Winx Club S5 E22

## Plot

At Alfea, the girls are playing volleyball for some reason. The guys are there, as well the teachers, Roxy and Mirta, etc. Palladium tells them that when facing a difficult opponent, a direct attack may fail, but a feint can win. Flora falls for Krystal's feint, which lets her team win. Seeing Krystal hug Helia afterwards doesn't help matters. She leaves before he can say anything to her. However, Krystal seems to *finally* realize that she's getting in the way. Sky tries to sneak out of the palace, but Helia tells him that he missed the game, and Diaspro catches him. Bloom misses him, and admits that they can both be stubborn. But mostly her. Flora tells her that she thinks Helia wants to be with Krystal. Her breakdown is actually legitimately good, and reminds me of myself and other girls with low self esteem, who sell themselves short and don't always recognize how amazing and special they are. Tecna advises her to talk to Helia, having learned something in the previous episode. I don't know what that something is, because Tecna was supposed to have long moved past the emotionless girl thing, but whatever. Honestly, all these characters are becoming stupid, annoying, flanderized versions of themselves. Bloom decides to try talking to Sky. Tecna receives a message from King Cryos of Zenith. He has officially decided that their planet will be defending itself instead of joining the alliance. Tecna gets angry, and decides that they'll all go to Zenith and convince King Cryos to change his mind. It's snowy there, and very technologically advanced, obviously. Tritannus and the Trix arrive at the Pillar of Control, but see that its seal is gone. In anger, Tritannus stabs the pillar with his trident. This causes purple lightning to strike on Zenith. It hits the techno droids, turning them evil. The Winx transform to combat them. Tecna saves King Cryos from them. Flora remembers what Palladium said. She tells Bloom to attack her. It will confuse the droids, and they won't know who they're supposed to be fighting. It works, and the other girls attack the droids. The selkies use their powers to drive Tritannus and the Trix away, and fix the Pillar of Control. Everything on Zenith goes back to normal. King Cryos agrees to join the alliance. Tecna's Sirenix box appears. She's earned her wish. She wishes that the people of Zenith would feel connected to all the worlds of the Magix dimension, and understand that they're all one. Well, if King Cryos hadn't been in favor of joining the alliance after you saved him, he certainly would be now! So the message is this: Manipulation is totally okay. It doesn't matter how others feel, as long as the protagonists get what they want. I think I'm gonna call the Sirenix boxes Sirenix stars from now on, because that just makes more sense to me, and it's alliteration. Sky visits Bloom. They know they won't always agree on everything, but they know that they belong together. Before that though, Bloom got a letter from him, asking her to a diplomatic meeting. She said that if Sky wanted to talk to her, then why didn't he come himself? Oh my god! Because, as we just saw this episode, he can't, even if he really wants to! Sometimes you can't always have what you want, Bloom, and you have to take what you can fricking get! Honestly, if you two are so desperate to get in touch, just call or text each other! Tritannus demands that Daphne tell him how he can activate the throne. She just repeats what she always says, don't activate the throne, the Sirenix curse will destroy you, just like it destroyed Politea, etc. The Politea thing is new though, because we need some way for the plot to move forward from here. She was a Sirenix fairy who was cursed and lost herself in her quest for power, and became a monster. Darcy and Stormy finally get fed up with Icy and leave. They decide to find Politea first and take her power.
