S08EP1 - Night of the stars

## Winx Club - Episode 801

**"Night of the Stars"** is the first episode of the remade eighth season of Winx Club.

## Synopsis

During the night of the shooting stars, the Winx each spend their time doing something different. Later they gather around in their rooms, briefly talking about the holiday they had short time ago. Stella shows her new friend Twinkly, who she found near Solaria. The Winx don't know where she's from... or why there are Lumenian guards after them! Tecna sees them as misunderstood and offers them a ride back to where they came from. Meanwhile Bloom and Stella visit Solaria, where they have to deal with something important...

## Plot

We begin the season with Aisha and Nex walking around the park. The two walk together hand in hand. Nex is showing her the stars in the sky. Aisha looks at a moment, but then looks down. Flora and Helia were walking with eachother. Bloom was drawing Ellas. Musa was on the balcony, watching the falling stars. Tecna comes in. Musa is looking sad. After their respective times were over, they all meeted up in their ‘together room’, and they talked about the holidays they had. Then Stella tells them about the holiday she had. She also tells them about the new friend she made.

Suddenly, the Winx are threatened by the Lumens of Lumenia. Stella tries to defend her friends and the two start to fight. Tecna disagrees with this decision to fight and instead helps the Lumens to escape. Stella and Bloom decide to discuss something outside the dorms. The two talk about the things they miss and decide to make a trip on Solaria to have a good time together. The two transform into believix and then change into zoomix to teleport to Solaria.

On Solaria, the two visit Stella's room, when coincidentally, they meet Stella's father, King Radius. He tells her about the danger that Queen Dorana represents, and the importancy of safety. The two in the slighest don't understand what has truly happened, since none of them know why Lumens go after them in the first place. The two instead, have decided to spend the time together in a way they have planned to. Of course, there isn't some interplanetarian danger going on after all-

However, things get rough when the Lumens attack the two while Stella was still showing off her collection of dress. The two transform into bloomix, a form they use the most, and defend themselves. At the last, Queen Dorana herself shows up infront the two, and the two know they're in trouble.

* Originally, this episode had the lenght of 14:50, what is more or less closer to the usual runtime of a Winx episode. However, because of YouTube's copyright system, the episode had to be shortened to the 12:40 lenght, what is much less closer to the runtime than it was before. Also, the majority of the transformation sequences had to be cut out from the final version, what resulted in the runtime of 12:40.
