Trivia

 * In the Italian Version, Bloom uses her powers to cut her dress shorter, since she could not find a pair of scissors, but instead starts a fire.
 * In the 4Kids version, when Stella is about to pay for Bloom's first dress choice, Flora reminds her that she maxed out her credit card. In the RAI version, Flora tells Stella not to offer to pay for the dress because she might offend Bloom.
 * In both the 4Kids and RAI versions Stella's line about the dress is that same. She tells the other Winx that that dress was calling: "Buy me! Buy me please!"

Quotes
''What it once was, let it be again! What it once was, let it be again! What it once was, let it be again!''

- RAI version of Winx countering the Trix's spell

Stella: "It was calling: Buy me! Buy me please!"

Musa: "And of course you answered, how very noble of you."

Let all the dark magic be reversed, make the eggs like they were before they were curse!

- 4Kids Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, and Tecna counterspell the Trix's spell

Unbelievvable! They counterspelled us!?! How dare those freashman counterspell us!

Let's go get them!

No, we have to stay focus! We're here to get the Solaria Ring, and once we do that, we'll be the most powerful witches in all the eight realms!
