World of Winx S1 E6

## Plot

The Winx break into a building using skills and magic, while going full on super spy. They change into the clothes they wore during the fashion show. They infiltrate a party to look for the Sophie imposter. Stella ignores that objective because she's star struck by all the celebs at the place. Tecna uses a bumblebee drone to find her. Bloom confronts her, but she gets away when she's distracted by a call from Ace. The Sophie imposter wants to kidnap the next talent and transforms into a shadow. Which explains why she didn't have one in the previous episode. Bloom jumps off the balcony to escape her, and lands in a giant party cake. By the next day, she's become the laughingstock of Paris. Ace is mad because she embarrassed the show, and lied to him about where she was. In the van, the girls summarize what they know so far. They go back to the fashion school to find another talent. In the previous episode, they also saw Nadine. She works with Sophie, and Bloom noticed that she had a natural talent for modeling. They officially introduce themselves. The imposter Sophie invites Nadine to be her model for a photo shoot at the Eiffel Tower. Security won't let the girls come with, since it's invitation only. They decide to follow them, but Bloom draws the line at having the drones come along. Once there, the girls transform. It turns out that the security guard was a shadow monster too. Fighting shadows is hard, because they can break up, take on new forms, and even merge together. They're able to destroy the creature with bright lights. Stella has redeemed herself for failing to protect Sophie, and even redeemed her main universe counterpart for freezing up that one time in season 5. They may not have been able to save Sophie, but they saved Nadine. The photo shoot goes on as planned, and Nadine is also loved by WOW. However, Ace calls the girls back to the studio. He has a surprise competition for them, as a way of apologizing for ditching the cameras earlier. They have to do the talents that aren't suited for them. Flora dances, Musa cooks, Aisha acts, Tecna paints, and Stella tries stand up comedy. Bloom sings for everyone. Ace isn't expecting much, but this is Bloom we're talking about. She's a Mary Sue who has to be perfect at everything. She always has to be in the right and save the day. Yep, still not loving this new Bloom. Even Stella is better done in this show than in the main series, in a cringe comedy sort of way. *Some wanted us to run and hide But we stood proud, we reached up high Our wings were ours Yes, they were ours for always Our wings were ours for always!* Everyone loves her. Even Margot is clapping. Bloom sees a shadow creature posing as a stagehand and keeps it at bay with magic. When she tries to go after it though, she bumps into Ace, who falls down. Everyone laughs at him when they realize his hair is really just a wig. Ace is absolutely *furious,* and fires Bloom on the spot. Oh, what I would give to be able to do that…

## Plot

The pixies and Kiko are playing with Squonk at Alfea. Aisha can't watch him all the time, due to being in class or going on missions. Speaking of which, the Winx learn from Roxy that the Magiwolves of Lynphea are in danger. They decide to go to Lynphea to save the Magiwolves, and Flora says her parents can help them. The Winx finally meet her parents, Alyssa and Rhodos. They're treating two sick Magiwolves, who have been infected by toxic mutant fungi spores. Once they're healed, they decide to guide the girls through the forest. Before they leave, Rhodos gives Flora magic orchid seeds that can neutralize the fungus, but she should save them for the right time, since there are only a few. It turns out that Miele is nearby and heard everything. She wants to come with them, but Flora reminds her of the time she tried to face the treants alone in season 6. Uh, she wouldn't be alone this time, and she wasn't that time either! Also, the rest of the girls seem to have forgotten about Miele becoming a real fairy and going to Lynphea College. Flora refuses to let her come with them, saying that they don't know what they're up against, and it could be too dangerous for her. What, so only you guys are allowed to routinely risk your life? That's bullshit! Also, since this takes place in the present, then why aren't Roxy and their boyfriends here to at least provide support and backup? After awhile, the Magiwolves refuse to go on, due to coming across the area of the forest filled with the mutant fungi spores. Bloom just says they'll have to continue to their own then. Flora sees a creature with red eyes, which startles her. She tells the others that someone or something is watching them, but Bloom says they can't go back, and just tells the others to stay alert and move on. Flora recalls Wizgiz's lesson earlier in the episode about Wild Magic, which has the potential to turn any living thing aggressive. Suddenly, the girls are attacked by the mutant fungi. They transform, but none of their spells work on the fungi. One traps Musa, and sprays her with noxious gas, causing her to change back to normal. Flora theorizes that since their Butterflix powers came from nature, they can't use them to harm nature. Pretty soon, she's the only one left. She still has the seeds, and heads towards where the fungi originated. However, the seeds are knocked out of her hand, and she's captured when she tries to get them back. The spores drain her energy. And that's where the episode ends. Man, even when their characters are in life threatening danger with seemingly no way out, the actresses sound pretty monotone and bored.

