Winx Club S7 E26

## Plot

Picking up where episode 23 left off, Lucilly shows the Winx the way out of the now dark MiniWorld of Alfea. Stormy asks Icy if they should chase them, but she says they won't get far. After all, they have the ultimate power of fairy animals. Meanwhile, some people at Alfea are preparing to fight the Trix. And by some, I mean Faragonda, Griselda, Wizgiz, and Palladium are there, but they don't do anything, and Roxy takes charge commanding *eight* other students. Remember way back in season 5 when I said one day I would just focus on the background fairies? Well, there's far less of them than there used to be, especially compared to the movies and season 3, episode 10, but still. Oh, and Daphne is also there, since she's a part of the faculty too. I keep forgetting, because she's hardly shown up this season. So much for being important again, huh? At least she can relate to Roxy and the guys. She transformed offscreen like the other fairies, and says she called for backup. Finally someone did it! It's just the Winx's boyfriends and her husband though, instead of as many people in the magic dimension as possible, like *all* of the specialists from Red Fountain, the other paladins, the witches from Cloudtower, her parents, some royal guards, an army of fairies from other colleges or the fairy animals that live on the reserve, etc. Also, it's a crime that Mirta isn't here. I guess she could've graduated already, since she became a first year fairy during season 2, but Amaryl is *still* here. That poor girl will never earn her Enchantix, will she? Okay, there's Francine, the fairy of rivers, who first appeared all the way back in season 1. Amaryl, who has made appearances in every season except season 6, is the fairy of starlight. Ahisa is the fairy of love. Sounds like she should've bonded with Amore instead of Stella. There's also Alice, not to be confused with the one from season 4, even though that would've been a nice continuity nod, and we could've finally seen what her and Clarice's fairy forms looked like. An alternative name for her is Jenny. She has ice powers. No idea what she's the fairy of, but she was the girl that Jared was dating at the end of season 2. There's also Countess Oleana of Tenesa. I also have no idea what she's the fairy of. Kimmy is a fairy that started appearing in season 2, same as Miky. Karina is a fairy from Lynphea. Yep, eight fairies to help protect and defend Alfea, instead of dozens or even hundreds of students. Where's Francis? Or Ortensia? Or Galatea? Or Nova, that one fairy from Solaria who fed Stella gossip in season 3? Or even someone like Krystal? Anyways, none of their attacks do any major damage to the Trix or their fairy animals, probably because the heart of Alfea has gone dark. And that's when their attacks actually hit, which they hardly ever do. Remember when the faculty was pretty badass when the school was attacked by the Trix in season 1, Valtor and the witches during season 3, and by Mandragora in the first movie? Yeah, I miss that. Wizgiz transforms once, and that's it. Remember when Faragonda fought Valtor by herself? Rainbow, there comes a time when even cash cow franchises need to die, or at least take a very long nap. Anyways, while the faculty, the students, the specialists, and the paladins get their butts kicked by the Trix and their animals, the Winx go back in time to old Alfea to find the Golden Butterfly, with help from Headmistress Mavilla and young Faragonda, who has greatly improved as a student. Good thing they showed up right before Mavilla cast that spell to erase everyone's memories. Also, they *can* bring other sentient beings back in time with them, because their fairy animals are with them this time! It *might* be because of the bond they have, but the Winx have also bonded with pixies and selkies in the past, so where are they? The fighting in the present sends Brafilius's stone of memories flying into Icy's hand, and he tells her what it is, what it does, and that the Winx have the other stones. Speaking of which, the girls learn that Faragonda and Griselda were roommates in the past, which completely contradicts season 6, but whatever. They head to a field of golden flowers and transform into Tynix to enter the Flower MiniWorld to find the Golden Butterfly. I can't believe I just said that. They find its cocoon. It's still sleeping. They need to be patient and wait for it to wake up. And then the Trix show up. They can enter MiniWorlds thanks to Brafilius, including ones in the past thanks to his stone of memories. This just once again supports my earlier theory that the Winx could've brought Roxy and their boyfriends on missions again, but just didn't for whatever reason. Real empowerment and "girl power" doesn't mean that boys can't or shouldn't help; that's just plain misandry. Oh, and Bloom finally realizes that the dog is Brafilius. Episode 24 ends as she and the cocoon fall towards a sharp ice structure that Icy made. Elas destroys it with magic from his horn though and catches Bloom. His horn starts glowing with a golden light. Bloom defeats Icy, and Stella defeats Stormy and Darcy with one well placed attack. Bloom, Stella, Flora, and Aisha surround Stormy and Darcy. Brafilius tries to leave while they're all distracted. The cocoon hatches and turns into the Golden Butterfly. It's smaller than I thought it'd