only for that Shaman to evade it. Each of the Shamans begin to pelt the Winx with their magic stones, which either hit the floor or are deflected by the Winx protecting themselves. That is until two of the Shamans' stones manage to cause an explosion so powerful that it knocks Bloom out of the air and onto the floor, defenseless. Just as the two Shamans prepare to strike Bloom again, Musa focuses her magic and sends out magical vibrations that disrupt the Shaman's illusions, allowing her to find the real Shaman and Madelyn. After figuring out where the real Shaman is, Musa rushes towards him and knocks him down with a blast of sound, causing him to drop Madelyn. Fortunately, Musa catches Madelyn and the Shaman retaliates by launching a stone directly at Musa. The Winx look on in horror, fearing that one of them may have been struck down, but luckily, Musa was able to block the stone and its blast with a sound shield.

Once the dust settles, Musa looks the Shaman straight in the eye and asks if he has ever listened to "the silence" before striking him down with a focused magic blast. With the Shaman critically wounded, his copies disappear and the Winx surround Musa and praise her. The Shaman tries to get up to continue the fight but a portal suddenly opens from behind and sucks him in against his wishes.

A short while later, Madelyn wakes up with no recollection of what happened before she was knocked out. Stella claims that she simply fainted, possibly due to stagefright or excitement, and Bloom assures her that everything is fine. Madelyn then asks if it is her turn now and Musa stops her to hand her the guitar and wish her well. Madelyn smiles in response and rushes off.

On-stage, Lorelei is finally pushed away from the piano and backstage. With her out of the way, the announcer is able to announce Madelyn's performance and Madelyn steps on-stage to play the piano but in a different attire. After a bit of the piano, Madelyn pulls out her guitar and belts out a quick riff. At first, Madelyn fears that the audience will be displeased with her performance but she is quickly proven wrong by how they erupt into applause. Madelyn then happily looks behind her to see the Winx applauding as well with Musa giving her two thumbs up. She looks to her side and sees James happy to see her playing what she truly enjoys, only for him to be tackled to the floor by her pet pugs.

Meanwhile, on the WOW set, Madelyn is shown to have received enough positive votes to move her into the finals.

A short while later, Madelyn meets the Winx backstage to properly thank Musa for everything she has done. As a keepsake, Madelyn gives Musa her guitar pick, which she happily receives, and Musa points out that someone came backstage to see her. Madelyn turns around to find her parents smiling as they wait for her and she excitedly runs towards them. Her mother picks her up and embraces her as Madelyn thanks the two of them for still accepting her dreams.

In the World of Dreams, Shaman stands alone in a clearing as many shadows swirl around him and pool together just in front of him, creating the Queen of the World of Dreams. The Queen calls the Shaman out on his latest failure but the Shaman claims that he almost had the talent she requested but she pulled him back too quickly. The Queen dismisses this by claiming that time was up and points out that the Shaman was only able to complete half of his job as he did bring her the Kung Fu talent. As a reward, the Queen decides to show him only half of her mercy and allows him to stay in the World of Dreams, but under one condition. She then calls the Crocodile Man over and has him take the Shaman's magic stones, making him lose his magic. To clarify, the Shaman has been downgraded and the Queen calls forth her warriors from the shadows, tasking them to dispose of the Winx once and for all.

10- "Acque Pericolose" ("Dangerous Waters")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

The Winxmobile arrives at the Santa Monica beach in California. Ace then opens up the show and shows the audience the beach. The camera then zooms onto the Winxmobile, where Lorelei jumps out of the vehicle and shows how ecstatic she is about the beach. She walks over to some of the locals and greets everyone on camera, then "jokingly" introduces her "assistants" - the Winx. Ace plays along the assistant part which the girls find annoying.

Lorelei tells the locals that the WOW crew are looking for talents, but as the Dreamix has not picked up any talents yet Stella amusingly decides to let Lorelei have some fun since she chose to come here. Lorelei feels that the talent is a sandcastle artist, she shows Ace who it is - a little boy who is just banging on the sand with a small shovel. The audience laugh and Ace starts to lose his patience; he asks his assistant who had hired this idiot (Lorelei). The assistant replies that it was Ace himself.

Ace and the assistant head backstage; Ace is fuming and so he fires him for pointing out the truth. Ace also tells his stylists to scram as well, which they do in a hasty fashion. Ace complains and wants a new assistant, Smee hears about it when he sneaks backstage. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity, Smee offers his assistance. Delighted, Ace decides the audience should get something exciting and Smee obliges with some ideas in mind. The show is now on commercial and so the drones have stopped recording. Lorelei gets annoyed that Ace stopped recording while she was doing a good job (in her opinion that is). She decides that she would make a better host than Ace, but takes it back when she sees the Winx eyeing her. The Winx talk amongst themselves, and all are visibly bummed about Bloom not being with them.

Meanwhile, Bloom and Roxy are on the hunt for the magical watch they need to enter the World of Dreams, which is in the hands of the detectives. Arthur keeps track of them and shares his sights with Roxy. Artu sees that they are heading to the airport and that they do indeed, have the watch. So, Roxy and Bloom follows Artu's lead unaware that the same man who snuck into Annabelle's home is following them.

Backstage of WOW, Smee's idea is putting Ace under his power using the magical watch. The show starts up again and Ace appears on stage, the Winx greet him and so does Lorelei who lets him that she has found another talent. Ace then insults her talents. This shocks the Winx and Lorelei, but all Ace and the audience does is laugh. Ace then decides that the Winx have to show off their talents through a test. Smee gets the audience to agree and who then start to chant "test" in unison. In Santa Monica, Stella has a bad feeling about this.

Roxy and Bloom follow Artu who is chasing the detectives' car. In the car, the detectives discuss about the watch. It seems that their forensic team have no clue what it is and hope that the watchmaker in Switzerland will help them. Gómez also comments that they get to enjoy the skiing country with each other, which also prompts Evans to annoyingly remind him that they are still investigating. Then suddenly, Jim lands roughly on the roof of their car and tries to snatch the watch. Gómez holds onto the watch tightly as Evans steps on it to try and shake the him off. Artu follows. Jim succeeds in stealing it and disappears before the detectives could do anything which angers them. Jim runs off to an alley with Bloom and Roxy pursuing him, determined to catch him.

Meanwhile, the girls are preparing themselves for Ace's tests: get to Mako Island by water skiing and be their first before the Sharks group. With the competition set, Aisha is more than excited to get started. The race begins and Lorelei is happy to stay behind and watch. The Winx get ahead of the Sharks, which irritates Ace but he tries to play it cool as he is still hosting. Smee, who is watching, decides to move onto phase two.

The detectives, Artu, Bloom and Roxy chase Jim. But when he jumps over a fence in an alley, the detectives can no longer follow. However, Bloom and Roxy can, they chase on the rooftops but Roxy lets Bloom know, through Artu's eyes, that Jim had just landed on the street. They pursue him once more.

The girls are almost at Mako Island when Lorelei takes the lead with a small boat which then breaks down after just passing the others by a bit. The sharks surround her boat, she tries to restart it but to no avail and starts to panic. The girls are coming to Lorelei's rescue when Stella asks Ace if he thinks the test is dangerous, which it clearly is. Ace replies psychotically that it is an extreme test after all. Behind the curtains, Smee is actually the one controlling the sharks.

Aisha sneakily uses her magic to push some sharks away. Stella comments that Ace is going too far but Flora says that someone is definitely controlling the sharks and Ace. The sharks are looming dangerously close the girls. By now, the drones have submerged into the water, and now, there is no feed to the show. The assistant points that out to Ace, who still says the show will go on in a deranged laugh.

The Winx have made onto a shipwreck, which is safe from the sharks and dangerous waves. Aisha is then able to use her magic secretly to release the sharks from Smee's control, saving Lorelei. Unfortunately for them the Sharks themselves reveal to be monstrous, pirate ghouls. The Winx transform and fight against the pirate ghouls. The pirate ghouls have the upper hand, they fight and eventually the pirates all end up on the same rock. Seeing this as an opportunity, Aisha attacks them with a large wall of water. When she releases the water, the pirates disappear into a portal. The waves become calm again and the gloomy, dark atmosphere is no more. They realize that these pirates are working for the Queen as well but they are interrupted by Lorelei who is on a safety boat and had rowed her way to Mako Island, and finds out their true identities.

She calls Ace to let him and their audience know, Ace answers his phone and Lorelei proceeds to tell him what she discovered. All Ace did next was laugh at her statement, obviously not believing. On the other end, Stella mocks Lorelei about her "compliment" towards them which infuriates Lorelei. Ace continues laughing even more deranged, while Lorelei tries to get him to believe her, Ace fires her. Ace runs rampantly while cackling psychotically, so his assistant decides to cut the show.

After Lorelei realizes she has been fired, she angrily throws her phone into the ocean but decides that she will make a film about her discovery. She then she paddles back to shore with a smirk. The Winx are more than happy to see her finally out of their hair.

Meanwhile, Roxy, Bloom and Artu are able to corner Jim, who jumps to escape Artu and ends up dropping and breaking the magical watch. Roxy snatches the magical watch but because the watch is broken, they are unsure of what to do now. Jim then jumps back down and offers his assistance to them, much to their shock.

11- "Ombre sulla Neve" ("Shadows on the Snow")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

Jim approaches Bloom, Roxy and Arthur, insisting that they hand over the Magic Watch as he knows how to make it work. Naturally, none of them are quick to trust him and Bloom claims that it is his fault that Annabelle continues to be trapped within the World of Dreams. However, Jim believes that Bloom is wrong and claims that he was only trying to protect Annabelle but, again, neither her nor Roxy believe his words. Bloom then demands to know how Jim really is and why she should even believe him, so Jim formally introduces himself claiming to be the owner of the Watch. Bloom tells him to prove such a claim and Jim goes on to state that he lost the Watch while trying to protect Annabelle from her real kidnapper. He returned to Annabelle's apartment to get the Watch which is what caused Bloom to chase him through the city and fight him multiple times—something that Bloom calls him out on. Jim explains that he had no choice but to flee and hide otherwise the Queen's servants would have found and captured him by now. Surprised by his words, Bloom realizes that he is running away from some Queen, but Roxy runs in between her and Jim, hoping that Bloom has not fallen for his words. Jim goes on to continue explaining that the Queen of the World of Dreams is a harsh ruler which he tried to revolt against but failed in doing so, becoming a wanted criminal. He looks back at the fairies' faces and sees that Bloom seems to be more sympathetic of his situation, whereas Roxy still cannot bring herself to trust him. Jim then ends his explanation by claiming that he not only failed in his revolt, but also failed in protecting Annabelle and the other kidnapped talents. Bloom jumps into Jim's face, demanding to know why the Queen has been kidnapping talented young people, Jim responds by claiming that he would also like to know of her motives. The two stare into each other's eyes for a brief moment until Jim realizes that, with Bloom's help, they will be able to rescue all of the trapped talents and take down the Queen. Bloom has Roxy hand her the Watch and she shows the broken face to Jim, explaining that they cannot open the portal now. Little does the group know is that Evans and Gómez managed to tail them to the alleyway they are currently in and are listening in to their conversation in Gómez's car.

Gómez proclaims proudly that he knew Bloom and Roxy were involved with the incident earlier only to be shushed by Evans, who is still trying to listen in.

After taking a good look at the broken Watch, Jim realizes that he knows someone who can fix it and, when asked who it could be, he explains that the man is a bit of a hermit and a "watch magician" who lives in the Swiss Alps. This hermit likes to call himself "The Watchmaker."

From the car, Gómez declares that they will be going on a ski trip now that they have found their guy, but Evans insists that they continue to follow without being seen as they still lack substantial evidence.

Jim proclaims that they must reach the Watchmaker's home before the Queen does and the two fairies give each other side glances after hearing the whole story. Roxy is surprised by the look Bloom is giving her and Bloom thanks Roxy for her help as she declares that she will be traveling to Switzerland with Jim. Roxy asks if Bloom is sure about this and Bloom affirms her decision, insisting that she does not want Roxy to risk her life. This also gives Evans and Gómez the confirmation they need to tail the pair to Switzerland.

Meanwhile, in Santa Monica beach, the Winx catch word of Bloom's decision inside the Winxmobile and Stella is very much against the idea of her going in alone. The Winx then deliberate amongst themselves as to whether or not Jim is really on their side. Aisha believes that he would need the Watch just as much as them while Bloom still is unsure as to what she should think about him, however, what she does know is that, with Jim's help, they finally have a chance at saving all of the kidnapped talents. Stella then advises that Bloom keep her eyes peeled and Bloom gives an affirming nod before the call closes out. Flora whispers under her breath that they wish that they were with Bloom until all of them are hit with their Dreamix Vision containing images of a park out at sea, a mountain range, a snowboarding ramp and a pigtailed girl.

Aisha expresses her disbelief in how their Dreamix Vision is now leading them to Switzerland as well, which Musa comments on, but they are interrupted by the beeping of Stella's Winxwatch receiving a call from Ace. His sheepish assistant reveals to be on the other end of the line as Ace himself is in a nonsensical daze, still reeling from the mind control. The assistant explains that Ace has been this way ever since the last episode and that the new intern they had seemingly vanished into thin air. He then asks if the girls are ready to find that talent (the phrase being uttered by Ace over him) and Stella confirms that they are traveling to Switzerland to do so.

And so, WOW is set to air and Ace's sheepish assistant is stuck struggling to host the show in his place. With the camera-drones in place, everyone on WOW watches on as snowboarders participate in the International Snowboarding Competition. Unfortunately, one of the snowboarders is not doing so well, even to the point where Stella begins doubting that she is the talent that they are looking for.

Meanwhile, in the Swiss Alps, a man in a coat places his palm on top of the ice and coats it in a strange octopus-like symbol before laughing maniacally.

In another part of the Alps, Jim and Bloom are braving the mountains and harsh weather in search of the Watchmaker. As they continue down their path, Jim asks Bloom if she still does not trust him and adds that she has not even told him her name yet. Noticing that she is not stopping, Jim grabs hold of her wrist, which prompts her into pulling it out of his grasp after demanding that she be let go. She then notices some holes in the ground before her and Jim advises that she not panic as he throws a rock at the holes, revealing that the ground further out is brittle. He proposes that they change patches but is surprised to see Bloom already leaping to safer, sturdier rocks and cliffs with ease and follows suit.

The two of them soon find themselves on top of a frozen lake, one that Jim claims is not too far from the Watchmaker's hideout, but he is not completely sure as it is difficult for him to see through all the snow. As the two continue on, Jim advises for Bloom to walk slowly across the ice until Bloom finally snaps at him, demanding that he stop ordering her around already. He agrees to stop and the two continue on in silence until they eventually split off in two directions.

Bloom eventually steps on a large and strange octopus symbol in the ice and the icy lake begins to violently crack apart around them! The two try to outrun the trap but one of the blasts knocks them both to the ground. They manage to get up quickly and continue to run until they make it to the other side of the lake, safe and sound for now. The two of them look back at the lake, now filled with shards of ice, and Jim checks to see if Bloom is alright but still does not know her name. That is when Bloom formally introduces herself, showing that she has just a little bit of trust in Jim now.

Meanwhile, back at the International Snowboarding Competition, one of the competitors is still having trouble staying on her board and falls over yet again. Aisha approaches the girl and dusts her off as she insists that even the best make mistakes from time to time, but the important thing is that she keeps trying. The girl thanks Aisha for her kind words and Aisha introduces herself and the group. Or she tries to, but the girl already recognizes them as "The Legendary Winx" and reveals that she has been watching them since the first episode of WOW. Aisha then asks if the girl knows that them meeting her means that they are on the lookout for new talent as always.

On the WOW set, Ace's assistant continues to struggle with hosting the show until Puff runs up and bites him in the foot, causing him to hobble off-stage. Margot picks up Puff, thanking her dog for ending their torture as Cliff announces to the audience that it seems as though the Winx have spotted yet another talent, and the girl introduces herself as Silke, claiming that it would be a dream to participate on the show. Margot then asks if Puff thinks Silke is either Wow! or Out.

Back with Bloom and Jim, the two are now riding a cable car for the next leg of their journey, during which Bloom asks if Jim recognized the strange octopus symbol from earlier. Jim confirms that he has and Bloom asks if it was a trap set for them. Jim suspects that someone does not want them to be here and Bloom suspects that it may have been set by the Watchmaker, but the two of them are interrupted by the cable care suddenly shaking violently for a moment. Just as it could not get any worse, the cable car makes a sudden stop in the middle of a pit between the mountains. Jim takes this as an opportunity to climb on top of the cable car to check something and tells Bloom to wait for him inside. Bloom does so for a while until she begins to fear that she had been left behind, so she leaps to the top of the cable car herself, only to see that Jim has found yet another octopus symbol.

The symbol detonates, releasing a large teal-colored explosion, that knocks Bloom back inside the cable car and Jim right off of it, though, luckily, he manages to snag onto one of the cables. As Bloom recovers from the blast, the cable car begins to shake violently again until it snaps in two! The half still connected to a stable cable begins to tilt, sending Bloom to the pit below, and Jim shouts for her to jump. Bloom continues to slip down to the edge of the cable car and struggles to hold herself up, however, she still refuses to reveal her fairy identity and wills herself into getting back onto the cable car and running across it before it snaps off the cable. In fact, she is able to leap off of it and grab hold of Jim's hand just before the cable snaps, sending the other half of the cable car into the pit and the two of them to the side of the next mountain. The two of them lose their grip on the mountainside and plummet downwards until they grab hold of larger ridges and begin to climb the mountainside.

During the climb, Bloom thanks Jim for saving her and Jim smiles in response before the two continue climbing.

Back at the Snowboarding Competition, the Winx are accompanying Silke to where it will take place. Stella asks the girls of their opinions as she believes that their Vision must have screwed up this time. Musa claims that she also thought that Silke was going to make her dreams come true and Tecna suspects that Silke's dream may not be concerning the Competition.

Silke tells the girls that it would be a dream come true for her to be on WOW, but she doubts that she will ever be able to do so because she keeps making mistakes. Aisha offers some pieces of advice, like how Silke just needs to improve her grabs and torso-twists, and Silke wonders if she will be able to snowboard properly if she does so. Aisha, however, thinks otherwise even though she knows Silke tries hard but does not say this outright, not until Silke guesses that Aisha thinks she has no chance at winning the Competition. Aisha then points out that the final round of the Competition is a long jump from the tall ramp overlooking the entire area, and claims that she could really hurt herself if she were to make just one mistake. Silke, on the other hand, believes that she cannot back out of the Competition now as everyone would see that she is good for nothing if she does so. Aisha tells Silke that she does not need to prove herself to anybody and can try again once she has the necessary experience. She tries to continue with her words of advice but Silke interrupts her, wanting to know if Aisha believes in her. Aisha is unable to answer this at first, but Silke does not take this too harshly and assures Aisha that it is okay as she knows that she just needs to practice to improve. As the two continue to walk together, Aisha confirms that she does indeed believe in Silke. Unbeknownst to them or any of the Winx, a portal has opened up in another part of the forest and it lets out three shadow monsters to carry out the Queen's bidding.

Back in the Swiss Alps, Evans and Gómez are following Bloom and Jim's trail, with Evans being able to keep track of their location through a compass app on her phone while Gòmez struggles to read the map they have. The two of them quickly come across the lake full of broken ice floes and shards and Evans insists that this is the only path they can continue to use. Evans hops from floe to floe with relative ease while Gómez has much more trouble keeping stable and almost falls into the freezing water if it were not for Evans grabbing hold of him from the edge of her floe. With their hands interlocked, Gómez turns on the charm, only for no-nonsense Evans to dismiss it and insist that he let go of her now that he is safe.

Returning to Bloom and Jim, the two of them continue on a mountain ridge until it begins shaking and a small avalanche occurs, causing their path to be blocked. Jim frustratedly exclaims that that was their only way to the Watchmaker's hideout until Bloom advises for him to stand back. Closing her eyes, Bloom reaches within herself to get in touch with her fire magic. Once she feels she is in tune with it, Bloom places her palm on the ice and melts a hole in it, clearing their path once again. Jim quickly remembers Bloom's powers, as well as her other abilities as a fairy, and claims Bloom to be a very resourceful girl—a remark that seems to tip her off.

Back with the Snowboarding Competition, the final round seems to be underway as a snowboarder in yellow has just cleared the long jump. As a snowboarder in blue boards down the ramp next, Aisha hopes that Silke does not go through with this, as it is more important to accept one's limits than to celebrate a small victory. As the girls watch the snowboarder in blue clear the long jump, Musa looks back at the ramp and spies three shadow monsters scaling it! Realizing that they are after Silke, Stella stealthily uses her light magic to knock them off the ramp, however, she does not believe that it will help much if they are stuck watching. The five of them then run off into the forest to where the shadow creatures landed and transform into their Dreamix forms to properly combat them.

The fight quickly escalates once two of the shadow monsters surround Flora, Musa and Tecna, picking up speed and multiplying as they go, creating a tornado made of shadows that sucks the air from inside! Tecna and Musa quickly lose sight of Flora as she struggles to breath, while one of the shadow monsters slips out of the tornado and slithers in the direction of the ramp. Stella tries to task Aisha with getting Silke, claiming that she can handle the situation, but Aisha tells Stella to leave this to her and flies after the shadow monster that escaped. Stella then stands her ground against the shadowy tornado and flies off in an attempt to lead it away from any passersby. Unfortunately, she is caught by another one of the shadow monsters and dragging into the tornado, though, this proves to be a poor move on the monster's part, as Stella is able to completely destroy the tornado from the inside-out with a powerful burst of light. With her friends safe, Stella makes a quip about how light has one point over the shadows now.

Back at the International Snowboarding Competition, Silke is next to participate in the long jump. Two of the shadow monsters slip behind Silke and almost snatch her up until the they are pulled out of the building by Aisha's watery binds. With them gone, Aisha lands on top of the ramp and watches on as Silke descends the ramp, hoping that she makes the right choice. Just as Silke makes it to the ramp, she stops herself, effectively disqualifying her from the Competition and dropping her out of the running for WOW.

The rest of the Winx regroup with Aisha and are completely shocked with Silke's decision, however, Aisha believes that this only proves that snowboarding is not Silke's true talent. Flora then asks why the shadows would want to kidnap her if that were the case.

Meanwhile, with Evans and Gómez, the two continue to tail their suspects but are forced to look for another road across the mountain range. Gómez asks if they should also look for a cable car, so Evans hands him the binoculars to take a look for himself. Gómez does so and sees a broken cable car at the bottom of the pit between the mountains and comments on how they were lucky for missing the ride. Evans tells him to forget it and declares that they need to make it to the mountain just beyond them quickly, but Gómez doubts that they can in under a week. He then reminds Evans that his little ski trip comment was just a joke, but Evans insists that she never ever jokes around and tells him to get moving.

As for Bloom and Jim, it seems that the two have made it to their destination: the Watchmaker's hideout. Bloom comments on how the place looks to be abandoned until Jim reminds her that the tower belongs to a hermit and asks what she expected. Bloom jokingly lists off her expectations, like a "hello" or cup of hot chocolate, until she is interrupted by a voice coming from the tower claiming that neither of them are welcome here. A face peers out from a hole on the door, demanding that they leave, and Bloom explains that they have come a long way to get their. The man from behind the door claims that she should save her breath since she and her friend will be needing it on their way back, but Bloom tries to get him to slow down and insists that their trip is important. She tries to show him the broken Watch but Jim cuts in demanding that the man, who is actually the Watchmaker, tell them where his apprentice is if he continues being so unwilling to cooperate. The Watchmaker is shocked by Jim's demands while Bloom is confused as she had never heard of such a person, but Jim insists that he will explain later.

Just then, a voice from behind the pair laughs at them and comments on how naive they all are. When the pair turns around, they find a mysterious man in a grey coat and are quickly surrounded by his Zombie Pirates emerging from the ground below! Jim and the mysterious man seem to know each other and the man asks if Jim would be willing to play with him and his friends for a little while, just like old times.

12- "L'Orologiaio" ("The Watchmaker")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

Still surrounded by the Zombie Pirates, Bloom and Jim wait to see who will make the first move. It turns out that one of the Zombie Pirates is the first to make a move as it swings its rope-like limbs at Jim, which he is able to dodge by backflipping behind Bloom. Jim then asks the Zombie Pirates when they started taking orders from the mysterious man, to which the man claims that they started ever since Jim betrayed them. Jim insists that he has always been faithful to their cause but the mystery man refuses to believe him as his Zombie Pirates continue to close Jim and Bloom in until they are standing back-to-back. The man then places his hand on the ground, conjuring up a familiar octopus-shaped symbol just under Bloom and Jim's feet as the ground shakes. Bloom proposes that they get out of the way and the two of them leap onto some spires sticking out of the Watchmaker's Tower as a teal-colored explosion blows out from the symbol and onto the Zombie Pirates.