## Plot

On Meridian, Phobos plans to find his sister so he can steal her powers. He has a mission for Cedric that requires him to go to Earth in his human form. At Sheffield, everyone meets the new history teacher, Professor Collins. He announces that the school will hold community service day a month early. Everyone is horrified by this. All the jobs stink, and the last kids to sign up get the most horrific and gag inducing ones, so everyone gets to school super early on that day. Will's mom has starting dating again. She's seeing Professor Collins. Cornelia's little sister Lillian messes with her alarm clock for yelling at her, which makes her late for school. Now she has to watch Lillian's kindergarten class. Irma and Taranee have to seal envelopes at city hall, which they assume will be easy. Will and Hay Lin have to paint over graffiti, which also isn't terrible. What I can't believe is that none of these middle school kids are being supervised by adults. Irma and Taranee's job is tougher than they thought. Hay Lin and Will find some strange writing on the wall. When Will sees it, she faints. Hay Lin takes her back to the Silver Dragon and tells Caleb and Yan Lin what happened. The other girls heard and came to see her. Caleb has seen the writing on the castle walls, but he can't read it. He knows who can translate it, but they have to go to the Infinite City. It was mentioned briefly in episode 1. When they check the old train station out, the writing is gone. Luckily, Hay Lin copied it on her arm. They go to Meridian and head to the Infinite City. It's green and infinite. There, they meet the Mage. She translates the writing into English on Hay Lin's other arm. It's a message to Cedric from Phobos. The Mage tells them that there's a beast in their town in human form. They have to touch it with the Heart to make it show its true form. Will thinks that it's Professor Collins. The girls jump to conclusions and decide to follow him. They zap him with the Heart and nothing happens. Yep, they were wrong about their history teacher. Now they have to get him back to his house. After some various antics, Professor Collins returns the next day, but luckily he doesn't remember anything. The girls wonder who's really the beast. It's Cedric, and he's running a bookstore.

## Review

This was a really funny episode. And I don't mean funny as in it told good jokes, I mean funny as in weird. When I was little, I thought Will was Phobos' sister because of her reaction to the writing, and stuff that happens later. Spoiler alert, it's not her. Too bad, that would've been a nice twist. But then why does she have that reaction to the writing? Is she destined to be the next Oracle? The next Mage? Given what we learn about the Mage later, that could be a possible answer.

## Plot

Continuing where we left off, Bloom, Nereus, and Flora are still going after Tritannus, Icy, and a captured Aisha. So, more missed story opportunities! If you're going to turn a badass action girl into a damsel in distress, then at least have Roy rescue her, dammit! Meanwhile, Stella, Musa, Tecna, and Tressa are trying to hold off all the mutants at the Pillar of Light. Flora leaves to help them. Tritannus and Icy are already at the throne, and Aisha is imprisoned with Daphne. The throne is activated. The mutants go through a portal, and the others follow them. Tritannus has become crazy, or rather, crazier, with so much power, and doesn't even care about Icy anymore. He attacks her, but she's saved by Darcy and Stormy. They're still mad at her, but they're still sisters, and they're still the Trix. They attack Tritannus, but he absorbs their attack. He blasts them out of the Infinite Ocean. He starts his quest for universal domination by invading Andros. The mutants arrive there, with Stella, Musa, Flora, Tecna, and Tressa close behind them. They're going to attack the palace, where Aisha's parents are. Tritannus causes the sea level to rise, and the palace starts flooding. Teredor and Niobe head to higher ground. The mermaids and Roy are defending the palace. The rest of the Winx and Tressa arrive to help them. The Winx save Teredor and Niobe. Nereus disarms Tritannus, and Bloom uses her Fire of Sirenix to destroy the trident. Aisha and Daphne are freed, and the mutants turn back to normal. Nereus reunites with Neptune and Ligea. They all confront Tritannus, who also turns back to normal. All the mutants on Andros also return to normal, as does the sea level. You'd think a sudden drop like that would kill everyone in the water. They realize that Tritannus is beaten and celebrate. The others return to Andros, and Tressa reunites with her parents. It turns out that Neptune and Teredor are brothers, at least in this dub. Still not sure how that works, but whatever. Tritannus doesn't even try to feign regret for his actions. Neptune and Teredor banish him from the Magix dimension. He's sent to oblivion, permanently. Bloom's Sirenix star appears. She wishes to break the Sirenix curse, effectively bringing Daphne back to life. Everyone celebrates that night on Andros. The people who live on land and in the sea are more connected now, as are all the realms of the Magix dimension. Daphne now has a normal teenage girl design like everyone else. Okay, I get not aging when you're a ghost, but come on! She was way taller than that! At least she ditched the stupid mask. The Winx perform a song, and the season ends.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E6

