Winx Club - Episode 212

Truth or Dare (Together for Victory in the Italian Version) Is the twelfth episode of the Second Season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
The episode begins with Miss Faragonda holding a special class about Convergence. After the class Bloom, Stella and Musa meet Jared, a boy from Red Fountain who was set up on a date with Musa by Stella.

Musa was not happy about it until she heard that he was the editor of the "Red Fountain Sentinal" (his school's newspaper) and instead of a date, they should hang out so he could interview Musa. After the hangout moment Musa scolds Stella for setting her up with a guy without asking for permission.

Meanwhile in Shadowhaunt Stormy informs Lord Darkar it was Darcy's birthday today and, as a present, she wants him to send her to Alfea and wreak some havoc. Darkar approves of this.

At the convergence class Flora and Tecna were partnered up but their convergence didn't work. Neither did Layla and Musa's nor Stella and Bloom's. So, for a surprise, Miss Faragonda has the girls go through a special test in the Magical Reality Chamber. Stella had an idea on how to get the girls to bond better: have a slumber party.

But when she accidentally said "five of us", which inadvertently excluded Layla, Layla bursts into tears and ran out the door. Musa went to comfort Layla and she gladly accepted her invitation to Stella's slumber party. Back at Red Fountain Darcy hypnotizes Jared with a magic crystal. That night Stella told a story from the days of her youth: her first crush, unfortunately it didn't end the way she wanted it.

In the MRC (Magical Reality Chamber), Darcy channeled her power through Jared and sabotaged it. The next day the winx girls began their convergence test. Unfortunately the test didn't go as planned thanks to Darcy's meddling.

The Winx had to fight a giant monster by making a titan of their own and each of the girls put a power into it: Layla made the body, Flora gave it support, Tecna gave it brainpower, Stella gave it sight, Bloom gave it a will to fight, and Musa gave it the ability to speak.

The girls learned convergence and passed with flying colors. Jared apologizes to Musa for wrecking their test and Musa forgives him because it wasn't his fault. After that The Winx congratulate themselves for being an awesome team.