Seeing that the two are gone, the mystery man and his Zombie Pirates look around in a daze until Jim reveals his location by demanding to know what the mystery man has been promised; what the Queen plans to reward him with. The man does not answer Jim and simply orders for one of the Pirates to attack, which it does so and manages to grab hold of Jim's right arm. Bloom assists Jim by using her fire magic to unravel the Zombie Pirate's rope-like appendage and Jim thanks her. Bloom gives a thumbs up in response and watches her opponents, believing that she will be able to hold out without having to transform and reveal herself.

Jim continues on with the mystery man, insisting that they can defeat the Queen and free the World of Dreams if they work together, but it seems as though his words are not getting through as the Zombie Pirates continue to attack and he is forced to evade them all by leaping to other parts of the Tower and its surroundings. Frustrated, the mystery man orders his Zombie Pirates to capture both Jim and Bloom according to the Queen's demands. And so, the Zombie Pirates begin to target Bloom as well, forcing her to leap to other parts of the Tower to evade capture.

The two of them are able to evade their attacks for a while until the Watchmaker tries to stop everything by shouting. Unfortunately, this tips off the mystery man to his presence and the Watchmaker begins to shout for them all to go away. Instead, the mystery man places another one of his octopus symbols onto the door of the Tower, causing the Watchmaker to flee further inside, but once the symbol detonates, the door remains intact.

From inside the Tower, the Watchmaker begins activating all of the locks to keep himself safe. This causes old oak bars to lock the door shut from the inside, making it so no one will be able to enter, and so the Watchmaker retreats farther into his Tower.

Elsewhere, Evans and Gómez arrive at a wooden bridge and run across it without showing any signs of stopping... That is until Gómez stops to catch his breath and to talk to Evans, but Evans simply shushes him. Gómez then looks up and sees a tower where a battle seems to be taking place so Evans signals for him to keep going. The two of them run behind a pile of rocks and look on at the battle going on in front of the tower. Evans is in total disbelief as to what it going on and declares that the situation has spiraled out of their control thanks to the supernatural monsters in the area, however, when she turns around, Gómez is gone! It turns out that Gómez tried to use that as a cue to finally leave but he is pulled back in by Evans, who insists that they need to analyze the scene in more depth as their case has only started to get interesting. As the two of them continue on closer to the tower, Gómez makes a disgruntled claim over how he will never be able to understand women detectives.

Soon enough, the two of them split off near the entrance and hide just across from each other. Once in position though, Gómez hears laughing nearby and tells Evans that if she wants to be a hero, she should not laugh as it is too excessive. Unfortunately for him, that was nowhere close to Evans' laugh and it turns out that one of the Zombie Pirates caught sight of him! Startled, Gómez falls onto the ground as he tries to step back and the Zombie Pirate leaps down to capture him with his rope-like limbs. Evans calls out to Gómez but gives away her position and ends up being captured alongside him.

Meanwhile, in his trailer, Ace screams into his phone wanting to know if the Winx have lost their minds as he has never seen a talent as klutzy as Silke and points out that she got 100% negative feedback from the televoting. Stella takes all of this to mean that Ace is doing well until Ace declares that WOW will be put on hiatus until the finals are scheduled to air. Stella tries to get answers out of Ace, surprised by his decision, but he simply tells her to call in the finalists and to make sure not to forget any of them.

Back at the Watchmaker's Tower, the fight between them and the Zombie Pirates has left Bloom and Jim to escape to the very top of the Tower. The frustrated mystery man tells his Zombie Pirates not to let him down, prompting all five of them to start scaling the Tower to get to them. The pair begin to realize the disadvantage they have as Jim points out that the Zombie Pirates turned out being stronger and faster than they had originally thought and, as the two of them anxiously await the next round of attacks, Bloom realizes that she will need to call in the Winx for back up.

The Winx continue to stand around in Switzerland still confused as to what their next move should be now that WOW's been put on hiatus. Stella claims that they wasted too much time with Silke and insists that she just is not talented, however, Flora reminds her that the shadow monsters still wanted to kidnap her and refuses to believe that it was just coincidental. Aisha believes that this means Silke has a talent that is not snowboarding but their deliberation is cut short by Silke approaching them and apologizing for ruining their show. That is when Stella's Winxwatch begins beeping as it is receiving Bloom's distress call, however, when Stella picks up, Bloom is barely audible as their is too much static. In that moment, Silke snatches the Winxwatch from Stella in taps it a few times until she claims that it should work now. Just as she had said, Bloom's voice is audible to all of them as she desperately pleads for back up now that a tower is under attack. She is cut short by something that causes her to scream and the call cuts out, causing Stella to snatch her Winxwatch back and frantically try to get a response out of Bloom.

As it turns out, the Zombie Pirates are beginning to close in quickly on Bloom and Jim. They are running out of places to run and stamina to run with, so once they land on another unoccupied ledge, Jim pleads for Bloom to pull out any remaining tricks she may have. And so, with no other options, Bloom goes into her Dreamix, revealing her fairy identity to everyone in the area.

Once completely transformed, Bloom flies into the air to overlook the entire situation. She then notices a Zombie Pirate near the entrance of the Tower holding down Evans and Gómez and fires down at it with a fire blast, causing it to release the two detectives. However, being in her fairy form does not stop the Zombie Pirates from attacking, though, now that she can fly, Bloom has an easier time evading their rope limbs.

Now freed, Evans rushes over to Gómez's side to check if he is okay. Gómez confirms that he is but insists that the fairy currently fighting is not.

The mystery man orders the Zombie Pirates to capture Bloom now that he knows she is a fairy, insisting that the Queen would be even happier with this bit of news, so the four of them decide to focus their attacks on her. Bloom insists that they will never be able to catch her, but she must now evade the rope limbs of four Zombie Pirates. She is able to keep dodging for a while but, eventually, one of the Pirates manages to grab hold of her left arm. She uses her fire magic to unravel the limb and tries to fly away, only to be caught by her left ankle next and forced back down. Another Zombie Pirate catches hold of her right arm and the two others follow suit, grabbing hold of her remaining limbs. As Bloom struggles to break free, the mysterious man looks on with a sinister grin. Unbeknownst to him, though, Jim is sneaking just behind him as he begins to gloat.

Bloom continues to struggle free of the rope limbs but is constantly dragged farther down towards the ground by her captors. As she continues to be lowered, the mystery man advises her to not worry about Annabelle anymore as she will be seeing her very soon, shocking Bloom.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Switzerland, Stella is still struggling to get Bloom to answer her Winxwatch. Musa is insistent on hurrying to Bloom's side as her last words during the distress call were that a Tower was under attack. Tecna deduces at the Tower in question is the Watchmaker's Tower and this catches Silke's interest as she begins to worry for her uncle, Werner. Shocked, Aisha asks if the Watchmaker is really Silke's uncle and Silke confirms this, even adding that she was also his apprentice for many years. Aisha then realizes that this explains what Silke's true talent is, watchmaking and repairs, but Silke only laments on the fact that no one likes her and she wished to become a snowboarding champion to change all that. Aisha tells Silke that she cannot try to be someone she is not and insists that she should make the most of her natural talents. Silke begins to perk up and Flora claims that they need Silke's talent now to save their friend and asks if Silke can bring them to her uncle. Silke happily obliges and tells the Winx to follow her.

Back at the Tower, Bloom is finally lowered onto the ground as the mystery man approaches her. Jim remains hidden in the ice crystals behind the man and Bloom demands to know why the Queen is doing all of this. The man simply states that Bloom will be able to find all of that out for herself soon enough and insists that the Queen loves talking to her new victims. Bloom takes notice of Jim in his hiding place and Jim signals for her to stay quiet as he makes his move. He quickly rushes behind and leaps at the man's back but, just as he is about to land a kick, the fifth Zombie Pirate returns and snags his leg, further binding down his arms to keep him restrained. With both of them now captured, the mystery man laughs and calls Jim predictable, but Bloom insists that he is not alone as she focuses her magic one more time. The man does not seem fazed and even taunts Bloom, but Bloom warns for him not to try her as she believes she is capable of anything. To test this, the man lays down another octopus symbol just below him, this one much bigger than all the others, and explains that the Watchmaker's Tower and everyone around it will explode if she hits it.

Just then, golden dusts swirls around Bloom and almost knocks her unconscious. The Zombie Pirates release their binds on Bloom now that she is stuck fighting off sleep as the mystery man laughs and taunts her. Eventually, Bloom can barely keep her eyes open as the man opens up a portal with his own Magic Watch and claims that the both of them will be going on a trip alone into the World of Dreams. As he reaches out to drag her, Bloom's eyes finally close shut as she finally falls asleep.

In another part of the Swiss Alps, Silke and the Winx are trekking through the various mountains. Stella asks Silke why she cannot just call her uncle on the phone and Silke reveals that her uncle does not have a mobile line. Stella asks if this means he does not have a smartphone and Silke confirms that he does not. Neither does he have a tablet or even a TV. In usual Stella fashion, she claims that she may end up fainting after hearing all of this on top of having to trek up a mountain to meet him.

Later, the girls come across a wooden bridge where Musa notices a strange, octopus-shaped symbol just before them. Silke insists that they need to hurry if they wish to save their friend and her uncle but she stomps on top of the symbol, causing it to explode and send her plummeting into the pit below. With no other choice, Flora focuses her magic to create magical vines that catch Silke and bring her back up to where they are safely. Flora then uses the vines to create a new bridge across to the Tower and helps Silke up once she is done.

It does not take long for them to reach the base of the Watchmaker's Tower where Silke begins to question who the Winx really are. Before telling her anything, Flora has Silke promise that she can keep a secret. Once the group makes it to the front door of the Tower, Aisha warns Silke about how they cannot go around telling everyone that they are fairies. At least she would have except she is spoken over by Evans who comes out of a corner with Gómez and reveals that they know now that the Winx are fairies just like Bloom. Stella makes an offhanded joke about their secret no longer being secret only to be quickly overtaken by Flora, wanting to know if the detectives know what happened to Bloom. That is when Evans reveals that she and a guy named Jim were captured and Gómez goes on to explain that the pair was ambushed. Musa asks if they know who their friend's captors looked like and, after a brief bit of shock, Gómez boils their appearances down to looking like zombie pirates.

The Winx quickly recognize Gómez's description and suspect that they were the same Zombie Pirates that attacked them yesterday. As Gómez continues to explain that they all disappeared through a type of portal, Musa notices something shining just under the snow and grabs it, asking if the men who took their friend used a Watch to open the portal much like the one she found. The detectives immediately recognize the Watch and Gómez guesses that it must have fallen off of their friend's person as she was being taken away. That is when Musa reveals that watches much like the one she holds have the ability to open a passageway into the World of Dreams, but the detectives are just taken aback by everything that is going on. Aisha then jumps at the chance to use the Watch now that they have it but, when Musa opens the lid and shows it to the Winx, they find that it is broken. Luckily, they have an expert watch repair woman on their side this time, though, Silke insists that the damage looks complicated. Stella asks if this makes it more complicated than their Winxwatches, but Silke is not ready to give up yet and proposes that they see her uncle as he may know what to do. Unfortunately, as Gómez later points out, the Watchmaker barricaded himself within his Tower during the fight from earlier. Silke laments on the fact that her uncle never accepted the fact that she was passionate about snowboarding but he has always managed to trust her, and she pulls out a key to prove it.

Soon enough, Silke lifts all of the barricades from the insider with her spare key and lets everyone in. Once they are all inside, Gómez shuts the door behind them as Silke leads everyone farther in.

As they are all entering the second room, it shakes for a quick moment and Silke begins to scold herself for it. She reveals that the Tower's defense mechanisms have activated and explains that said mechanism is made out of a complex system of gears and pulleys. Musa asks if it works like an entire theft device, which Silke confirms and explains that her uncle may have activated it as a method of protection.

The group inches closer to a control mechanism at the far end of the room as Silke tries to warn them to be careful where they step, though, unfortunately, Stella steps on a trigger before she can finish her warning. Just then, a large pendulum swings from the wall across from them and Aisha manages to push Stella out of the way before it can hit her. Silke then rushes to the control mechanism and works all of the various levers and buttons in an attempt to shut off the defenses. She insists that she needs a few more seconds but more and more traps begin to activate, making it harder for the Winx and detectives to avoid. Musa asks if Tecna would be able to help Silke bypass the system but Tecna is also helpless in this situation as the Watchmaker's system is mechanical, not digital. The group continues to dodge trap after trap, but Gómez gets caught behind the bars of one of them, getting himself trapped. Evans insists that they need to keep the gears from moving so Aisha uses her magic to take one of the bars from Gómez's small prison and bends it into a pointed U-shape. With it, Musa uses her powers to throw the bent bar into the gears but it is not enough as the bar snaps easily under the weight of the gears. Realizing that she needs to end this now, Silke looks around the controls to see if she had missed one and finds a lever she had not pulled yet. She then pulls down the lever and is able to stop the gears, which effectively stops all of the traps in turn. Aisha thanks Silke on a job well down when she reenters the room, but Silke insists that it is all thanks to what her uncle taught her. Just then, a man's voice from above claims that this is the first time Silke has ever paid him a compliment and the Watchmaker descends from a large pulley to meet the group.

Ecstatic, Silke hugs her Uncle Werner and makes she that he is alright. He insists that he is but is surprised at all of the people Silke let inside. Silke assures him that everything is fine as they are all her friends but the Watchmaker stubbornly insists that he lives where he lives because he likes being alone. That is when Evans and Gómez approach the elderly man and Evans introduces the two of them as she explains that they are on a rather special investigation. Gómez assures him that they will not be taking up too much of his time and Tecna approaches the Watchmaker, claiming that it is important that he fix their broken Watch. However, the Watchmaker still does not understand. Gómez, Stella and Aisha then explain that the Watch opens a portal into another world, a world full of talented kids like Silke who are being held prisoner and must be saved. With this, the Watchmaker takes another look at the broken Watch as Tecna explains that the hand on the clock moves counterclockwise when the Watch is functional.

After some more glances, Stella asks if the Watchmaker can fix it and, unfortunately, he does not think it will be possible as the Watch is not mechanical. Refusing to let it end here, Silke reminds the Watchmaker that he told her that every broken watch can be fixed and takes the broken Watch to try and fix it herself. Laying the Watch on a workbench, Silke lists off the things she knows about it: that it was built backwards, has one hand instead of two and moves counterclockwise. She then comes to a realization that the only way to fix the Watch is to do it in reverse and does just that as she claims that just because something looks different does not make it inherently wrong. With just a bit of tinkering, Silke is able to make the hand move again!

Silke hands the fixed Watch back to Tecna who praises her for her amazing talent. Aisha then tells Silke that it is thanks to her that they will be able to go into the World of Dreams and save their friend and all the trapped talents. The Watchmaker also comments on how talented Silke is and tells her that he is so proud of her. Silke insists that it is all because she learned from a real master and wishes the Winx luck on their journey.

Now, with a functioning Watch in their hands, Tecna uses it to open up a portal into the World of Dreams and the six of them enter it as the Watchmaker, Silke and the detectives watch on in awe. Just before leaving, Flora waves Silke goodbye.

13- "La Caduta della Regina" ("The Fall of the Queen")
Airdate: November 4, 2016

Now in the World of Dreams, the Winx try to figure out where they should start looking. Little do they know is that they are being watched by something within the waters of the shore and, soon enough, the Crocodile Man juts out of the water to attack. The Winx are able to dodge the monster's attacks and Aisha launches a fist-shaped waterspout at it. Unfortunately, her attacks are not strong enough, so Flora takes it upon herself to bind him down with her vines. Tecna notices that indirect magic attacks are more effective on the Crocodile Man, but the monster breaks free of those vines and flees into the forest, prompting for the Winx to give chase.

As the chase down the Crocodile Man, the forests thickens with every passing moment, which causes Aisha to land on the ground to try and survey her surroundings properly. The Crocodile Man takes this as an opportunity to attack but Stella catches sight of his movements and protects her friend with a shield made of light. The Crocodile Man tries to break down the shield, only to be blasted back, so he goes back into hiding. With no sight of the monster, Musa proposes that she expand her sense of sound to find his location. She does so and quickly picks up on the monster's hiding spot on the other side of the forest. Naturally, Musa takes it upon herself to lead the Winx but, after a short while, she is no longer able to pick up on the Crocodile Man's whereabouts. Oddly enough, Musa claims that it is the forest that is interfering with her magical powers. The Winx decide to land to try and figure out where both they and the Crocodile Man have ended up now as their surroundings have been changing too drastically within such a short time.

On Earth, Ace demands to know where the Winx have disappeared to now and is furious as they have been tasked with bringing back all of the WOW Finalists. His assistant reminds him that the show does not start for another hour but this causes Ace to throw out both of his makeup artists as well as his assistant as he angrily wonders why he must do everything himself. He then puts himself in charge of searching for the Winx.

Back in the World of Dreams, Musa realizes that the Crocodile Man led them into a trap; a magical maze with no discernable way out. Little do they know is that they are being watched through a magical mirror by none other than the Queen of the World of Dreams who seems satisfied with her henchman's latest work.

Sitting proudly on her throne surrounded by her faithful shadows, the Queen is approached by a man and the Zombie Pirates, now with a more human appearance, who present her with the fairy and the traitor she tasked them with apprehending. The Queen praises them on a job well done and taunts her latest prisoners. Bloom quickly recognizes the Queen's voice and asks Jim why she sounds exactly like Annabelle, to which Jim reveals that she stole it from her. Originally, the Queen could not speak a word and the Queen continues Jim's explanation by claiming that she favored Annabelle's beautiful voice over all of the others. She gets up from her throne and approaches the two as she goes on over how she had her shadows do the rest, even though a certain someone tried to kidnap Annabelle for himself before she did. Once again, Jim insists that he was trying to protect Annabelle and Bloom asks Jim where he would keep the talents he would kidnapped. Jim seems surprised by her question but the Queen walks by them and orders that they follow her if they wish to find out.

Soon enough, the Queen leads them to a strange-looking tree with dangling buds and each bud holds each one of the talents she had her henchmen kidnap. Annabelle, Yu; every single one of them, and they all begin to bang on the walls of their prisons once they catch sight of Bloom.

In another part of the World of Dreams, Tecna gets an idea: to have the Winx fly as fast as they can right after her and not stop. The girls do as Tecna says until their pathway is mysterious closed off and they end up back where they started. After taking another quick look around them, Tecna conducts a technomagic scan of the area and her findings reveal that they are trapped within a magical labyrinth, one where the plant organisms change dynamically according to their every movement in real-time. This means that there is no possible way for them to escape the maze and, in that moment, wooden tendrils begin to poke out from the walls to attack. The Winx gather around in a circle to cover each other's backs as Aisha advises for them to get ready to attack, however, since the tendrils are a part of nature, Flora tries to communicate with them first. Using her affinity for nature and plants, Flora telepathically tells the forest that she and her friends only wish to rescue more of their friends from the Queen. In response, a distorted voice demands that Flora prove that she stands against the Queen, but Flora cannot do that, so instead, she tells the voice that she is doing this to allow it to look into her heart to see that she is being sincere with her words.

After she finishes communicating with the forest, Flora reveals to the Winx that it possesses a fairy-like energy much like their own and suspects that the Queen tried to corrupt it once before. She informs the girls of what she tried to do and Tecna asks if the Spirit of the Forest believed her words. Suddenly, there is a flash of green light and a fairy covered in green vines and leaves appears before them. She welcomes the Winx, wishes them well on their mission and clears their path, allowing them to leave her labyrinth and lead them directly to where Bloom should be. Musa praises Flora on a job well down and the five fairies promptly fly in the path laid out for them. Meanwhile, the Queen boasts about her collection of talents; about how she can sing just like Annabelle and fight as fiercely as Yu. Bloom tells the Queen off by claiming that stealing other people's talents for one's own gain is wrong, and this angers the Queen, causing her shadows to become enraged as well. Bloom continues on to say that the Queen should strive to be her own self and not steal other people's abilities, and the Queen's rage grows as she sends out her shadows to surround the group. Jim tries to get Bloom to stop enraging the Queen but Bloom continues on with her rant until Jim shouts for her to stop once more. The Queen pulls back her shadows and seems to have gained a more lonely look on her face as she tries to explain herself, but Bloom cuts her off, insisting that the talents she stole belong to each of her prisoners, as well as the dreams that come with those stolen talents. The Queen claims that all of the talents she has stolen act as payment for the dream that was taken from her, which piques Bloom's interest and causes her to ask the Queen of what this dream was. Unfortunately, the Queen cuts the conversation short by declaring that now is the time for her to make her newest dream come true and has her shadows entangle Bloom, putting her in another bud with the other talents so that she may take her powerful fairy magic. Bloom tries to escape her bud prison, but unfortunately, her magic quickly leaves her and enters the Queen.

With everyone distracted, Jim shakes out a hooked knife from his pant-leg and kicks it up, cutting his ropes and freeing his arms. He then places the hood of his jacket over his head, activating the invisibility cloak, to give him the advantage in combatting the Queen. Frustrated, the Queen tasks her warriors with finding Jim as she contacts the Crocodile Man, calling him to her side. As requested, the Crocodile Man rushes over and manages to catch Jim, disabling his invisibility and restraining him with his tail. The Queen approaches the newly captured Jim and expresses how tired she is of dealing with him, mentioning how Jim has lied to her and actively worked against her. Jim insists that he only wanted to protect Annabelle but this went against the Queen's commands. She then calls over the Shaman to asks what he has to say to Jim and the Shaman describes Jim to be a traitor with no hesitation. The Queen then has the Crocodile Man release Jim to allow him to properly face his accuser, and the Shaman reveals that it was thanks to Jim's actions that he was banished to Earth, however, Jim stole the Shaman's Magic Watch and kept returning to the World of Dreams, so the Shaman now wishes to make him pay. Jim pleads with the Queen to give him another chance but she has run out of any to give and agrees with the Shaman's accusations. As she leaves, she orders for the Shaman to feed Jim to the Crocodile Man.

Jim tries to escape the Crocodile Man when suddenly, the Crocodile Man is blasted away and Jim quickly finds himself surrounded by other fairies: the Winx! He tells the Winx of how Bloom had been captured by the Queen and hung up in the tree buds with the rest of the talents. And so, to keep them away from her collection, the Queen orders her Zombie Pirates to attack. During the fight, Tecna is able to imprison two of the Pirates, so the Queen orders for the Shaman to join in, but he does not have his magic stones as she took them from him. The Queen conjures up one of the Shaman's magical stones and demands that he show her where his loyalty lies. As the fight continues, the man in the blue knit cap lays down his octopus-shaped symbols all throughout the surrounding forest. These symbols release electric blue-colored tendrils that connect together as a webbed trap, which Stella is unlucky enough to fly into. The man taunts Stella by telling her that pirates also know how to use magic, but he is quickly done away with by Aisha swooping in and knocking him out with a watery fist. This also breaks Stella out of the web trap but gets her soaked.

Just then, the Crocodile Man charges at the pair of fairies, but he is trapped inside a sound barrier that constantly echoes the sound of his own roar until he passes out. Musa then walks into the scene, revealing this to be her handywork as she explains that while the Crocodile Man may be immune to direct magical attacks, he is not immune to the bounceback of his own roar. Tecna manages to entrap all of the defeated henchmen in technomagic cages, but the Winx are caught off-guard by a stone being thrown at them and exploding into a tornado!

Musa promptly expands her sense of sound to locate the source of the tornado and quickly finds where the Shaman is hiding. Flora tries to conjure up her vines until Musa stops her and blows a bit of sound waves to knock the stone out of his hand. She then signals Flora who summons up a small flower that closes up its petals on the stone, effectively trapping it and stopping the tornado. The Shaman desperately tries to get the stone out of the budded flower but soon finds himself trapped within another one of Tecna's technomagic shields like the rest of his allies.

With all of her henchmen defeated, the Queen expresses her frustration over their uselessness as she enters the fray. Using the mass of shadows she stands on, the Queen sends out her army of shadow monsters to defeat the Winx once and for all. The Winx are barely able to destroy shadow after shadow as waves of them keep coming. During the fight, the Queen attacks Aisha and disposes of Flora's vines with ease thanks to Yu's Kung Fu. She then attacks Tecna and breaks down her shield. Catching sight of Musa, the Queen brings out a small golden bell and uses its ringing to incapacitate the musical fairy. Luckily, Flora catches Musa and safely lowers her to the ground as the Queen laughs maniacally over being unbeatable. Tecna quickly recognizes her voice as Annabelle's, whereas Aisha recognized the Kung Fu moves she used as Yu's. Stella joins her friends and launches a beam of light at the Queen, but it is easily blocked. Flora then conjures up multiple vines to completely entangle the Queen as Aisha claims that she has been dealt with.