## Plot

Scott's serious nature and Kurt's fun loving one clash one time too many, and Kurt angrily teleports away, landing in an abandoned basement. Rogue hears him and goes to investigate. Kurt goes into the "Stay out!" section and finds a lab. He trips a motion sensor, and the lab blows up. He and Rogue find a device still intact, and while fighting over it, it accidentally blasts Kurt. It sends him somewhere that creepily reminds me (and him) of the Twilight Zone. Rogue tries to throw the device away, but Toad finds it. Jean can't telepathically contact Kurt. Kurt can't teleport out, and he can only be briefly seen by other people, like a ghost. Scott and Jean see Toad using the device. Kurt meets Forge, who is a mutant with a mechanical arm. He's been stuck in the rip off zone since the 1970s. In 1978, he accidentally created this pocket dimension, which he calls Middleverse. He's been stuck there ever since, and hasn't aged. He invents a device that will let Kurt teleport back to the real world, but only for a second. He has to tell them how to reset the device to get them back. He worries that they might think he's joking. Rogue tells the X-Men that she did something to Kurt, and tells them what happened. Kurt is able to get the message across to Scott, who resets it, but Kurt doesn't have enough power left. The Brotherhood shows up. Rogue says that it's not her fight and leaves. The X-Men defend the portal. Kurt and Forge drive Mystique's new car through it, trashing both the car and the device. Forge heads home and both Scott and Kurt agree to loosen up and tone down the goofiness respectively. This was a *weird* episode. It was still good though. Forge is voiced by Samuel Vincent! Fangirling will ensue in 3, 2, 1…
W.I.T.C.H. S1 E10

## Plot

Will invites the girls plus Elyon to a sleepover, but it's really to tell them that she signed them up to be her committee for the school carnival. She gets an idea to have a medieval theme. (Meridian is very inspired by medieval times). On Meridian, Phobos likes the awful art his painter makes because he hates beautiful paintings that are happy and rebellious. His last artist was imprisoned inside his own painting for all eternity. The girls are looking at the same painting in a museum when they're pulled into it. Phobos notices that they're in the painting and orders Frost the Hunter to go after them. Cornelia is saved by the artist of the painting, Elias Van Dahl. They have no powers, but whatever they paint comes to life. Frost chases after them. Cedric and the guards also enter the painting. Irma discovers that the others are trapped and tells Caleb. They can get in through the other side of the painting in Meridian. Which is in Phobos' castle. The girls try to escape on a boat, but they run out of river so they have to paint more. All they have left is black paint. They make giant bowling balls, but then they run out of paint. They're cornered by the monsters, but Will threatens to erase the Heart for good with paint thinner. Irma and Caleb enter the painting and save them, but Phobos is enraged and slashes the painting, creating a crevice that everyone falls into. This sends them back to the museum and they free all the other people in the painting. The carnival is a disaster, but they're able to save it by having all the people from the painting attend.

## Review

This was an okay filler episode. Although I loved the animation used when they were inside the painting. And there was this BLAM at the end where Elyon was inside the painting. No. Just no. There's foreshadowing, and then there's that. Which just leaves the viewer confused and is totally unnecessary.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E2

## Plot

A girl named Kitty Pryde has a nightmare and uses her mutant ability for the first time. She can go through solid objects because of her intangibility. Xavier can find any mutant in the world with an advanced machine called Cerebro. He and Jean go to Kitty's area to check it out. It's up to Jean to talk to Kitty while Xavier has to try and talk to Lance, another mutant. Kitty snuck out and went to school. Logan suits up and rides off without telling the others. Kitty is locked in her locker by some mean girls. She accidentally uses her ability again in front of Lance, who can cause earthquakes. Lance gets an idea to use Kitty to steal test answers and sell them. He embarrasses the mean girls to be nice to Kitty. Jean and Kitty talk, but she's freaked out by everything. Lance offers to teach Kitty how to control her powers. Kurt and Scott go after Logan and meet his arch rival, Sabretooth. Kitty uses her powers and gets Lance into the office. She doesn't want to cheat though. Her parents and Jean show up. Lance causes an earthquake that brings the building down. Kitty uses her intangibility to save herself and her parents after the building comes down. Her parents apologize for their behavior. Mystique recruits Lance and names him Avalanche.

## Review

This is an okay episode. Kitty's valley girl talk is so annoying! It just grates on my brain all the time! The subplot with the guys was stupid and short, which is why I only mentioned it in two sentences.
World of Winx S1 E12

