The Evermoor Chronicles S1 E12

## Plot

Everyone finds out about the theft of the tapestry. Tara admits that she took it to protect it, but someone stole it from her. She will stand trial for stealing the tapestry. Fiona tries getting their lawyer from London to come, but the bridge to Evermoor is closed until the tapestry can be found. Tara is locked to a bird cage, and the bird will talk if she walks out of the house. Sorsha decides to defend Tara. She's mad at Seb, since this wouldn't have happened if he had just guarded the tapestry. Otto knows that the only way for Tara to go free is to find the tapestry. Until the third Founder is freed, the other two can only predict the future, not create it. Bridget is working on an enchantment that can hide their presence. The jury is basically a group of the oldest Evermoorians. Both sides will give their case, and then the elders pass judgement. Sorsha admits that she did tell Seb that if he had done his duty, this never would've happened. She also says that Seb did it for her, so she's the reason that the tapestry is gone. Esmeralda reminds her of the no dating rule, and expels her from the Circle. Seb tries to talk to Sorsha, but she wants to be left alone. Tara, Bella, Cam, and Otto go through the secret passageway to the Beacon. Esmeralda sews the prediction. However, all it shows is someone with a purple cloak, so it could be anyone. The kids can't find them because of the enchantment. However, Bella smells a specific emotion coming from Bridget, but she doesn't know what it is. Before they go, Bridget is able to slip something into Tara's pocket. Tara is found guilty and banished from the village. She has until sundown the next day to leave. Lacie and Esmeralda call the Circle members one by one to test the lantern out on them. It doesn't work, and they turn to stone and shrink. Tara looks in her pocket and sees the pink frog from the pilot. She realizes that Bridget is alive and heads back to the Beacon. Otto wants to find the tapestry, but Bella wants to figure out that specific smell. She smells the same thing coming from Otto, who was feeling fear at being found out. Specifically, that Bella would find out about his growing attraction for her. Well, that came out of left field. I still ship it. Otto realizes that the tapestry is in the Beacon and heads back there. Tara almost touches the lantern, which would mean she'd finally be out of the way. However, Otto comes in and pushes her out of the way. He touches the lantern instead, and turns to stone.

## Plot

In Meridian, Phobos is refreshing his powers, but they're not as great as before. He has to find his sister. She's 13 years old. Cedric is going to steal birth records from Heatherfield to narrow their search. It's Will's birthday on Friday. Irma overhears and wants to throw her a party, but Will makes her promise not to. Irma tells the others that Will's birthday is Friday. Cornelia, Taranee, and Hay Lin decide to throw Will a surprise party so Irma can still keep her promise. They invite lots of people, including Cornelia's best friend Elyon, her friend Alchemy, and Martin, who has a huge crush on Irma, who doesn't reciprocate. They decide to go with a frog theme, since Will likes frogs. Yan Lin gives Hay Lin a map of Heatherfield. It's blank unless it's activated by the Heart of Kandrakar. Caleb wants to give Will something for her birthday, but he doesn't know what to get her. Meridian's celebrations and customs are *very* different. Cedric arrives on Earth and breaks into City Hall. Will and Irma go to the surprise party with Taranee. Caleb gives Will a hand carved picture of herself in Guardian mode. All the girls at the party think that Caleb is really cute. Irma and Hay Lin hear a call on the police radio about the break-in at city hall. Irma's dad is a cop. They all head to city hall. Will holds the Heart over the map. Three X's appear. Two are red, and one is green. The two red ones represent the two portals they had previously closed, and the green one is a new one that they also have to close. They enter city hall. Cedric retrieves the birth records. He fights the Guardians and gets away with the records. The animation in the fight could've been better. The fight itself was fine, but there were a lot of errors. For example, in her initial design, Irma had a pink top and a blue skirt, but in the show itself they ended up swapping the colors around. You can still see the earlier design during the theme song and a few times during this episode, like the fight scene. It just throws me off and bugs me a bit, that's all. Cedric wipes the floor with them. Nothing they throw at him so much as phases him, and he just smacks them around with his tail. The girls believe that Phobos may be looking for them. Back at Irma's house, Will blushes when she sees Matt Olsen, another boy who was invited to the party.

## Review

This was a good episode. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why Will didn't want to have a party. Then as I was watching the episode for the review, it hit me. Will and her mom never mention Will's dad until he shows up partway through season 2. He and Susan are divorced. This is probably Will's first time celebrating her birthday without her dad, and she feels lonely, so she doesn't want to have a party. That's so sad! Or it's because she's still new to town, and aside from the other girls, Caleb, and Elyon, she might not have any friends.