The Queen compliments the girls on their strong fairy power only to proclaim that hers is stronger and she uses Bloom's fire magic to break free of the vines. She then sends out a fiery wave of magic which knocks each and every one of the Winx to the ground. With all of them unable to fight back, the Queen brings out her bell once again and uses its ever-reverberating ringing to get rid of them all. It then cuts to Gardenia, where Ace is scrambling through an outdoor restaurant as he rants over how he should have fired the Winx by now. Inside the restaurant, Vincenzo tries to order each of his chefs to get their dishes right as he works on his own. Ace rushes into the kitchen to tell Vincenzo that he needs to hurry over to the WOW Finals, but Vincenzo is adamant on finishing his cooking before then. Ace then starts asking if he knows where the Winx are and, obviously, Vincenzo does not know and makes a smart remark on how they are not anywhere in his kitchen.

Returning to the World of Dreams, Jim has managed to climb the strange tree and cuts Bloom free from her bud prison. Now free, Bloom thanks Jim and flies off to save her friends from the Queen's wrath. Speaking of the Queen, she is still reveling in torturing the Winx with her ever-echoing bell's ringing until Bloom knocks her to her feet with a fire blast. As she falls, the Queen drops her bell, which is sent rolling into the forest and just under Jim's feet. The Winx quickly recover with the bell gone and surround the Queen who tries to fight back but finds that she can no longer speak. Bloom then turns back to the tree and finds that all of the talents' bud prisons are popping open and releasing them. The Winx combine their powers to safely catch each of the talents and, once on the ground, Annabelle rushes to Bloom's side and thanks her for the rescue. Bloom notices that Annabelle's voice has returned to her but, at the same time, the Queen, hidden behind a tree, disposes of Tecna's shields and releases her henchmen. Although, rather than stay by her side, the Zombie Pirates and the man in the blue knit cap run off, with the man calling Jim "captain" under his breath. The Shaman accuses them all of being cowards and betrayers as even the Crocodile Man is fleeing, but he believes that he and the Queen can still take their revenge. The Queen then uses her cape to escape with the Shaman and her shadows.

With all of them gone, the Winx divert their attention back on the talents who all thank the Winx for rescuing them. Jim steps into the picture and tells Bloom that he will be staying behind in the World of Dreams, trying to track down and permanently defeat the Queen. Bloom assures Jim that if he ever needs help, they will be with him and Jim uses the Magic Watch to open a portal back to Earth for everyone. Bloom then thanks Jim for everything he has done before they all leave.

Back on Earth, Ace breaks into the Winx's Loft to look for clues as to where they went. During his search, their TV turns on and WOW starts without him. To his surprise, the Winx and all of the talents have made it on stage and are ready for the finals! Bloom and the Winx tell Ace to hurry on down to the studio as he is running terribly late.

A short while later, as the talents interact with each other and walk around, Gómez reports that Annabelle has been found and no foul play was involved, ending the missing person cases. He and Evans assure Bloom that they made no mention of magical shenanigans and wish everyone luck on their way out.

Bloom approaches Annabelle and asks if she and the others are all ready for the final round. Annabelle insists that they are after everything they have been through and Sophie agrees. Just then, the WOW theme song plays as Ace arrives to properly introduce the start of the WOW Finals. As everyone is enjoying themselves, Ace looks back at Bloom and welcomes her back to WOW, with Bloom telling him that it feels great to be back.

Back at the strange tree in the World of Dreams, Jim sits on a wooden throne toying with the bell in his hands as the man in the blue knit cap apologizes for allying himself with the Queen and promises to never betray him again. Catching the bell in his hand again, Jim tells the man that their history goes back a long way and that he has always been the same rascal, scallywag and fortune hunter as he is now. He then steps up from the throne to approach the man who has now started shaking as he begs for forgiveness. Jim places his hand on the man's back and calls him a true pirate just like himself. He then walks away from the man as he proposes that they put "the old crew" back together again and the man jumps up adding that it should be under the old captain who has now become the young captain.

Jim continues walking back to the throne as he looks back at the golden bell, recounting how ruthless the Queen was, but they can still thank the Queen, Tinkerbell, for many things, like making him much younger and healthier. As he seats himself back on the throne, Jim asks the man named Smee if he agrees, which he naturally does. Jim then asks if Smee will be with him and Smee confirms this, calling Jim "Captain Hook" in the process. Seated in the wooden throne, Jim declares that Neverland will soon be his and laughs.

14- "L'isola che non c'è" ("Neverland")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

The episode opens up with Jim and Smee wandering the forests of the World of Dreams. With Jim's back turned to him, Smee brandishes a hidden sword and tries to strike Jim down before he can even notice what is going on. Though, Jim pulls out his hidden hooked knife and is easily able to knock Smee's sword out of his hands. Jim then tells Smee that the element of surprise is an essential thing and Smee agrees, praising his captain on executing such a smart move. The two of them continue walking through the forests, unaware of the shadowy figures that are lurking behind them.

After hearing a strange noise, the pair turn around to see if they are being followed but do not find anyone, so Jim continues what he was saying by adding in that surprise is what they have over the Queen as she does not even know that they are plotting against her. Unfortunately for them, though, it seems like Tinkerbell is going to find this out soon enough.

Meanwhile, it seems that there is a concert taking place in Gardenia. As it turns out, Annabelle, Louise, Musa, Stella, and Aisha are performing together as a band for a very welcoming crowd while Bloom and Tecna survey the concert from the surrounding buildings trying to stop it from being ruined by a mysterious intruder. Tecna pulls out her smartphone and looks over various photos of broken instruments as she tells Bloom that all of the attacks have been carried out by the same person. Bloom believes that their true challenge will be catching the saboteur while keeping their magic hidden, but she is interrupted by Tecna, who seems to have spotted her. Though they are not properly in position yet, Tecna asks if they should move in now. Bloom tells her that they must hold off for now to see what the saboteur's target exactly is and leaps onto another rooftop to change positions.

Bloom eventually makes it to the park across the street from the concert and spots a woman in black approaching the stage. Flora notifies Bloom of this through her Winxwatch and, when tasked to slow the woman down, Flora uses one of the stage lights to blind and disorient her. Bloom praises Flora on a job well done but just as she is about to proclaim the next step of their plan, the lights go out!

The lights flash back on after the brief blackout and, naturally, everyone is either confused or displeased. Annabelle looks back at Louise disapprovingly until Louise claims to not be at fault for it this time. Tecna then informs Musa that the blackout was nothing more than a voltage drop and tasks herself with fixing it from the rooftop of a building behind the stage. Meanwhile, Bloom tells the girls to continue playing music and the five girls do as they are told, with Musa insisting that the audience barely noticed the blackout. Unfortunately, though, another short blackout happens as the woman in black makes it closer and closer to the backstage area.

Flora informs Bloom of this and Bloom tasks her with intercepting the woman again, so Flora descends from the top of the stage to do so. Just as she is about to use her magic, Flora hears the voices of two people growing closer and is forced to hide behind a tree until they pass by. Meanwhile, another blackout occurs and it is much longer than the two before it.

Stella claims to have an idea but Aisha and Musa insist that she hold off on it as Tecna is still trying to fix it. That is until Tecna tells them that she cannot fix the voltage drop and cannot figure out why.

Flora jumps out of her hiding spot to intercept the woman in black but she is nowhere to be found, all while Bloom continues to rush backstage from behind the crowd. However, it seems as though the woman in black has made it backstage where she finds that most of the electrical cords have been cut and pulls out her phone, claiming that nothing can save the Winx from a bad review.

In that moment, Stella subtly uses her magic to switch the lights back on and the girls continue their concert, much to the woman's surprise and displeasure. That is when Bloom leaps in front of the woman's camera and greets her. The woman, Venomya, accuses Bloom of using terrible budget cuts to create dangerous situations, and Bloom admits to this, claiming that it creates suspense for the audience, all while subtly using her magic to restore the electrical cables while Venomya is distracted. When Venomya looks back at the cables, she is surprised and infuriated by how they have mysteriously been fixed, and Tecna and Flora enter the frame, with Flora claiming that their little stunt worked great.

As the five girls continue their performance, the cheers from the crowd grow louder and catch Venomya's attention. She then turns back to Bloom and insists that just because they started a pop rock band as talent scouts does not make them talented musicians, and Bloom rebuts this by claiming that all six of them hold passion and talent; adding that they have been touring the world for years now. Tecna jumps into the argument by claiming that the audience's cheering proves how talented they are but Venomya is adamant in her opinions and tells the three fairies that the crowd's cheers are nothing compared to a critic's review. She then promises that the Winx will be hearing from her again and leaves. With Venomya gone, Bloom, Flora and Tecna finally get a moment to breath. Bloom comments on her relentlessness as Tecna reveals that Venomya has been to all of their concerts ever since they started touring and has not missed writing negative reviews of them either. That is when Musa, Aisha and Stella regroup with their friends, with Stella insisting that it was her special light touch that saved the day, when suddenly, the six of them are engulfed in a flash of light and forced into a new form!

The Winx soon find themselves in a dark blue space in a new fairy form! Bloom quickly realizes that their Dreamix has evolved into something new and she is interrupted by a strange, distorted voice that seems relieved that the Winx answered its call. Bloom asks the voice who it is and a familiar green fairy appears before her. Flora also recognizes the distorted voice and the Forest Spirit goes on to introduce herself as the Spirit of the World of Dreams. She adds that her world is in danger and that the Winx are the only ones capable of saving it. Aisha flies up to the Spirit to ask why they are the only ones who can do such a thing and she answers by revealing that the Winx's powers are drawn from dreams themselves. The girls seem to be surprised by her answer and the Spirit goes on to explain that without dreams, fantasy could no longer exist and, without fantasy, fairies would cease to exist. Stella is certain that she would still exist if that were to happen until the Spirit clarifies that her magic would not and believes that the Winx's new Onyrix powers are proof of this fact. Tecna then realizes something and asks the Spirit why she did not inform them of this the last time they were in the World of Dreams, to which the Spirit claims that it is because the Winx are ready now—ready to save the World of Dreams as well as the dreams of everyone in the world.

In another part of the World of Dreams, Jim and Smee are attacked by a shadow monster and every time Jim cuts it down, it duplicates into more monsters. Once there are four of them, they begin to surround the two pirates until they are washed away from a random tidal wave from the sky! The two pirates turn their heads to the source of the wave and find that the Winx have come to their rescue. Stella quickly notices Smee and demands to know what he is doing here since he was the Queen's servant once before. Flora cuts Stella off, insisting that they have no time to chat, and conjures up a few vines to bind down the shadow monsters. The shadow monsters easily break free of the vines and dart towards Jim and Smee, who Tecna plants a technomagic shield around as protection. The shadows try to break down the shield but when they cannot, they dart towards Tecna, only to be blown back by a blast of light from Stella.

The Winx continue to combat the shadow monsters until they all join together and form a giant, more monstrous shadow. Jim asks for Bloom to let him out, insisting that he can help, but Bloom simply tells him to stay put as she and Tecna rush off to combat the giant shadow. Bloom and Aisha pelt the giant mega shadow with various blasts of fire and bubbles and have it chase them through the forest until Flora flies in to trap it in gigantic wad of vines. The three of them celebrate their victory but it is short-lived as the mega shadow breaks free of its viney prison.

In another part of the forest, Tecna is protecting herself from two shadow monsters who are constantly pounding down on her shield. Bloom swoops in and disposes of the shadow monsters with fire blasts and Musa destroys two more with a powerful blast of sound, leaving the mega shadow to be dealt with.

The Winx are forced to dodge the mega shadow's destructive attacks until Stella plants herself firmly in the middle of its path. As the rest of the Winx fly away, Stella prepares a ball of light in her hands and the mega shadow engulfs her. The Winx fear for Stella's life until the mega shadow begins to glow in a gold light and explode, leaving Stella as the victor.

The girls all praise Stella for making quick work of the monster as Jim and Smee applaud them for putting up such an impressive fight. Once they land, Smee formally introduces himself and claims to be with "The Captain," pointing to Jim. Jim clarifies that Smee left the Queen's side to join theirs and Smee agrees, calling Jim "Captain" again. Naturally, the Winx are confused by this and Bloom asks Jim why Smee keeps calling him that. Smee apologizes and clarifies that he is with Captain Hook, only to get himself an irritated glare from Jim, who properly tells the girls that James Hook is his full name. He then goes on to claim that he and Smee are grateful for coming to their rescue, but he is cut off by Smee once again, who goes on to reveal to the Winx that Jim was once a fearsome captain who battled it out with Peter Pan in the past. Jim finally yells out Smee to knock it off and Smee apologizes. Only growing more and more confused, Bloom asks Jim what this is all about, so Jim agrees to let the Winx on his and Smee's big secret since they have earned their trust, and the pair lead the Winx to the strange tree that the Queen once used to imprison the talents.

The Winx either stand around or sit at the base of the tree as Jim reveals that the denizens of the World of Dreams have another name for it: Neverland, and continues on to explain that Peter Pan became a hero to all of the people of Neverland, except to the Pirates, who knew who Peter truly was: a young man who was only interested in himself. However, Tinkerbell believed that Peter could do no wrong as she had fallen in love with him and believed that they would be together forever. That was until one day when Peter suddenly left Neverland never to return.

Bloom asks the pair of pirates of what became of Tinkerbell and Jim reveals that she became bitter at Peter Pan's leave to the point where all of her pure and good magic was corrupted and turned into dark magic. With this, Bloom begins to realize that Tinkerbell and the Queen of the World of Dreams are one in the same.

In another part of the World of Dreams, Tinkerbell watches the Winx, Jim and Smee through a mirror on her wall as the Shaman insists that losing one fight does not mean they have lost the war. Tinkerbell is frustrated with how many of her shadows the Winx have destroyed and the Shaman tries to make her feel better by insisting that they can just make more, but Tinkerbell has realized that her shadows will always be too weak to pose as a threat. The Shaman tries to ease Tinkerbell's worries by notifying her about their new power, which is almost ready, and once it is cast, nothing will be able to beat her—the Winx will be defeated and Tinkerbell will stand over them as ruler of the World of Dreams once more. Tinkerbell finally cracks a smile, touched by Shaman's undying loyalty and devotion for her, and claims that the Shaman must know what it is like to have been betrayed. She then goes on to claim that Peter betrayed her and his betrayal was all the fault of one miserable little girl—that girl being Wendy Darling.

When asked who Wendy Darling is, Jim reveals that she was Peter Pan's last friend and the one who convinced him to leave Neverland. That is when Bloom get the idea to find Peter Pan in the hopes that his return will make Tinkerbell into a good fairy again, but Jim is not so sure. He tries to wish the Winx luck on their search anyway but Smee interrupts him by doing so himself. Bloom then promises the notify Jim of their progress as they warp out of Neverland and back to Earth.

The Winx find themselves back behind the stage of their latest concert where they are quickly ambushed by their fans who swarm them for autographs and pictures. The Winx gladly indulge their fans as Annabelle and Louise join the girls. Bloom asks how long they have been looking for them and is surprised when Louise responds by saying that their search only lasted for one or two minutes. Annabelle then thanks Bloom and the Winx for performing with them on the first leg of their world tour and hugs Bloom as Louise insists that they will never forget it. Stella claims that they will never forget it either as she basks in the adoration of her fans.

The next day, the Winx arrive in London and begin their search for Wendy Darling. As Aisha maintains their speed, Tecna shows the Winx her findings. Wendy Darling resides in London and runs an orphanage in the center of the city. Aisha takes a quick glance at the picture of Wendy near the steering wheel and asks the Winx what their cover story is going to be. Flora chuckles to herself as she realizes that they cannot just waltz up to Wendy and start asking her about Peter Pan, and Stella adds that they would be too recognizable if they did so thanks to their rapidly-spreading fame. Tecna proposes that they wait until dark to talk to Wendy but Bloom insists that they need to act fast and cannot afford to waste any time. That is when Stella tells the Winx to leave everything to her as she is apparently a "master of persuasion," only for her "mastery" to completely backfire once they make it to Wendy's orphanage as her butler informs the girls that she is not around and will be out in the city all day.

Stella tries to get the man on the intercom to let them in but he insists that they can just come back tomorrow and hangs up. Now annoyed, Stella mimics the man's last words in a frustrated manner, almost like a child, so Bloom proposes that they just split up to search the city.

Flora and Stella search the outside of the Concert Hall and inform the girls that their sector is all clear with no sign of Wendy Darling. Musa proposes that they widen their search area until Bloom notifies the girls of a possible sighting of Wendy heading due north and follows her closely behind. She lets the girls know that the woman she has spotted possesses the same hair color and height as Wendy Darling and stops once she sees what looks like a shadow monster slither towards the woman as she rounds a corner. Bloom tries to follow the woman before she ends up in danger, but she is stopped by a crowd of men celebrating as they get off the bus.

The woman continues down her path until she feels something or someone is stalking her. She looks around the alleyway to find anyone and, when she turns around, she finds herself face to face with two shadowy monsters! She tries to run away from them but trips as they draw nearer. With nothing left she can do, the woman shields herself for any oncoming attacks but, luckily, she is rescued by Bloom, who blasts away the shadow monsters with a pair of fireballs. The monsters explode in a bright flash of light and, once the light dissipates, the woman seems to have vanished, but not with the monsters. Bloom then decides to inform the girls of what has transpired and Tecna deduces that the woman Bloom rescued was none other than Wendy Darling, as the shadow monsters would not target any random person. Bloom also adds that she lost sight of the woman but knows that she will be heading to Kensington Park. Stella praises Bloom on her being able to figure out their target's next location, but Bloom advises for the Winx to proceed with caution as the presence of the shadow monsters only serves as proof that the Queen is watching them from afar.

Little does she know is that her suspicions prove to be right on the mark as Tinkerbell and the Shaman are watching their progress through the Shadow Mirror. Tinkerbell admits to Bloom being the hardest of the Winx to defeat and the Shaman agrees, listing off many of Bloom's notable traits like her intelligence, focus and bravery. Tinkerbell smirks to herself as she proclaims that everyone has a weakness and that she has found Bloom's.

Back in London, Wendy walks through Kensington Park with her children, all of whom are enjoying themselves. Wendy leaves her kids when she catches sight of a statue closeby and looks longingly at it as if it reminds her of an old friend. As she gets lost in her thoughts, a patch of shadows appears before her group of children and takes the shape of a group of bunnies that run farther into the park. The kids are immediately fascinated by the bunnies and chase them. Once Wendy begins to walk away from the statue, she realizes that her children have disappeared and calls out to them, all while they continue to chase the bunnies until they make it to a bridge.

Once all of the children are at the center of the bridge, Tinkerbell uses her dark magic to call upon a large number of her shadows to swarm them as they shake the bridge about. Wendy quickly catches sight of this and runs towards her children in an attempt to get them off the bridge. Unfortunately, the children are too frightened to go forward with Wendy's plan and the bridge gains larger and larger cracks the more the shadows swarm them.

The Winx run towards the bridge from the other end as Bloom advises for them to act fast and only use their magic subtly as they cannot risk blowing their cover. And so, Stella uses her light magic to take control of the street lamps surrounding the bridge to scare the shadows away. This only makes the situation worse, however, as the shadows break apart the bridge even more in their escape, so Flora and Aisha use their powers over plants and Morphix to repair the bridge to the best of their abilities.

Just as the situation seems to have been handled, a shadow appears behind Bloom and it wraps around her relentlessly before Stella can stop it. Bloom is able to break herself out of the shadow's grasp, but it seems to satisfied with itself as it now looks more like Bloom! The Bloom-shaped shadow looks back at her with a sinister smile and disappears farther into Kensington Park.

Bloom and Stella turn their attention back to Wendy and her kids who all seem to have calmed down as they are back to their cheerful and energetic selves. Bloom approaches Wendy, calling her by name, and introduces herself and the Winx as "girls who are trying to keep everyone's dreams alive" and need her help to do it.

Later, back at Wendy's house, Wendy tells the girls that it has been years since she had last seen Peter Pan and she hands them his last letter to her. She is fully aware that Peter no longer wanted to keep touch with her and is sure that he has his reasons for it but still seems hurt by the choice.

Meanwhile, back in Neverland, the Shaman summons up a strange pendant as the Bloom-shaped shadow returns through the mirror. The Shaman reveals that the shadow had stolen some of Bloom's essence and Tinkerbell uses the Shaman's magical stone pendant to absorb the shadow. Using an incantation, Tinkerbell uses the shadow to create Vertigo, a being born from Bloom's darkest side.

15- "Il Figlio di Peter Pan" ("Peter Pan's Son")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

The Winx continue their world tour alongside Annabelle and Louise with their popularity skyrocketing as their albums fly off of the shelves and their performances are broadcast live in major cities like New York.

After their latest concert, Annabelle and Louise thank the Winx for bringing them unimaginable success and say their goodbyes as the Winx need to continue their world tour. Louise tells them that she and Annabelle will be taking inspiration from the Winx for their next concerts and is sure that they will get to perform on-stage together again someday. Stella even promises on it.

The next day, the Winx go about their daily routine as Bloom reads Peter Pan's last letter to Wendy and, from the letter, she comes to learn that Peter Pan used to call himself "Peter Barrie" and has a son named Matt. Bloom asks Tecna if anything has come up in her search when using "Peter Barrie" as a clue but nothing comes up, not even an email. Aisha deduces that Peter's final letter was that of a farewell and asks Stella what she thinks, only to realize that she was not paying attention as Stella just asks Aisha if she should add more yellow spray paint to her canvas. Flora approaches Tecna, trying to hand her one of her cupcakes as she guesses that Peter may have been in danger, but Tecna believes that he simply wanted to vanish into nothing, pushing Flora's hand back. Bloom comments on how he did such a thing perfectly if that were the case and Musa, removing her headphones, claims that the only clue to Peter they have left is his son, Matt. Tecna then searches of the name "Matt Barrie" and finds that he had set up an internet profile just a few days ago. Flora jumps up excitedly over how lucky that was until Tecna corrects her, claiming that the red screen on her monitor means that incoming danger. She informs the girls an "FF Code" approaching them and Stella jumps in surprise, accidentally spraying a stripe of yellow paint onto Aisha. Bloom advises for the girls not to panic as they take their places while, in another part of the Winxmobile, Stella peers out of a nearby window and screams at the sight of five of "them" outside. Aisha looks out of another window and corrects her, pointing out how there are now ten of "them," and Tecna begins to panic, believing that they will never be able to get out of this situation. Things go from bad to worse once Stella shouts that there are now twenty of "them" outside and this turns out to be a crowd of their adoring fans that has surrounded the Winxmobile in the hopes of getting autographs from their favorite musicians.

Tecna turns to the girls and asks what their next move should be, to which Musa insists that they have a mission to carry out while Bloom believes that they cannot just let down all of their fans. That is when Flora gets an idea—one of which causes the Winx to dread what is coming next.

All large billboard showcasing the Winx's album cover rises from the top of the Winxmobile as Flora announces to the surrounding crowd that they will be hosting the Winx Club: Backstage event tomorrow. There, they will have the opportunity to meet each of their favorite bandmates and partake in personalized activities like watching Musa improvise, get tip on the latest fashion trends from Stella and take selfies with Tecna. Though they may not like Flora's plan, it did end up making the crowd leave, giving them the opportunity they need to start searching for Matt by nightfall.

And so, night falls and the Winx begin their search by leaping from rooftop to rooftop looking for clues. Strangely, London is completely deserted and fog begins to roll in, obscuring their fields of vision. Bloom advises for them not to lose their concentration but the fog becomes so thick that the girls can no longer see out in front of them. Bloom proposes that they stay close together but Stella runs out farther into the fog after promising to find them, leaving Bloom all alone. She calls out to her friends but is interrupted by a completely different voice calling her a fool, insisting that she cannot save her friends from "destiny." Bloom asks the voice of its identity, to which the voice claims to be Vertigo, her worst nightmare, and belts out a manically laugh. Bloom looks around for the source of the voice and suddenly comes face-to-face with the face of a young girl painted white with black sclera and a slasher smile. Bloom jumps back, falls over the side of the bridge and the next thing she knows is that she is in her bed screaming.

