Winx Club season 6 episode 5 rewrite/transcript

We open on Lynphea, as a young Flora is taken by her father Rhodos to a special garden at the marigold institute: the garden of farewells. Given this is the planet of nature magic, lynpheans believe in the inherent connection between all living things, and that when they die, they live on as part of the world. This garden represents that, being a sort of cemetery where natural burials are held, and the soil is cultivated into new flowers and trees to celebrate this eternal cycle. Rhodos shows flora a particular rose tree, from which grows green, pearl, and peach-colored roses. Flora asks why her mother didnt want to come, and rhodos explains that she does'nt like to talk about the story behind this tree. Flora asks why, and who this tree is for, and rhodos explains its for the sister Flora never had the chance to meet. We then cut to the present, where Flora - along with the other winx - are aboard the hawk, the largest of the redfountain spacecrafts, as the specialists, nabu, and roy escort them to cloudtower. Of course, Sky could'nt be here due to kingly duties, but bloom is lowkey grateful, since she's pretty sure seeing him right now might push her over the edge. At the very least, she's happy to be reunited with Kiko. Since this is our first time seeing most of the guys this season, we get some time to focus on their different reactions to the winx losing their memories. Out of all of them, nabu seems to be taking it the best, assessing the situation immediately and bringing up that new waves concert they both went to. Of course, Aisha corrects Nabu on the lyrics, then mentions how she had to sneak out to that concert, which Nabu says oh same, sharing how controlling his parents were as well. Essentially they're bonding all over again, while Roy is freaking out about how Aisha's parents are gonna kill him for letting this happen. Riven, however, is upset as he tries to get Musa to remember him. He regrets saying he needed space, wishing he was there to protect her. This just confuses Musa. She's even put off by him, practically hearing the discord going on around him, and the empathic capabilities of her powers are literally giving her secondhand stress from riven. Timmy, meanwhile, tries cracking jokes to break the awkwardness around tecna, and they all just fly right over Tecna's head. Since stella was already dating brandon before the first season, she does still remember him... But uh, as prince sky of Eraklyon. So when she asks why Bloom is calling him Brandon, she and Brandon glance at each other like ... We are so fucking screwed. Most of the focus, however, goes to Flora and Helia. Flora apologizes to helia about not remembering anything, but helia says she has nothing to apologize for. He's just grateful she's okay, and that no matter what, shes still the caring, strong-hearted woman he loves. Flora's taken aback, given shes never really thought of herself as strong, but Helia assures Flora that shes the strongest person hes ever met. But Flora's not so sure she believes that just yet. After arriving at cloudtower which none of the other winx are happy about given how creepy they find it, and theyre still high off the anti-witch juice all season 1 fairies were given the winx fill griffin, saladin, and the specialists in on whats happened. By which i mean bloom explains what happened at alfea, though she cant remember the name of the spell that was used on her and the winx, nor who cast it. The mention of the ancient fairy clairiel has both griffin and saladin curious, but they'll need to do some research to confirm their suspicions. In the meantime, all the alfea faculty and students are in grave danger, and the school itself has completely vanished. They can only assume the trix are using it as their new base of operations, and its only a matter of time before they strike again. Rumor even has it theyve already attacked beta academy on solaria, and the trix are calling their new coven the owls of dyamond, a name which apparently belongs to a forbidden remote moon on the edge of the magical universe. Bloom is incredibly worried about faragonda, roxy, and macy, but griffin says that worrying isn't going to do anyone any good right now. Shes interested about the transformation the great dragon mentioned, and advises the winx to focus on achieving this power to stand against the trix, and hopefully get back their memories. Griffin does mention they have a new ally to help them direct from lightrock, and the top of his graduating class at malacoy academy on koria, the planet of angelic light. She calls in Nex, a young paladin who studied under professor Avalon. When he heard about what happened at alfea, he rushed over to try and find a way to help his mentor. The group is thankful for all the help they can get. The specialists need to return to redfountain with saladin to keep watch over the school and Magix city, while roy takes nabu back to andros. Nex jokes about how he hopes to see them all again, asking if the girls mind sharing their boyfriends for a bit. Riven and Roy are especially flustered, to which Nex simply winks, and Aisha and Nabu burst out laughing. We then cut to Alfea, where all the students of Alfea college and Beta academy are forcibly gathered. The trix address them as the future witch queens of the magical universe. If the students pledge their loyalty to the owls of dyamond, they will be given everything they've ever wanted. Otherwise, theyll be sent right back to their prisons. As an example