Winx Club S5 E15

## Plot

Tritannus still can't activate the Emperor's Throne. He finally examines it and sees that one of its legs is broken. The girls are practicing in the simulator room. Except Aisha, who left to go home to Andros. During the exercise, the girls are attacked by some sea creatures. It gets darker, and they need light. Stella freezes up though. She doesn't know how to use the Light of Sirenix. The girls fail their objective because of it. Stella realizes that she messed up, but Bloom knows that she can do it. On Andros, Aisha is happy to see her parents again, but she's still upset about the fate of their extended family. Teredor thinks that he has a way to help her. Some mermaids found King Neptune's sword at the palace while they were fleeing. They brought it here to him. He gives it to her, and she vows to drive Tritannus out the Infinite Ocean. The sword is magical, but it's meant to be wielded in the ocean. Still, Aisha with a golden sword! So cool! Tritannus and the Trix attack the Pillar of Light. They need three seals to fix the throne. They decide to steal the seals from the Pillars of Light, Balance, and Control. When they do that though, it starts affecting all of the suns, on all of the worlds. The other girls want to figure out a way to stop the mutants without hurting them. Stella tries asking Tara Strong, I mean, her Guardian of Sirenix. She tells her to open her heart to her power, whatever that means. Stella senses that something is wrong with the sun. They're all being eclipsed: On Alfea, Domino, Andros, Eraklyon, and even Solaria, the sun planet. Stella is worried, since without the sun, her father could die. The girls decide to head there right away to figure out what's causing it. We finally meet Luna, Stella's mother. She gets her power from the moon. She's still the queen of Solaria, despite being divorced. And she still cares about Radius, albeit not in a romantic way. He's too prideful though. The second sun of Solaria compensates for what's happened at first, but Radius collapses when it starts being eclipsed too. Teredor tells Aisha that it's coming from the Infinite Ocean. Tritannus must have weakened the Pillar of Light. It does make sense that the ocean planet filled with merpeople would know the most about the Infinite Ocean. Aisha tells the rest of the girls. They think that Stella should stay with her parents, but she wants to help save her dad. It's even dark in the Infinite Ocean, like in the simulation. The selkies tell the girls that the Pillar of Light is under attack. They were summoned by the guardian selkies, who protect each Pillar. Anyways, the Winx fight the Trix and Tritannus. Aisha notices the seal in his hand, but doesn't know what it is, nor does she understand the significance behind it yet. Then Tritannus summons his mutants. Stella tries to attack, but Aisha points out that they could be her family. And even if they aren't, they're still innocent merpeople who have been turned into monsters. My point is the same as when Tecna was turned into a robot. Sure, these guys *can* feel pain, and you'd probably feel bad about hurting them. But what if that's what's necessary? Forgot stopping them, how about figuring out a way to turn them back to normal? If it can work for Musa, it can work for them. Now, I'm not saying that everyone has to bond with selkies, because that would be a waking nightmare. Anyways, Stella decides to stop them with her Light of Sirenix, saying that both of her parents give her the strength to do this. She casts a blinding light that sends the mutants away. They're goin' over the rainbow, over the rainbow, over the rainbow now! This angers Tritannus. Bloom tries to use this to her advantage by attacking him while he's distracted, so he won't see it coming. If I were her at this point, I'd make it a killing blow. However, Icy sees her, and in a *very* out of character moment, throws herself in front of the blast to save Tritannus. Even the Winx are surprised by *Icy*, of all people, doing something selfless. Hurting her *really* pisses Tritannus off though, and he stabs his trident into the Pillar, destabilizing it. Wow. Love really does make you do crazy things. One of the rocks almost falls on Aisha and Bloom. Despite the fact that they're in the water, and while that means that they'd move slower, so would any debris heading towards them. Also, *they have magic powers!* They can either use attacks to push it away or destroy it, or use shields to protect themselves. This is not a cliffhanger you guys. Seriously, in the preview for the next episode, they *show* Stella blasting it away and saving them! Also, Aisha doesn't use the sword until the next episode. And it's not even to use it as a sword. It's for its magic. That's what turns the mutants back to normal.

## Review

Stella said die again! Stella! You naughty, naughty girl! I don't care if you're a year older than the others, that does not give you the right to be so vulgar! Joking aside, I personally thought that this episode wasn't terrible. Anyways, all of the girls have a special, ultimate Sirenix power. As the season goes on, they'll unlock these powers. At the very least, I guess they look kind of cool. My favorite is Aisha's. My least favorite's is Bloom's, for being contrived and not even being able to look cool like the others. And because *fire doesn't work underwater!* Also, I have an intense urge to call the selkies either exposition or tour guide selkies, because all they do is provide exposition or show the Winx around the Infinite Ocean. At least they don't have a whole episode dedicated to them. Or a terrible spin off show. So, after literally years of work on this and over 1,300 other pages, I finally received my first comment… from a person that I'm pretty sure is a child. Okay, maybe it's because it's almost 2020 and that Child Online Privacy Protection Act has me paranoid, but just because most of the shows I write about are aimed at children doesn't mean that my reviews are also aimed at children. I get frustrated, I curse occasionally, and sometimes I make inappropriate jokes, all because these reviews are intended for teenagers and adults, not children. At the end of the day, this is still just a hobby for me, and I make no money from it whatsoever. That being said, this page is now under protection indefinitely.