## Plot

Bloom breaks the fourth wall again, and now I'm banging my head against the wall, wishing I could watch something smarter for kids, like *Sesame Street* or *The Electric Company*. It turns out that Jim used to lead the pirates, but the mystery man says that he betrayed them. They work for the Queen now. Jim says that if they work together, they can defeat her and free the World of Dreams. Why do the inhabitants call it that and not its real name until the season 1 finale and season 2? The old man wants them to stop and leave. The mystery man tries and fails to get in. Evans and Gómez see everyone fighting, and decide to spy on them. Ace tells the other girls that WOW is on hiatus until the finale, and that they have to get all the finalists. Bloom calls them for help. Silke easily fixes Stella's communicator. Bloom transforms. Evans and Gómez see her and learn that she's a fairy. The pirates capture her for the Queen. Silke reveals that the Watchmaker is her uncle. She's his apprentice. Her real talent is watchmaking and repairs, but no one liked her. She wanted to become a snowboarding champion to change all that. Aisha tells her that she can't be something she's not, but she can make the most out of her natural talent. The mystery man and the pirates take Bloom and Jim to the World of Dreams. Silke triggers another trap and almost falls to her death, but Flora uses magic to save her. Evans and Gómez come out of hiding and reveal that the girls are fairies, like Bloom. They tell them that Bloom and Jim were captured by pirates and disappeared through a magic portal. Musa finds the broken watch in the snow. It fell out of Bloom's pocket. Silke says that her uncle could fix it. She has a key to the tower. However, her uncle says that it seems impossible to fix. Silke fixes it herself, realizing that it was built backwards, so the only way to fix it is backwards. Um, okay. The watch has one hand instead of two, which turns counter-clockwise. The Winx use it to open a portal to the World of Dreams.
The iDOLM@STER S1 E17

## Plot

Makoto overhears some fans talking about her. Her disguise isn't very good, and lots of fan girls recognize her. She doesn't want to be viewed as a prince. She wants to be a princess. Chihaya gets a phone call from someone and answers it outside. Makoto is very hot headed, and gets angry at Jupiter and President Kuroi when they're at a job together and they provoke her. Her dad was very strict about how Makoto was raised. She and the producer spend the day together, and Makoto asks to be treated like a real girl by him. Her dad always treated her like a boy no matter what. She could never wear skirts or have cute things. She and the producer see some girls being harassed by some thugs. Makoto steps in to help. They're about to fight, but the girls are fans of hers, and they're not scared anymore. One of the guys tries to punch her, but the producer steps in and gets hit in the face instead. Yeesh. That looked like it *hurt*. Makoto learns from the producer that it's an idol's job to make others' dreams come true. They ride the merry go round, and Makoto thanks the producer for treating her like a princess.

## Review

This was a good episode. It's Makoto's focus episode. I'm glad she stepped in to help those girls.
Winx Club S7 E7

## Plot

Picking up where the previous episode left off, everyone but Flora has been knocked out, and she sees that the orchid seeds are just out of her reach. This is the part where you don't give up and start digging. It turns out that Miele followed them, and uses the seeds to save everyone. She says that Flora should've had more faith in her. The creature with red eyes is still watching them. Now that the fungi is gone, the animals start to return. Flora acts out of character again when she harshly scolds Miele for not listening to her. Except if it wasn't for her, you'd probably be dead! She says that Miele was brave and she's proud of her, but she was also hasty and reckless. No, she really wasn't. Flora agrees to let her come with them this time, but only if she promises to be careful. They try to find the two Magiwolves that led them into the forest, but can't find them anywhere. They see the fungi replicating itself, and it attacks them again. Aisha suggests transforming, but Flora tells her that their Butterflix powers don't work against nature. Nature itself is trying to fight back with magic pollen that neutralizes the fungi, but it doesn't have enough energy. The girls find the origin of the mutation in the center of the forest: A large tree with its roots soaking up water from a Wild Magic source. It spread the spores around the forest. All the animals are gone. They either fled, or they've been captured by the fungi. Flora once again says that she feels like they're being watched, and the creature with red eyes finally shows itself. It's a Magiwolf, and the girls theorize that it's either been corrupted by Wild Magic, or it's protecting someone or something. The other Magiwolves have been captured, and the fungi attack and try to capture the girls again, as well as the aggressive Magiwolf. The Winx transform, and use their powers on the fungi indirectly, like throwing rocks and sticks at it, tricking it into tying itself up, etc. Before Miele is captured, the Magiwolf saves her, and Flora saves it from falling, and its eyes return to its normal yellow color. The girls follow the wolf, and learn that it wasn't under the effect of Wild Magic. It was protecting the rest of its pack, who have all been captured by the fungi. Despite their best efforts, they can't free the wolves on their own, and the last one is captured. Flora uses her special Butterflix power to ask nature for help. I'm actually okay with this because Flora has done stuff like this before, in both the main show and the spinoff. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty stupid there too, but at least there's a precedent for this one. This saves all the wolves and gets rid of the fungi. Flora and the large wolf bond. Its name is Amarok. On the one hand, I love this, because Flora bonds with a giant wolf, on the other hand, I hate it, because I will forever like the pixies better for having actual personalities and more history with the Winx. Still, I like Amarok's design. Miele says that the first time she saw Amarok, he looked so mean, but Flora tells her that appearances can be deceiving. Amarok goes back to Alfea with her.
Tangled: The Series S1 E18

