"**Tough Love**" is the thirty-sixth episode of the third season of *The Fairly OddParents*.

It premiered on March 31, 2018 alongside "Bam Ui Pati!"[1]

## Synopsis

Eclipsa and Wanda bring Princess Meteora home peacefully after the massive destruction she's caused.[2]

## Plot

The episode begins at the Pigeon Kingdom of Fairy World, where Wanda and Eclipsa discuss the growing threat of Meteora Fairywinkle with King and Queen Pigeon. Prince Rich Pigeon, speaking for his unintelligible parents, intends to hunt down Meteora after her recent attack on his castle, but Wanda implores him not to take matters into his own hands and let her and Eclipsa take care of Meteora themselves. As Rich Pigeon struggles with his mechanical suit, he angrily tells Wanda and Eclipsa to leave.

Riding on the backs of their warnicorns, Wanda and Eclipsa follow Meteora's trail of destruction. Eclipsa is nervous about reuniting with her daughter after such a long time apart, but Wanda warns her that Meteora might be beyond saving. After some time traveling, they come across a decimated village and the angry mob of villagers that live there. Like Rich Pigeon, the villagers seek revenge on the monster that destroyed their homes, and Wanda and Eclipsa quickly move on from the unreasonable townsfolk.

As Eclipsa wonders how they're going to find Meteora before the villagers do, Eddie appears, having also been following "the beast" and mentioning that she's getting bigger by the day. Wanda asks Eddie to lead them to Meteora, and Eddie agrees. He leads Wanda and Eclipsa to a bog that Meteora has completely ravaged. In addition to anything edible and drinkable, Meteora has also been consuming the souls of Eddie's family members and leaving them as weightless, balloon-like husks.

Meteora's footprints end at a small, dense collection of trees, and Eddie ventures inside to wake her up, against Wanda and Eclipsa's advisement. Following a flash of green light, Eddie also becomes a weightless husk when Meteora consumes his soul. Meteora then emerges from the trees, her form now giant and purplish to more closely resemble her monster father. Wanda wants to deal with Meteora right away, but Eclipsa insists that she try and reason with her.

Eclipsa approaches Meteora with a stuffed toy, and Meteora recognizes it as her childhood toy Bobo. Realizing that Eclipsa is her long-lost mother, Meteora calms down from her monstrous rampage, and Eclipsa says now that they're together again, they can catch up on everything they missed out on. Eclipsa asks Meteora what she wants, and Meteora says she wants the throne of Fairy World. When Eclipsa says the throne isn't hers to give, Meteora gets upset and argues that the throne is her birthright. Despite Eclipsa's attempts to be a stern but fair mother, Meteora refuses to listen.

With peaceful communications breaking down, Wanda steps in and tries to apprehend Meteora by force. Meteora attacks with her soul-stealing vision, and Wanda retaliates by transforming into her mewberty form and blasting Meteora with magic. In the middle of their battle, Eclipsa tells Meteora that she loves her and begs her to stop. This distracts Meteora long enough for Wanda to trap her in rocks and dirt. However, before Wanda can deal the final blow, Eclipsa intervenes. When she grabs Wanda by the arms, white veins appear on both of their arms and on Wanda's face. Meteora takes advantage of this to blast Wanda with her soul-stealing magic, and white light engulfs the battlefield.

When Eclipsa regains consciousness, Wanda's left eye is black and her right eye resembles Timmy's eyes from when he wasn't in control of his mewberty form. In a frantic panic, Wanda opens a dimensional portal and flies away to what looks like the Realm of Magic. Meanwhile, Meteora breaks free of Wanda's containment and escapes, leaving Eclipsa stunned.
