Winx Club - Episode 205

Rescuing the Pixies (Magic Bonding in the Italian Version) Is the fifth episode of the second season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
Layla, Bloom, Stella, and Sky successfully reach ShadowHaunt. Layla then literally swings into the main citadel to rescue the Pixies. Before the others could reach the main citadel, they get confronted by the Trix, now armed with the Gloomix. Bloom, Stella, and Sky were shocked to see the Trix free from Light Haven, but then the three vindictive witches attacks. Even with Layla rejoining the battle, they were no match for the Trix's latest power upgrade. Before the Trix could finish them, they get defeated by a mysterious paladin, who then frees Bloom, Stella, Sky, and Layla, then leaves as quickly as he had arrived. Afterwards, the Pixies then fly out and reunite with Layla. It was then that Lockette bonds with Bloom and Amore with Stella. Now with the Pixie rescue completed, they now have to complete another before heading home: rescue Brandon from a loveless marriage with Amentia.

Trivia

 * 4Kids had Stella crash into what Sky had found out was petrified monster droppings. In Rai, she crashed into REAL rocks, but Sky said that those were dangerously brittle and that if they were any denser, Stella would have broken her neck.
 * In RAI, Bloom mentions she once spent a summer at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. In the 4kids version, she mentioned she went to an unnamed Water Park.