be. Um, girls? If you're watching it, then who's watching Stormy and Darcy? The butterfly thanks the Winx for saving her and brings the MiniWorld back to its former glory. So, I guess the Trix went back in time to stop the Winx *and* try to claim the power of the Golden Butterfly for themselves? The girls try to catch Brafilius, but Icy grabs him and the Trix disappear. Bloom's DuArt VA actually manages to make Bloom sound angry and frustrated for once. She asks the butterfly to restore the heart of Alfea. The girls and their fairy animals are returned to the present, and the heart glows again. The Trix attack Alfea again. We're back to virtually no time passing in the real world while other people are in a MiniWorld. The heroes do slightly better this time around, but Icy is able overpower Daphne thanks to combining her power with her pet Frostbite. Faragonda tells Wizgiz and Palladium to stand guard at the entrance. They can't let the Trix enter the college. It turns out that there are more students, but I guess they're all inside for some reason. Faragonda tells Griselda to warn them to prepare for the worst. That actually is good contingency planning, but still, Faragonda, I know you can kick ass, and so can the other fairies. There's a reason the Trix ran away from you in the past. Wizgiz asks the Winx where they were while the Trix attacked them. Bloom tells everyone that they can resist this attack, because the school is stronger now. Sure enough, a new barrier appears, and it's made of golden butterflies. The Trix retreat. The fairy animals enter the school and play with everyone. They're no longer scared. The energy of the Golden Butterfly brought them here. Roxy's dream came true. Fairies and fairy animals can finally live together in peace and harmony. Faragonda reunites with her old Digmole for real this time. They throw a party to celebrate, but it's revealed to be a bit premature when Kalshara shows up. However, she's not here to fight. She wants to stop the Trix too. Her brother may be an idiot, but he's still her only family. She'll let the Winx have the ultimate power. The Trix and Brafilius are in the underground world. There's a huge source of wild magic there, and they want to absorb it. Elas points out that Kalshara has tricked them before, and more than once. She says she'll be risking herself as well, and only she can lead them to the Trix, since she can sense her brother's magical energy. Brafilius tells the Trix that their animals are right to be wary of the wild magic source. He absorbed some of it once, and he regretted it. Technically, Kalshara forced you, but whatever. Wild magic is difficult to control. Icy orders them to come closer, and they sit on their mounts while Brafilius hides behind a rock. Icy says that the wild magic will turn them into shapeshifting witches, and they all enter the source. Bloom tells Roxy and Daphne to stay at the school. The Winx transform, enter the underground world, and follow Kalshara. This is the deepest place in the entire magic universe. Brafilius runs into them. He's happy to see his sister again. He's really scared and wants to leave ASAP. Entering the wild magic source with their animals made the Trix merge with them. That's actually kind of disturbing and terrifying. Those new designs are awesome though. Icy grabs Brafilius again. It's revealed that the Trix can shapeshift now when Darcy fights Kalshara. Okay, that's pretty cool. Darcy is bigger and has better powers though, probably due to her being a witch and merging with her animal. It's too bad that Kalshara almost never uses her magic unless she's in her humanoid form. Elas reminds the other fairy animals that they're the keepers of the ultimate power. They have no choice but to perform the ultimate spell. Everyone is stunned when they see a giant swan appear. It's called the Infinity Swan. The Trix's attacks have no effect on it. The swan traps them and Brafilius in a forcefield. The Winx use their stones of memories, including the stolen one, which they get back, to trap the Trix in limbo, outside of time. So, is limbo the same as Oblivion? Is it an actual dimension? Is it a prison dimension or planet like Omega? Is it like the void or whatever that Darkar threw the Trix into when he betrayed them? Brafilius is finally able to escape from Darcy and reunites with Kalshara, but then the ultimate power diamond flies out of him and goes into the Infinity Swan's jewel. Kalshara is upset at losing it again, and goes back to hating Brafilius and not caring about him at all. The monsters of the underground world don't appreciate being called useless, and when they confront her, she falls into a crevice, presumably dying. The monsters like Brafilius. The Winx decide that staying in his new form for awhile will make him appreciate animals more. The Infinity Swan will guard the ultimate power for as long as nature wishes. He says that now *our* mission and yours (the Winx's) has ended. It's revealed that the swan is the result of all their fairy animals merging together and, in my mind at least, dying. They're all a little sad and say their goodbyes, mentioning how wonderful and incredible they are, blah, blah, blah. Elas says they'll always be together in their hearts. Sometime later, they have yet another party at the Alfea Natural Park. The Winx play a song as the episode and the season *finally ends*.
