Winx Club S6 E13

## Plot

In the last two episodes, Bloom was depressed at home, so the pixies tried to cheer her up. The rest of the Winx learned that Eldora's flower grows in Gardenia, because of course it does. Bloom learned about it too, through an old drawing of hers. The Trix and Selina sent vampires after Bloom, the pixies, and the rest of the Winx when they reunited, but Stella was able to defeat them. Also, Mike and Vanessa can see pixies now, even though they're not children or animals or magical creatures. I guess it's because magic is back on Earth now thanks to season 4? Also squared, the girls fail at using magic to cook. Also cubed, they only put one pizza in the oven, but Bloom comes out with nine. One for her, the rest of the Winx, her parents, and one for the pixies to actually share. Glad to see they didn't learn their lesson about not using their magic for something so trivial and superficial. Bloom is such a Mary Sue that Stella makes a toast about it. Selina's true goal is to free Acheron, but to do that, she needs the powers that the Trix have been gathering from the magic schools. Bloom shows the others her childhood drawing of herself and Selina at Eldora's house. They were only six at the time. The Winx meet Eldora. She's a little odd, but really nice. Selina casts a spell on Griffon's magic crystal ball so the Trix won't find out that she knows Eldora. They decide to go there in person and ambush the Winx. Bloom asks Eldora about Selina. Eldora sensed strong magical potential in both of them when they were young, but knew that Selina could benefit from extra guidance, so she became her fairy godmother. She was training to become a good fairy, and the girls wonder how she became an evil witch. Eldora says that she was the keeper of the Alexandria Library in Egypt. She brought Selina there and showed her the Legendarium. When she read from it, a hawk spirit came to life. They quickly defeated it and sent it back into the book. Once Eldora realized how dangerous it was, she traveled all around the world, looking for a way to lock it. Acheron spoke to Selina, and promised her great power if she could free him from the book. He gave her a small sample, and made her the witch of snakes. So, if Selina is from Earth like Roxy, and she was training to be a fairy, then how come she wasn't seen as an Earth fairy and also captured by the Wizards of the Black Circle? At least Eldora might not originally be from Earth. Sure, we know from Mirta that girls can switch from being a witch to a fairy, so it makes sense that the reverse would also apply, but it's still a plot hole because we don't know when this happened in the past. Maybe it was recently, I don't know. Eldora told Selina that Acheron was the sorcerer who created the Legendarium, but became trapped in its pages… somehow. You know what would be really cool? If, in addition to real Earth legends, Selina pulled out some more recent in-universe ones too, like Darkar, dark Bloom, evil copy Avalon, different versions of the Trix, the Wizards of the Black Circle, Tritannus, the Three Ancestral Witches, imaginary ones from different planets as world building, etc. How awesome would it be to see the Winx fight their old enemies? We'd get to see how far they've come in terms of abilities since the beginning, and it would explain how Valtor is alive again in season 8. Plus, a small part of me just wants them to bring back Nabu, no matter how contrived it is. Sadly, Selina never does anything even remotely interesting. One night, she took the Legendarium and left. Eldora hasn't seen her since, and tells the Winx that the Trix have no idea that they're the ones being used. Before she can tell them how to lock the book, they feel a rumble from outside. They see that it's the Trix and transform. Selina unleashes garden spirits to attack the Winx. Eldora uses her powers to defeat them, and the Trix retreat. Before she can tell the girls how to lock the book, they have to find a new meeting place, since the Trix know where she lives now. She hides her house with magic, and Bloom says they can go to her house. But the Trix have been there before too. They literally sent vampires to attack your house in the previous episode! Oh, whatever.