## Plot

It looks like Vathek has been captured, but the person who captured him is really Caleb in disguise. He asks the whispering flowers about Phobo's plans for Elyon. They won't tell him. Mrs. Rudolph, Will's math teacher, asks her to come to her house, and the other girls come too. It's revealed that she's really a creature from Meridian named Galgheita, and the one who brought Elyon to Earth with the Seal of Phobos. She lost it though, and never wanted to look for it. Elyon's power closed the portal behind them. The Seal can only open things. Elyon contacted her last night and asked her to summon the leader of the guardians there. Elyon appears above them, and asks them to stop searching for her. They try to tell her about Phobos, but she doesn't believe them. I actually kind of like her for once in this scene, because she's doing it to keep them safe from Phobos. So she does still care about them, in her own weird way. On Meridian, Blunk finds the seal. All these years, and it was under a *grate*. Seriously. Maybe only passlings can fit through the openings, I don't know. Caleb keeps running and hiding from the guards, and Blunk unknowingly creates portals all over town. The girls wonder if maybe they've been wrong about Phobos this whole time. If that's true, then that means they can be normal teenage girls again. Seriously? You've seen for yourselves what this guy and his minions are capable of! Why are you even considering this? When the girls discover the portals, they close them, unknowingly getting rid of Caleb's chances to escape. They realize that Blunk is creating all the portals with the seal. It attacks them, it and the Heart interact, and the Heart absorbs the seal into itself, giving it the ability to open portals. Caleb is caught and sent to the work camps. The girls see that he's in trouble and rescue him and the other rebels. They use the seal's power to finally open the Book of Secrets. In five days, Elyon's powers will reach their peak, and Phobos will drain all of her power for himself and turn her into a black rose. Oh, and Caleb kissed Cornelia on the cheek, but they're not dating yet. I think.

## Review

This was a good episode. So, is Caleb talking to the whispering flowers a reference to the fact that he was one in the comics, but more humanoid? Then he was transformed into a flower by Phobos. Then he was freed by Cornelia. Then he became a guard on Meridian. Long story short, he and Elyon fell in love. Ew! I think the animated series' version of events is better. He and Cornelia remained good friends in the comics, though.

## Plot

Because of Ryuuguu Komachi, 765 Pro has been invited to an annual sports competition. But not to watch though, to compete! Makoto and Iori are fighting. They're paired together for the three-legged race. During Azusa's event, everyone focuses on her instead of the girl who came in 1st place. The girls lose a majority of the events, but Miki wins one in an upset. This upsets the girl who came in 2nd place. She and the girl from before are on the Bullet-Speed team. Miki is still focused on joining Ryuuguu Komachi. They have a chance to win the Idols' Division Award. Yayoi competes in the obstacle course. She and the Bullet-Speed girl (Hikari) bump into each other though, and they both lose. Hikari insults Yayoi, calling her a burden to the team, which hurts her confidence. At halftime, Jupiter performs. They're a boy band of idols. (Wait, male idols? WTHeck?) Haruka met one of them in the 2nd episode. Haruka and Hibiki compete in cheer leading. The Bullet-Speed girls and Hikari ask their producer to do something about them. The girls apparently know the idols from 876 Pro. They're Ai, Eri and Ryou. Surprisingly, 765 Pro is in 1st place. Because Iori and Makoto lack teamwork, they fall and lose the three legged race. As if that wasn't bad enough, Makoto hurt her knee. The Bullet-Speed girls win. One of the girls, Nozomi, sees Makoto and loves her looks. (Despite knowing that Makoto's a girl?) Yayoi tells the girls about what Hikari said to her. Makoto decides to run in the relay race, despite her hurt knee. The producer of the Bullet-Speed Girls tells the producer to tell the girls to lose on purpose, but he refuses. Iori hears this, and threatens the man because the parent company sponsoring his office has stockholders, and the biggest one is her father's company. He wisely backs off. The whole team participates in the relay race, and Makoto wins it for them. The girls win the Idol Division Award.

## Review

This was a good episode. It introduced Jupiter, and their unnamed, unseen producer. (His name is Kuroi). They'll be important later on. Ai, Eri and Ryou are focused on more in the games. It was still a nice easter egg though. This episode focused on Yayoi, Makoto and Iori. It felt like a triathlon. Lots of energy!

