Winx Club - Episode 224

Darkar's Prisoner is the twenty-fourth episode of the second season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
After the events of the last episode, the Winx Club prepare to go back to the Under Realm for the last time and the pixies go with them. They prepare to board the ship but Tecna notices it's too big to fit in the caves.

Sky had an idea Brandon didn't like at first: Ask Queen Amentia for help since her Guard Worm was as big as the ship and they could use it to burrow through to Shadowhaunt.

Brandon objected at first since he remembered how forceful Amentia was and didn't want to go back but then he saw there was no other way.

Brandon, Sky and Aisha went ahead to get approval from the Queen while the others followed behind. While Brandon, Sky and Aisha got to see the Queen again, the others had to get out of a trap set by the witches.

After beating Amentia, she agreed to help, and fight alongside, the Winx Club. In a B-story Darkar uses his evil and dark magic to corrupt Bloom again, turning her into her evil alter-ego, Dark Bloom.
