Winx Club S4 E13

## Plot

Continuing where the last episode left off, the Winx and the guys fight the Wizards of the Black Circle. Oh, and Artu was injured, Roxy transformed for the first time, and her father, Rick, knows that she's a fairy now. I love the Specialists, and I know they're helping, but the wizards are kicking their butts. Then again, they've also done that to the Winx too. The girls are forced to leave their boyfriends behind to face the wizards alone so they can protect Roxy and her family. That doesn't work though, because the wizards immediately go after them for the white circle. Timmy is able to place a tracer on them though. We're only about four minutes in, FYI. Please be a good fight scene! Roxy is upset that Artu was hurt, even if Rick says that he'll recover, and blames the Winx for everything that's happened. No Roxy! Don't follow Bloom's example! She's a terrible mentor! Don't be a whiny, annoying brat! Please! Plus, the wizards would have come after you regardless of if the Winx and Specialists got involved. If they hadn't you would've been kidnapped far sooner, and would've likely never seen your dad or Artu ever again. Now she *really* doesn't want to be a fairy. It's decided that Bloom will stay behind to protect Roxy, and the other girls will fight the wizards. Betcha that plan won't work for very long, considering that Bloom has Roxy and the white circle, i.e., the only two things that the wizards want. Also, why doesn't she just heal Artu with her powers? It works on pixies, humans, and fairies, so why wouldn't it work on animals? Anagan calls Timmy a coward, which I choose to believe is a possible reference to Timmy's relationship problems in season 2. Timmy goes after him, but that just winds up with him falling off a building. Luckily, Tecna is there to save him. During a fight with Duman, who's disguised exactly like him, Brandon is able to convince Stella that he's the real one, and he apologizes for the whole Mitzi misunderstanding and everything that happened as a result of it. Even though it was all Stella's fault in the first place for overreacting and basically victim blaming her boyfriend for being sexually harassed or assaulted, so she should be the one apologizing to him for being a jealous, judgmental bitch. So far, Helia and Flora have lost to Anagan, Tecna and Timmy lost to Gantlos, and things aren't looking too good for Stella, Brandon, Musa, and Riven vs. Duman and Gantlos. But here comes my favorite part of the episode. Sky, Nabu, and Aisha vs. Ogron, atop a speeding train. Unfortunately, it only lasts about a minute before everyone is thrown off. Coincidentally, the train stops at the station where Bloom, Roxy, Rick, and Artu are hiding. Bloom fights Ogron, but loses. Their only hope now is if Roxy uses the white circle. After it controlled her though, she became terrified of the thing. Everyone else starts regrouping. The woman who spoke to Roxy speaks to her again. This time, we see what she looks like. Roxy is able to use the white circle against Ogron, and she almost single handedly kills him in one hit. Oh, if only that train had run him over. However, their attack causes chaos and pandemonium, which Bloom is able to quell. Now lots of people believe in fairies again, which weakens the wizards' power, and strengthens the Winx. Back in the Magix dimension, new flowers are blooming on the Tree of Life, specifically the Earth branch. At the Frutti Music Bar, things seem great as everyone is celebrating, but it's clear that there's still a rift between Musa and Riven.

## Review

So, did those two ever officially break up? No one's mentioned it onscreen since Musa announced it at the end of episode 10. I like that things are back to normal between Stella and Brandon at least, even if the whole situation was Stella's fault, not Brandon's, so she should've been the one to apologize to him, not the other way around. No one is responsible for something that is done *to them*, it's always the perpetrator's fault for committing the act in the first place. Also, if Mitzi is the same age as most of the Winx (19), and rich, then you'd think she'd have gotten a job, moved away, or enrolled in college by now. Then again, if I were rich, I probably wouldn't get a job.