## Plot

The day of the concert has finally arrived. However, the main event, Ryuuguu Komachi, is stuck where they are because of a typhoon. They can't take a bullet train, so they'll be a little late. They take a car instead, but they get a flat tire. After a while, it doesn't look like they'll make it in time for the main event. Oh no. So the other girls have to stall for them, and sing the songs they won't be able to. The crowd is restless, because they only want to see Ryuuguu Komachi. It's total chaos backstage, and the girls get frustrated and start yelling at each other. After looking at the set list, it's discovered that Miki is scheduled to do two intense performances in a row. There's no one else who can do the songs though. Miki wants to do it to push herself. Miki tells the audience about Ryuuguu Komachi being stuck in a typhoon, and tries to get them pumped up. She successfully performs both dance routines/songs, although she's really tired. Chihaya and the producer (and everyone else, really) are amazed. Then they perform the group song and dance they were practicing, REST@RT. *I didn't just deny the way I lived life until yesterday I can see the road I want to take into the future Even if I endure or outstretch my arm further Than a woman who's nothing but weak I really like the "me" who pretended to be strong Open the door to your heart a little right now I feel like going on a journey If I sit around it feels like I'll miss out On this precious chance If we stand on this sparkling stage We can enjoy the greatest feeling The moment we're repaid for all our effort Will last forever If this is a dream, I hope we never wake Like a bird that flies in the open sky I want to spread my wings and soar Let's go as far as it takes To the world we dream of I don't want this to end as just a dream* Ryuuguu Komachi finally gets there right when they finish the group song. After the concert, they find that the girls were so tired that they all fell asleep.

## Review

This was a good episode. I liked the group song.

## Plot

*Cause I got the wind in my hair and a fire within Cause there's something beginning I got a mystery to solve and excitement to spare That beautiful breeze blowing through I'm ready to follow it who knows where And I'll get there, I swear With the wind in my hair!* I love that the theme song for the series is part of a reprise of a song from the special. Rapunzel has a nightmare about her hair, the rocks, and Mother Gothel. Her hair reacts strangely to it. It's been a week since her coronation. She and her dad haven't talked at all since their last conversation. Rapunzel has been having dreams like that for the past week, and thinks that they're trying to tell her something. Cass still doesn't want her to tell anyone, especially Eugene, about that night. Everyone besides Cass and her dad think that her hair just returned when she woke up. Cass doesn't trust Eugene because he can't keep a secret. Eugene wants to prove her wrong. Also, they kind of hate each other. Cass doesn't like him because of his past, and Eugene doesn't like her because he thinks that she's cold and unemotional, among other things. Cass and Rapunzel decide to see a wizard named Varian to get answers about the hair. Not a lot is known about him, and some people say that he's dangerous. Eugene sees them leaving and follows them with Max. The girls find Varian's workshop and meet him. It turns out that he's a fourteen year old alchemist voiced by Jeremy Jordan. They find out that the hair no longer has healing powers, but it is indeed as unbreakable as those black rocks. Varian puts Rapunzel in a machine to run a bunch of tests to get all the answers they could ever want. Eugene enters, and Varian is excited to meet him, confusing him for the character of Flynn Rider from the book. To prove that he can keep a secret, Eugene has Varian show him a secret project that he's working on. It's a giant underground boiler to bring heated water to everyone. However, the reaction that creates the heat is unstable, and it's causing tremors that are getting worse. And there's four more set up around a network of tunnels. When trying to turn it down, Varian accidentally spills some chemical stuff that causes an explosion. Cue the chaos outside. Rapunzel wants to stay and finish the test. Cass is sent after Varian to make sure he doesn't get himself killed, and Eugene refuses to leave Rapunzel. It turns out that Varian has screwed up like this before, and is looked down upon by his whole village for it, especially his dad. He just wants to make them proud of him. The machine with the answers is smashed, and Rapunzel can't get out. Eugene refuses to leave her to die. The boiler and the workshop blows up. However, Rapunzel and Eugene are saved by her hair. It somehow created a magic barrier around them. Everyone is okay, but they're pretty disappointed in Varian. Rapunzel finally tells Eugene how her hair came back, and he agrees to keep it a secret for her sake. However, those black rocks aren't done growing, as evidenced by one poking up just outside the walls of Corona.

## Plot

Stella is determined to rescue Brandon at all costs. In Downland, Brandon is being prepared for his arranged/forced marriage. Glim has a fascination with the glowing crystals. (I think she's an adorable baby too). The group reaches Downland. They have to sneak around town to avoid being found. Stella isn't doing too well with no sunlight. The pixies are discovered and have to catch up to the others. The girls and Sky are discovered by the guards. Amore gets lost and finds Sponsus. Brandon is led to the altar by Amentia's mother, the queen. Amentia is led in by her father, the king. Amore has a plan to stop the wedding. The girls and Sky make it to the wedding, but they were captured. Sponsus and Amore snuck one of her pink flowers into the princess's bouquet. When she smells them, she calls off the wedding and falls in love with Sponsus. With their mission *finally* completed, the whole group heads back to Alfea. *I'm crazy for you, for you The stars and the moon will guide our love I'm crazy for you, for you It's gonna be you and me tonight You and me Oo oo oo It's gonna be you and me tonight I'm crazy for you*

## Review

This was an okay episode.This ended the arranged marriage sub-plot. (Not that it was super important to begin with). The pixie rescue mission arc is also over, and it was great! Other than this episode, which was *after* the pixies had been freed, nothing dragged and I had a lot of fun watching it again. It's like watching episode 8 of RWBY, especially during the fight scene. It just never gets old!

