Winx Club S7 E2

## Plot

In order to create her army, Kalshara needs the secret of the fairy animals, which was entrusted to the Digmoles. She has to make the last one talk. I mean, Roxy knows a good animal to human language spell that worked on Artu and Kiko. She transforms into a large lion-esque cat creature to intimidate it even more, and it turns out that she can talk in animal form. Oh god, Griselda's new voice… Roxy tells the Winx that the bird doesn't belong to any known species. Faragonda says that every fairy animal has a secret or power that could be dangerous in the wrong hands. The Digmole was the last of its kind, so they can't learn its secret power from others. However, Faragonda reveals that they can… by going back in time. Oh god, not more time travel… Whenever a show throws that in, even as its central premise, things tend to go off the rails in terms of common sense and sanity. Just try to make sense of Power Ranger Dino Charge's finale, I dare you. Anyways, Faragonda takes the girls to the Hall and Stone of Memories. She creates a Stone of Memory for each of them, even Roxy. They're basically time machines. If they change the past in any way, they could alter the present. They inexplicably get new outfits and sit on thrones to go back over a hundred years ago. I know this because in season 6, Faragonda had been the headmistress of Alfea for a century, and when the girls emerge, she isn't the headmistress. In fact, she and Griselda are students. Also, no one thought this through, because the girls are back in their normal outfits, during a time when Alfea had its students wear uniforms. The headmistress during this time is someone named Mavilla. There's a fairy animal exhibition going on. They used to live with the students at Alfea. Stella finally gives them new outfits to help them blend in. A young girl is running late and bumps into Bloom. She's carrying a Digmole. Yeah, she's a young Faragonda. Headmistress Mavilla arrives with her two ligers, and says that training a fairy animal is an essential part of a fairy's education. Roxy notes that the Rabcon and Scarret aren't behaving the way they normally would, except when the Scarret goes crazy over some moon fruit that young Faragonda conjures, so her Digmole collapses its stage, while its student is still standing on it. The Scarret attacks everyone, and the Rabcon goes on a rampage. Despite being told not to change the past, the girls finally decide to step in. Roxy's transformation sequence is reanimated, and I know it was officially said that she has Believix powers, but I don't buy that, because she looks the same. Man, it's weird to see individual leaves and trees in the forest actually be animated. I remember when it was just a green CGI blob in the earlier seasons. Roxy removes a sharp feather of the Scarret's from the Rabcon, which calms it down. Bloom saves Faragonda from falling to her death. Flora examines her, and says she just fainted. Another student saves them from dangerous Deerbeetles. It's obviously a young Kalshara. She's a fairy animal tamer. She leaves as quickly as she appeared, and doesn't say a word, much like her first appearance to the girls in bird form. Mavilla reprimands Faragonda for ruining the exhibition, putting the school and its students in danger, and losing her fairy animal. The girls finally learn who she is. Roxy tells Mavilla that they're from another school, where all fairy animals live freely in their natural habitats, basically saying that she finds past Alfea's methods to be immoral. Damn, Roxy grew a spine in three years! Mavilla says that their program is based on the Tome of Nature, a book filled with everything they know about fairy animals. And… the episode ends. There was no theme song, no recap, no next time promo. It just started and ended in exactly 22 minutes. What is going on with the YouTube channel I've been using to watch all these episodes? Don't get me wrong, it's a great channel with every single English dub, but some of its choices are weird. Like when it originally uploaded season 6 episodes, it did so in two parts. Well, if it means I never have to listen to that awful theme song or narrator ever again, then I'm game.