Flora switches the room light on as the rest of the Winx surround Bloom to comfort her. The only thing Bloom knows is that she had just experienced a very realistic dream and explains this dream to the Winx. Musa jumps from her bed, demanding to know why everyone is up so late as she cannot sleep with the lights on, and Bloom explains that she just had a bad dream. Musa repeats the fact that she cannot sleep with the lights on until Aisha snatches her headphones, revealing that Musa somehow sleeps while blasting music.

Meanwhile, Vertigo returns to Tinkerbell's lair and proudly proclaims that Bloom has become frightened and confused thanks to her. After belting out another one of her maniacal laughs, Vertigo insists that she has now got Bloom on the ropes, only for Tinkerbell to question her confidence. Vertigo flies towards Tinkerbell, swearing that she knows Bloom more than anyone else due to being her Nemesis, but Tinkerbell is not convinced and tells her that simply waking Bloom up in the middle of the night will not be enough to defeat her. Vertigo then claims that her powers do not stop at that and Tinkerbell demands that she show it. Vertigo belts out another laugh and flies towards Tinkerbell again to proclaim that she does not take orders from anyone; not even a "little fairy" such as Tinkerbell "playing" the role of Queen. The Shaman tries to step in, insulted by Vertigo's disrespect, but Tinkerbell holds him back as Vertigo goes on to claim that she can break anyone's confidence, even Bloom's. Belting out another laugh, Vertigo disappears in a flash of purple light, most likely to continue tormenting her target.

With Vertigo gone, the Shaman expresses his disdain for the Nemesis, but Tinkerbell believes that she may be able to find and exploit Bloom's weak point if she knows her as well as she claims to.

In the morning, the Winx hold their Winx Club: Backstage event as planned and, unfortunately, Venomya does not miss it either and remains eager to find just one thing wrong to write a negative review about. The Winx struggle to entertain all of their many fans while engaging in the events Flora planned out for them. In one of the crowds, a mysterious girl that looks eerily like Bloom stares at her for a short while before walking off. Bloom notices the girl and chases after her after catching a glimpse of what seemed to be a webcam hidden in her hair. Aisha tries to stop Bloom to ask if she confirmed their next gig in New York but Bloom runs off, worrying her.

As she continues to search for the mystery girl, Flora informs the crowd that Bloom writes the lyrics to their songs, but she has no time to stop by and indulge their fans and runs off to another part of the park. Aisha chases after Bloom when she dashes by her again and, when she makes it close to the stage, Bloom spots the mystery girl hanging from one of the beams! She climbs up the metal bars to the top of the stage to pull of the mystery girl but, once she grabs hold of her hand, the girls face turns white like the one in her nightmare and she pulls her down! Luckily, Aisha catches Bloom's arm before she falls and pulls her back up to safety.

After a bit of rest, Aisha asks Bloom what happened and Bloom tells her that a girl was trying to save a girl who was in danger, but this only makes Aisha even more confused as she did not see anyone other than Bloom at the top of the stage.

Later that day, the Winx find themselves in front of a literary café that Tecna claims to be Matt's workplace as it was the only fact that she was able to find about the young man online. Bloom praises both Tecna and Stella on their research and disguises respectively as Stella reminds them of their cover story as door-to-door pastry chefs and thanks SuperSue for helping her make their outfits. Aisha confirms that the Winxmobile is parked in place and so the Winx step out to enter the café. Flora stops Bloom before she gets off the Winxmobile to express her worries, but Bloom insists that she is fine and that their mission takes priority.

Once inside the café, the Winx showcase their various pastries, one of which is a sample of Victoria's sponge cake, but the owner of the café claims that they are already serving the same cake. That is when Flora uses a tiny bit of her magic to change the strawberries on top of the cake to blackberries, causing the customers to crowd around for a slice. With their cover successful, Bloom and Musa search farther into the café for Matt or any clues that may relate to him.

Bloom looks in between some book of various bookcases, only to suddenly come face-to-face with Vertigo, causing her to scream and recoil back. Musa rushes to Bloom's side as Bloom claims that "she" is playing with her but, when she turns to face Musa, she finds Vertigo looming behind her, sneering directly at Bloom. Bloom rushes at Musa to push her away from Vertigo and, once she gets up, Musa asks Bloom who could be behind her. Bloom claims that there was a strange presence but Musa insists that she would have heard someone if she were around thanks to her strong hearing. Bloom quickly becomes insulted by Musa's claims and demands to know if Musa thinks she was just dreaming all of this up and Musa is unable to answer. She then helps Bloom onto her feet as the two of them continue their search for clues.

The two of them quickly come across a pinboard with a picture of a man spilling over various drinks onto a couple of customers marked down as "The Worst Waiter of the Year." Bloom asks if Musa thinks that the waiter could be Matt but she is not sure so she uses her Winxwatch to scan the photo and send it to Tecna.

Meanwhile, at the front of the café, Stella shoves a slice of sponge cake into the owner's mouth to keep him from suspecting them too much. He admits to the cake being delicious and wishes to know what kind of flour was used, so Stella pulls Flora over to answer his queries. Tecna gets a notification on her Winxwatch and asks Musa and Bloom if they were able to find anything, to which Musa informs Tecna if the picture she sent, requesting that Tecna check to see if it matches any photos on Matt's online profile. Tecna lets them know that she will proceed with the necessary analysis.

As Bloom continues to inspect the picture, she spots Vertigo's shadow looming behind her and turns around to combat her tormenter. However, she finds one of the café waiters behind her instead, frightened by her reaction as he had just asked what they would like, and Musa is also surprised by Bloom's behavior. Regaining her composure, Bloom tells the waiter that they are in search of Matt, and the waiter quickly become irritated by the mention of such a name and calls Matt a "good for nothing." The waiter proceeds to clean up some tables as he insists that the two girls are wasting their time, revealing that Matt was fired just two days ago and, when Bloom asks why he was fired, the waiter goes on a tirade on Matt's negative traits until Musa stops him. The waiter goes on to explain that Matt had thousands of ideas but did nothing at all, had dreams of seeing the world and wanted to work at the local theatre first. The waiter then trounces off in a huff and, later, the Winx exit the café, where Bloom informs them of what hers and Musa's findings.

Just then, Bloom is interrupted by the sound of screeching tires approaching them and turns to see Vertigo speeding the Winxmobile directly at her! Leaping to the other side of the street, Bloom warns the girls of the oncoming vehicle, but the Winx stare back at her with worried looks on their faces. Bloom slowly approaches the Winxmobile to find that it is just Aisha behind the wheel letting them know that they are ready to move out and lowers her head as she heads inside.

A short while later, Bloom finally tells the Winx of the strange presence that has been haunting her all day. Aisha demands to know who this presence is, to which Bloom reveals it to be a girl who calls herself "Vertigo" and tells them of how she had seen her while inside the literary café and even driving the Winxmobile. Musa points out how they did not see anyone and Bloom admits to all of this being in her head, but still cannot understand how or why. That is when Tecna chimes in, suspecting that Bloom has not gotten any sleep recently, and Bloom confesses to being afraid of dreaming. Stella sits herself next to Bloom and gently places her hand over hers as she gives her a reassuring look. Flora then insists that they need Bloom to help find Matt and Bloom agrees to do so after letting out a short sigh.

Once night falls, the Winx hop from rooftop to rooftop and scale multiple buildings until they make it to the Concert Hall where, once they are all inside, begin to search for any clues relating back to Matt. Bloom tries to keep all of the Winx close but they are all adamant about splitting up into groups of two as it would help them cover more ground. Flora and Aisha search the lower levels of the theatre in the stands, trying to figure out why Matt would want to become its keeper, as Musa and Tecna ascend to the upper levels and come across a fresco mural on the ceiling.

The two of them engage in some banter as Musa deduces that the fresco may be hiding a key clue to Matt's whereabouts and asks if Tecna can scan it with her Winxwatch. Tecna does just that as her scan picks up five key points of the fresco mural.

Bloom and Stella check the stage area of the theatre and the two hear a sudden flickering noise. Stella takes it upon herself to check as Bloom tells her not to go too far, believing that it may be dangerous. Just then, a strange bit of fog surrounds Bloom, just like how it did in her nightmare, and Vertigo's voice tells her to consider the fog as nothing more than a little deja vu. Thrown into a panic, Bloom asks if any of her friends can hear her until Vertigo reveals that none of them can see her. Bloom then vows to find her and Vertigo claims that Bloom must deal with her on her own unless she wishes to put her friends in harm's way.

Bloom runs into another part of the stage area in search of Vertigo and puts her guard up as she continues down a small space. Aisha rushes to Bloom's side trying to ask where she ended up, but when Bloom turns around, she finds Vertigo sneering at her, so she knocks a ladder at her and runs off. Stella tries to stop Bloom, insisting that there is no need to run away, but all Bloom sees is Vertigo and uses her magic to send nearby items flying at her to defend herself. Stella manages to avoid getting hit and asks Bloom why she is attacking her but Bloom retorts by asking why she keeps harassing her and runs off.

In another part of the theatre, Aisha has gathered the rest of the Winx to explain what has happened and Stella joins them, telling them the exact same thing. Flora insists that they put a stop to this power until Tecna wonders how they can do such a thing if they cannot even see it. Musa deduces that only Bloom can deal with it and Stella calls Bloom over. When Bloom arrives, she is on-edge, enraged, and sees her friends as five visions of Vertigo sneering and mocking her. One of the images asks if Bloom can recognize any of them and Bloom suddenly finds herself face-to-face with a mirror image of herself who explains that she must protect her inner self if she wishes to be rid of Vertigo. Bloom tries to clear her head as one of the five Vertigo tells Bloom that they are worried for her in Flora's voice but nothing works. The five Vertigo tell Bloom to trust them as her inner self demands that she destroy them before they surround her. Bloom summons a bit of her fire as she prepares to attack until the Vertigo with Flora's voice tells her not to trust her eyes but her heart as they are her friends. Bloom then closes her eyes as her inner self continues to shout at her to destroy the five Vertigo until she refuses. When she opens her eyes, Bloom can see the Winx for her they are and identifies her "inner self" with her nightmare, her Nemesis. Vertigo tries to keep up the act, insisting that she is Bloom, but Bloom has come to realize that Vertigo is a part of her that she must accept.

Channeling all of her fire magic, Bloom blows Vertigo's disguise away and Vertigo begins to taunt Bloom, believing that she cannot simply "accept" her Nemesis. Bloom is confident that she can as Vertigo is just a projection of her innermost fears, and so she sends out a wave of her fire to surround her.

The flames quickly engulf Vertigo as Bloom opens her arms out wide, invoking the shadow of her stolen essence from within her Nemesis and accepting it back into her being. Now without Bloom's essence, the flames completely burn away at Vertigo until she is no more, leaving Bloom with her peace of mind.

The Winx quickly surround Bloom to make sure she is alright now and, when asked who Vertigo was, Bloom reveals that she was an agent sent by Tinkerbell. Tecna asks if she is sure about that and Bloom confirms this, revealing that Tinkerbell was watching them from the beginning and claims that now she wishes to attack them. Musa realizes that they are no longer safe outside of the World of Dreams and, as Bloom stated, Tinkerbell watches the Winx from her mirror and seems to have chosen her next target. She then turns to a stalagmite behind her and conjures up Musa's Nemesis, Banshee.

16- "L'uomo Alligatore" ("The Alligator Man")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

Jim and Smee continue walking through the forests of Neverland, with Jim proudly strutting about while Smee is shaking like a leaf. Jim tells Smee that fear is just a state of mind and Smee agrees but cannot help but fear what may be coming their way. Jim turns back to Smee, fixes up his posture and continues strutting about. Smee continues to look around, still frightened, so Jim takes it upon himself to "test" Smee's bravery by running off and hiding to see how he fairs alone. Smee cautiously looks for Jim as Jim calls out to him, telling him to use his guts to find him, and continues encouraging Smee even after he fell on his face.

As Smee continues to frantically look for Jim, he sees a large shadow in the distance and calls out to it, mistaking it to be Jim. That is when Jim leaps down from a tree behind Smee to confirm that the shadow is not him until the two pirates are suddenly attacked by the Crocodile Man!

Meanwhile, in London, the Winx try to figure out the meaning behind the fresco mural from the theatre inside their Winxmobile. Bloom notices that the mural resembles the night sky and wonders whether it may be a map or code. As Tecna arranges some pretzels around on a table, Stella asks if she has any apps that could crack the fresco's code, to which Tecna explains that she would need to know more about the code itself in order to use her devices on it. She claims that she is trying to categorize the patterns and groupings on the fresco through her arranged pretzels until she is cut off by Stella snatching and eating one of the pretzels as she claims that technology and logic would not be very useful now. She then claims that it would be much better to just wish on the stars of the mural and, when told to do quietly, Stella loudly whispers her wish until Tecna tells her that she was only being sarcastic.

Suddenly, the Winx feel a strange feeling and find themselves warped back to Neverland in a bright blue light. Once they have all been summoned, the Spirit of the World of Dreams informs them that someone in Neverland is in danger and needs their help right away, however, the Winx still need to search for Matt.

The Winx are immediately warped back into the Winxmobile and Bloom, though reluctant, decides that they should split up and tasks Aisha, Flora and Tecna with answering the Spirit's distress call while she, Stella and Musa stay behind to continue their search. And so, Aisha's group promptly transforms into their Onyrix and enter the World of Dreams, where they find the Crocodile Man pursuing Jim and Smee.

As the two pirates continue to outrun their pursuer, Tecna reminds the girls that the Crocodile Man is immune to direct magical attacks. Aisha insists that they can just take him down using indirect magic and has Flora fly off in a different direction so that she can catch the monster off-guard, while she and Tecna fly after him. They eventually catch up to the Crocodile Man and direct his attention away from Jim and Smee as they begin their attack. Tecna tries to attack the Crocodile Man while he is occupied by Aisha but she is knocked to the ground by his powerful tail. Aisha tries to fly in to Tecna's rescue as the Crocodile Man looms over her but rather than attack, the Crocodile Man runs off in another direction. Confused, Tecna wonders if the monster somehow missed his attack on her, but things only get even more confusing when the Crocodile Man stops in his tracks, almost as if he wants the two fairies to follow him. Tecna and Aisha do just that until the Crocodile Man stops again to deflect flying boulders; boulders that are being launched at him by Flora's vines.

Eventually, Flora launches enough boulders at the Crocodile Man to completely bury him in them. Unfortunately, the pile of boulders do not hold the Crocodile Man under them for too long as he bursts himself out of the rubble and runs off with the three fairies on his tail.

Back on Earth, Bloom, Stella and Musa still struggle to crack the code hidden in the fresco mural. Bloom begins to doubt that the mural may be a code and lists down a few possibilities as Musa dances around the Winxmobile jamming to her music until Stella gets her attention. After being told of the urgency behind their current problem, Musa takes her headphones off, directs her attention onto the mural and guesses that it may be a map towards another famous place. Stella jumps from the couch, ecstatic at Musa's idea, and volunteers to compare the mural to some of the most famous star maps they have, only to get distracted by comparing the mural to a map of Hollywood. After Bloom scolds her for it, Musa tries out many other maps of the planet's major cities like London and Rome. Eventually, the three of them find a map that matched up with the mural and each of its stars: Paris, and the Notre Dame Cathedral lines up perfectly with the mural's brightest star. And so, the three fairies travel to Paris in the hopes that they will be able to find Matt at Notre Dame.

The Winx soon make it to Paris and Musa is quick to take in all of the sights and people of the city as she walks around with her headphones on.

Meanwhile, in the World of Dreams, Tecna, Flora and Aisha continue to follow the Crocodile Man into a murky swamp and watch cautiously as he enters a cave in the middle of it. Aisha believes that the Crocodile Man is trying to lure them into a trap of his, but Tecna is certain that he may have another reason as he ran away from her after knocking her to the ground, completely missing an opportunity to attack as if it was on purpose. Flora suspects that the Crocodile Man wants to show them something inside the cave and Aisha claims that there is only one way to find out what that thing could be.

Back in Paris, the Winxmobile has been surrounded by eager Winx Band fans and while Bloom and Musa are worried about this hampering their mission, Stella is loving all of the attention. She goes on about how they can film a rockumentary of their band and volunteers to show their fans to a rare backstage tour; all of which cause Musa to miss Flora's outlandish ideas. Stella then continues to question Musa, mimicking that of a reporter, until Bloom tells her to focus on their mission at hand: finding Matt. Once Stella has settled herself down, Musa proposes that one of them slip away as the others stay to keep their fans busy. Bloom agrees with the idea and tasks Musa with that role, as she has the best stealth skills out of the group. She then tasks Stella with keeping their fans busy for long enough to keep from having them see Musa slip away and Stella ecstatically takes on the role by stepping out of the Winxmobile to greet the crowd.

Later, once night falls, Musa begins hopping from rooftop to rooftop on her solo mission to locate the Notre Dame Cathedral. It does not take long for her to get to a point where the Cathedral is within her sights but, little does she know is that Tinkerbell, the Shaman and Tinkerbell's newest creation are watching her from the shadows.

The Shaman believes that Musa will be at her most vulnerable this time but Tinkerbell is not so sure as she is a strong and fast fighter. The Shaman tries to assure Tinkerbell by claiming that Banshee is stronger but Tinkerbell, still skeptical, simply looks back to her mirror to see the events unfold.

And so, Musa continues sprinting and hopping closer towards the Cathedral as Banshee quietly looms close behind. As she edges closer towards the Cathedral, Musa wonders if there is another clue nearby. Leaping from a nearby building, Musa uses her magical grappling gloves to scale the walls of the Cathedral until she makes it to the roof and spots a stone carving of a boy looking at stars with what looks like a telescope. Suddenly, a voice calls out from behind her, demanding to know who she is and when she turns around in surprise, Musa finds a young boy with curly brown hair staring back at her.

Musa quickly takes notice of the strange telescope-looking device in the boy's hands and asks if he is Matt, to which the boy asks how she was able to learn of his name. Musa approaches Matt as she claims that she just needs to talk but something startles Matt and causes him to run off. Musa tries to chase him but when she reaches the ledge he jumped off of, she finds that he is too fast for her, and so she tries to use her Sound Harmony to keep track of his movements. She is able to do so with relative ease, using his sound to see where he is headed, until Banshee slips behind Musa and releases her own sound waves to disrupt Musa's Sound Harmony, causing her to lose sight of Matt. To make matters worse, she fears that someone nearby was the cause behind the mysterious interference she received.

Her Winx Watch begins beeping, showing an incoming call from Bloom and, as she turns to answer, Banshee slips back behind Musa to attack. Musa turns back around and catches sight of Banshee who releases a strong gust of wind from her mouth. Musa quickly leaps the nearby rail to escape her Nemesis' attack and ducks behind a corner as she follows. Luckily, Banshee flies by her hiding place, which gives her the chance to call Bloom in for backup.

Bloom finally receives the call and Musa fills her in on her findings while, unfortunately, giving away her location to Banshee. Bloom tries to get more answers out of her but all Musa can say is that her mind hurts before the call cuts out.

Meanwhile, in the World of Dreams, Aisha tells Flora and Tecna that they need to go into the cave ready for anything that it may have in store for them. Before they enter the cave, they hear a noise approaching them, and Flora takes the initiative by conjuring up a few vines. Aisha demands to know who is coming towards them and it turns out to be Jim and Smee coming to warn them about their current location: the Enchanted Swamp. He goes on to explain that the Queen cursed the swamp to use as a prison for the most terrifying creatures in all of Neverland, including the Alligator Man, the Crocodile Man's brother. Flora realizes that the Crocodile Man led them to the Swamp to free his brother and the three fairies waste no time heading into the caves as Jim lets them know that he and Smee will be guarding the opening of the caves in case the Queen sends in her shadows to attack.

As the three fairies fly deeper into the depths of the caves, the slimy mud covering the walls drips onto them from the ceiling. Flora notes that the mud is rather sticky and Tecna adds that its stickiness is messing with their wings, making it harder to fly. Aisha proposes that they walk instead but, when they land onto what seems to be solid ground, they sink into waist-deep mud and have to trudge through it as more of it drips from the ceiling. Eventually, the three fairies make it to a large room in the caves where the Crocodile Man stands in front of a cage made of stalagmites and stalactites entrapping his brother.

As they continue trudging closer to the Crocodile Man, Flora senses something strange coming from the mud but does not try to lag too far behind her friends. Soon enough, Tecna calls out to the Crocodile Man, asking if he needs their help, and the Crocodile Man turns his head towards the imprisoned Alligator Man, who turns to look back at the three fairies. Believing their issue to be simple, Aisha claims that all they have to do is blow apart the spires of the Alligator Man's "cell," but Tecna stops her before she can attempt to do so, believing that something is wrong here. She goes on to ask where the jailer to the Swamp Jail could be until Flora claims that the jailer is here and quiets them down to listen to their surroundings more closely. The three of them listen in on their surroundings and come to hear stranger sounds that they did not notice before. Aisha asks what these could be and Flora identifies them to be akin to that of a heartbeat and breathing sounds, revealing that they are inside someone.

Suddenly, strange mucusy tendrils with bug-like heads emerge from the surrounding mud to attack. Aisha is almost attacked by a few but the Crocodile Man swats them all away in time with his tail, showing that he is no longer an enemy. Aisha then dodges another one of the tendrils but it simply zooms past her to grab hold of Tecna's waist. Aisha and Flora are quickly grabbed by tendrils themselves as the Crocodile Man tries to outrun three of them. Luckily, Aisha breaks free of her tendril and tries to fly away but the mud from their attackers hampers her attempts and causes her to be caught by another tendril. She is able to slip away again but now she is surrounded by five of them, so Tecna struggles to conjure up a technomagic shield to keep her friend safe. Unfortunately, the shield quickly breaks down and as Aisha is grabbed by yet another tendril, Flora tries to use her magic to do away with them, only to see that her vines cannot survive in the mucusy mud.

Tecna suggests that she try to communicate with the caves since it is a living creature and Flora tries to do so but cannot as the creature is a being created by magic, not by nature. Soon enough, the battle takes a turn for the worse when the tendrils grab hold of the Crocodile Man and drag him into the cave walls, completely absorbing him. Aisha tries to get away and almost does, only for her foot to get grabbed and pulled into the walls as well, with Tecna and Flora following suit. Now trapped within the walls, the three fairies struggle to break free as they are being slowly absorbed.

Back in Paris, Musa continues trying to outrun Banshee on one of the roofs of the Cathedral until Banshee uses her powers over air and disruptive sounds to rip the roof's tiling off to use them as projectiles. Musa is able to dodge this attack so Banshee stops to use a more focused wave to launch the tiles. Musa is barely able to dodge this wave and struggles to beat back Banshee's disruptive sound waves from her head as Banshee amplifies them enough to cause the nearby gargoyle statues to completely explode. Banshee continues to chase Musa down as Musa tries to find her weakness before it is too late. She then stops on another part of the Cathedral to face Banshee, only to be caught off-guard when her Nemesis removes her mask to blow her off of the roof with a powerful gust. Luckily, though, Musa is able to grab onto a ledge from a lower part of the Cathedral, but Banshee quickly catches up to her and readies yet another scream.

In another part of the city, Bloom and Stella rush to Notre Dame to answer Musa's distress call before it is too late.

As for the other half of the group in Neverland, the three fairies now have all but their heads and hands absorbed by the walls of the cave. Aisha simply closes her eyes, almost as if she is accepting her fate, as Tecna and Flora continue to struggle until all three of them have been completely consumed.

17- "Sirene sulla Terra" ("Mermaids on Earth")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

Musa continues to run throughout the Notre Dame Cathedral from Banshee as she tries to look for her weakness until she is eventually cornered on one of the spires.

Meanwhile, in the Enchanted Swamp, Aisha breaks Tecna and Flora as well as the Crocodile Man and Alligator Man out of the cave's mud using her magic. Once safely outside the caves, Jim and Smee return from the forests but the Crocodile Man remains apprehensive towards them. Jim clarifies that it was the Queen who imprisoned his brother, not them, and Flora flies in between them, claiming that they must put their personal issues past each other now that they are on the same side against the Queen. The Crocodile and Alligator Men agree to join forces with the Winx and Pirates and, with everything now resolved, Tecna believes that they can return to Earth to continue the search for Peter Pan's son. However, after hearing this, Jim accuses the Winx of wasting their time chasing "an impossible dream" as the World of Dreams continues to suffer, but Flora is certain that Tinkerbell will become the good fairy she once was once she sees Matt. Jim reluctantly admits that the Winx may be right in their plan but still thinks that it is too much of a gamble as they do not even know where Matt could be.