## Plot

This is a breather episode in between the arc episodes. I'm looking at it because the end scene is important to the overall narrative though. The episode starts with Frederic declaring war and putting Rapunzel, Cass, and Eugene in the dungeons. We go back 24 hours to see how we got here. A banquet is being held for a griffon to make sure that peace is secured. The trade agreement doesn't work out in Corona's favor, but they really need to avoid war. However, the griffon is very insecure and is easily insulted. Rapunzel, Cass, and Eugene are planning the event. However, their differing personalities make it hard for them to get along, or even agree on anything. Pascal and Max eventually get tired of their bickering. Xavier gives them a mood potion to help. However, they accidentally pour too much of it into their drinks. Now Rapunzel is grumpy, Eugene is insecure, and Cass is too cheerful. Rapunzel figures out what happened and makes Pascal and Max tell her what they did. Now, the effects of the potion could last days, and the banquet is that night. Max and Pascal go looking for the ingredient Xavier needs for a new elixir. However, their antics wind up knocking him out, so they have to make the potion themselves. Which they do. Very easily. In a cheery, old timey montage. So naturally, something else has to go wrong. The griffon arrives. Rapunzel tells him that he needs them, but they don't, so he should just swallow his pride and accept their help. Pascal and Max end up pouring too much of the potion into a fog machine. Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cass go back to normal, but now everyone else's personality is reversed. For example, Frederic becomes a violent tyrant, leading into the first scene from before. While in a cell, Rapunzel says that they were jerks to each other, and Max and Pascal were just trying to help. Cass could be more compassionate, Eugene could be more humble, and Rapunzel doesn't have to be upbeat all the time, and should be more frank when she's annoyed at things. They break out and head back upstairs. Cass fights her dad, Rapunzel talks to hers, and Eugene gets the crowd out of there. Rapunzel is able to get her dad to fight through the potion. The trade agreement goes well. I wouldn't blame them if they decided to keep the griffon's personality switched, because he says that Rapunzel was right. Rapunzel throws the potion out to sea, but it goes into a river, and is found by *Varian.* Yeah. There are easier ways to try and get rid of dangerous things.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E8

## Plot

Spyke gets a D on his "social science" report. Do they mean psychology or sociology? To make it up, he has to record current events in his life that are important to him. Kitty and Rogue fight, and both plan on auditioning for a play. Sabretooth steals Spyke's camera and finds out that Logan is at the institute. Spyke gets the camera back and continues filming people, including invading their personal space and recording them using their powers. Sabretooth attacks the school. The X-Men are able to fight him off and he leaves. He attacks Spyke, Rogue, and Kitty while they're filming outside later. Spyke planned for him to attack them. Rogue absorbs his powers, and Wolverine drops him off in the Arctic, so it'll be a while before they hear from him again. Plus, Xavier erased his memories of the institute. Evan shows his film, which is about his surrogate family at the institute. This was a filler episode. The plot wasn't that good.
World of Winx S2 E11

## Plot

The girls create clones so they can get away, and decide that the World of Dreams will have to wait. Despite the small size of Jim's army, I'd say that they're holding their own against the shadows. Tink and the Shaman can't see Matt in the mirror. While the Winx try to fix whatever's going on, Venomya shows up onstage. Matt saves the rest of the army when it looks like they're being overwhelmed, including Hook himself. Tink calls on all of her forces to try and defeat him. The Winx are able to get rid of Venomya and fix everything. It looks like it was just an earthquake, but it's over now. When faced with a giant three headed shadow creature, Tiger Lily saves Hook, but he doesn't return the favor, so Matt saves her. He finally destroys the giant shadow creature, but doing so briefly knocked him out. Tink decides to deal with them personally, but she and Matt recognize each other. She willingly gives up her title and her powers. Jim says she's lying. When he tries to punish her with the sword, it burns him, because he's not Peter Pan, or a descendant of his. The Winx show up, and say that Tink is no longer a threat to them, and she should be given another chance. She was blinded by pain after Peter abandoned her, and was jealous of everyone else's happiness. Hook declares himself the new King of Neverland, and reveals that Matt is Peter Pan's son. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with the Winx and Matt on Tink's side, and everyone else on Hook's.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E3

## Plot

When the boy accidentally touches her arm, she absorbs his skills and memories. She can't remember who she really is. Destiny calls Mystique about what she saw, and everyone calls her Rogue. In the movies her real name is Marie. She's from Mississippi. The X-Men are watching a simulation that teaches them how to get past security systems. Kitty is freaked out by Kurt. Xavier tells them about Rogue. Mystique's real name is Raven. She shape shifts into the X-Men to manipulate her into coming to her side willingly. Rogue absorbs Kurt's ability and memories and teleports away. Kitty is scared because Kurt was hurt and mentally calls Xavier for help. Rogue hides in a cemetery and starts getting the hang of her powers. Jean gives her a communicator, but Mystique's manipulations still scare her. She absorbs Storm's power, and Jean, Scott, and Storm barely escape electrocution. Rogue teleports away. Wolverine smells Mystique, but they can't go after her because they have to take care of Kurt and Storm. Rogue joins Mystique's side. Magneto is glad they got to her first. Mystique believes that any residual memories from the X-Men have faded, but Rogue still has the communicator Jean gave her.