## Plot

…Griffon! She informs everyone that it's not the Codex, but her personal spa. The Trix disappear. The next day, Griffon summons the Winx, Mirta, and Lucy to her office. They divide into pairs of two and try to find the Trix using magical ruby coins. Bloom is with Tecna (Bad choice?) Stella's with Musa (Very bad choice). Flora's with Layla (Apparently a bad choice). And Lucy is with Mirta (A good choice). Bloom thinks the search is too slow, and Tecna's still bitter over her previous failure to locate the Codex, but she does have an idea. Griffon purposefully put them in bad pairs so they could learn a lesson, whether it strengthens their bond or destroys it. Lucy and Mirta run into Darcy, who was disguised as Griffon. Bloom is worried because the ruby coin won't work until Tecna finishes the spell, but its power will be greater. Stella and Musa fight. Stella wants to take a break, and loses the ruby coin, which starts glowing. They're trapped and have to figure out how to escape. Flora and Layla have to meet Bloom in Griffon's classroom, since they've lost touch with Stella, Musa, Lucy, and Mirta. The witches tell them that all the others have been captured. Bloom blames Tecna for using her spell to give them all the time they wanted, but Tecna reminds her that it was her idea. The Trix attack them, but Griffon regains control of the tower and traps them. The Trix damage the tower so Griffon can't control it anymore. They follow a glowing light that they believe is the Codex. The Trix run into the Codex's guardian, Dischordia. The Winx catch up to the Trix. They try using convergence magic, but it backfires horribly and the Trix get another piece of the Codex.

## Review

This was an okay episode. More infighting. Yay. (Sarcasm). I can't even summon any fake/sarcastic enthusiasm anymore. Chalk up another loss, ladies, because you'll have quite a few more before you're done. What I don't understand is why Layla and Flora wouldn't get along with each other.

## Plot

Frost and Raythor fight for the position of leader of the knights, and Raythor wins. They plan on getting revenge on those that betrayed Prince Phobos. Cornelia is still mad at Caleb for breaking up with her. She sees Taranee's older brother Peter and likes him, but he's not into her. Probably because she's too young. And friends with his little sister. Will gives Cornelia's family a pet cat. Lillian names him Napoleon. Suddenly a violet portal shows up in the living room. They're being summoned somewhere. Yan Lin is also there, as well as Elyon, Caleb, the Mage, and Blunk. They're in Kandrakar, and the purple sky is the Veil. All that's there are endless clouds and a beautiful temple. They're introduced to the council, comprised of Althor, Halinor, Luba, Tibor, and the Oracle. The Aurameres are the source of the Guardians' powers, and Luba guards them. Halinor is friends with Yan Lin and is the former Guardian of fire. The Oracle is their leader. He can see into the future. The Knights kidnap Tynar. The council lowers the Veil. Yan Lin and the Mage are invited to join the council. Yan Lin declines, but the Mage accepts the offer and reveals that Miranda has escaped. Even Elyon didn't know about it. She wants to return to Meridian right away and hunt her down, but the Oracle tells her that her power can do just as much harm as good. She trusts the girls and Caleb to go after Miranda. They're now the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions. Since there's no more Veil, there are also no more portals. They have to learn folding, which is basically like making portals, but a little harder to get the hang of. Anyone with a magical talisman or great magical abilities can do it. The girls have the Heart, Elyon has her powers, and the Mage has her mage ring. They learn about the Knights taking Tynar from Drake. They go after Vathek next. Caleb and the girls fight them, but Cornelia and Caleb won't stop fighting. While trying to show Caleb up, Cornelia loses control of her powers. The Oracle gives Blunk a Tonga tooth so he can create folds and help his friends. Caleb and Cornelia need to learn to work together. Blunk helps them find the Knights, but Cornelia is scared of using her powers after what happened last time. After Caleb compliments her, she regains her confidence and control of her powers. The Knights still get away, and the two are still fighting afterwards. When they get back to Earth, Cornelia is somehow still in her guardian form, but with no wings or powers. It makes her look older. Peter sees her and likes her. Taranee claims that she's Cornelia's older sister Lillian.

