Review: Season 5: Episode 11, Trix Tricks *SPOILERS*

YES, no episode 10! Episode 10 is the Christmas episode, which Nick is saving for Christmas. So that will ho up whenever they air it. Anyway, to the review! Sorry for this being a day late, my internet keeps having problems so I couldn't post it yesterday.

We start off with Daphne being tortured by the Trix and Tritannus so she would tell them about how to get Sirenix. Poor Daphne she just keeps getting tormented. She then proceeds to faint and Tritannus gets angry. They decide to go after Bloom so that Daphne will have some motivation to tell them. Daphne needs a break.

So we're at the Wind Riders competition, which we saw in the preview clip so I don't have to go over. (But really, why would you enter Sky in something like that when he just lost his memory.) How do those flaming cages stay in the air?

Somehow Sky manages not to die until the Trix come along and mess their bikes up. Also, before all this they kept tripping out Flora for giggles. They messed with Kiko too so Bloom chased him into her room where they got another Sirenix hint. This time about the flower of the depths. She comes out and Flora somehow knows it's about her. Aww, that's no fun. Stella calls driving the Odyssey Explorer. Have I mentioned Stella is my favorite character? Anyway, the specialists all jump off the bikes and the bikes turn into angry lions. Then the Winx decide to split up-- Bloom, Aisha, and Tecna will stay and deal with the lions, and Stella, Musa, and Flora will go to Lynphea. Also, somehow we only have three days left to get the last gem.

So at Lynphea we see the prettiest swamp marsh thing in the world. I want to just live in it. Stella's driving the Odyssey Explorer but she messes up and Flora asks her if she even knows how to drive it. Stella answers, "I said I wanted to drive it, not that I knew how!" I love Stella.

We come to a stop and Flora explains that some of the plants down there can be 'wild' which also means carnivorous. We get a cute little oh out of Stella and Musa then we dive. Where's Roy?
Back at Alfea the girls are all fighting the lions and they should be able to defeat them but for some reason they keep using kinda useless magic. Why would you make a Morphix hurdle Aisha, they're lions, they can just jump over it?

But then Sky says he has a plan. Oh boy. Are we really trusting the boy that didn't know if he had ever ridden a horse a few minutes ago? Also, he said "I rule at wind-riding, don't you remember?" and Bloom responded, "Yes, I remember!" That was cheesy. I love Winx Club.

Now at Lynphea again, we have dived (dived? diven?) into the water and Stella thinks a fish is a carnivorous plant trying to eat her. But it's not. It's a fish. Musa responds with, "It's a test of courage, Stella." I think Musa is my favorite character for this Season specifically.

So we see this big flower house that looks like it came out of Barbie Fairytopia and Flora heads on in. She starts talking to the flower of the depths which is inside (and I keep spelling depths depthes, thank goodness for spellcheck) but then it turns all oily and mutant. Oh, also, I didn't mention it but earlier Flora bonded with a selkie. It's name was like Daisy Reef or something. I couldn't understand it.

The mutant flower thing grabs Flora and tries to kill her??? Stella attacks it but then Flora insists they don't since she thinks she can get to it. ...Flora, you need all the help you can get right now. You're in a flower vine.

Flora manages to get it from the inside and turn it good again. That was a little too easy, but eh. The flower waves and does some motions that for some reason Flora can't understand. Wasn't that your thing, Flora?? So we get out our Sirenix box to translate. It does part of it then it goes back into it's box then it comes back out and says it got overexcited. That's not something you do when you get excited, Sirenixbox. Imagine when I bought a new doll I was excited to open it and I just hid in my box. See.

So basically the plant said something like, You were very brave Flora, you deserve to find the Gem of Courage. DESERVE. HA. Anyway it also said the Sirenix book would give the last clue soon so. Better be soon since apparently three days.

Back to Alfea! Sky has Bloom stand in front of the flaming cages since Bloom is who they're after, she calls them over, they're about to rip her to shreds when Sky flys by and grabs her and the lions each land in one of the three flaming cages (how coincidental) and are turned back into bikes. I don't really understand why that works but whatever. It worked.

The Trix are angry and Sky wants to take Bloom out on a ride since he won the competition somehow. They decide to go down to Roccalucce (SPELLING??!) Gorge and they ride off.

AISHA SAYS "LOOK, THERE SHE GOES WITH PRETTY BOY"

Since when do you hate Sky Aisha?!>?!? Was that one of the Trix talking or something did I miss something?! That was Aisha wasn't it?! Aisha what's wrong!!?

So uh, we're heading down to Roccalucce Gorge. Now Bloom and Sky know how to scream. Good job, Matt Shively and Molly Quinn. Anyway, the Trix come and shoot down their bike and they fall off a cliff. Wow.

Bloom faints or falls over or something when they land and I mean I can't even blame her we just fell off a cliff. The Trix show themselves and Sky gets angry and so does Bloom who is dizzy and can barely stand up. Sky decides he will protect Bloom but Icy freezes his feet to the ground.

Meanwhile Tecna and Aisha are still at Alfea and they're worried about Bloom and Sky (I just called Bloom Blomo oh goodness.) so they call up either Musa or Stella, I can't tell. And they say they're coming back and will be home in a few minutes.

So we're back at the gorge and they're about to destroy Sky to pieces but Bloom jumps in front of him and takes the hit. Now Tecna and Aisha arrive ready to kick some butt.

So basically Bloom and Sky are safe now and now Stella, Flora, and Musa arrives and everyone except Bloom and Sky fight the Trix. The highlight is that Aisha just grabbed Icy with her Morphix rope and slams her into a wall full speed. Aisha is amazing.

Fight ends, Trix go home and we have a lovey-dovey moment with Bloom and Sky where Bloom talks about how she's afraid he'll never remember, but she'll love him all the same and they should stop trying to save the past and embrace their future and make new memories together. They hug and kiss and agree to remember her saving him at the gorge, defeating the lions at alfea, and-- THIS KISS aww.

Next episode preview! Heading to Domino this time. Looks like the test is something about facing their fears?? We've done that lots of times but I love doing that so let's do it again. Also, we get to see Bloom's parents in 2d woohoo.

Thanks for reading, sorry it's up late!! Next week I'll post another one, and this week I plan to post another doll review. :) So be sure to check back!!