## Review

I loved this episode! Rogue is my favorite character! Wolverine is a seriously close second though. I love any episode that features her! She's just so awesome!

World of Winx S2 E3

## Plot

In the forest of Neverland, Hook tells Smee that fear is only a state of mind. While testing his bravery, they're confronted by the Crocodile Man. On Earth, the Winx look at a picture of the fresco they found in the London theater. It looks like the night sky. Before they can figure out what it means, the spirit asks for their help again. Bloom decides to split up. Aisha, Flora, and Tecna will go to Neverland, while the others look for Matt. They fight the Crocodile Man, and Flora buries him under a ton of rocks. Cool. He runs away, and they follow him. He wants to be followed, and they know it. The others realize that it's a map of a famous place that they have to get to: They're going back to Paris. Each star lines up with a famous landmark. The brightest star is their destination: Notre Dame Cathedral. Yes! Cue the Hunchback of Notre Dame music! I don't know why, but that was my favorite Disney film when I was little. Musa loves Paris. While trapped by their fans, Stella distracts them so Musa can leave. She's unknowingly followed by Banshee. She sees a telescope on an engraving on the cathedral. She finds Matt, and sees that he has the same telescope. He runs away. She tries to find him, but Banshee interferes and attacks her. She runs away and hides. She contacts Bloom and tells her what she found. It's like her mind hurts. Banshee attacks her again. In Neverland, Hook and Smee find the girls to warn them about the Enchanted Swamp. Tinkerbell cursed it to trap the most powerful creatures on the island, even the Alligator Man. He's Crocodile Man's brother. He led them here to help his brother. Inside the tunnel, they're attacked by insect creatures made of sticky, green mud. They grab the girls. Flora tries talking to it. It's a magical being, so it can't hear her. It absorbs Crocodile Man, and starts absorbing them. I like how Banshee floats, and she's totally silent except for her screaming. The episode ends on not one, but two cliffhangers: Musa fighting a losing battle against Banshee, with Bloom and Stella on the way, and the others being fully absorbed by the cave.
World of Winx S1 E8

## Plot

At the police station, Evans questions Bloom about Annabelle. She says that she went to Annabelle's apartment to find her. For no reason whatsoever, Bloom breaks the fourth wall to explain to the real audience that she could tell them about the talent thief, but that would "put them in danger." They're detectives, they should be able to handle themselves. Plus, they probably wouldn't believe her. They present the watch from Annabelle's apartment to her. Bloom claims that she's never seen it before. Um, *of course the police have it!* Evans and Gómez would've searched her apartment right away when Annabelle went missing! Bloom, you're an idiot. If you were smarter and *really* wanted that watch, you would've known to break into the police station, not Annabelle's apartment. On the day she disappeared, Annabelle had reported a break-in at her apartment by a stranger. She brought the watch to the station. They take Bloom's fingerprints, but don't find hers on the watch. They have to let her go for now, but Evans warns her that they'll be seeing each other soon. Bloom draws a picture of the man she saw and wonders if he's the talent thief. She asks for Roxy's help in getting the watch back. It turns out that Roxy knows about their secret mission and the whole fairy thing, so she's probably one too. And Artu is back too! It turns out that Roxy can use her animal powers to see what animals see. She sees Evans and Gómez pull up, having followed Bloom. Also, either Artu is short for Arthur or that's Atru's new name. Wait, it's only been a few *days* since Annabelle's disappearance? It felt like way longer. Roxy gets "Arthur" to take Gómez's car keys, and he and Evans chase after him. Suddenly, the Winx get a vision of a new talent in Beijing, China. Outside the temple from the vision, a crowd is gathered around two people locked in a duel: A blonde woman and a strangely dressed man. He disappears and reappears suddenly, but neither has an edge on the other. It ends when the man uses magic to tie the girl up and levitate her out of the ring. The girls arrive at the Light Tiger Palace. Bloom is there, somehow. But, what about the watch? The semi-final contestants are Torvald, Kalima, the mystery man from before, who is called the Urban Shaman, and Yu, the girl from the Winx Club's collective vision. Yu defeats Torvald. Aisha asks her to be on WOW, and she accepts. Aisha also tells her that she could be in danger. The Urban Shaman easily defeats Kalima. After fighting Yu, he uses a magic stone to make them both disappear in a puff of red smoke. The girls look for him outside. Flora uses her powers and sees that they're in the forest and are about to head into the World of Dreams. I just now realized that Vincenzo was such a douchebag that no one even tried to kidnap him. The Winx transform, but they're too late to save Yu. The Shaman fights them with magic stones. The episode ends with the fight still going on. Italy, your attempts to create a cliffhanger are unwanted and need some serious work.
World of Winx S1 E5