## Review

This was a good episode. I really liked the parts in Kandrakar. It looks so beautiful! Like something out of a dream! I really don't like Cornelia and Caleb fighting though.
Winx Club S3 E20

## Plot

Valtor has attacked Lightrock, and has once again disappeared without a trace. Faragonda is sending the Winx there to look for clues to his whereabouts. The pixies are a little upset because they feel useless. Everyone says that they can't come on the mission or help out at the school because they're too tiny. Livy, Glim, and Zing spy on the Trix, who are competing for Valtor's affections. Blech! Either because they actually like him, or for his power. They discover Glim, and remember that Pixie Village also has ancient spells. They decide that whoever can find the spells first will also get Valtor. The thing is, the pixies moved their village after Icy attacked them, so they need to get a pixie to tell them. Glim is able to hit Stormy with magic, which provides enough of a distraction for Zing to come flying in on a giant bug and save her. Zing and Glim will distract the Trix while Livy goes to Alfea to get help. The Winx aren't there, but their pixies are. Kiko, the pixies, and the fairy pets head out to find Zing and Glim, who are being chased by the Trix. They're so small that the Trix can't catch them. A spell from Darcy makes them bigger, but it backfires horribly. Because now the pixies are bigger than the Trix. A comical butt kicking ensues. Valtor has been watching everything the whole time, and finally orders the Trix to retreat. The spell wears off and the pixies return to their normal size.

## Review

I've got to say, I'm impressed. Impressed that the writers could make an entire episode out of such a ridiculous and stupid premise. If you like it, fine, but I don't. Four words guys: Filler episode. Worthless. Skip.
The Evermoor Chronicles S1 E2

## Plot

Despite the fact that it's for her safety, Tara is a little jealous that Bella is getting all the love and admiration of the townspeople. Tara wants to sew a prediction, but she can't predict the future like other Everines, she can only make it happen. So if she sews herself and Cameron together, she'll always know that it's not real. She decides to burst Bella's bubble about Cameron by telling her about the Everines' chastity rule. As the "Supreme Everine" though, Bella can make the rules, and gets rid of it. This means that Sorsha can be with Seb. Tara discovers someone in the old owl's cage. She meets Otto, a demigod who was banished to Earth by his father ages ago for something he did. He informs her that Cotton Lively is out of the tapestry. She has a disease that is transferred by touch. She touches Tara and Seb. Being trapped in the tapestry super charged her, and now she's able to control the people she touches. This means that she can use Tara's powers as well. She locks Otto in his cage and heads to the tapestry, where she locks everyone in a building. All of the Everines are there, and Cotton touches Bella as well. Tara, as the Supreme Everine, is able to get in touch with Cotton's feelings. She decides to set her free by making her an Everine, her greatest desire. With that done, she goes back into the tapestry and everyone is cured. As a reward, Bridget sews a prediction for her. Unfortunately, it says that something between Tara and Cameron will mean that he meets his end. Otto is my new favorite character. I don't know why I like him so much, but I do. He can turn into a bird that looks like an owl, called a snoot. Was someone on this show a fan of David Foster Wallace?

## Plot

So, it's right after the last episode. The coronation is still two days away. Phobos's guards search the now abandoned Infinite City. Tynar has returned, and is trying to get as many guards as possible to defect to the rebellion. Jeek plans on stealing the Heart and selling it to Phobos. He follows Will, steals it, and heads back to Meridian. Will mistakes him for Blunk, so everyone thinks that he betrayed them. They head to Meridian to get the Heart back. Matt sees them and follows them, finding out their secret. Elyon starts having doubts when she sees Lurdens in the castle. Plus, there's the fact that Miranda lives in the castle, doesn't seem to do anything, and is the only girl there besides Elyon. She claims that Phobos took her in after her parents died. Blunk heads to Meridian to clear his name. He fights Jeek and gives the Heart to Will. The girls transform and fight off Cedric and the guards meant to retrieve it. Matt promises to not tell anyone about the whole "Guardians of the Veil" thing. This was a good filler episode. So, Matt knows everything now. Seriously though, how is there even filler right before the season finale? It doesn't make any sense!