of someone who recently turned, icy asks chimera to step forth, and she transforms into her dark enchantix before saying its time the betas finally prove their power to the cowards of alfea. This manages to convince most of the beta academy students to turn and pledge themselves, finding themselves given marks provided by selina. The rest, including Roxy and Macy, are thrown back into the dungeon. Afterwards, Selina goes to her room to rest, but spots something on the floor: a drawing. She quickly realizes its one bloom must've left behind before she left. Selina simply says shes paying Bloom back, then flashes back to their first meeting in elementary school. While the other kids play with each other, selina is content to sit by the school building and read by herself. Mitzi and her friends approach, making fun of her and calling her a nerd before grabbing her book. Immediately, bloom tells them to leave selina alone. She grabbed the book, only for some of the pages to tear. After mitzi and her friends run away, bloom apologizes for the damage to selinas book, but selina is just thankful bloom was there to help. They introduce themselves, and when bloom asks why selina is alone, selina explains she just likes keeping to herself. Bloom asks if selina minds reading her book aloud to her, and selinas more than happy to oblige. Her stroll down memory lane is interrupted as the legendarium opens. Acheron is pleased with selinas deception, especially in having the trixs recruits bearing his sigil. Itll make their plans down the road far easier. She quickly closes the book as icy enters, saying she was just practicing her incantations. Icy encourages selina not to spend so much time lost in her books, saying theres no fun in taking over the universe if you cant enjoy some time with your coven. They head to faragondas office, where darcy mentions how clariel is currently down in the hall of enchantments, guarding her spell trove like a greedy dragon guards its treasure horde, never bothering to ask what selina or the trixs plan is. Anyhow, the trix have created a locator spell to find items that will satisfy the witch queen ritual. Their first target is a rose from the garden of farewells in the marigold institute on lynphea, which is connected to flora. And luckily for them, they have a lynphean princess in their captivity right now. Back at cloudtower, the winx situate themselves in the cloudtower dorms, but cant seem to shake the creepy atmosphere. Flora keeps trying to find the bright side, which everyone is annoyed by, but not as much by how stella keeps critiquing the witches interior design and need for faces on all the damn doors. Aishas just freaked out by how dark the place is, admitting shes been scared of the dark since she was little. Musa comforts her thankfully, and tecna cites that a fear of the dark is quite common, not that it helps. Bloom, meanwhile, abstains from conversation, saying she needs to focus on looking through the book of fairies, to which stella jokes about her seeming like a bigger nerd than tecna. Leafing through, bloom finally comes to the page about ardorix: a transformation of the dragon fairies of ancient domino, harnessing the dragon flame in its most primordial form. It was apparently lost to the ages, though its said ardorix has the potential to spark into the legendary power of fantasy. Her attention is called away as the girls argue over sharing their space. Flora, being a bit of a slob, leaves her things strewn over the room, and currently is trying to find places to grow plants for the place, much to the annoyance of everyone else by how much space they take up - especially when one begins speaking. Bloom tries to play mediator, saying that it could help liven up the place. It also reminds her of their first day at alfea, when she accidentally stepped on a vine of floras talking plant. It was frightening, but bloom was amazed flora could create something so complex. Flora thanks her, but admits shes always been a slob; her mother would always get on her case, trying to keep things clean and organized as possible. Remembering this clearly upsets flora. At redfountain, meanwhile, Saladin has just finished an address to not only all the students, but professional specialists across the magical universe on the current threat. Helia asks his grandfather if hes alright, and saladin assures him that it takes more than a speech to do him in. In any case, he addresses brandons squad, along with helia and roy, saying that given their close bonds with the winx, theyll need to support them in their fight to reclaim Alfea. But to do so, theyll need to step up their skills, especially with their former leader sky no longer being a specialist. The mention clearly upsets the guys, though saladin changes the subject quickly, saying that he asked nex to provide new armor and weapons from lightrock. This armor will protect them from the darkness of the witches magic, and their weapons have been bestowed with the powers of nature, courtesy of the marigold institute. Nex of course compliments Rivens appearance, as well as Roys, to which both of them are clearly flustered. Back at Cloudtower, the winx are doing an exercise led by Professor Zarathustra, which Bloom isnt keen on. They must channel and isolate their negative emotions and memories, as those are often the strongest, even when repressed. No matter how painful or dark the feelings, the winx must yield to their memories. We see glimpses of these memories: each a highlight reel of the traumatic events