## Plot

Bloom decides to use the last of the gold dust on herself so she can visit the World of Dreams in her dreams. There's only enough to get herself there and back. She talks to Annabelle again. She didn't see the Crocodile Man when she was kidnapped, but she saw the strange watch in her apartment. The man from the first episode was watching her. He planned to kidnap her then, but her friends interrupted and he escaped. He left the watch behind though. The shadows approach them. Bloom tells Annabelle to run and she wakes up. She tells the other girls about it and wants to visit Annabelle's apartment right away. However, the show starts again. Bloom almost blows their cover by insisting that they're not going anywhere. Luckily, Stella covers for her. Tecna is still tracking the watch, and tells the others that the Crocodile Man just left the World of Dreams. Suddenly, the girls get a vision of a new talent in Paris. Also, apparently it took this long for someone to name their new powers: Stella dubs it their Dreamix power, since Bloom still chose their club name in this universe. Stella is super excited that they're going to Paris. Their talent is a girl who attends the best fashion school in the city. They meet the talent, Sophie. However, she and Stella don't get along. Ace tells the girls to persuade her to be on the show. If Stella can prove to Sophie that she has style, then she'll be on WoW. After a competition, both girls love the other's work. However, Sophie didn't make the dress of her dreams. She was going to do something different, but she kept second guessing herself and her teacher would think it was poor art. Stella advises her to lighten up, otherwise she won't have fun, even if it's her passion. That's really good advice. I love to write, but I can't burn myself out. Sophie finally creates the dress of her dreams. It's decided that the Winx will model her new collection at the Paris fashion show that night to kick off Fashion Week in Paris. The girls don't want to, since it would expose Sophie to the talent thief even more, but Ace makes it clear that there's no room for argument. Stella will be by Sophie's side during the whole show, and there are no cameras around backstage. Tecna's tracker indicates that the Crocodile Man is in the area. He grabs Sophie and escapes. Stella was easily knocked into a clothes rack. The Winx go after him and transform, since the cameras are still at the fashion show. They knock him off a roof, but he uses his watch to escape. Sophie wakes up, and the girls explain that someone tried to kidnap her. However, Bloom senses something off about her. She's been voted to appear in WoW's final competition. However, she doesn't express anything about the news. The girls get a vision of the real Sophie in the World of Dreams being approached by… something. The other Sophie is an imposter.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E10

## Plot

Rogue has a nightmare in the middle of the night. This isn't the first time she's had the dream either. They started when she moved to the Institute. It was about a woman and a baby. She realizes that the baby was Kurt. Xavier calls them down to get to the bottom of it. He and Rogue see that Mystique was the woman, who accidentally dropped Kurt into a river while trying to get away from Magneto, who did some experiments on him. She found him later, but he was adopted by a normal family in rural Germany. Xavier and Rogue decide not to tell Kurt to protect him. Since he was just a baby in the dream, she got the memories from Mystique after Rogue touched her during episode 7. Xavier has Logan check out the castle from the dream, but Magneto trashed it and blew it up before he could properly investigate. Kurt gets a message from Mystique telling him to meet at a construction site at sundown, and to come alone. He decides to do it, right before Scott comes in to say that the professor wants to talk to him, presumably to tell him the truth. Pietro tells Magneto what Mystique has done. He wants the Brotherhood to intercept Kurt before he talks to her. The X-Men find out where Kurt went and head there to get him. He finds out that Mystique is his mom, and is naturally shocked and angry at this. Their talk is interrupted by the Brotherhood and X-Men showing up and fighting. The X-Men win, but Mystique disappears before she can give Kurt and Rogue any answers. The two bond over both being adopted, and they promise each other that they'll find their answers together someday.

## Review

I love this episode. It's pretty clear that Mystique regrets everything that happened between her and Kurt, and she does care about him. She's just more loyal to Magneto than him.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E4

She takes Fred's strength and defeats him, but doesn't join the X-Men.
X-Men: Evolution S1 E11

## Plot

I'm beginning to think this show likes opening on nightmares, because we get another one here, and right after the last one. Specifically, Logan has a nightmare about his past as a Weapon X operative and being experimented on. Kitty wants some peace and quiet, which is hard to get around the institute. But it's a mansion! And there are only five other "students" there! Logan has a bit of a freakout after hearing about Mount McKenna being terrorized in the Canadian wilderness and trashes his room. He talks to Xavier about it. He reads Logan's mind, and discovers that he got his metal claws from a scientist at that mountain. Logan takes the jet there to check it out. Kitty and Kurt get stuck on board after Kitty is desperate to get some time alone and Kurt teleports inside to find her. It turns out that there's a microchip inside Logan's head that allows him to be controlled by said freaky scientist, and he locks himself in so he doesn't hurt them. After they land, Kitty and Kurt decide to follow him. Although I do wonder why they suddenly have their costumes on. Kurt has his image inducer, but are there extra outfits in the jet somewhere in case they ever need to change? Plus, they're just kids. Why don't they ever try to contact Xavier or Storm for help? Shouldn't someone notice that they're missing? The scientist is working with Sabretooth. Logan is mind controlled into trying to murder Kurt and Kitty, along with Sabretooth. With Kitty's help, Logan is able to beat the chip in his head. Kitty phases through the computer and causes the whole lab to blow up. She and the others are okay, and the scientist is presumably dead. She doesn't seem all that phased, pun not intended, about killing someone. The guy probably deserved it, but still. Back at the institute, Kitty finally gets some privacy with some help from Kurt, and Logan has the chip removed.