## Plot

The girls are outside with Professor Palladium, near a swamp. They have three hours to get out of Black Mud Swamp and reach the clearing in the middle of Gloomy Wood Forest without using magic. At Cloudtower, Knut tells the witches that the troll from the second episode will be handed over to the police. They have to do something before he tells someone about them. The witches plan to kill him. Brandon, Sky, Riven, and Timmy are transporting him. But why? They're still students. Their ship is attacked. The girls see it crash and run over to check it out. Musa immediately likes Riven. Love at first sight much? The boys are okay, but the troll escaped. The girls want to help track him down, but Riven says they don't need help. Tecna reasons that someone helped the troll escape. The boys get tangled in living vines. Flora uses her connection with nature to get them down. Wait, aren't all vines technically alive, because they're plants? They decide to work together, but Riven is still bitter over it. His mom left him, so he's wary of all women, but this is only revealed in supplementary material. Stella likes Sky. Riven falls into a whirlpool. Tecna saves him, and then Timmy and the others save both of them. They find the troll, but he's cornered some other girls from Alfea. Sky has a plan. A plan that doesn't involve any of the five girls, I noticed. Their plan obviously fails, and the troll gets away. Bloom and Brandon talk. They're a bunch of rookies, and the only thing the Specialists do well together is argue. Tecna likes Timmy. Oh my gosh, this was just to establish all the crushes, wasn't it? Flora is the only one who doesn't have a crush on any of the guys. The troll meets up with the witches. They banish him to Oblivion, which, contrary to its name, isn't nothingness or death, but just another realm. A prison one, that is. The guys and girls don't find anything, except feathers from Pepe, also known as the world's cutest duck. This was a fairly pointless episode. The witches completed their goal, and no one suspects them. It was just a filler episode so the girls can have crushes on all the guys. That's so stupid!
Tangled: The Series S1 E8

## Plot

A science expo is going on in the kingdom. Naturally, this means that Varian returns with his own invention for it. Also, he clearly has a crush on Cass. They're short on guards for the event, so the Captain of the Guards is willing to let his daughter put on a uniform. But only if she finishes her handmaiden duties first. There's a subplot about Rapunzel inventing things for the expo and Eugene explaining that they've already been invented. Varian makes a deal with Cass. He'll help her with her handmaiden duties, and then she'll be his assistant during his presentation. However, some guards injure themselves because of Varian using wax on the floors. This means that there's no one to guard the judge for the expo, who's haughty and snooty. Plus he doesn't care about real science, only spectacle. Despite her promise to Varian, Cass really wants the glory of being a guard and agrees to guard him, even though it means she won't be able to leave his side and help Varian. After the expo is over, a series of events leads to the judge messing up Varian's machine, which goes haywire. Also, probably a bad time, but Varian revealed that he discovered a new element and named it after Cass. Aw! Basically, the machine combines with another machine, resulting in bad magnetism or whatever. It creates some sort of tornado or black hole that they have to stop. Rapunzel uses her invention, a giant dryer, to counteract the wind. Varian has to get close enough to pull the hand brake, and Cass makes sure that he doesn't float away. The day is saved, and Varian gives Cass a necklace with the new element. He got the idea after discovering a cluster of black rocks at the edge of his village. Cass and Rapunzel realize what he means and they go to Old Corona. Rapunzel's hair and the rocks glow. Varian observes that they're demonstrating a physical response to her. Rapunzel says that they'll figure out the mystery behind them, but she has Varian promise to keep it a secret. So other than Varian and the black rocks returning, nothing super spectacular about this episode.
W.I.T.C.H. S1 E14

## Plot

Phase 1 of the villains' plan is almost complete. Cedric just has to tell Elyon who she really is and get her to come to Meridian. I'm assuming that this takes place the day after the last episode. Elyon is having a lot of problems in her life between Cornelia and her parents. The kids are freaking out about Parents' Night, and Cedric donates family tree charts to the school so they can learn about their history. Elyon is mad at her parents because they won't tell her anything about her family. Her "parents" are really her caretakers from Meridian. They're not human. Caleb finally realizes who Cedric really is. Cedric tells Elyon the truth, and uses the Star of Threbe to reveal her parents' true form. She's kind of in shock about the whole "born on another world, has a brother, and is a princess" thing though. He also tells her that her friends have known about it. But not for that long! Plus Cornelia wanted to tell her. The girls transform. Elyon taps into some of her latent power, which, among other things, *throws Caleb on top of a car.* Ouch. Um, she almost killed someone. She and Cedric use the book to teleport to Meridian. Cornelia blames Will for what happened. They can't do anything until there's a portal. Phobos tricks Elyon with illusions. He has her open a portal to a terrarium, which traps the Guardians inside with a spider. The girls use hot water to break out because metal expands faster than glass. I know glass expands, but I thought metal didn't. Science has never been a writer's friend. Oh, and they're all tiny now. Don't ask me how that works, I have no idea! They have no idea what to do now. They see that Elyon's "parents" have been arrested and taken prisoner.