Back in Paris, Musa barely manages to dodge another one of Banshee's supersonic screams and runs to the top of the highest roof to try and confront her. Luckily, Bloom and Stella arrive just on time to help but are rendered useless when Banshee blows them off of the Cathedral before Musa could warn them of her attacks. Musa charges in to try and attack Banshee but her magic does not do anything and she leaves herself wide open for retaliation. Letting out another one of her supersonic screams, Banshee knocks Musa into the roof but one of the wooden tiles flies onto one of the Cathedral bells, causing it to ring out and give her pain. Musa quickly takes notice of this, realizes that Banshee's weakness is harmonious melodies and uses her magic to control the Cathedral bells, using them as large instruments to further torment Banshee with their melodies until she explodes.

With Banshee gone, Musa rushes to Bloom and Stella's side to inform them of the good news. As they try to figure out what happened, vines spring out from under the leaves they are resting on and gently lower them down to the ground, revealing that Flora, Tecna and Aisha have returned from their mission in Neverland. However, just as they are about to continue their search for Matt, they are whisked back into Neverland by the World's Spirit, who claims that Neverland needs their help once again.

The Spirit explains that three mermaids who resided in the Mermaid's Lagoon escaped to Paris after Tinkerbell cursed it, turning it into the bleak and murky place that the Winx see in the image the Spirit shows them. She goes on to explain that the mermaids can assume human form and make it a habit to charm people just to have fun, but the Earth cannot house them, so the Winx must drive them back into Neverland where they belong.

Immediately after the briefing, the Winx are warped back to Paris and Stella takes the lead, claiming to have an idea. Though, unbeknownst to them is that Tinkerbell and the Shaman have already sent out one of her many shadows to spy on them. Tinkerbell reflects on how Bloom and Musa were able to defeat their Nemeses but believes that Stella will not be able to get off so easily. The Shaman naturally agrees as Tinkerbell audibly wonders what her weak point is. The Shaman then lists some of Stella's defining traits like her optimism and seemingly boundless energy and Tinkerbell makes a snide remark over how it seems like Stella only has good qualities.

Once the Winxmobile is parked, Stella takes it upon herself to teach the Winx about how mermaids feel and act so that it would be easier to find the ones they are looking for. Tecna proposes that they do so from inside the Winxmobile to avoid being rushed by eager fans, but Stella insists that they need to go out and search the city and claims that they can hide within the crowd to avoid being noticed altogether.

And so, thanks to Stella's affinity for fashion, the Winx each don on tailormade disguises and explore the city of Paris in search of the trio of mermaids. As the six fairies walk around, Stella brings up how mermaids love being admired and suggests that they search for groups of girls who all cannot go without being admired or fawned over. The Winx trail closely behind as Stella weaves through the crowd in search of three girls in smart, classy and attention-grabbing outfits. She quickly comes across three girls who fit her mermaid qualifications but, after seeing how the girls avoided stepping into a nearby puddle, Stella dismisses the idea of them being mermaids.

Continuing on, Flora spots three girls and believes them to be the mermaids they are looking for due to their cheerful and carefree attitudes. Flora's suspicions are almost confirmed when one of them giggles after being splashed by water from a bubbler but, when the other springs from her seat with an annoyed look on her face, Flora quickly drops them from their list of potential mermaids and becomes discouraged. Bloom then asks Stella what a mermaid's real interests are and Stella goes on to list that they are charming, enchanting and love being praised; all of which seem to fit her more than anyone else. Aisha even comments on the similarities which Stella does not find to be funny until a dark-skinned woman with large purple hair passes by her to meet with two of her friends by a fountain in the center of the square.

Regrouping with her friends, the one with brown hair and red highlights talks about how everything around them is new and nice, and specifically mentions how it is nothing like "the lagoon."

Seeing the interesting-looking girls, Stella whispers to the Winx that she has spotted the mermaids. The three girls in question have now hopped into the fountain and are engaged in a water fight, splashing each other with water as they playfully giggle while the surrounding crowd stares in awe and intrigue. With the whole crowd's eyes on them, the girls coax them into joining their game, their eyes turning a suspicious purple color as they do so. Suddenly, everyone in the crowd finds themselves compelled to approach the fountain, making it impossible for the Winx to pass through.

The mysterious trio of girls' fun is put on hold once local officers rush in to get them out of the fountain, however, the girls leap into the waters of the fountain and disappear in the purple mist. This also causes the crowd to disperse and go about their normal routine, all while the officers search for the girls, confused as to where they could have disappeared to.

That is when Aisha approaches the fountain, places her hand on the water and, using her new Onyrix powers, is able to see that the girls used the water to teleport to a party somewhere else in Paris. Stella then begins to rattle her brains trying to figure out where the mermaids have gone to and quickly comes to the conclusion that they are now at a pool party after catching sight of a nearby billboard advertising one.

Later, once evening hits, the Winx arrive at the pool party where the mermaids have gone. Stella insists that their missions would be a lot more fun if they were like this one, but Musa just wants to find the mermaids and leave as quickly as possible, as she finds the place to be too crowded and the music to be terrible. The Winx then split up to search the crowd on their own.

In another part of the party, the dark-skinned mermaid charms a pair of boys she is dancing with into getting her something to eat. They quickly return, each with a plate of sponge cake, and the brunette mermaid takes one of the plates, believing that her friend would never finish both slices on her own. The blonde mermaid catches sight of a man drinking a strawberry smoothie and tells him of how much she absolutely adores them, to which the man replies by suggesting that she go to the counter to get one. Instead, the blonde mermaid approaches the man and repeats herself about how much she adores strawberry smoothies. This time, she charms the man into giving him his smoothie; all of which Stella sees and becomes increasingly suspicious of.

She then takes it upon herself to approach the trio of mermaids and ask if she can join in on their fun by making up a lie of being unable to find her friends. That is when the dark-skinned mermaid comments on Stella's "scratchy" voice, going so far as to claim that it almost pierced her eardrums, and the surrounding group of people begin to laugh. Stella brushes this off with a nervous chuckle and insists that she needs to scream over the loud music if she wishes to be heard. Unfortunately, the mermaids do not let up on Stella as the brunette one claims that she wishes the music were louder so that they would not have to hear Stella's voice. The surrounding crowd bursts out laughing once more, further hurting Stella's confidence, but she does not let that get to her and continues trying to grow closer to the mermaids by insisting that they go dancing. This only makes the mermaids laugh harder as they cannot believe that she would think they would go dancing with her. The blonde mermaid asks Stella rudely if she had even taken a look at her clothes, causing her, her friends and the charmed men to belt out in laughter, even to the point where Stella finds herself speechless as she is thrown into a painful childhood memory of two girls bullying her, using the exact same words as the blonde mermaid.

The girl in red goes on to point out Stella's "awful" appearance, ranging from her shoes to her hair, which even causes the younger Stella to nervously look at one of her pigtails. She tries to shove all of this aside by telling the two that she only wanted to eat lunch with them, but the girl in red dismisses this by asking if Stella is an idiot and makes it clear that she and her friend do not wish to eat lunch with a loser like her. The two of them then walk off, leaving Stella alone to cry, bringing Stella back to reality where she is crying alone as the mermaids pass by her, still laughing.

From her mirror, Tinkerbell catches sight of this and expresses relief over finally uncovering Stella's weakness.

Stella quickly recollects herself after hearing Flora call out to her, asking if she is okay, and Stella turns to meet Bloom and Flora to tell them that she found the mermaids. Unfortunately though, she lost sight of them after they passed by while she was overtaken by her emotions, but Bloom quickly finds them on the other side of the pool dancing as most of the party-goers crowd around them, charmed by their mermaid magic.

The three fairies soon regroup with Aisha, Musa and Tecna near the mermaids and find that they are also unable to get closer. Musa asks what they should do now and, after noticing the accumulating clouds, Aisha uses her magic to make it rain. The sudden downpour takes the crowd out of their trance and they quickly disperse, believing the party to be over. Once the mermaids notice their adoring crowd leaving, the dark-skinned mermaid charms a few men and dives into the pool, transforming into her true form. Her two friends quickly follow suit and the three of them charm the whole crowd into joining them inside the pool.

Musa fears that the rain may have only made the situation worse, but Stella does not thinks so and reveals to the Winx that the mermaids' charming powers are just too strong.

As the mermaids continue on in their fun, they take notice of one of the party-goers having really nice diving skills. Each of the charmed party-goers tries to outdo the others in diving skills until one of them leaps onto the gurdur holding up some party lights and falls into the pool from there. Impressed, the mermaids have the charmed crowd mimic this man, but the combined weight of the party-goers begins to cause the gurdur to shake and lose ground. Tecna wonders if the crowd has gone bonkers until Bloom chimes in to claim that they need to step in before someone gets themselves hurt.

As the party-goers continue on with their crazy dives, the dark-skinned, white-finned mermaid swims over to the DJ and charms him into playing better music. Once he does so, the mermaid returns to her friends and charmed crowd as the light-bearing gurdur begins to crack apart and give way. To prevent the entire crowd from being electrocuted, Flora uses her magic to try and support it with giant vines, however, she cannot hold it up for very long. Bloom shouts over how they need to get everyone out of the pool but Stella does not think they will be able to do so, as the crowd would not listen to them while they are still under the mermaids' charms.

That is when a portal into the World of Dreams opens up from within the depths of the pool, releasing the Crocodile and Alligator Men to terrorize the crowd into fleeing, freeing them from the mermaids' charms. The Winx quickly take notice of the brothers coming to help them while the mermaids are displeased with them and the Winx ruining their party. They then swim over to another part of the pool to escape with the fleeing crowd while the gurdur finally gives way and falls into the pool. With everyone safe, the Winx decide to pursue the mermaids but not without thanking the Crocodile and Alligator Men for their help.

The mermaids continue to flee from the pool party but are quickly met by the Winx suited up in their spy outfits. The dark-skinned mermaid tries to use the water from a nearby fire hydrant to blast them away, but Aisha easily dispels the water, causing the mermaids to realize that the Winx are fairies. The brunette in red suspects that they were sent by the Queen to force them back into their old Lagoon and they try to flee again, only to be startled by an oncoming truck that luckily stops in time. The truck driver hops out of his truck to ask if the mermaids are crazy but the startled mermaids fun off, only to be scared by more and more cars that almost run them over. The Winx pursue the mermaids, who now weave through a crowd and are stopped by a man's opening umbrella. They continue running away, being scared by other things like a barking dog and a man in a sandwich suit, and stop by some crossroads which also happen to be near the Winx.

Tecna uses her magic to switch the stoplights from red to green to prevent the mermaids from crossing the street, giving the rest of the Winx an opportunity to catch up. Their chase soon makes it onto the rooftops of buildings, where the blonde mermaid slips during one of her leaps and almost plummets to her doom, but is luckily caught by one of her friends. As she is being pulled up, Bloom demands to know if the mermaids have realized that they have only gotten themselves into trouble and claims that Earth is not their world, but the dark-skinned mermaid tells Bloom to go tell her Queen that they will never return to the Lagoon as she and her two friends continue to flee. She then picks up the blonde mermaid onto her back after she tells them that she hurt her ankle, but they quickly lose their footing and slip off of the roof!

Now hanging by the breaking gutters, Flora rushes to their aid, only for the gutters to completely snap, causing the mermaids to plummet to the sidewalk below. Fortunately, Flora finds a bundle of vines nearby and uses them to catch the mermaids just before they hit the ground and lowers them to safety. Realizing that the Winx saved them, the mermaids apologize for causing so much trouble as they thought that the Winx were the Queen's allies. The brunette mermaid agrees to the idea of returning to Neverland to seek out Jim and offer their help to their cause. Bloom insists that they will have a better chance at fighting the Queen with more allies and the mermaids thank the Winx for all they have done before leaping into a fountain to return to Neverland as promised.

With the mermaids gone, the Winx can return to their search for Peter Pan's son, Matt, and Musa takes it upon herself to utilize her Sound Harmony spell to track his voice to his current location but not before warning the Winx that she will need absolute silence for it to work. With all of them quiet, Musa uses her Sound Harmony and quickly picks up Matt's voice. Using this, Musa leads the Winx to an apartment and the six fairies break in through one of the ceiling windows.

Once inside, the Winx look around the room to look for Matt and come to realize that Musa had tracked his voice coming from his answering machine to his flat. Realizing that Matt seems to be a solitary person, Musa admits to the fact that it will not be easy tracking his voice in all of Paris. Little do they know is that Matt is out for a walk in the city listening to music as a suspicious man seems to be following him from closely behind.

18- "Brividi nella Scuola di Moda" ("Fashion School Thrills")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

The episode starts off in the dark forests of Neverland, with each of the Pirates fleeing from something. This thing turns out to be a hoard of Tinkerbell's shadows and, knowing how relentless they are, the Pirates feel as though their only option is to transform and fight back. The shadows quickly catch up to the Pirates who scatter trying to flee from them again. One by one the Pirates are snatched up and captured by the shadows, and in their desperate attempts at escape, some of the Pirates even turn on each other.

The final Pirate with long brown hair quickly finds himself surrounded by three large shadow monsters after sliding down a hill. With no other options, he decides to fight back and tries to transform into his zombie form, however, he is unable to do so! As he frantically tries to figure out why he cannot transform, the three shadows fuse together into a mega-shadow and engulf him as he tries to run again.

Meanwhile, the sun rises over the city of Paris as the Winx wonder if Musa's Sound Harmony spell really did lead them to Matt's flat. Musa is certain that they truly are in Matt's flat as the way it looks just proves that he is an artist, so Bloom proposes that they search his whole flat to see if they can find clues as to where Matt has gone. And so, the Winx split up to search each part of Matt's flat, ranging from his room to the attic to even the pockets of coats left behind. Stella, who is still exhausted from not getting any sleep, relaxes by a shelf in the kitchen, but she is caught completely off-guard by a sudden flash of light. She jumps up in surprise and places her hand on the shelf she was leaning on to check if it was from her, and to her surprise, the room is engulfed in a golden light as an image of Matt stands before her.

As she tries to figure out what is going on, Stella reaches out to tap Matt's shoulder, only for her arm to completely phase through his image. She then watches as the image of Matt moves to the other side of the kitchen, pulls out a jar of peanut butter and spread it all over a bagel with onions. As he joyfully chomps on the peanut butter and onion bagel, Stella gags at his terrible taste in food. She then watches the image take up a parchment and a kaleidoscope and tries to take a peek at what he is reading. Shuffling behind Matt's image, Stella sees what he is reading is a flier for the Parisian Fashion School and exclaims this to the Winx as the golden light disappears.

Bloom turns to ask Stella how she was able to figure this out and Stella explains that she just discovered her new Onyrix Power which allowed her to see into the past through a flash of light. Each of the girls' faces light up as Bloom praises Stella before calling them all to action. However, this revelation is not just news to them, but to a hidden figure watching them from the shadows.

Springing into action, the Winx leap from rooftop to rooftop towards the Fashion School until they are engulfed in a familiar blue light and find themselves in a familiar blue space, where the Spirit of the World of Dreams claims that Neverland needs their help once again. She insists that there is a great danger plaguing the Neverland and Bloom informs the Spirit that they have been looking for the son of Peter Pan and have just found his whereabouts. The Spirit insists that they need to come now or else many lives will be lost and the Winx are promptly warped back to Earth to decide what they should do this time.

Slightly annoyed, Stella claims that they cannot go into the World of Dreams now of all times, as they are only just four rooftops away from finding Matt, however, Musa is insistent on rushing to the World of Dreams to answer the Spirit's distress call. Bloom reluctantly proposes that they split up and tasks Aisha, Tecna and Stella with continuing the search for Matt as she, Musa and Flora transform and go into the World of Dreams.

And so, after transforming, Bloom's group successfully travels to Neverland where Bloom tasks Musa with using her supersonic hearing to detect any nearby people in trouble. Musa does just that and quickly picks up the screams of the Pirates coming from behind her, so she leads Flora and Bloom in the direction of the screams.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, Stella brings up the fact that they will need yet another cover to make sure that they do not get swarmed by fans for autographs during their search. Tecna claims that they may not be recognized this time but Stella is doubtful of this and whips out SuperSue claiming to know what they need. And so, using her portable sewing machine, Stella whips up three floral dresses for herself and her friends to go undercover.

Once they are just outside the Parisian Fashion School, Stella asks Aisha and Tecna of their opinions on her designs, only to be met by Aisha expressing her doubt over their covers as she believes that the designs may only draw more attention to them. Using her tablet, Tecna points out that the designs Stella used were the most popular during the 1940s and would be known as "retro chic" nowadays. Annoyed, Stella claims that they can just call her designs "Stella Chic" and asks Aisha if she really wants to get into an argument about fashion with her of all people.

A short while later, the three fairies enter the Fashion School as Stella tells Aisha and Tecna to simply follow her. As they walk through the main hall, Stella assists some of the students with their minor problems: helping two confused girls coordinate their outfits better, sending an invitation to a male student's crush which quickly gets accepted and encouraging a trouble student on their first day of school. Tecna and Aisha praise Stella on having such good people skills and being able to make others feel better as easily as she does. Stella insists that it is not all that hard as she can tell what a person's inner problems are just by looking at their faces, but Aisha does not buy it. Stella demands to know what Aisha means by this and Aisha insists that someone would never be able to tell what a person's true inner struggles are just by one passing glance. Stella then demands to know if Aisha is claiming that she is superficial until Tecna interjects by trying to get Stella to calm down and focus on more important matters like finding where Matt is. Unfortunately, this only offends Stella even more as she feels like Tecna and Aisha are not taking her seriously. She insists that she does focus on the important things and runs off by herself as she tells her friends to go search for Matt by themselves if they are so smart. Unaware as to what made her so upset, Tecna and Aisha go off in another direction to continue their search.

In another part of the school, Sophie finished up the stitching on her latest dress, one that is part of her new Blue collection that she is having Nadine model for her. As Nadine gushes over the beautiful blue dress, Stella chimes in to express her love for the dress too, surprising her old clients and friends. Pleasantly surprised, Sophie asks Stella what she is doing back in Paris and Stella claims that she is just on a simple tour of the city before examining Sophie's new dress. She tells Sophie that everything about the dress is "extra fab" and Sophie appreciates the compliment, going on to claim that everyone else thinks so—everyone except for the "high and mighty Matt." Surprised, Stella asks how Sophie knows of Matt, to which Sophie reveals that he is a classmate of hers in her fashion class. Nadine goes on to add that he is a total blowhard and Sophie agrees, claiming that he thinks of himself as better than everyone around him and always shows off.

Elsewhere in the school, Matt is seen bossing around two of his classmates, insisting that they are nowhere close to being ready as he claims that the star is not bright enough. Just then, one of his stagehands rushes up on-stage and climbs the ladder to blow some glitter onto the girl playing the star. Matt is pleased with this but this does not last long as he immediately begins demanding where his flower is. Another one of the stagehands rushes to Matt with a pink rose in a bouquet and Matt asks what it is in a slightly disgusted tone. The stagehand claims that it is a rose and Matt expresses how offended he is by the very fact that he was given a rose when he is trying to invoke a "new vision of love." He then pulls out a picture of a white flower from his pocket and demands that the stagehand bring him that. The stagehand brings him a whole basket of flowers after returning the rose, but Matt seems displeased with every single one, much to the annoyance of his actors who wish to simply move onto the next scene, only for Matt to shush them, insisting that "genius" is currently at work. Tecna and Aisha, who have come into the room moments before, catch all of this and look back at each other with worried looks.

After pacing about for a few seconds, Matt gets another idea and has the first stagehand give one of his actors a heavy shield that causes him to fall off the ladder. Just when all seems complete, Matt gets another big idea, much to the disdain of his actors, and Aisha whispers to Tecna about the whole situation looking like a total disaster. Tecna agrees, claiming that it is all terrible, but the situation dramatically shifts once everyone in the room is swallowed up by sudden voids!

Stella returns to the main hall to greet the pair of students she helped earlier but is shocked to see them get swallowed up by a void as the atmosphere gets darker. As she backs away from the rapidly appearing voids, Tinkerbell and the Shaman watch her panic through her dark mirror.

Stella continues looking for her friends until she is stopped by three balls of white light swirling around in front of her. The balls of light continue to swirl until they form a mysterious pale figured cloaked in a giant void. The mysterious figure laughs at Stella in a hoarse voice and, after being asked who she is, the figure reveals herself to be Obscura, Stella's Nemesis. Stella tries to flee from her Nemesis but is quickly trapped within a void created by Obscura with one swift arm swing and, with no other options, Stella braces herself for Obscura's next attack.

Back in the World of Dreams, Bloom, Musa and Flora find the Pirates encased in spheres bound together by shadows. Bloom tries to break one of the Pirates free with a direct blast of fire but the trap turns out to be stronger than she initially thought. Musa tries to use a direct onslaught of powerful sound waves and, when that does not work, Flora tries to transform the shadows into something else using a magical flurry of flower petals. None of their methods are effective in putting a dent in the traps, so Flora suspects that there may be another way to unlock them without hurting the Pirates inside.

Meanwhile, Stella is now reduced to tears as she sits alone in Obscura's void. Suddenly, she is put back into her younger self and looks on as a group of kids laugh at her. A familiar hoarse voice insists that Stella is too loud and the red haired kid goes on to claim that Stella's "screechy voice" can be heard all across town even if a person has their earbuds in. The kids continue to laugh at her, making her feel smaller and more insignificant as the boys mock Stella by calling her a loudmouth and a chatterbox. She tries to fight back the bullying until Obscura flies over, claiming that Stella is not funny at all, and this prompts the boy with his hair pinned back to say that no one laughs at Stella's jokes, leaving her to laugh at her own by herself. He continues to claim that when people do laugh, they laugh at her, not with her, and the group of kids all point at laugh even more. Stella continues trying to hold herself together as Obscura claims that she is desperate and the red haired boy goes on to insist that Stella will follow anyone around like a lost puppy no matter how hard they try to ditch her. He then calls her a loser and tells her to get lost as the other kids continue to laugh. Obscura then calls Stella ugly and boring, prompting two of the bullies to say the same thing as they continue to laugh and mock her. This ultimately brings Stella to tears as she begins to accept that no one likes her—that she is alone—and cries to herself.

Just a moment later, Stella finds herself back in the main hall of the Parisian Fashion School at the same point in time when she, Aisha and Tecna were starting their search. She tries to help out all the students like she did earlier but each one of them is angry at her meddling: the pair of models storm off after Stella tries coordinating their outfits, the male student is angry at Stella for trying to take his phone and the incoming freshman seems to feel worse with Stella's encouragement. She then turns to find Tecna and Aisha very displeased with her as Aisha declares Stella to be terribly superficial. Tecna goes on to claim that Stella is only making herself think she is helping people when, in reality, she only does it to help herself and make herself look better. Frustrated, Stella tells the two to do this mission on their own if they think they are so smart and her screams cause everyone in the room to fade away. Stella desperately tries to get her friends to come back as Obscura laughs at her torment from nearby, all while Tinkerbell and the Shaman watch on from Tinkerbell's lair in Neverland, confident that Stella will be defeated by her innermost fear of no one liking her.

As she sobs alone in the void, Stella's younger self reaches out to her and tells her not to cry. She then asks if Stella remembers when they pushed past all of this, but Stella insists that she is alone now. Her younger self claims that they will never be alone with their friends by their side, but Stella is convinced that she chased them all away. Her younger self insists that their friends would never leave them as that is what real friends are for and, deep down, Stella is aware of this. Wiping her tears away, Stella hears the voices of Aisha and Tecna praising her from earlier about her people skills, giving her the strength to dispose of Obscura's void.

Obscura demands to know what is going on as Stella proclaims that her friends are her light and summons up a ball of light between her hands. Obscura backs away from Stella but she entraps her Nemesis in a ball of light and disintegrates her by amplifying her light magic. Stella cautiously approaches Obscura's ashes and watches as they fly into the air, form an afterimage of Obscura and completely disperse. With her Nemesis destroyed, Stella takes a moment to recollect herself. She then sees the two boys from earlier pass by and wonders whether she is still trapped within the nightmare or back in reality. The blonde boy asks if he should go with a jacket or without one and Stella happily claims that he should go with a jacket before skipping away, joyful that she is back in a reality with her loving friends.

