World of Winx S1 E7

## Plot

A young aspiring chef named Vincenzo works at a restaurant, but makes what he wants instead of what the customers order. His boss, Tony, tells him to enter the cooking contest at the Botanical Garden the next day and represent the restaurant. If he loses though, he can consider himself fired. Also, I hate Vincenzo's voice. Why couldn't Tony be the guy we're following instead? Young people aren't the only kinds of people with talent or dreams you know! Evans and Gómez are using listening devices to eavesdrop on the girls in their loft. They need a confession to arrest the girls for Annabelle's abduction. Stella moves a painting, and the bug falls out and breaks. Bloom is still fired, but now she has the time to find the watch from Annabelle's apartment. Ace introduces the girls to Bloom's replacement, Lorelei. She's… many things. Annoying, ditzy, invasive, obnoxious, mean spirited, an attention hog, etc. The Winx get a vision of Vincenzo at the garden. Bloom will look for the watch while the other girls stay in Gardenia to meet him. Oh, so they are located in Gardenia. Gómez sees them drive off and follows them. Evans is following Bloom. The girls meet Vincenzo, who has a bad attitude. Also, the reason he sounds dumb is because he has a stereotypical Italian accent. There's also a guy with a sombrero competing for a Mexican restaurant, and an Asian woman competing for a Japanese restaurant. Women can be professional chefs too. Why can't she be the talent, since I like her design and she seems the least stereotypical out of the three. The Winx (and Lorelei) will be their assistants. Aisha is too fast and can't cut the wasabi into thin slices. Musa can, but she's really slow. Lorelei and Stella fight. Vincenzo refuses help from Flora and Tecna. Tecna notes that his recipe is exaggerated and inedible, and Flora notes that it seems like he doesn't care. One point goes to Diego Rio from the Mexican restaurant Gracias, and two points go to Aki Abe, the woman from the Japanese restaurant Ninjin. Yay, a woman won a professional cooking competition! Seriously, why can't the Winx help *her*? The most stereotypical thing about her was that she was introduced with a Japanese instrument, a musical choice that was repeated for the Mexican Diego and the Italian Vincenzo. I guess all of their names are a little on the nose. I get that this is an Italian show, but they couldn't have changed Vincenzo to Vincent? My point is, it's harder for women to become professional chefs than men. Anyways, Tecna and Flora get Vincenzo to see that his dish was terrible. Bloom sees Evans following her. Vincenzo listens to Tecna and Flora this time. He gets one point and is tied with Diego, but Aki gets two more. Is it bad that I'm rooting for her? In the third round, she gets one point and Vincenzo gets two. With only one point, Diego is eliminated. It turns out that "Diego Rio" was just Gómez in a mustache. And I never actually noticed. I swear, I really didn't! He's better at disguises than Evans! See, now *that* is a man who knows how to blend in! He calls Evans, who has to leave. This allows Bloom to finally investigate Annabelle's apartment. She can't find the watch though. Meanwhile, Vincenzo receives conflicting advice from Tecna and Flora. One wants him to do the logical thing, and the other wants him to trust his instincts. Guess which is which? He remembers Tony's advice and makes four flavor ice cream. He gets three points in the final round and beats Aki Abe, who seems to be a graceful loser. Tony is proud of Vincenzo, and they'll continue to work together. He's also the next finalist on WoW. He finally realized that he needs to make others happy with his dishes, which was Tony's advice. Working on his technique and putting his heart into it are both important parts of that though, and he thanks Tecna and Flora. The guy from the first episode was hiding in Annabelle's closet. He jumps out the window. Bloom transforms and follows him. He escapes when he endangers a family to distract her. Afterwards, she's confronted by Evans, who says that she has some questions for her. Gómez picks them up and they drive off.