## Review

This was a good episode. Although I'd like to know why they didn't just backtrack through the portal and then close it. Mandated padding to fill the run time I guess. Oh, and I looked it up, and metal *does* expand. It talked a lot about thermal expansion and stuff. This… was a really depressing episode. Or rather, half an episode. The stuff with the spider was obviously filler. Maybe it's required that they have to have at least one fight scene per episode.
The Evermoor Chronicles S1 E11

## Plot

It's prom time in Evermoor, and Fiona has lifted the Cameron ban so Tara can go with him. Sorsha and Seb are going together, and Bella is going alone. Possessed Esmeralda and the other members of the Circle arrive to see the "vandalism" of the tapestry. Sorsha tries asking her father for a normal prom, but he refuses. He gets especially mad when he hears about a boy from 1985 who tried and failed to modernize prom, and when he hears Sorsha humming a tune that he used to sing her to sleep with. Tara doesn't trust Esmeralda to just lock the tapestry room and have her be the only one with the key. She insists that it should be guarded all night. Unfortunately, that's the Circle page's job. Since Seb is the new page, he can't go to prom with Sorsha. Tara decides to pull out another Circle page from the rip. People who come out of the rip get magic powers and are referred to as leakers. Unfortunately, Tara asked for a page to save their prom night, not guard the tapestry. He comes to prom and hides it so it'll be safe. He introduces himself as Chess, short for Chester. This means that evil Lacie and Esmeralda can't sew their prediction. Everyone realizes that the page is a young Doyle. They assume that if the two touch each other, something Back to the Future 2 related will happen, and that it's the doom depicted on the tapestry. Sorsha wishes that she knew how to stand up to her father. Doyle refuses to let anyone talk about the prom of 1985. Seb and Tara tell young Doyle about how he turns out, which makes him enter a heroic BSOD. He tried to bring music to the prom in 1985, and the stuffy mayor stepped on his boombox, which caused an electrical fire that he blamed Chester for. After that, he was banned from the prom. Otto shows up to help keep the two Doyles apart. They tell Sorsha what's going on when young Doyle leaves the prom after learning that he has a daughter. Sorsha finds him in his future store, but isn't able to get him to go back into the tapestry. He goes back to prom to play his original song, Twist of Fate. The two Doyles touch, and nothing bad happens. Chester goes back into the tapestry after finishing the song. However, Lacie and Esmeralda follow him and find the tapestry. They decide to steal it and blame Tara for it. Cam and Tara almost kiss, but they know they can't, and settle for a headbutt of love instead.
The iDOLM@STER S1 E22

## Plot

On her way to work, Haruka sees Miki's commercial, and says that she has to do her best too. It's Christmas time. The New Year's concert is coming up. Haruka wants to throw a big Christmas party with everyone like last year, but their busy schedules won't allow it. They try to make it work, but they're all busy on Christmas Eve. Ritsuko tells Haruka to rethink her priorities now that she's a proper idol. Haruka is informed that both she and Miki will be in a musical. However, who gets the lead and who gets the sub-lead position will be determined by how well they do at practice. Chihaya was offered a recording deal overseas. However, it conflicts with the New Year's concert schedule. She promises to come to rehearsal as often as she can. Haruka can't wait for Christmas. *The first snow of this year Looks happy as it dances down Tonight, I bet Santa san Will bring you all sorts of dreams Tonight is Christmas Everyone is smiling I want to spend this year with you again That's my one and only, final, My Wish* It's a white Christmas that year as snow starts falling. No one has shown up for the Christmas party yet, and Haruka is a little disappointed. *Warm snow Carries each person's feelings From heart to heart From me to you Soft and light Snowflakes begin to fall Cupping my hand together I caught one When I touched it A breath of cold and white You laughed And held my hand This kind warmth Is like a mitten, isn't it? The snow melts and disappears… Because it's a cold winter Even a little warmth Because it's a long winter Even kindness behind the scenes This happiness we feel Thank you for giving it all to me* On her way to the party, Haruka buys a Christmas cake, and a new wallet for the producer. He said he wanted a new one earlier. She meets Chihaya at the office, and discovers that she also bought a cake. When they open the door, they discover that everyone made it to the party after all. They made it because the producer adjusted their schedules. However, he still hasn't arrived yet. He is coming though, and he's bringing Miki. Yukiho arrives, and everyone wishes her a Merry Christmas and a… happy birthday?! Dang, that girl's luckier than she knows. Then Ryuuguu Komachi and Ritsuko arrive. Miki and the producer arrive last. Let's just say that they all have lots of cake. Chief Takagi interrupts their party briefly with an announcement for Miki: She's won this year's Shining Idol New Artist award. Everyone tells her congratulations. Makoto wonders if they'll be able to do this again next year with their busy schedules. Iori mentions that holidays like today should be spent with fans. Chihaya wonders if that's what it takes to advance. However, she knows there are some things they won't want to change, like spending quality time with each other.