experienced by each winx over the course of the series. Bloom sees her powers being stolen by the trix, the revelation of sky's identity, and the fake avalon trapping her so darkar could make her become dark bloom. Stella sees the trix holding her hostage for the ring of solaria, her nearly dying in the underrealm from lack of sunlight, and her father ordering her arrest after being turned into a monster. Musa re-experiences her fathers breakdown following her mothers death, hiding as he breaks every instrument in the house. This is followed by darcy nearly crushing her with cars in magix city, her caught in a fire to save galatea, and riven nearly killing her in obsidian. Tecna sees herself falling into the omega portal, struggling to survive on the frozen prison planet. Aisha sees her being thrown from darkar's castle, her being blinded by valtor, and nabu dying as ogron enjoys her pain. The final vision we see, and the one we focus most on for right now, is floras. She sees all the times shes been hurt and nearly killed over the course of the show, with the strongest image going back to the black willow. However, while the others awaken they find flora is still in a trance. We then see a memory of flora returning home, with her mother alyssa waiting up for her, demanding to know where shes been. Flora says that she asked them if she could go to a friends, to which alyssa says flora didnt pick up her phone when she called to check in on her, and now shes 15 minutes late. Backing down, flora timidly apologizes, but alyssa doesnt respond. Flora begs her mother to talk to her, but she simply wont, only glaring coldly before she walks away. A young miele steps in, saying flora didnt do anything wrong, and alyssa scolds miele telling her to watch her tone. Relenting, flora simply goes to her room to cry. We then flash further back, this time at home as a young flora overhears her parents talking nervously one night. Her mother alyssa has fallen pregnant, and expresses how terrified she is about potentially losing another child. Rhodos tries to assure her that everything will be okay, and no matter what happens, hell be there for her as he hugs her tightly. Still, alyssa cant help but worry, and admits she still wonders what kind of person rose wouldve grown up to be. As the others try to wake flora up, we hear an abridged version of its story from the sage of lynphea, focusing on the fact its tears can reverse the flow of time. Flora finally snaps awake, and says she has to head home to lynphea immediately - alone. Bloom is against that, but the others argue as to why bloom gets a say on that. Lucy nods, saying shell take flora to the transport station in magix city. We then cut to marigold institute on lynphea, where miele practices her magic with some friends out in the quad. Since shes heard what happened at alfea, and been unable to reach flora, shes focused on her studies to distract herself. And of course, thats when her parents alyssa and rhodos arrive, thankful miele is okay and asking why she didnt answer their calls. Miele says she was in class. Alyssa isnt happy at all about that explanation, asking miele why she cant be more like flora, and accusing her of avoiding her family since she started marigold. Miele argues back that her mother said the same thing about flora leaving for alfea. Brushing mieles callout off, alyssa demands that miele come home until they find out what happened to flora, and miele refuses. Suddenly, storm clouds roll over the school. The corrupted alfea appears in the sky, and as people try to figure out whats happening, we cut to the dungeons where the students are being kept. The trix call their attention and drag krystal out of the cell, saying that shell work fabulously for their attack on marigold institute. They plan on using her as a hostage, but krystal says shes been to the school plenty of times and knows its weaknesses. She can help them conquer it. The students are shocked, and roxy is especially pissed, calling krystal a traitor. Content, the trix decide to humor krystal, and consider this a trial run for her. We then cut to faragondas office, where the trix and krystal meet up with selina and chimera. Selina summons the rose king: a powerful spirit said to protect the forests of lynphea. Its believed by lynpheans to protect the worlds nature, and would be merciless in defending its environment, so much so its why most lynpheans took to building their homes up in the trees far from the forest floor. And now, its at the beck and call of selina and the trix. Believing that the fairies and wizards here are the enemy of nature, the rose king descends. Everyone is terrified. Headmistress ishya, a powerful guru who oversees marigold institute, confronts the being, and it introduces itself as the rose king. When she welcomes him, he scoffs, saying hes no friend of lynpheans. To him, humans, fairies, witches, and all the like are nothing more than threats to the nature he protects. And so, the rose king casts a spell which turns the nature of marigold institute against the schools students. He even enlists the treants - giant humanoid trees who are meant to guard the school - in his siege. At cloudtower, the winx get news of whats happening at marigold from griffin. Bloom asserts they need to stop them, though the other winx seem hesitant. While the winx head off, griffin says shell call brandons squad and nex for backup. Flora, meanwhile, arrives at the base of the mountain leading to the water stairway. Taking a breath, she heads inside.
