Today a fantastic episode air! It was more like the Season premiere. It was a lot better then The Lilo, and probably would've made a better Season starter.

So we start out with the Winx going to the Frutti Music Bar. Well, first they put on a fairy show, but I didn't think that was worth noting. It wasn't much. Anyway, They go there, they talk, and Sky tries to give Bloom a pendant-- the Pendant of Eraklyon, which he says if you give to your true love you and your loved one will have good luck. (anyone wanna bet that in some other dub it'll be to propose to her? after Nabu's 'forever girlfriend' move, I would NOT be surprised)

But of course, Bloom keeps being distracted so he doesn't get around to give it to her. Silly Sky. I feel like he's done this somewhere before.

The Winx also notice an oil rig in the sea, but it's not leaking or anything so they leave it alone. They also met Roxy at the bar, and she mentioned she was heading to Alfea "tomorrow", eee! Wanna see her at Alfea!

 So then Aisha shows she's video chatting with Tressa, who's sending her a live showing of the coronation going on on Andros. This next part really got me-- Aisha showed the Winx a picture of the royal family: Neptune, Ligea, Tressa, Nereus, and Tritannus. Then the Winx call Nereus a cutie, and Tritannus 'ehh'.

..are you kidding me? They look exactly the same, but one has darker hair and slightly darker skin. My goodness. They look exactly the same. Anyway, as seen in the clip "Masked Assassin," Tritannus interrupts the coronation. But man, is it just me or is Neptune kinda a jerk? Who goes on with the coronation when one of your children isn't there. Talk about playing favorites.

Anyway, as seen Tritannus is pretty disliked among the Andros people. And yeah, he is a total jerk. But that's not why they dislike him. It seems like a "OMG NEREUS IS SOOO MUCH BETTER" kinda thing going on. Poor little Tritannus.

Anyway, they start to send him to jail then we're back with the Winx. They realize the oil rig had an accident, and is now spilling oil all over the ocean! Flora has one of her psychic nature pain blasts, who knew it affected her for only water too? Thought it was only plants. And yeah, I know there are plants in the ocean, but didn't think they'd be far enough up to affect Flora.

They go in and save the people involved, but during the event Sky accidentally loses his pendant! It's a shame, it was pretty nice looking. Both Flora and Aisha try to stop the spill, and while they got it to stop leaking by turning the rig into something else, there's still pollution floating around in the sea.

So at the end we're back to Tritanuus, in prison. There he finds.. the Trix?

Am I the only one a little confused at this? Why are the Trix in prison? Weren't they just after the Lilo? The Winx didn't throw them in prison, they just kinda drove them off. Oh well. So then it pretty much implies that Tritannus and the Trix were teaming up.

Then in the next episode preview at the end, it showed Tritannus absorbing the pollution, and breaking into more containers of oil (I think?) and absorbing that to have more pollution-power.

Man, is it just me or is Tritannus a total jerk? I knew he was kind of whiny and I kinda felt bad for him with his brother becoming king, but dang. Now he's just being ridiculous.

Anyway, I really liked this episode! It was much better then The Lilo, and it was a proper Season opener. ;) Be sure to tune in next week when they air the third episode!