## Review

Aw, Kitty and Logan's friendship is so cute! He's always had a sweet relationship like that with one of the younger girls, in the comics, TV shows, and movies, since the 1980s. They're basically his sidekick. Sometimes it's Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat, sometimes it's Jubilation Lee/Jubilee, and my personal favorite is Marie/Rogue with the surrogate father-daughter or brother-sister relationship in the first three live action movies from Fox. Probably because that was my first exposure to the characters.
World of Winx S2 E4

## Plot

Following the previous episode's literal cliffhanger, Banshee continues to attack Musa. In Neverland, Aisha gets herself, Flora, Tecna, Crocodile Man, and Alligator Man out of the mud. She's using her power to control fluids. They leave the cave. Hook tells the croc that they didn't imprison his brother, Tink did. Flora says that it's time to forget the past and put personal issues behind them. They agree to join them in their fight against the queen. Hook pulls out a magical map, and adds them to their allies. He tells the girls that finding Matt shouldn't be their priority. At Notre Dame, Stella and Bloom show up to help. At least they can see Banshee. They leap at her, but they're blown back into the trees. A piece of debris hits a bell, which causes it to ring. This causes Banshee pain. Musa figures out that her weakness is a harmonious melody, and plays a tune on the bells. Banshee is destroyed. Bloom and Stella wake up. The others return to Earth. The spirit asks for their help *again*. Really lady? Tinkerbell turned the Mermaids Lagoon into a dark and hostile place. Three mermaids escaped to Earth, into Paris. They can take human form and charm people, like sirens. But we just got done dealing with a banshee. In a pretty anticlimactic way too. A nemesis shouldn't go out so easily. They find the three mermaids. They teleport through the water. Aisha sees that they're at a pool party. Stella talks to them, but they insult her, and they and the guys they charmed laugh at her. It reminds her of when she was bullied as a child. The mermaids return to their true forms in the pool, and charm everyone. Someone could get hurt. Everyone is scared away by the appearance of Croc Man and Alligator Man. The Winx chase after the mermaids. But first they change into their spy clothes for no real reason. The mermaids think that the queen sent the Winx to take them back to the lagoon, and realize that they're fairies. After a very long, dull, gratuitous chase scene, Flora saves them from falling to their deaths. They go back to Neverland to offer their help to Hook. Musa uses her sound powers to find Matt. However, it's just his flat and answering machine.

Winx Club S6 E6

## Plot

The Trix agree to let Diaspro join them, but only if she finds a way to kill Bloom at a party on Domino that she's been invited to. Selina says that Domino's palace is home to the Vortex of Flames, a place with such fierce magic, not even Bloom could stand up to it. There's also a legend in the book about Fireeaters. Daphne is finally becoming the crown princess of Domino. Bloom feels weak because she gave up most of her Dragon Flame to her friends. Instead of telling anyone, she ignores it because she's an idiot. She tells Daphne that Thoren can't take his eyes off of her. They dance later. Sky isn't thrilled about them hanging out. He tells Bloom that when he and Thoren were kids, they were attacked while looking for animal tracks. Thoren was scared and ran away without putting up a fight. Because of that, Sky barely managed to escape. Bloom collapses after dancing with him. Selina unleashes the Fireeaters. Daphne tells the others that Bloom doesn't have enough of the Dragon Flame left to sustain herself. Before Sky can take her to her room, the Fireeaters enter. Everyone else panics and flees, and Daphne and the rest of the Winx transform. Thoren helps Sky fight a Fireeater. Diaspro tells them that the monsters took over the whole northern area of the palace, and the Vortex of Flames is the only place where Bloom can restore her power. The guys don't believe her, but Sky is injured by another Fireeater… that Diaspro defeats, which convinces Thoren to take Bloom to the Vortex of Flames, because he's an idiot. Sky wakes up, and tells Daphne that Bloom is in danger. Legend says that only the Vortex of Flames can defeat the Fireeaters. Daphne says that the Vortex was a magic place to test the Dragon Flame, but its power grew uncontrollable over the centuries, and Bloom is too weak to handle it. She and Sky go after Thoren, and tell him that Diaspro is lying. Bloom falls into the Vortex. Sky jumps in to try and save her, but can't, and Thoren saves him before he falls in the lava and fire. Daphne attacks Diaspro, but she disappears. More Fireeaters show up. Bloom is able to dig deep and unlocks her own Bloomix form. Thoren tells Sky that he won't let him down again. Bloom uses her new powers to defeat the Fireeaters. Thoren apologizes to Sky for what happened when they were kids, and Sky forgives him. The episode ends as he and Daphne hold hands.