Everyone is returned to where they were before Obscura's attack and Tecna and Aisha seem to be the only ones aware as to what happened. As Matt shouts at his actors to be more "smoochy," Tecna and Aisha try to figure out what happened, but since they do exactly know what happened, the two decide that now is the time to talk to Matt. That is when Stella comes into the room and rushes in to hug them, telling them that they are the best. Aisha asks Stella what is going on and Stella explains that it was thanks to their belief in her that she was able to be saved. The answer only seems to confuse the two even more but Stella goes on to promise that she will always listen to them and stay by their sides. She then asks if they hate her, to which Tecna claims that Stella will always be their Stella, now and forever, and Stella squeezes them tight as she tells them how much she loves them. She then adds how she defeated her Nemesis and Tecna realizes that everything that had happened earlier was not a strange dream. Stella confirms this, insisting that it was more of a nightmare, but their attention is diverted elsewhere once they lose sight of Matt yet again.

It turns out that Matt is polishing his camera's lens in another part of the school just by an open window. Little does he know is that a man in a trenchcoat with his face covered by a red bandana sneaks up from behind him and sprinkles him with the golden dust, knocking him out. The man catches a hold of Matt but, just as he is about to escape, Stella, Aisha and Tecna catch sight of him and pursue him as he leaps out the window. The three fairies quickly suit up and properly pursue Matt's kidnapper.

The girls begin to close in on the kidnapper, but are stopped by an octopus monster conjured up by the mysterious man! Thinking quickly, Aisha tasks Tecna with continuing the chase with Matt's kidnapper as she and Stella stay behind to take out the monster, however, the monster turns out to be nothing more than an illusion, causing Stella and Aisha to fall off the roof!

Hearing this, Tecna runs back to check on her friends and catches sight of Aisha and Stella dangling from the ledge of a nearby rooftop. Naturally, she pulls them up to safety, but this just means that they have now lost sight of Matt's kidnapper and have lost Matt again. However, their target may be closer than they realize, as it turns out that Matt and his kidnapper are hidden behind a nearby building out of the Winx's field of vision.

19- "La Ragazza dei Sogni" ("The Girl in the Stars")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

Bloom, Flora and Musa continue to struggle with their attempts at breaking the Pirates free from their shadowy prisons. Bloom and Musa launch another powerful blast of fire and sound respectively for one last try but the shadow cages still prove to be impervious to their magic. To make matters worse, their attacks cause a hoard of Shadow Monsters to come out of hiding and attack; forming their powerful shadow tornado attack to engulf the trio of fairies. Bloom starts to struggle with breathing and Musa advises for her to hold on as the shadows have already used this technique against them once before. When asked how they defeated it before, Musa realizes her mistake and nervously suggests that Bloom ask Stella for the details. With no way to combat the shadow tornado, the girls huddle close together but quickly lose each other in the chaos, all while Tinkerbell and the Shaman watch their impending doom from her dark mirror.

Back in Paris, Stella and Tecna express their frustration over losing sight of Matt's kidnapper until Aisha insists that they just pick a direction to search towards since they cannot afford to leave Matt alone and risk losing him again. The three fairies then leap off of the rooftop to pick up the search for Matt and his kidnapper, unaware that the kidnapper is struggling to scale another building in another part of the city.

Returning to Neverland, Bloom, Flora and Musa manage to grab hold of one another from inside the shadow tornado and, with their hands interlocked, the three fairies combine their magic to escape. The strong magical wave not one destroys the shadow tornado, but also completely disposes of the shadow cages, freeing the Pirates inside. However, the shadows continue their relentless behavior and trap one of the Pirates who tries to flee. Bloom launches a fireball at another one of the shadows, causing it to split in two. Realizing that they will never be able to defeat the shadows this way, Flora gets an idea: to neutralize the darkness over the forest that is making the shadows seem unbeatable.

Witnessing this from her lair, Tinkerbell scoffs at Flora's attempt to purify the forest and uses her dark magic to cause the forest to grow and surround the Winx while making its dark energy grow. Noticing the growing branches and roots, Musa alerts Flora of the forest's ability to react to Tinkerbell's dark aura but Flora, having finished focusing her magic, releases a wave strong enough to bring Tinkerbell great pain as it restores a large portion of the forest.

Lowering herself back to the ground, Flora disposes of two of the shadow monsters and the final shadow cage before her fatigue finally catches up to her. Bloom, Musa and the Pirates look on at the restored forest in awe, even the Shaman is taken aback by the extent of Flora's Onyrix Power. Tinkerbell insists that Flora only caught her while she was unprepared and, focusing all of her dark magic, promises that it will never happen again. Using her dark magic, Tinkerbell blows away all of Flora's results, returning the forest back to its dreary, leafless appearance, and conjuring up a shadow tornado for good measure. Everyone rushes to take cover except for Flora who tries to use her Onyrix Power a second time, believing that she can save the forest. As the Pirates are pulled into the shadowy vortex, Flora is eventually knocked away by the shadow tornado and loses her focus. With Flora defeated, Tinkerbell stops her attack, especially now that her powers have reached their limit themselves.

The Shaman rushes over to his exhausted Queen as Tinkerbell watches Bloom and Musa rush to Flora's side from her mirror. Seeing as how nature is both Flora's friend and source of her powers, Tinkerbell plots to turn it against her by making it her worst enemy.

Back in Paris, Stella, Aisha and Tecna catch sight of Matt's kidnapper and Tecna snaps a photo of him with her Winxwatch before they lose sight of him again. Frustrated with their lack of progress, Stella whines about having lost sight of the mystery man until Tecna reveals that she used her Winxwatch to scan his weight, height and speed, which would ensure that they can and will be able to find him again. In fact, Tecna uses the data to actively track the mystery man and she, Stella and Aisha quickly close in on him. Realizing this, the man places Matt down to lay down an octopus-shaped mark on one of the rooftops and continues his escape. Stella becomes the unlucky victim to the man's mark, which explodes from under her when she unknowingly steps on it, causing her to fly off of the roof. Luckily, she's caught by Bloom, who has returned from her mission in the World of Dreams just in the nick of time.

The Winx soon reunite in another part of Paris, where Stella rushes towards Flora and Musa to hug them. Musa tells Stella that they have returned with backup and diverts their attention to the Pirates; two of which cannonball into the nearby pool and laze around. The Pirate with long brown hair who seems to be the leader tries to get them out of the pool to complete their mission, but the two lazy Pirates do not see why they should go rushing around. The lead Pirate then points out how the Winx are the only reason why they are free now and insists that they can show that they are all real Pirates if they transform together. However, one of the lazy Pirates insists that he is "guarding the perimeter" from within the pool, causing the lead Pirate to resort to counting to three to make them come out. Just as he gets to three, the Pirate with the green bandana claims that he is coming out and swims to the edge of the pool, however, rather than get out, he pulls the lead Pirate into the pool and laughs. The lead Pirate slowly climbs back out of the pool, soaking wet and humiliated, and Bloom tells him to just leave the lazy Pirates be as they have no time to joke around. As the two Pirates tauntingly say goodbye to the Winx and their fellow Pirates, the Winx try to figure out what their plan will be.

During their briefing, Tecna reveals that she updated the data of Matt's kidnapper and sent it to each of their Winxwatches. Musa proposes that they split up to better close in on him, so Bloom leaves her and Flora in charge of Sector One, with Tecna and Aisha in charge of Sector Two and Stella and herself with Sector Three. And so, the Winx split off into groups of two with one or two of the Pirates accompanying them.

Bloom, Stella and a pair of Pirates make a quick run through Sector Three as they track Matt's kidnapper with Tecna's compiled data. Stella quickly picks up the target's signal coming from the direction of the Eiffel Tower and the two rush towards the monument. On the other hand, their Pirates struggle to keep up and stop to catch their breath once they turn the corner. Stella insists that they need to hurry or else they will lose sight of Matt's kidnapper but one of the Pirates tells her that it is not so easy for them to give chase without their ability to transform. Bloom agrees and explains to Stella that the Pirates only have special powers upon transforming so, right now, they are nothing more than simple humans.

Meanwhile, the mystery man scales the inside of the Eiffel Tower and, after catching sight of the Winx approaching the Tower, lays down a few octopus-shaped marks to slow them down. Bloom, Stella and the Pirates quickly make it to the Eiffel Tower and rush up its steps after the mystery man. Bloom eventually triggers the man's magic trap and Stella soon realizes that they cannot continue scaling the Tower this way after she sees on her Winxwatch that many more magic traps lie ahead. One of the Pirates realizes this too late and is blown out of the Eiffel Tower after triggering another one of the traps into detonating. The explosion also catches up with Matt's kidnapper, who is also blown outside and barely manages to catch himself. Bloom and Stella rush over to the Pirates' aid, helping them back up to stable flooring. One of the Pirates thanks the girls and informs them of the mystery man's whereabouts; specifically mentioning how he is now trapped along the edge of the Tower. Bloom then tells Stella to create a protective shield for Matt to catch him when he falls and approaches one of the main beams.

Using her fire magic, Bloom heats up the upper section of the Eiffel Tower, causing the mystery man to lose his grip as he is unable to bear the intense heat. Once he falls, Stella does as she was told and creates a shield of light ready to catch Matt, however, the mystery man catches Matt, moves him away from the light shield and releases a gliding parachute to escape.

He eventually lands in another part of the city on a speedboat that happens to be within Sector Two: the sector being patrolled by Tecna, Aisha and the lead Pirate. The trio catches up with Matt and his kidnapper just as he speeds off and, thinking quickly, the lead Pirate finds an empty speedboat and calls Tecna and Aisha, telling them to get in so that they can continue the chase. Once they have stepped on board and put on life jackets, the lead Pirate speeds after the mystery man, driving erratically and having a bit too much fun for Aisha and Tecna's liking.

Stella, Bloom and their pair of Pirates quickly enter Sector Two and struggle to chase down the mystery man. That is when the two Pirates find an unused anchor and, after tying it to a part of the port, throw it at the mystery man's boat and snag it. Stella then uses this as an opportunity to board the man's speedboat just before he shakes the anchor loose and Bloom quickly follows suit. Now with two fairies on his speedboat, the mystery man desperately tries to shake them off, but things only prove to become more difficult for him as the lead Pirate closes in on him from the left. Once he pulls them in close enough, Aisha rushes to the front of their speedboat and leaps onto the mystery man's, effectively trapping him on his own boat. That is when the man grabs at his octopus-shaped pendant and uses it to conjure up a large tentacle monster to attack the Winx. He then grabs Matt and escapes while everyone is preoccupied with dodging attacks. Luckily though, Bloom picks up the mystery man's latest location with her Winxwatch and informs everyone that he is back on the rooftops not too far from them.

And so, everyone continues the chase as the mystery man tries to evade them on the rooftops, all while Musa and Flora are basically stuck babysitting their pair of pirates back in sector one.

Musa is very obviously ticked off with their situation but Flora insists that she knows of a way to make the pair of lazy Pirates take action. She then approaches the edge of the pool and tries encouraging them into saving Matt, only to splashed in response. Musa insists that the only way to get through to Pirates is by having an iron fist, so she approaches the pool and tries to spur the pair of Pirates into action by questioning if they are truly pirates after claiming how tired she is of them. Unfortunately, she is also met by a splash of pool water and, as she steps back, she tells Flora not to make any comments.

Back with the active party, the Winxwatches lose the mystery man's signal. The Winx and Pirates stop on a large rooftop as Tecna identifies the cause of the problem: interference from an outside source. Flora and Musa face the same problem down in Sector One and insists that they need to leave now. Musa asks if the lazy Pirates have heard this and the one in the green bandana confirms that they have. Flora tells them to help out but the two Pirates feel like it will be a fruitless effort since they do not have their powers. Musa then points out how all of their companions are giving it their best despite not having their powers either, but the Pirate with the green bandana insists that Pirates do not act out of charity.

That is when another Pirate calls him out on being wrong as they also have ethics, but the two in the pool do not know what ethics are and tell their returning comrades to "talk simply." The lead Pirate then insists that they are a crew and as a crew, they should be working together and helping each other out just like the Winx. A Pirate with blonde hair chimes in, adding that they should all work together for a good cause, and the two pool Pirates make a turn-around; one of them even comparing their friend's words to ransacking. The blonde Pirate agrees until Stella shoots him a disapproving glare, so he changes his words to claim that they could fight for a cause better than ransacking, like saving the life of "that dude," to which Bloom frustratingly reminds him that "that dude" is named Matt. Flora then tries to spur the two Pirates into action again by using a snowflake as an analogy but neither of them understand, so Bloom shouts for them to get moving per their captain's orders. The lead Pirate agrees and tells them to get going, so the two Pirates finally emerge from the pool and rejoin their group, ready to give it their all.

Tecna tries to pick up the mystery man's signal with her Winxwatch again but it is unable to locate him. That is when one of the Pirates claims that the simplest means may end up being the more efficient ones at times like these as he pulls out a telescope to look out into the city. With his telescope, the Pirate quickly catches sight of Matt's kidnapper still running on nearby rooftops, so the group continues with chasing him down.

The Pirates quickly scale the buildings and surround the mystery man on all sides, but the man whips out his belt and uses it to glide away on some electrical wires. The lead Pirate urges for his men to chase after the mystery man and work together as a crew as he places his palm out. The rest of the Pirates follow suit, stacking their palms on top of each other, and once they have all done so, they are filled with a familiar power which allows them to transform into zombies again!

Elated over their regained powers, the Zombie Pirates use their rope-like appendages to glide on electrical wires after the mystery man. Just as the mystery man thinks he has been able to get away, the Zombie Pirates quickly surround him and snatch Matt away. The lead Pirate then taunts him, declaring Matt to be their "loot" and that if the mystery man wishes to kidnap him again, then he will need to get through them first. Rather than try to fight a fight with the odds stacked heavily against him, the mystery man flees just as the Winx catch up to the Pirates to praise them on a job well done.

With everything settled, the lead Pirate hands the unconscious Matt off to the Winx and assures them that he is okay. He then tells the Winx goodbye and claims that they will be able to see each other soon again, fighting together against the Queen of Neverland.

Later that day, Matt finally regains consciousness and is quickly surprised to find himself inside the Winxmobile surrounded by six beautiful women. As Stella playfully shushes everyone after Matt has woken up, Bloom chuckles and tells Matt that he can say the words that are on his mind: that today is his lucky day. Matt nervously smiles and admits to how this is not a bad awakening and takes another moment to take everything in. He then suspects that he may be being pranked and looks all over the room for any hidden video cameras until Bloom insists that he just sit down. Matt continues to suspect that his current situation is not a normal one (for obvious reasons) until Flora assures him that they will tell him everything in due time. Taking another look at her face, Matt finally recognizes the Winx, which makes Stella ecstatic over getting to deal with yet another adoring fan. That is until Matt claims that they looked much better on TV, which causes Stella to charge at him if she were not held back by Musa. Brushing this aside, Matt claims that he likes the vibes the Winx's music give off, which catches Musa's interest.

Matt and Musa then engage in a small performance, with Musa singing vocals as Matt playing the guitar. The two are great together and the rest of the Winx applaud them afterwards. Matt then goes on to say that the Winx's first album was their best but immediately renders his compliment moot by calling all their other albums garbage. This sets Musa off, but Matt continues by claiming that their newer sound is just too naive. Tecna tries to ease Musa into calming down but to no avail. Matt then offers to give Musa a few tips before belting out an impressive guitar solo that leaves most of the Winx speechless. Fed up with Matt's bragging and back-handed compliments, Stella snatches the guitar from his hands and tells him to listen up, as they still have something important to tell him.

Once they have all settled down in another part of the van, Matt makes a smart remark over how the Winx have gone to great lengths just to tell him what he already "knew": that he is the most misunderstood talent ever. This gets on Stella's nerves and Matt quickly changes the subject back to the matter at hand. That is when Bloom asks if Matt can help them find his father and this question catches the young artist completely off-guard. Bloom goes on to claim that many people are in need of his help while others do not wish for them to find him, which resulted in his being kidnapped earlier. Flora chimes in by adding that they only wish to protect him, but Matt simply tells the girls that they are out of luck as he has never even seen his own father in person. That is when Musa brings out a note as she explains that they have already talked to a friend of his father's, Wendy Darling, and hands the note off to Matt, who quickly takes out his parchment and kaleidoscope to inspect both it and the parchment again.

After a moment, Matt admits to the handwriting in the parchment and the handwriting on Wendy's letter to be the same and realizes that the Winx were telling the truth. Bloom asks Matt what his kaleidoscope is and Matt reveals that it and the parchment were all that his father left for him before mysteriously disappearing. Bloom insists that the handwriting on the parchment is completely illegible until Matt hands it and the kaleidoscope off to her and insists that she try again. Bloom does so and is amazed to find that it really works. She then reads what the note says aloud to the rest of the Winx:

"Look for the second to your right. You'll find your future." She takes a moment to look back at the parchment and kaleidoscope again until she looks back at Matt to ask what that phrase could mean. Matt simply smiles back at Bloom and leads the Winx back to the Notre Dame Cathedral once night falls.

Once there, Matt leads the girls to a specific pillar with a stone carving of a boy looking out into the stars with a telescope, and explains that the phrase is talking about the second star over to the right. He asks if Bloom can see it now and, using the kaleidoscope, Bloom sees the images of a girl with a forlorn expression on her face. She remarks on the girl's beauty and Matt admits to coming up to that place for a while now just to admire the girl's beauty.

After getting a good enough look, Bloom hands the kaleidoscope back to Matt and asks who the girl hidden in the stone carving is, to which Matt reveals that he does not know either but cannot shake the feeling of familiarity he gets from seeing her image. He confesses to being in love with this girl since the first moment he saw her through the kaleidoscope and Flora asks if Matt has ever tried finding her. Matt admits to never trying as he sometimes gets the feeling that none of this may even be real—that it all may be just a beautiful dream—but Flora cannot believe that he would feel that way as he is the living, breathing son of Peter Barrie—of Peter Pan! Matt is once again caught off-guard by such a bold claim and Flora goes on to tell Matt that whatever he is feeling is real. Aisha then adds that the World of Dreams is also real and that they have seen such a place, and Musa suspects that Matt may be able to find his "girl in the stars" there as well. Matt only finds himself getting more confused and surprised and asks the Winx who they really are, to which Bloom tells him of their true identity of being fairies. She continues to claim that they are currently on an important mission and Stella chimes in to reveal it to be vanquishing the evil queen ruling over Neverland. Flora finishes Stella's statement by claiming that the dreams of all humans will be lost forever if they are not successful, but all of this just throws Matt for a loop.

Bloom notices a change in Matt's expression, almost as if he is completely lost, and tries to get his attention again. It turns out that Matt just got another one of his "big ideas" and proclaims that he will find the most beautiful flower that Earth has to offer to give to his beloved. As he says this though, a familiar blue light and portal surround Matt and he disappears before the Winx's very eyes!

20- "Il Fiore più Bello" ("A Flower in the Snow")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

With Matt suddenly disappearing in a flash of light, the Winx promptly change into their coats and catsuits to search the perimeter of Notre Dame. Musa and Stella search towards the east but find no sign of Matt. The same holds true for Tecna who searched towards the north, Aisha who searched towards the south and Bloom who searched towards the west, meaning that Matt had completely vanished from the area.

Meanwhile, in Neverland, Tinkerbell wanders off to a peaceful part of the forest by a lake to let her hair down. As she gazes at her image reflected onto the waters of the small lake, she begins to crack a smile and looks to be at peace. That is until she hears a portal opening up from behind her and when she turns around, she finds Matt standing there!?

Matt is also taken by surprise as he now finds himself in a completely different world—the World of Dreams—and tries to makes sense of it all until he finds himself face to face with Tinkerbell, who he immediately recognizes to be the girl in the stars of Notre Dame. Elated, Matt approaches Tinkerbell and circles around her to catch a glimpse of every detail of her face. Caught off-guard, Tinkerbell demands to know who he is, to which Matt replies by claiming to be someone who has "seen her face from the stars above." He goes on to claim that he has been looking for Tinkerbell his whole life and that, though she cannot see it, he had searched the universe and came across her face.

Tinkerbell cannot help but smile at such heartfelt and poetic words and sheepishly brushes some of her hair off to the side as she confesses to also feeling a strange familiarity with Matt, almost as if she had known him before—as if he had been in her dreams. That is when Matt's face suddenly becomes downcast, as he is disappointed with how unprepared he is at this moment. Naturally, Tinkerbell asks what he means by this and Matt pulls out a picture of a white-petaled flower from his coat pocket. He then goes on to insist that Tinkerbell's beauty deserves a gift of equal majesty and promises to come back to her with the most beautiful flower in all the world for her. Tinkerbell quietly smiles to herself as Matt continues to claim that in this flowers petals, she will be able to see just how much she means to him as his most beautiful flower.

In that moment, a blue light and portal engulf Matt, causing him to disappear before Tinkerbell's eyes. This leaves her confused for a brief moment before she begins twirling around, ecstatic over her moment with Matt and the words he used to describe her. However, she quickly snaps herself out of it, insisting that she cannot let her weaknesses take hold of her while she is still the Queen of the World of Dreams. She then takes this moment as a chance to create Stoney to get back at Flora for their last encounter.

Using the surrounding rocks and rubble, Tinkerbell recites an incantation to create Stoney, Flora's Nemesis, and sends her out to Earth to destroy her.

Meanwhile, Matt is warped back to Earth but in the mountains of Switzerland, where he begins his search for the flower he wishes to present to his girl in the stars. It does not take long for him to find the flower and he quickly kneels down before it to dust off the snow. However, Matt's happy moment is quickly crushed once his Parisian kidnapper reappears looming over him. Clutching his octopus-shaped pendant, the mystery man conjures up various octopus tentacles to surround Matt.

The Winx, however, have traveled back to Neverland to ask any of their allies if they had seen Matt come through.

As Bloom, Tecna and Aisha describe Matt's appearance and personality to Jim, Musa wanders off not to far and declares that she is unable to sense Matt anywhere in Neverland. After hearing about Matt's arrogant personality, Jim asks the Winx if they really believe that Matt can save Neverland, which Flora confirms with hesitation. Jim then asks if he is the one who has the potential to turn the Queen back into Tinkerbell, and Flora goes on to claim that there may be sides to Matt that he has not shown them yet, comparing him to a nearby flower. With no clues as to where Matt has gone, the Winx decide to return to Earth to try and sort this out back at their Winxmobile in Paris.

Once back, Musa proposes that she use Matt's voice imprinted in her mind to look for him and, after properly imprinting his voice into her mind, she tries to listen in wider circles until she can pick it up again. Aisha remarks on how it would not take too long since Matt talks loudly and frequently until Bloom claims that Musa's voice search may take too long if Matt is no longer in Paris. Tecna then proposes that she search through all of the cameras on Earth to find Matt's face but Bloom points out that there may be trillions of cameras in the world. Remembering what Matt said about looking for a flower, Flora volunteers to search for Matt by speaking directly to nature and asks some nearby potted plants to send out an "All Plant Alert" to help search for him after showing the plants his picture. The flowers open and close their petals in response and Flora notifies the girls of how every plant on Earth is now looking for Matt. Placing but a finger onto the flowers, Flora explains that once the plants of the world find Matt, she can travel through the planet's root system to his location. She then tells the flowers to lead her to Matt and is enveloped in a bright green glow before she is absorbed into their stem, leaving the rest of the Winx in awe.

Flying through a sky of pure green, Flora thanks all of the plants and trees of the Earth for their help as she continues through the world's root system.

Meanwhile, back in the World of Dreams, the Shaman idly watches Tinkerbell pace around her lair until he finally comments on how worried she seems. Tinkerbell commands him to leave her alone in response so the Shaman leaves the room, but not before taking one quick look back at his queen. Now alone, Tinkerbell tells her shadow mirror to find the one she met in the woods earlier but when it tries to do so, it is unable to find him. Shocked by this, Tinkerbell questions if Matt possesses a kind of magic that completely blocks hers out and soon comes to the conclusion that he may have been an enemy sent directly to her to weaken her. Just to be safe, Tinkerbell decides that her best option is to destroy Matt.

Back in Switzerland, Matt is running away from his former kidnapper as he detonates multiple magic traps that eventually cause Matt to fall over. He then finds himself being chased by an octopus monster through the mountains until he ducks behind it on top of a cliff. Seeing how small the cliff is, Matt gets the "big idea" to throw a snowball at the monster in the hopes of knocking it down. However, he completely misses his throw, so he resorts to shoving the monster down himself, only to end up phasing through the octopus monster and falling down the cliff himself. Luckily, the cliff is not so high up, so Matt lands face-first just next to the flower he wishes to pick.

With Matt seemingly unable to move, the mystery man approaches him and gets ready to sprinkle some gold dust over him, however, he is interrupted by the flower suddenly letting out a bright blue-green glow. He is then completely taken by surprise when Flora emerges from the flower and, after assessing the situation, she trips the mystery man with her vines, breaking a part of his necklace right off.