## Review

This was a good holiday episode. This is just the set up for the rest of Haruka's arc. I liked all the Christmas songs in it. I'm glad Haruka got the Christmas party she wanted in the end. However, she *will* break down. It's exactly like Uzuki's arc in Cinderella Girls, where the optimistic one finally breaks down near the end.
Winx Club S1 E15

## Plot

The girls have a quiz in Professor Wizgiz's class. Bloom fell asleep in class, and is taken to Miss Faragonda's office. She's been suffering from a lack of sleep because of her dreams about Daphne. It's revealed that Faragonda knows something about Bloom's past. On her way back to her dorm, Bloom runs into Professor Wizgiz, who has lost something. She tries to return an envelope he dropped, but he's faster than a jackrabbit and disappears. It's the answers to tomorrow's quiz. At their dorm, Flora is trying to return Mirta to normal, but it doesn't work. Bloom tells the girls about the envelope. She's summoned back to Miss Faragonda's office. Faragonda tells her about Daphne, and says she was the protector of the Dragon's Flame. She lives in Lake Roccaluce. Faragonda creates an illusion of the lake. Bloom sees Daphne with a treasure chest. Daphne gives it to her. Inside is a crown/tiara. Faragonda sends Bloom back to her room. That had nothing to do with Bloom at all! At least, so it seems. Bloom doesn't tell the girls about Daphne. Um, WTH? Why not? At Red Fountain, Riven and Brandon are in the middle of a duel. The teacher ends it, reminding them that it's a practice. Back at Alfea, the girls decide to hide the envelope in the kitchen. None of them can resist the temptation though, so they all try to get it. Bloom's the only one with the common sense to turn the light on. They put it in the drawer until tomorrow. The next day, when they enter the classroom, all the girls' faces are covered in what looks like dirt. Professor Wizgiz isn't the least bit surprised. He reveals that the quiz was a test of their morality and whether or not they'd give into temptation. He purposefully placed letters near all of their dorm rooms. They thought it contained the answers to the quiz, and the ones who looked, which appears to be everyone but the Winx and one other girl, were cursed. The Winx all get A's.

Speed Racer: TNG S1 E22

## Plot

Zile is still on the run, but he has luxurious hideouts all over the world. Stan crashes the flying ship. Back at the academy, the gang has the Mach 6, and Conor was able to stabilize its cloaking feature, so Speed and Chim-Chim stopped turning invisible. Spritle announces that this week's race will have major media coverage, with scouts from major companies coming to see if they can recruit any of the students and if they're ready to turn pro. X tries to apologize to Annalise, and finds out that she's leaving school to run her dad's company. She refuses to accept his apology and breaks up with him, while keeping up the lie that her father is innocent and she's not involved. Speed hears about it, and tells X to move on. He asks him how he'd feel if Lucy walked out on him. Oh, ship tease! Speed says that they're just friends, but X doesn't buy it. The shadow woman contacts Annalise and tells her to deliver the Mach 6 engine schematics to the Committee. She decides to get them off her and her father's back by getting the Mach 6. While discussing Speed's strategy for the race, Lucy blushes at him, and they get flustered. Aw! Zile runs from his current hiding place when the shadow woman tracks him down with a cellphone. While getting ready for bed, Speed meets a mysterious man in the hallway. He stays in the shadows and sounds exactly like Spritle. Yeah, it's obviously his dad. He tells him that he and his brother are still in danger, and they shouldn't trust anyone until this is all over. Speed tries to run after him, but he disappears. He tries to tell X about it at the race, but he says he's busy. For this race, the virtual track will constantly change environments and obstacles. The twins are in disguise in the stands, and have a ray blaster hidden in a camera. During the space portion of the race, Speed saves X from a wormhole. They cross the finish line virtually neck and neck, and after watching the instant replay, it's determined that Speed won. Jesse and Jared get pictures of them after, and they run when Chim-Chim's X-ray alarm goes off. Speed remembers the mysterious man's advice to not trust anyone. The twins were taking x-rays of the Mach 6. Speed wants to go after them and get the camera, but Conor tells him that he added a new protective paint to the Mach 6 that makes it virtually impervious to scanning devices. Spritle tells Speed and X that they're getting all sorts of offers already, and that their father would be very proud of them. Speed is flattered, but he wants to finish his education at the school first. Zile reaches another hideout, but he has to leave again when he's discovered thanks to the internet.
