Winx Club S6 E10

## Plot

In the past three episodes, the Winx decided that they needed to learn more about the Legendarium to defeat the Trix, so they went on an international trip around Earth with Daphne as their chaperone. The Trix came along disguised as freshmen students at Alfea, but the Winx found out about it. Bloom discovered the fairy godmother Eldora's diary… and Selina. It turns out that the two used to be best friends in Gardenia, until Selina stopped hanging out with her. The girls decided to track Eldora's movements with hot air balloons, which took them to China, where they found a rare flower that was her favorite. No one recognized it, even Flora, so they decided to study it back at Alfea. This episode starts with the Trix taking over the Zaltora School of Psychic Arts. The guys are training in the Morphix gym, and decide to see the girls. Riven stays behind to perfect a maneuver. He does still have enough fun in him to tease Kiko though. Once the Winx find Eldora, they plan on asking her how they can lock the Legendarium for good. Palladium uses a few drops of a potion to return the real freshmen students that the Trix impersonated back to normal. He and Roxy work together to undo the spell the Trix cast on Griffon and return her to normal. The Winx show Palladium the flower, but he's never seen anything like it. He recognizes the name Eldora though. She used to teach floral magic in the Alfea greenhouse. Flora asks why she didn't know they had one. It's in the vaults. Ever since Eldora left, it's been closed down and abandoned. Selina convinces the Trix to let her go to Alfea. The guys show up, and Musa is disappointed that Riven didn't show. Selina appears, and Bloom introduces her to everyone. She claims that she was looking for Eldora too, because she's her fairy godmother, and that the Trix tried to kidnap her. Sky asks her how she knew where to find Bloom in Egypt, and she says it's because of her fairy instincts. He thinks something's off about her, but like an idiot, he just lets her go with the rest of the girls to explore the greenhouse. Come to think of it, did the girls even tell the guys that they were searching a secret greenhouse that they just found out about? I'm just saying, now that season 5 is over, the guys can help them with their missions again. Tecna does say that Selina shouldn't go in, since she has to meet with Faragonda first, as those are the rules. Bloom vouches for her though. She doesn't recognize the flower either. She casts a spell on some roses, and when Flora sniffs them, she's paralyzed. She's the only one who knows a counterspell for flowers. Can't she just tell them what it is? Or maybe one of them knows a mind reading spell? Or they can read books to find out what the counterspell is? Sure, they think she's been poisoned, so time wouldn't be on their side, but still! This is the part where one of you gets a responsible adult, like Palladium or Griselda or Faragonda, or you take Flora to the infirmary. Selina says that Eldora taught her everything about plants and their poisons. Bloom takes her to the potion room to search for the "antidote." Also, to prove that they're not totally rock stupid, Aisha says she'll get Palladium… but Selina casts a spell on some plants to attack the others. They transform to fight them. Bloom transforms to fight another plant monster in the potion room. This allows Selina to pour poison in a normal vial and pretend that it's the antidote. She tells Bloom to give it to Flora while she takes care of the plant monster. Instead, she just turns the plant back to normal and leaves. Griffon tells Faragonda and Palladium that the Trix have taken over Cloudtower, and want to rule over all the schools in the magic dimension. Sky enters and asks Faragonda if she's seen the Winx. He has a bad feeling about Selina. Griffon says that Selina is working for the Trix. Um, Selina is a super common name in the real world, so there's no way she knows if that's the same Selina. Before Bloom can give Flora the potion, Helia shoots it out of her hand and destroys it. Palladium tells her that the "antidote" is actually an extremely strong poison. She's horrified at having almost accidentally killed Flora. Palladium gives her the real antidote. She uses her magic to turn the plants back to normal. Bloom blames herself for what happened. Gee, you might have known not to trust Selina if you still had your aura seeing power from earlier seasons. Or does that power only work on Earth? While I actually do think that Bloom being so self-loathing is a natural reaction, her actions afterwards exemplify why I hate her so much, especially as the leader of the Winx, when I think someone like Aisha or Daphne would be much better at it. She once again decides to run away from her problems and give up fighting evil and saving the universe by going back to Gardenia. The others tell her that she's not to blame and that they'll give her all the space she needs here, but she says she put everyone in danger, and even though she wants to stay, she has to go. No, you really don't! Their reactions are actually pretty sad, especially Stella's, since the two are best friends. The Winx are practically sisters at this point. Daphne says that it won't be easy, but they need to let Bloom go… for now.