Now that the mystery man is no longer a threat, Flora turns her attention to Matt and helps him up from the snow. Matt takes a while to recollect himself and assures Flora that he is okay. He then tells her that "that guy" came back and the two of them realize that he fled, leaving behind a piece of his pendant that Matt decides to keep in his coat pocket to help him find out who it is that keeps attacking him.

With all that taken care of, Matt quickly thanks Flora for saving him and tries to go back to picking his flower, only for Flora to stop him. Matt then insists that he knows exactly how to make his dreams come true, but Flora still believes that it is too dangerous for Matt to travel into the World of Dreams on his own with his kidnapper being proof of that fact. Matt dismisses this though, by claiming that destiny is nothing but a big idea, one of which he is all about. Flora begrudgingly finishes his sentence knowing full well about his affinity for "big ideas," but the two are interrupted by a strange and evil presence that seems to have been looking for Flora.

Opening her arms out wide, the pale woman, Flora's Nemesis named Stoney, releases a sinister magical wave that turns the white-petaled flower Matt set his sights on to stone. She opens her eyes and sneers at the two before approaching them and letting out yet another wave of dark magic, this time turning all surrounding plant-life to stone. As Matt tries to figure out what is going on, Flora begins to feel an internal pain, and realizes that she is killing all of the plant-life in the area. Flora then tries to stop the sinister woman by conjuring up some vines to bind her, but Stoney releases another wave that turns the vines to stone and renders them useless.

With Flora rapidly getting weaker, Matt takes it upon himself to approach Stoney and demand her identity. Stoney simply stares into Matt's eyes, which unfortunately cause him to be petrified just like the plants a moment before! With no way to move, Matt is quickly turned into a stone statue as Flora is unable to do anything. She desperately tries to reach out to any surrounding nature that is still living but is unable to do so and Stoney declares that there is no more nature as nothing around them is alive anymore. She then goes on to claim that Flora will not be alive for long either and uses her powers over stone and rock to launch barrage after barrage of rocks and boulders from the surrounding mountains at Flora. Flora is able to dodge Stoney's rock blasts while Stoney insists that Flora just give herself up, believing that there is no possible way she could beat her, and sends out an avalanche to bury her.

Flora desperately tries to outrun Stoney's avalanche as she also tries to reach out to Matt and get him to break free from Stoney's petrification. Matt gives no response and Flora ends up falling into a pit with the boulders right behind her. The boulders quickly fill the pit up to its brim, burying Flora inside and seemingly ensuring Stoney's victory. That is until Flora miraculously emerges from within the depths of the pit and continues trying to reach out to Matt; telling him to get in touch with his feelings and to think of the girl in the stars. This causes a light to flash from Matt's eyes, which prompts Stoney into attacking the already injured Flora to get her to stop. She manages to knock Flora to the ground but Flora continues talking to Matt, telling him to get in touch with how he feels when he sees the face of the girl in the stars. Stoney taunts Flora and laughs at her face as she launches her into the air but, upon landing back onto the ground, Flora just continues telling Matt to feel his life force. This ultimately causes Matt to break free of Stoney's petrification, even to his surprise, and he rushes to Flora's aid, only to realize that Stoney's body is as hard as stone itself.

Stoney turns back to Matt and tells him to flee while he still can, leaving Flora with an opportunity to reach out to nature once more. While she is able to make one small vine sprout from the rock, it is not enough to help her fight back against her Nemesis, all while Matt runs around holding his hand in pain from hitting Stoney. Fed up with these childish antics, Stoney starts to pelt Flora and Matt with more rock barrages and another avalanche.

Matt finds himself cornered by all of these attacks, which Stoney uses to bury him in her oncoming avalanche. Just as the boulders are about to make contact, vines sprout out from under Matt and shield him from them, keeping him safe and unharmed. Flora immediately becomes ecstatic over how nature answered her distress call as more vines spring up from under Stoney to bind her arms down. However, Stoney still proves to be too powerful, as she manages to completely rip the vines apart during the struggle and trap Flora in a cage of stone. She tauntingly asks Flora if she feels like a bird in a cage and Flora tries to turn the tables by trapping Stoney in a cage of vines, only for her Nemesis to completely petrify and blow the vines away. With victory within her grasp, Stoney laughs as she claims that Flora's precious nature will never be able to save her. However, Flora still has faith that nature is still alive and that the power of life is stronger than anything else. As she says this, she release a green burst of light that does away with Stoney's cage of stone and calls upon multiple vines to completely take hold of Stoney before she can even react.

Once Stoney has been completely encased in vines, all of the surrounding plant-life is restored. The vines then release Stoney, revealing that her own powers were turned against her as she had been turned into a stone statue, almost as if she had petrified herself. Matt approaches the petrified Stoney, only for her to completely crumble away into rubble.

Flora approaches Matt, who asks if Stoney had been done in, which Flora confirms. She then restores the flower Matt wishes to give to his beloved but, when Matt reaches out to pick it, he hesitates and pulls back, realizing that the flower would be as dead as it was if Stoney had won in a little over a day or two. He then decides to let the flower continue its life in the mountains and Flora reminds Matt of how he helped her save Earth's nature. Matt ultimately comes to the realization that if he does not save the world of the girl in the stars, then she will wilt just like the flower he wished to give to her. With all of this in mind, Matt finally decides to help the Winx in their fight to save Neverland and swears only to go to his beloved's side once it has been saved. Flora officially welcomes Matt to "Team Winx" and the two shake hands.

Back in Paris, Bloom receives word from Flora of her Nemesis' defeat and Matt joining their side on her Winxwatch. Bloom is elated to hear such good news and tells Flora that she and the rest of the Winx will see her soon before the call ends. Bloom then notifies the rest of the Winx that Flora is on her way back with Matt as they try to set up the stage for their next concert. Aisha makes a snide remark over how Matt may end up sharing another one of his "big ideas" with them when he gets back as she plugs the mic in and Musa tests it out, telling Tecna to add a bit more bass. Tecna does so and with everything all set, the Winx continue to get themselves ready for the upcoming concert.

Once night falls in the city of Paris, a crowd eagerly awaits the pop stars as a clip of their performance in Gardenia plays on the screen just behind the set-up instruments. Unfortunately, Venomya arrives as well, as she has done with every one of their other concerts, refusing to miss any opportunity to give it a negative review.

A short while later, the clip stops as Bloom steps on-stage to notify the crowd that the concert will be starting soon. Aisha, who is taking one last check on all the wires, spots Venomya at the front of the crowd and lets the Winx know that everything is all set to safety standards. With that, the Winx step on-stage and grab their instruments but, just before they start the concert, Flora and Matt finally return through a portal to Neverland. Bloom greets the two as Flora steps on-stage, but Aisha does not seem too happy to see Matt. Though, now that they're all together, the girls commence their Paris concert. The crowd instantly eats up their performance, much to the disdain of Venomya, and Matt goofily dances along from backstage.

Their performance quickly comes to an end and the girls return to their Winxmobile to take a break just before their next song with Matt. Matt compliments the girls on their performance only to be met by Aisha's rude demeanor as she demands to know why Matt decided to help them save the World of Dreams. Matt is immediately ticked off by Aisha's attitude towards him, which prompts Flora to cut in between the two and change up Aisha's words. However, Aisha cuts Flora off, insisting that she meant what she asked, which earns her a very disapproving look from her nature-loving friend until Matt tells Flora that he does not mind and understands Aisha's skepticism given his behavior when they first met. Matt tries to explain what caused him to change his mind, but he is interrupted by the sound of screams just outside!

It turns out that a fire somehow broke out onstage while the Winx were away and once they step outside, the fire rapidly picks up in speed and size! As the Winx try to figure out what to do, Aisha gets the idea to use her power over fluids to douse the fire while everyone else is distracted. Musa rushes to Aisha's side with a fire hydrant and tries to advise her not to get water on any of their electrical gear but Aisha, prideful over her quick fix, declares the problem to have been solved, completely ignoring Musa's warning and shorting out the entire electrical system.

A short while later, Bloom steps onstage to try and address the crowd but cannot do so without a working mic, so Musa discretely uses her magic to temporarily restore it. Bloom asks the audience to bear with them as they try to get through their current electrical difficulties but, when she turns around, Tecna reveals that their entire electrical system has been shorted out. To make matters worse, Venomya appears backstage to gloat to the Winx over how she managed to record the entire ordeal on her phone and, to rub it in, shows the video to the Winx. Satisfied with herself, Venomya leaves to post yet another negative review of the Winx's concert and tauntingly waves just before leaving. The Winx then turn towards their crowd and see that they are leaving as well, rendering the Parisian leg of their world tour ruined.

Tecna insists that she can just use a restoration spell on all their equipment, but Bloom believes that they would be better off with canceling the rest of their concert. Stella does not want to as she believes that their public needs them, but Bloom thinks that if their serial saboteur works for the Queen, then they will simply try again, even if Tecna restored their equipment. Aisha agrees and adds that they would not want to combat the saboteur out in the open, however, something is still nagging at the Fairy of Fluids. Stella expresses her disappointment over their current situation with how the people of Earth are not ready for the existence of fairies just yet and says goodbye to their public under her breath.

Matt steps onstage to offer his help if the Winx need it but Aisha steps out in front of him, telling him to let them know if he has another one of his "big ideas" in an annoyed and mocking tone before shoving him aside and storming off-stage. As she stomps over the Winxmobile, she feels something watching her but cannot find anyone or anything, so she storms into the van and shuts the door behind her. However, she remains completely unaware of the shadow that was watching her the whole time. It seems as though Tinkerbell has found her next target.

21- "Giglio Tigrato" ("Tiger Lily")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

The episode opens up in a clearing full of large spears located somewhere in Neverland. A lone woman sits in the middle of the clearing meditating as a familiar distorted voice asks if she can see "him." The woman confirms that she can see "him" and tells the Spirit of the World of Dreams that "he" is currently in London getting training. It soon turns out to be Matt who the woman is watching and he is standing in an abandoned pier staring down Aisha, who is on the opposite end.

The two salute each other, but Matt somehow loses his balance and falls into the waters below, showing that his training is not going to be a cakewalk.

As the woman in the clearing continues to watch telepathically, the Spirit of the World of Dreams insists that "the prophecy" is about to come true. The woman then goes on about how Neverland's "chosen one" will soon save the world with his courage, force and distinctive spirit. She continues to state that the hero will be a boy that has a strong personality and a great potential as she sees images of a Matt's silhouette rushing into battle and defeating various shadow monsters. The woman believes that the Chosen One of Neverland will defeat every ounce of evil in the world, pushing it back into the darkness from whence it came, and no known forces will ever be able to defeat such a great hero.

Returning back to London, Aisha is slapping Matt on the back to help him cough up any seawater he may have accidentally swallowed from his earlier fall. As he continues to cough up seawater, Matt complains about its bitter taste and Aisha sarcastically asks him if he expected salty seawater to taste like fruit juice. Matt then tries to thank Aisha for fishing him out of the ocean but Aisha simply lifts him to his feet and tells him that she cannot waste time with pleasantries as she has been the one tasked with making a warrior out of him.

Back in the spear-littered clearing, the woman notifies the Spirit of the World of Dreams that the "final clash" has started. The Spirit tells the woman to let destiny unfold and something seems to shock the woman as her eyes flash open in surprise.

A short while later, Aisha asks Matt if he is ready. Matt readies himself into a charging stance as he confirms this and starts running once Aisha tells him to go. Aisha becomes surprised by Matt for a moment as he leaps into the air, ready to strike her down with a swift kick... or at least, he was, but ends up slipping through a hole in the pier just in front of Aisha, plummeting back into the ocean. After helping him cough up seawater again, the two move on to another part of the obstacle course.

Aisha tries to get Matt to climb a chain-link fence to reach the top of some leftover construction but Matt barely climbs an inch of the fence as he loudly psyches himself up. In another part of the training, Aisha kicks a large tire off of a hooked crane wire and far off into the nearby waters, and has Matt do the same. Unfortunately, Matt gets a bit too confident and his leg gets caught in the tire as he tries to kick it down, leaving Aisha to lament over her current situation.

Matt then approaches Aisha, asking if they can take a break, but she flatly tells him "no" as she throws a basketball at him. Matt quickly ducks and dodges the basketball, but it bounces off of a part of the pier behind him and smacks him at the back of the head when he stands back up thinking he managed to do something right. Aisha continues throwing basketballs at Matt, telling him not to drop his guard and that he needs to learn how to dodge, and Matt, after catching one of the basketballs, readies himself into dodging the incoming flurry. He is successful in dodging all of the basketballs thrown his way and, once it is over, praises himself on finally doing well in a part of his training. That is when Aisha decides to check for herself and tosses a tennis ball Matt's way. Confident in his abilities, Matt outstretches one of his arms with his eyes closed, only for the tennis ball to smack him right in the center of his forehead, knocking him to the ground. Aisha then reminds Matt that she told him to never drop his guard and stomps off with a grunt.

The rest of the Winx regroup with Aisha and Matt to see how his warrior training is going. Matt claims that it was not too bad for his first day of training as he rubs a bag of ice on his forehead wound, but Aisha thinks otherwise and even tells them that Matt will never become a warrior. Tecna tries to suggest that they have a bit more patience with this but Aisha insists that they do not have time for patience as the Queen is currently plotting to exploit their weaknesses while they waste time trying to train Matt. In fact, as she says this, Tinkerbell and the Shaman watch footage of her prideful solution to dousing a stage-fire from Tinkerbell's dark mirror.

After going through the whole thing, Tinkerbell turns to the Shaman to ask if he agrees with how interesting she found the footage to be. Naturally, the Shaman agrees, pointing out that someone had sabotaged the Winx's concert in Paris, until Tinkerbell clarifies that that was not what she meant. The Shaman asks Tinkerbell what she does mean then, and Tinkerbell goes on to claim that it is Aisha: the most impulsive, hasty and impatient member of the Winx. Confused, the Shaman asks Tinkerbell why she does not want to know the identity of their "mysterious helper," and Tinkerbell insists that she does not care. She then calls forth Sinka, much to the Shaman's surprise.

Back in London, the Winx have picked up their world tour once again and are performing a concert for their adoring public. Matt watches them from the sidelines, dancing along to their music as he admits that they sound much better when they play live. However, like all of their concerts, a certain someone has arrived to sabotage the show and sneaks backstage to do so. Matt catches sight of the saboteur running by but dismisses it and continues enjoying the concert. Unfortunately, this leaves the saboteur free to mess with the sound controls, which they use to amplify the mic feedback to the point of driving the audience away and prematurely ending the concert. Aisha tries to take it upon herself to fix this but Bloom insists that there are too many people around for her to do so. Aisha then sarcastically asks Bloom what she means by that as the crowd has already fled and, to make things worse, Venomya reveals herself to taunt the Winx. Bloom tries to give her the cold shoulder by claiming that they do not have time for her, but Venomya simply tells them to ready her poisonous review once they do find the time and triumphantly laughs as she steps off-stage.

Matt comes around from the other side of the stage to ask what happened and trips on a wire as he was not paying attention, leading an already frustrated Aisha to comment about his hopelessness. Bloom then realizes that Matt may be in danger if their saboteur is following them and proposes that they move Matt to Neverland to be trained by Jim. Unaware of who Jim is, Matt asks who he is, to which Bloom reveals that Jim is Captain Hook, a man who used to be the fiercest enemy towards Matt's father. Matt naturally becomes abrasive to the idea of being trained by his dad's mortal enemy and demands to know if the Winx trust him, as him being the enemy to Peter Pan would make him their enemy as well. That is until Aisha insists that Jim has changed and now stands united with them against the evil Queen. It does not take long for Matt to agree to their plans and Bloom turns to ask the Winx if they are ready to return to the World of Dreams. After they all give the OK, Matt promises to teleport himself there to meet them, so the Winx transform into their Onyrix to head to Neverland.

Once in Neverland, Bloom explains their current situation to Jim and Smee, and tells them that they will need a bit of help with Matt's training, as Aisha did all she could on her own. Jim asks the girls if they want him to train Peter Pan's son and approaches Matt. After giving him a hard look, he trips Matt and shoves him to the ground, obviously ticking Matt off. Jim insists that his "bad manners" will help to make a warrior out of him and offers to help him up as he tells him that he was only trying to test his reaction time. Matt grabs Jim's hand and insists that Jim will never catch him like that again only for Jim to let go of his hand and let Matt fall onto his butt a second time. This causes Aisha to immediately get angry with him and shout over how she already told him a thousand times to never drop his guard. Matt insists that he gets it already as he picks himself up and dusts himself off. Jim then extends his hand out again, claiming to be done, only to throw Matt again when he tries to shake his hand. He tells the Winx under his breath that Matt does not even come close to looking anything like his father but Bloom reminds Jim that they have no other option, so Jim decides to use a little teamwork to see if it would do any good.

And so, Jim begins Matt's training by pitting him against the Crocodile Man but unfortunately, Matt gets too scared after the Crocodile Man roars in his face and faints on the spot.

The next round has Matt pit against one of Jim's Pirates in a sword fight with wooden swords. Matt does surprisingly well at blocking the Pirate's strikes but the Pirate strikes at him so forcefully that Matt soon finds himself waist-deep into the ground!

Finally, Matt is pit against the Alligator Man and Matt ends up hurting his hands after giving a warrior's salute to his opponent. However, he quickly recovers and the Alligator Man leaps into the river between them, causing all the water to rise up and sweep Matt away.

Back at the tree, Jim begins to seriously doubt that Matt will ever look like a hero while Bloom insists that he just needs more time. Jim then points out that Matt did not succeed in any of the fights he was placed in but Bloom counters this point by telling him that Matt has never once held a real sword in a real fight until now. After hearing this, Jim decides to give Matt another shot and has him engage in another wooden sword fight but with Smee as his opponent but, just before striking, Smee hides his broken octopus pendant just under his shirt.

Smee charges at Matt and repeatedly smacks at his wooden sword until Matt realizes that Smee is not much of a fighter and begins striking back. However, just as Matt begins to gain confidence in his abilities, Smee charges at him and knocks Matt to the ground by bonking him on the head with his sword. Smee revels in his victory by stating that he has never won a duel before and Matt's embarrassing failure causes the Winx to realize that Matt may actually be a lost cause. That is until Jim tells them that they have one hope left if they want to make Matt into a proper warrior: entrusting him to a person named Tiger Lily. Smee chimes in to add that Tiger Lily is the best warrior in all of Neverland and Jim pulls out a map to show the Winx that she lives on a cliff isolated from the rest of the land.

Aisha agrees with Jim's statement of Tiger Lily being their last hope, even going on to claim that Neverland will have to find a new hero should she refuse, and Matt becomes disheartened at Aisha's harsh words after he is finally able to pick himself back up. Smee adds that Tiger Lily is the absolutely best as Jim continues to point out that they would have one more powerful ally against the Queen should she agree to help them.

And so, Matt and the Winx set out for Tiger Lily's hideout but as the Winx fly over various terrains, Matt is stuck having to brave through neck-deep swamps, fields full of geysers and steep cliffsides. Naturally, these environments frighten him, causing him to ask if they have reached Tiger Lily's hideout every time he manages to brave through treacherous terrain. Eventually, Aisha tells him that he has asked if they made it yet about 94 times since they left and Matt remarks over how she makes traveling look so easy thanks to her wings.

As Aisha and Matt bicker, Bloom notices something strange at the top of the cliff and the group of seven soon find themselves in a clearing littered with spears with a red tent in the middle. Matt is quickly creeped out by all of the spears and the skull-like mask at the front of the tent and proposes that they just go back now that they know Tiger Lily is not home. Unfortunately for him, Bloom and Musa approach the tent as Bloom comments over feeling like she is being watched. Suddenly, Tiger Lily springs from the inside of her tent with a spear in hand and charges at Matt with it. Aisha tries to intercept her but Tiger Lily leaps over her and stabs at one of the Queen's shadows that was lurking behind him. Afterwards, Aisha approaches the cowering Matt and tells him to relax as Tiger Lily was not aiming for him. Matt asks who she was aiming for if it was not him and Aisha points out all of the encroaching shadow monsters that seemed to have followed them to Tiger Lily's hideout.

The Winx, Tiger Lily and Matt quickly get into their positions and engage in a battle against the horde of shadow monsters. Tiger Lily comes to Matt's rescue during a portion of the fight and shows him how to truly attack by taking out three monsters all at once with her stone axe as Flora comes to Bloom's aid when she gets attacked from behind. Sometime during the fight, Tiger Lily and Aisha end up pressed against each other's backs as they are surrounded by shadow monsters, though, the two are able to dispose of them easily. That is until Aisha hastily attacks an approaching monster and leaves her back open to attacks. Luckily for her, Tiger Lily slays the shadow monster before it attacks and she scolds Aisha by telling her to think before she acts, leaving Aisha with nothing to say but "thank you" flatly.

Matt ends up being chased and tripped by one of the shadow monsters but is able to quickly get back on his feet as it prepares to throw a ball of shadows at him. Just before it throws the ball though, Matt remembers his earlier training with Aisha and readies his stance. He then dodges the ball of shadows successfully and Aisha proudly states that she was at least able to teach him one thing, which prompts Matt to give her a thumbs up.

Eventually, Stella gets tired of "playing around" and uses her light powers to dispose of all the remaining shadow monsters. With no more enemies around, Tiger Lily thanks the Winx for their help and reveals that the Queen's army of shadows has always been on her tail. Bloom claims that she knows just what she means and Tiger Lily goes on to tell them that she has never been able to defeat them like today, but only scatter them around. Bloom quickly realizes that she has not formally introduced her and her friends but Tiger Lily reveals that she already knows who they are as the Spirit of the World of Dreams had announced their arrival to her earlier. Aisha then asks if she knows why they came to her as well, which Tiger Lily confirms but refuses to train Matt and even insists that no one can. She goes on to explain that Matt can become a hero only if he finds and obtains a legendary object. This object being the Barrie Sword, a sword formerly owned by Peter Pan that he took with him when he left Neverland. All of this causes Matt to gush over how he has always had a fondness for swords, even to the point where he believes that their new quest for this Barrie Sword must be the work of destiny, and Tiger Lily reaffirms her earlier statement: that Matt can only become a real hero after he finds the sword.

Back on Earth, the Winx and Matt wonder how they will be able to find the Barrie Sword in their Winxmobile. Tecna remembers that the last person Peter Pan had contacted was Wendy Darling and suggests that they can try to ask her about it. Hearing her mention Wendy's name sparks more enthusiasm in Matt as he expresses his confidence in Wendy being the one who can help them find his sword until Aisha corrects him by pointing out that it is his father's sword. Stella yawns and Bloom proposes that they all start up the search first thing in the morning since it is already too late. Aisha tells Matt that he can sleep on one of the couches but Matt feels like he will not be able to sleep after the eventful day he has had. Aisha then claims that that would be even better as they need to stay alert at all times.

Later that night, everyone in the Winxmobile except for Aisha is fast asleep. Aisha then hears a strange noise coming from outside and tries to wake the rest of the girls but to no avail, so she suits up and ventures outside to check. As she searches the perimeter of the Winxmobile, a sinister presence watches just overhead before drifting elsewhere. The presence's movements cause the abandoned crane's hook to move which puts Aisha on high alert. She leaps into a battle-ready stance and demands for the presence to show itself only to be met by a woman's voice telling her to "just look up." When she does so, she finds herself face to face with her Nemesis, Sinka, who descends from above as she remarks on how easy it was to lure Aisha out.

Aisha readies herself into an offensive stance again as Sinka comments over how she has always been so hot tempered. Aisha demands to know what Sinka wants with her and Sinka claims that she wants nothing more than to play with her and her friends for awhile. Aisha then kicks at Sinka only to have her attack blocked by a strange yellow shield of energy that blows her back. Sinka watches as one of the golden rings on her sleeves begin to glow and taunts Aisha for not meeting her expectations. Aisha insists that it was nothing but a warm up as she picks herself up and charges at Sinka, only to be blown back a second time by the same yellow shield. As Aisha crashes into some metal barrels next to the Winxmobile, another pair of Sinka's rings begin to glow and she taunts Aisha some more over how "hilarious" she finds her to be. Aisha charges at Sinka a third time only for Sinka to blast her back with an attack of her own, causing the third pair of her gold rings to glow. Aisha then picks herself up again and tosses a tidal wave at Sinka to see if she would still find her to be hilarious and the wave seems to knock Sinka away.

