Winx Club S5 E16

## Plot

Radius has regained consciousness. Luna is taking care of him. Even though they're divorced, they're still family, and he's still her king. Radius wants to mobilize their forces, but he's too sick. The Pillar of Light needs to be restored soon, or they could all lose their lives. True, all life needs sunlight to survive. Anyways, Stella saves Bloom and Aisha. Tritannus leaves with the seal, Icy, and his mutants. Aisha, Bloom, and Stella go after him while Flora, Musa, and Tecna stay behind to fight Darcy and Stormy. The two notice the others leaving without them, and hightail it out of there. Aisha uses Neptune's sword's magic on two of the mutants. They turn out to be Nereus and Tressa, and they turn back to normal. Darcy and Stormy witness this and leave. Nereus and Tressa are grateful to Aisha. Sadly, she decides to give up the sword after only one use. No! She gives it to Nereus. With his father still… incapacitated, it's up to him to literally take up his dad's sword and be a good king. Like fighting Tritannus himself! Or using the sword's magic to free more merpeople! He doesn't do either of those things. They head back to the pillar. The girls try to use convergence magic to stabilize it. This doesn't work either. Stella uses her Light of Sirenix again to fix it. She's glad that her father will be okay, but also worried. When it was a crisis, her mom was there. They were a family again. But now that everything's okay, the two will argue again, like always. Stella is pretty inconsolable. Bloom gets a call from Sky, and they make plans to hang out later. We haven't seen *any* of the guys do anything meaningful in awhile. Faragonda is meeting with the kings of Domino, Solaria, Eraklyon, and Andros to decide what to do. So where exactly are Griffin, Saladin, and Codatorta during this? Radius and Erendor want to fight for and defend their own borders. Teredor and Oritel want to join forces and fight Tritannus together. But he's spending almost all of his time in the Infinite Ocean. And I think only the Winx can go in there… and the Trix… and the selkies… and merpeople, meaning Andros would be the planet best equipped to fight him and the Trix, since their army and/or royal guard is made up entirely of mermaids… and possibly also Roy? Seriously though, why can't normal people or others with magic enter the Infinite Ocean like the heroes, villains, and unnecessary supporting characters can? They decide to hold a summit on Domino with all of the other kingdoms to decide what to do. Diaspro is back, and she manipulates Erendor into making her the king's special liaison. It means she has authority over Sky. She's been keeping tabs on him. The queen of Eraklyon tells Erendor that that might not have been the best idea, but he ignores her and agrees with Diaspro. The Winx save Professor Wizgiz from a pollution monster. It was a test to see how well they could control their Sirenix powers and figure out a weakness. The monster couldn't take what it dished out. In other words, fight fire with fire. Why do I get the feeling that Bloom would take that literally? Anyways, Bloom and Sky hang out. Bloom still has the pendant, and loves it. But then Diaspro shows up to bring Sky back to Eraklyon in preparation for the summit. Ugh, we've already run through this Diaspro plot multiple times! In season 1! In season 3! And even earlier in this very season! Not to mention the knockoff Earth only genderbent versions in season 4 (Andy, his band, and Jason Queen). The target audience is too young to understand or care, and the older audience definitely doesn't care about going over the same stupid plots with the same characters that end the exact same way over and over again, not to mention ignoring the continuity of earlier seasons to make said plots work.
