Winx Club S7 E22

## Plot

Okay, so after entering the Sundial MiniWorld and fixing the weather in Ethiopia, the Winx find a lone Digmole. They learn that it's looking for its bonded fairy, Faragonda. We start this episode with a flashback of how a young Faragonda met her Digmole. It got itself stuck in a patch of thorns, and she freed him. Her Digmole is a boy, right? Even with voices for all of the Winx's fairy animals now, I'm still not sure about some of their genders. In the present, the girls are watching as Faragonda and her Digmole meet again after so many years. Yeah, spoilers for the end of the episode, but it's really Kalshara in disguise. You can tell by the markings she always has in all of her animal forms. I thought those were just signs of age for a split second. Bloom tells Faragonda that they learned that the ultimate power is closely linked to the fairy power, but they're sure it's not one of their animals. Their headmistress tells them that Alfea has the biggest concentration of fairy magic in the entire universe, which means the ultimate power could be here. Bloom asks her where she got the crystal statue of the Digmole. She got it as a student after Kalshara and the fairy animals left. She was walking through what remained of the Hall of Fairy Animals when she found it, and felt connected to it. It has strong magic power. It's made of all colors, just like light. It's like a prism. White is the combination of all colors. This is the first color of the universe. I mean, Stella and Shiny's powers are light, so why don't they count too? I was thinking, if Aisha could control water like she does in the spin-off and the live action show, then she would've been the most powerful in season 5, like how I personally think that Flora should've been the most powerful this season, what with the emphasis on nature itself giving the girls their Butterflix powers. It would be kind of nice to not have Bloom always be the smartest, the most powerful, the most strategic, etc. The Winx transform into Tynix and enter the Adamantine MiniWorld. It's called that because it's derived from Adamas, the Latin and Greek word for diamond. I would've just cut out that admittedly clever language bit that no child would understand and just called it the Diamond MiniWorld, but whatever. So, does that mean that Bloom is semi-familiar with Latin and Greek? I guess that might've come in handy during their trip around the world in season 6, or maybe she studied it in middle school before the show started. Also, I just found out that the reason DuArt Film and Video dubbed this season instead of the studio that dubbed the Nick version, Atlas Oceanic Sound and Picture in Burbank California, was due to budget cuts, and it was also the first season to fully use flash animation, excluding CGI for some locations, like Alfea. Also, I'm glad that the girls don't say their names when they transform into Tynix, but again, it's not much of a transformation. They see creatures resembling Digmoles bring presents to a castle. However, the sentient fork and knife guards refuse to let them enter without an invitation to the Diamond King and Queen's wedding celebration. Stella conjures a wedding present, and they're let in. Another Digmole named Cookie serves the king and queen a royal banquet. It's food made with diamonds. However, they refuse to eat the dessert, because the cake has no diamonds. Cookie tries to explain that he used them all for the other courses, but they exile him from the castle until he returns with enough diamonds for a hundred cakes. Stella gives them a ring with a huge diamond on it, but they don't think it's big enough or shiny enough. Bloom tells them that they're looking for the ultimate power to prevent all worlds, including theirs, from being destroyed. Even in the early days, we never really knew the motivations behind the villains. They want some ultra powerful MacGuffin to… take over or destroy the magic universe, I guess? The thing with kids' shows is that villain motivations are basically nonexistent, besides conquest, destruction, and sometimes revenge. According to a legend, the ultimate power is the brightest diamond of them all. The only place it could grow is the royal orchard. Cookie offers to help them. Thanks to the gardener digsies, the greenhouse has always produced diamonds for their sovereigns. Cookie says something about diamonds growing here a long time ago, but nothing has in a long time. I'm not gonna lie, it's hard to tell what everyone is saying because they all speak in French accents. Flora asks about a crystal tree. It looks strong, but nothing is growing on it. All Cookie knows is that the tree used to grow big diamonds. Flora says it just doesn't have enough magic power to grow. Cookie is surprised that she can speak to plants, but she tells him that's nothing, and uses her magic to make all the trees grow jewels. So I *do* get to say that Flora did everything again, like that one time in season 6? Yes! She reveals the ultimate power, but something is wrong. She's losing control of its strength. The diamond is amplifying her spell. The other girls protect the digsies while Flora has the vines reinforce the greenhouse's ceiling, but then her magic stops working, since the plants are only half natural, and then she's buried under rubble. The other girls can't get her out. Cookie tells them that the rocks are as hard as diamond, and very resistant to magic, so the girls try pushing and pulling them with their hands, but they can't do it. The crystal statue starts shaking, and the ultimate power leaves the MiniWorld. Kalshara takes it, reveals herself, and teleports to Brafilius. She tells him that he never understands anything and is totally useless. Brafilius finally has enough of her verbal abuse and takes the ultimate power for himself. He asks for the most powerful animals in the magic universe and beyond. Kalshara attacks him, and the diamond shatters, but the power goes into Brafilius. And then two giant lizards and a giant bird appear, because I guess they were the most powerful animals ever? And then it turns out that they're the Trix's pets, and Brafilius has freed them from the Legendarium. But… then how did they meet the animals? Oh right, they have new voices too. Whatever.