The rest of the Winx quickly rush outside after hearing all of the noise and Bloom asks what is going on. Aisha claims that she just defeated her Nemesis only to be met with a nasty surprise when Sinka emerges from the waters completely unscathed. Aisha's over-confidence causes her to belt out in laughter as the fourth pair of rings on each of her sleeves begin to glow. She then uses her powers to take control of the water around her as she mocks Aisha for jumping the gun and uses her newly-created tornadoes to capture the Winx, leaving Aisha as her only combatant. She then launches her other tornado at Aisha which somehow flings her right into the back of the Winxmobile and tauntingly asks if Aisha still feels like playing with her.

22- "La Spada Dell'eroe" ("A Hero Will Come")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

The battle between Sinka and Aisha continues to rage on and Sinka proves to have the advantage in the battle as Aisha is left trying to regain her composure while on the ground. Sinka continues to torment the rest of the Winx by keeping them trapped within her tornadoes as they struggle to breathe and free themselves.

Picking herself up from the ground, Aisha tries to launch more seawater at Sinka but Sinka simply absorbs both torrents of water and brandishes a menacing smile as she shows Aisha that her efforts are fruitless. She then transfers the energy she gained from Aisha's attack into her tornadoes to amplify the pain that the Winx are already struggling to endure and sends a powerful gust of wind in Aisha's direction. Aisha tries her best to stand firmly against the wind but it does not take long before she is eventually swept away and thrown into the fence behind her.

Sinka approaches the fallen water fairy and tauntingly asks where all her power went as she prepares yet another attack. Aisha is barely able to dodge Sinka's torrent of water and is still unable to properly get back onto her feet. Sinka then asks Aisha if she is ready to end their "little game" and if she is truly trying to give up. As Aisha hears all of this, she thinks back to Tiger Lily advising her to think before acting and she begins to question why Sinka keeps going out of her way to taunt her. Peering back at her Nemesis, Aisha realizes that Sinka seems to be feeding on her force through the golden rings that adorn her forearms and stands back on her feet after formulating a plan.

Sinka raises the Winx higher into the air as Aisha approaches her and quickly finds herself shocked when Aisha tells her that she knows why Sinka is so strong. She then shouts out to the Winx asking if they trust her and after they confirm that they do, she snaps her fingers, completely dispelling Sinka's tornadoes! Sinka quickly looks back at her gold rings and becomes even more distressed as she can do nothing but watch them lose their shine, signalling the loss of her collective powers.

All the Winx land on their feet when they finally hit the ground except for Stella who lands flat on her stomach. Aisha reaches out to help her friend up while asking her if she is okay. Stella accepts Aisha's offer and dusts herself off as she warns Aisha that the next time she asks such a thing, she will respond by telling her that she does not trust her. The Winx all chuckle to themselves at Stella's display until they are interrupted by Sinka who demands to know what Aisha thinks she is doing. Aisha turns around but does not respond which prompts Sinka to demand that she attack her already. That is when Aisha reveals that she is already attacking Sinka and reveals that she figured out that her gold wristbands allow for her to feed off the energy of her attacks, so if she no longer launches attacks, Sinka is left without the power needed to sustain herself. Realizing her imminent demise, Sinka pleads for Aisha to stop but Aisha simply tells her that she does not feel like playing anymore. She and the Winx then watch on as Sinka's form collapses in on itself and explodes in a flash of bright blue light.

With her Nemesis defeated, the Winx all rush at Aisha as Bloom embraces her friend, relieved that she made it out relatively unharmed. Aisha confesses that her mental fight with Sinka has left her utterly destroyed, almost like when she had to train Matt, and naturally they all laugh at her joke.

Speaking of Matt, he is still fast asleep inside the Winxmobile dreaming about getting to watch the Winx perform on their world tour from backstage and he had not woken up one bit despite all the noise caused from Aisha's fight with her Nemesis. Aisha comments on how he is practically sleeping like a baby as Tecna laments over how everything around Matt looks like a tornado struck. Aisha then grabs hold of the starry blanket that had fallen to the floor and puts it away, but this upsets Tecna and prompts her to properly fold the blanket before putting it away in a nearby cabinet. Aisha and Musa giggle to themselves as Tecna proudly proclaims that the cabinet is where the blanket goes and Tecna wrestles with Matt over a pillow that he is not using shortly after. Tecna is successful in retrieving the pillow from Matt but knocked him to the floor in the process. Surprisingly, Matt still stays asleep as Tecna proudly fluffs up the pillow, claiming it to be "much better" now. Bloom then announces that now is the time to finally pay Wendy a visit and so Aisha conjures up a bucket of water directly over the still-sleeping Matt.

Little do they know is that Tinkerbell and the Shaman have been watching the whole scene play out from the dark fairy queen's mirror and a sneer crosses Tinkerbell's face as if she found what she needed to launch her next attack. She looks over to the Shaman to ask if he saw "that" and when he shows confusion over what she is talking about, she rewinds what was recorded on her mirror to show him. The two of them watch the scene where Tecna folds the blanket and places it back in the cabinet after Aisha carelessly placed it on a nearby table unfold again and Tinkerbell explains to the Shaman that Tecna is a control freak, someone who needs to keep everything in proper order.

By morning, the Winx return to Wendy Darling's house with Matt in tow and once inside, Wendy decides to take a little selfie with the six fairies so that she can place the picture in the orphanage's smile book, but before she can get too absorbed with that, Bloom taps her on the shoulder. She then claims that she and the Winx came with a surprise for Wendy and they all step away to reveal that Matt had been standing by her doorstep. Wendy finds herself taken aback by Matt now that he's all grown up and Matt happily hugs Wendy. She then steps back, still barely able to recognize the young man and asks how he feels being the driver to some of the greatest popstars in the world, to which Matt claims to actually being their manager; something that immediately puts Aisha on edge. Bloom clarifies that they returned to Wendy's home in search of an item that Matt's father, Peter Pan, once owned. Wendy quickly recites a phrase written in Peter's last letter to herself and looks back at Matt to tell him that he looks just like his father.

She walks over to her desk as Matt sit himself down across from her and the Winx follow suit. Once seated, Matt reveals that they are looking for Peter Pan's sword and to keep things brief, Bloom simply states that the whole of the World of Dreams will fall to ruin if they do not find it. Matt tries to boast about being the hero destined to save the World of Dreams but he falls backwards to the floor after trying to lean on his chair. He tries to laugh it off as Wendy playfully asks if Matt really is the hero the World of Dreams needs as he used to be such a skittish child who would fear his own shadow. Matt finally stands back up and places the chair back where it was before smiling back at Bloom. Seeing this causes Wendy to realize that the reasons behind Matt becoming a hero are just part of another long story, so she gets up from her seat and leads Matt and the Winx to Peter's old room.

When the group finds themselves in Peter Pan's old room, Matt quickly remembers also living there in his youth. He and the Winx search around the room but find nothing but old toys and they all are quick to express their frustration over being unable to find the sword or, at the very least, a clue that would lead them to it. Seeing how down his new friends are, Matt decides to twirl the small wooden model boat at the top of his index finger as he tells them to chin up since he is the chosen one. In classic Matt fashion, the model boat falls from his grasp and snaps in half after crashing onto the floor. Wendy enters the room after hearing the crash but is not upset or angry. Instead, she tells Matt and the Winx about how Peter would play with his model gallion for hours, recreating his countless battles against the dastardly Captain Hook. Matt picks up the broken model gallion and nervously proposes that they get some glue to fix it up but he is interrupted when a small blue book slides out from inside one of the halves. Wendy picks up this book and is surprised to see that it is a book of Peter's old notes as she thought that it disappeared along with him.

Matt and the Winx gather around Wendy as she skims through the old notebook until they come across a page with a drawing of a neighborhood. Matt takes the book and realizes that one of the houses is drawn in a way that could only be done by someone who could fly directly above the house. Wendy also soon realizes that the map is one of the neighborhood here she grew up. Remembering the phrase from his father's last letter, Matt brings out the note and the kaleidoscope as if he had just picked up something important. It does not take long for Matt to find what he was looking for and he approaches the group with the old notebook as he asks if the phrase "the second to your right" was not solely talking about the star that led him to the woman he fell in love with. Bloom asks if it could mean anything else to which Matt reveals that it could also be talking about the location of the sword's hiding place!

Taking another look at the map, Wendy begins to believe Matt's train of thought and confirms the more detailed house on the map to be her childhood home as Peter used to pay her visits from time to time. Matt becomes ecstatic over finally uncovering the true meaning behind the mysterious phrase and Wendy reveals that she heard rumors of a strange art collector living in her old home now. Bloom claims that they should check out the place but do so while disguised as fellow art collectors, and this naturally prompts Stella to pull out her trusty portable sewing machine, SuperSue.

A short while later, Matt and the Winx arrive at the art collector's house and are met by a tired-looking butler after ringing the doorbell. Stella immediately steps up and tries to fake a British accent as she also tries to engage in casual conversation. She fails spectacularly but despite the Winx's silent protests, Stella continues and makes up an excuse that she and her friends were contacted by the master of the house concerning some vases. The butler asks if she is talking about the ritual urns but Matt quickly becomes impatient and tells his "assistants" to leave with him. He scoffs the butler for suspecting that they came to talk about art pieces left on stoops and calls off the deal, claiming that they can look for priceless art pieces for their collection elsewhere. The butler quickly calls for Matt to wait and apologizes for not realizing that they were also art collectors. This naturally ticks Stella off as she thought it was obvious given how they look and so the butler tells them that he will notify his young master Sebastian of their arrival and desire to meet with him.

Once inside, Matt and the Winx take a quick look around the large foyer as Bloom praises Matt on his quick thinking. They are then notified that Sebastian is ready to speak with them by the butler and are led down another room where they come face to face with the eccentric young art collector. He politely greets the group and shakes Matt's hand as claims that his butler, Godfred, told him about them being fellow art collectors. Matt greets Sebastian in return, introducing himself as "Mac Matt-Mac" and the Winx as his assistants, something that greatly gets on Aisha's nerves. Sebastian then nudges Stella and tells her that she was right about the vases as one should never show off their things. As he walks off to another part of the room, Stella gives a small victory sign to Matt and the girls since her spectacular slip-up from earlier ended up paying off somehow.

Sebastian throws himself on one of the couches in the room and guesses that Matt and his assistants came by to peruse his various art pieces. Matt sits himself down on the couch across from Sebastian and tells him that he enjoys collecting various swords in particular as the Winx (excluding Tecna) look around the room for any clues. The two young men eventually come to an agreement as Sebastian shows Matt in the direction of his collection hall, however, he insists that Matt's assistants stay outside as he only allows for a maximum of three people to enter the hall. The Winx reluctantly allow for Matt to enter Sebastian's collection hall with Stella by his side as the rest of them wait outside in the main foyer.

Aisha sits herself down on one of the staircases and threatens to blow up if someone refers to them as "Matt's assistants" one more time. Bloom simply dismisses Aisha's compliant as she believes this to be the chance that they have been waiting for.

As they begin their search, Sebastian shows Matt and Stella around his collection hall while asking various questions concerning the artists behind some of his collections. The goofy duo manages to answer Sebastian's questions and make a few comments of their own without arousing suspicion, even when Matt mistakes one of Sebastian's teacups to be a valuable art piece.

Back in the main foyer, the Winx take a quick look around but are unable to find the Barrie Sword or any major clues pointing towards it. During their search, Tecna finds herself getting strange feelings from a large mirror but before she can touch it, Godfred warns for them not to touch any of Sebastian's prized pieces as he forbids people from touching them.

The girls are momentarily surprised by the sight of Godfred on the stairwell dusting a few other paintings and Bloom sheepishly tells the butler that she is sure that such valuable art pieces require heavy maintenance. Godfred then tells Bloom that Sebastian requires that his pieces be properly dusted every two days and Bloom comments over how long it must take doing such a thing. Godfred clarifies that it takes exactly 5 hours 42 minutes and 28 seconds before leaving for another part of the villa to continue his work.

With Godfred gone, Tecna tells the Winx that she wants to try checking something and begins to focus her powers. When Bloom asks what she is trying to do, she reveals that she is going to use her special Onyrix Power, her Logical Vision, to check if there are any hidden secrets within the foyer. With a quick scan of the room with her enhanced eyesight, Tecna finds that everything within the foyer is clean except for the large mirror and the painting next to it; both of which are either covered in or contain dust. She then approaches the small painting, places her hand on it and, upon touching its edge, moves it aside when she realizes that there is something hidden behind it. Once she moves the painting, she and the Winx are intrigued to find a dusty control panel under the painting; one that looks like it had not been used in years.

Bloom suspects that this control panel or keyboard may be connected to the mirror and that the mirror itself may be hiding some kind of passage behind it, however, in that moment, Sebastian, Matt and Stella step out of the collection hall. Sebastian asks if any of his pieces suited Matt's tastes and if he would like to make him an offer, however, he is quickly distracted by the sight of the rest of the Winx who are all standing just in front of the mirror smiling. Seeing this prompts Matt to apologize for wasting Sebastian's time as he does not have any offers to make, but before he can leave, Tecna cuts in to tell him that, as his most trusted assistants, she and the Winx believe that he would be very interested in the mirror behind them. Sebastian becomes a bit nervous about this sudden change in direction and tells the group that the mirror is nothing more than an old family relic with no real value. Tecna then apologizes and clarifies that she was talking about what the mirror hides, not the mirror itself, but this only leaves Sebastian confused. As she approaches Sebastian, Tecna insists that every true art collector always has a hidden section where he hides his best pieces and winks at Matt, who quickly picks up on her signal and insists that he taught her everything she knows. Sebastian chuckles to himself, claiming that he now knows that he is dealing with true professionals, and approaches the painting next to the mirror. Matt lets out a cheer before asking if this means he will let them into his secret collection and Sebastian confirms this, but only on one condition: that they help him evaluate everything that is contained within it.

After entering a passcode onto the keyboard behind the painting, Sebastian reveals that there lies an old trunk that belonged to the former residents of his villa down there and Tecna whispers to Matt that the Sword may very well be inside this trunk. Suddenly, Matt experiences a short vision of a sword's hilt sticking out of a large trunk and informs Tecna of this, even going on to start believing that he may have some sort of magical bond with the Sword. He and Tecna are quickly cut off by Sebastian who wishes to know if they have a deal to which Matt hastily accepts.

Pressing a button on the keyboard, Sebastian lifts the glass of the mirror upwards and reveals a lift just inside it. Before they can do anything though, Sebastian tells them that the lift is not very spacious so not all of them can fit, so Matt proposes that his assistants go down to the vault to see if they have what it takes. Aisha naturally becomes enraged with such a claim and stomps over to Matt, ready to beat him, but she is stopped by Bloom, who steps out in between her and Matt. She then pushes a frustrated Aisha into the lift as she tells the rest of the Winx to go down into the vault. Though confused by Aisha's display, Sebastian accepts Matt's proposal and tells him that they will be able to keep track of them through the small monitor just above the keys.

Once they are all inside, the Winx descend into Sebastian's secret art vault and quickly find themselves within it. Stella marvels at the pieces and tries to step out to get a closer look only to be stopped by Sebastian's voice coming from a monitor within the lift. It turns out that he still needs to deactivate the security systems and so Tecna whips out her Winxwatch to scan the vault in front of them. Just like Sebastian said, there are a multitude of infrared lasers active throughout the vault but it does not take long for Sebastian to shut them off.

He and Matt continue to watch as the Winx now scour the secret vault. It is then that Sebastian reveals that the monitor is connected to every camera within the villa and through this keyboard, he can freely control every room.

Meanwhile, the Winx find themselves in awe of Sebastian's secret collection as Aisha even comments on how it feels like they are inside a museum. They continue perusing the collection as Sebastian and Matt monitor them from the main foyer, however, the monitor's footage suddenly becomes filled with static like someone or something is interfering with it. Sebastian tries to fix the issue but things quickly take a harsh turn when the door to the vault slams shut and the lights start to flicker. He becomes frantic but tries to keep his cool so that he can regain control over the situation. When Matt asks what happens, Sebastian explains that the door to the vault slammed shut and due to this, the security system will automatically reactivate even with the Winx still inside!

The Winx can do nothing but watch as the lights finally switch off and the art pieces become blocked out by metal curtains. Bloom advises for the girls to be on guard and the six fairies quickly get suited up to prepare for any sneak attacks.

Back in the main foyer, Sebastian quickly becomes more and more visibly panicked as this has never happened before and frantically tries to get the Winx out of the vault before they end up seriously hurt.

However, unbeknownst to him, the Winx are capable of dodging the security lasers. They all manage to dodge incoming lasers but only by the skin of their teeth, so Tecna notifies Stella to use her powers against the lasers. Stella nods in agreement and stretches her arms out to focus all the lasers at her. Using her magic over light, Stella takes control of the laser beams and redirects all of them at the security machines, destroying them all.

Unfortunately, the Winx have no time to rest as once the security machines have been disposed of, a maniacal laugh rings out from somewhere else in the vault. Tecna demands for the one behind the voice to show themselves only for a vent just above them to open and let out a strange foam that seems to keep their feet in place! Using her Winxwatch, Tecna finds out that the foam being released is a strange kind of paralysing foam and hearing this prompts Aisha into punching the foam to send it back up the vent it came from.

Now freed, Aisha reminds the girls that her powers over fluids came also come in handy when it comes to foam, but they are interrupted by that maniacal laugh. As the six fairies prepare for another surprise, Sebastian manages to reactivate the vault's lights but does not stop there. Matt asks Sebastian what would happen if they are unable to get the girls out of the vault as Sebastian continues pressing keys and Sebastian reveals that if he cannot get them out, then Matt may never see them again in one piece.

Back inside the vault, a sparkling blue gas begins to fill it from several vents. Using her Winxwatch a third time, Tecna tells the girls that the gas is a cryogenic one, but the girls are still left at a loss of what to do. Unable to resist the gas for much longer, Tecna demands for the person behind this to show themselves and is surprised to see a robotic woman appear before her. This woman then zips behind Tecna at incredible speeds and playfully begins to disappear and reappear somewhere else nearby upon seeing Tecna's frightened expression.

As Tecna tries to regain her composure, she also tries to keep the Winx from succumbing to the cold.

23- "Trappola Tecnomagica" ("Technomagic Trap")
Airdate: June 16, 2017

With the rest of the Winx knocked out after being unable to resist the cryogenic gas, Tecna demands to know who the robotic woman is and what her motives are. The woman appears just before her and formally introduces herself as Virus, the one who came to bring uncontrollable chaos her way. Meanwhile, in the main foyer, Sebastian is unable to get the lift working. When Matt asks if there is any other way to get into the vault, Sebastian reveals that the engineers who designed so that the lift is the only way in and out of it.

Tecna begins to succumb to the effects of the cryogenic gas but just before she is knocked unconscious, she feels strong vibrations coming from the wall to her left. Also noticing how the wall is much colder in that general area, Tecna decides to use her technomagic to connect herself to the vault's main electronics system to stop the gas. She is successful in doing so and the rest of the Winx quickly regain consciousness with the gas gone.

Just as the Winx prepare for another one of Virus' attacks, Virus herself reappears just above them and targets Stella for a direct attack. After picking her out, Virus speeds towards the sun fairy and pierces through her once she transforms into a flash of blue light. Stella recoils from the attack and when she opens her eyes again, they flash a bright green. As the Winx are left to figure out what just happened, Virus dashes through Bloom, Musa, Aisha and Flora to do the same, leaving Tecna is her only combatant. With a clap of her hands, Bloom belts out a maniacal laugh as she and the other four fairies leave Tecna to stand by Virus, showing that they are now under her control. Virus then disappears only to reappear behind Tecna to watch as Bloom makes the first attack.

Tecna is forced to dodge Bloom's punches as she is naturally reluctant to hurt her but when Bloom shows no signs of letting up, Tecna uses her technomagic to trap her friend inside a large cage. She then has to dodge a barrage of light blasts from Stella, which end up giving Bloom the chance to break free from Tecna's cage. However, Tecna simply erects a much larger cage to trap both Bloom and Stella inside. After dodging an attack from Aisha and Musa, Tecna tries to reach out to them and Flora only for Virus to appear behind them laughing triumphantly. She taunts Tecna by telling her that they are no longer her friends as the technological fairy ends up with her back up against a wall. Regaining her composure, Tecna uses her magic to surround herself in a technomagic shield against Aisha, Flora and Musa, but Musa uses her magic to knock out a light directly above Tecna, causing the sparks to rain down on her.

Back in the main foyer, Sebastian unintentionally makes the situation worse by activating the emergency mode. Meanwhile, Matt is pacing about trying to get an idea to come to him. Vines slowly begin slipping through the cracks and corners of Tecna's shield until they completely cover its surface and shatter it to pieces, leaving Tecna vulnerable. Virus lets out another laugh as she skates across the vault, boasting over how she took over the Winx's minds by hacking into their source codes. After hearing this, Tecna closes her eyes to take a more technological look of her surroundings which allow her to track Virus' movement more clearly. After figuring out her movements, Tecna uses her magic to trap Virus within a cage but Virus easily disposes of it with a powerful burst of lightning. The attack proves to be so powerful that Tecna ends up being flung to another part of the room and as she tries to get back on her feet, Virus lets out her trademark laugh before telling Tecna that it is over for her.

As Sebastian continues trying to regain control of his system, Matt focuses his powers together to try and help the Winx with whatever they are facing. He is eventually able to contact Tecna with telepathy and tells her to "look at the chest." Tecna quickly glances over to her right and sees the hilt of a sword poking out from a nearby chest. The hilt begins to glow as Matt also begins to feel its presence, realizing that it is a part of him, and tries to focus his magic some more to move to the Sword closer to her. Though he struggles, he is able to bring in close enough for Tecna to grab it and he entrusts the Sword of his father and its powers to her in this fight.

Now with the Sword in hand, Tecna rushes at Virus but none of her hits land. Virus simply laughs at her as she dashes around and claims that she cannot be defeated like that because she is too predictable. That is when Matt speaks to Tecna telepathically again and advises for her to allow the Sword to guide her—to let go of logic and follow her instincts. Tecna takes Matt's words to heart as she closes her eyes to do just that. Seeing the world around her as a simple purple grid, Tecna begins to realize that Virus holds no power over her if she stops using logic behind her moves and upon seeing an opening, she swings the Sword and manages to slice her Nemesis in half. Virus' already chaotic form is disrupted by the blow and she explodes in a flash of green light and bits of code.

With Virus destroyed, the rest of the Winx are freed from her mind control and left believing it all to be one bad nightmare. They then approach Tecna as Bloom thanks her for breaking them out of Virus' spell and Tecna claims that the fight taught her that sometimes it is more beneficial to follow her instincts. Aisha comments over how she wishes she could have seen that and Tecna admits to it being a bit thrilling in a strange way. Suddenly, the entrance to the vault unlocks and Tecna wonders how they will be able to explain the mess left behind from the fight to Sebastian. Bloom claims that it would be much better if they do not explain it at all and with a snap of her fingers, everything is restored and she and the Winx are back in the disguises they came in.

When Sebastian and Matt finally make it down to the vault, the two young men are greeted by the sight of the Winx standing in the middle of Sebastian's collection as if nothing had happened. Seeing the Sword in Tecna's hand, Matt remarks over how amazing it looks while Sebastian begins to question if it may be a valuable item after all despite having been left behind by the villa's previous owners. Matt insists that it is the most valuable thing in the world to him because it used to belong to his absent father but before Sebastian can hear any of this, Tecna elbows Matt in his side, prompting him to shout over how he simply thinks it is great. Sebastian approaches Bloom to apologize about them being locked in his vault but he finds it strange how nothing happened as he was sure that the security system had fully activated. Bloom dismisses this by claiming that it may have malfunctioned and Sebastian simply comments on how lucky they were that it did, otherwise they would not be alive right now. To make up for what happened, Sebastian decides to give Matt the Sword as a gift and Matt thanks him for the generous gesture as it means more to him than Sebastian would ever know. Sebastian then decides to formally give Matt and the Winx a tour around his secret collection, during which Matt decides to give him a piece of advice: to stop locking his dreams inside a room. Naturally, Sebastian is reluctant to do so as he greatly values all the pieces within his collection. Matt agrees that they are indeed beautiful but because Sebastian keeps them hidden within the depths of his villa, they remain unknown to the world, almost as if they just do not exist. Sebastian realizes what Matt is saying as Matt continues telling him to spread this beauty throughout the world. Sebastian remembers his dream of opening his own museum and Matt urges for him to follow this dream as it will make him happy. Sebastian thanks Matt for his advice and Matt tells him that if he needs help, his lovely assistants will be there to lend a hand.

Once they are back in the Winxmobile, Matt confirms that the Sword is indeed the one they are looking for as the power coursing through it is the same power he used to help Tecna down in the vault.
