Netflix
The girls discover that the Wizards of the Black Circle have stolen magic from Earth, and that there is only one last fairy that they are looking for.

Plot
At Alfea, Palladium sets up a hologram, detailing the Fairy Hunters' history and how they captured the Earth Fairies and took their powers. Faragonda relays the story to the Winx. She summarizes that the Earth Fairies lost to the Wizards due to a spell the latter created which provided immunity against fairy magic. With this spell, they stripped the fairies of their wings and sapped their magic from them. Even the Major Fairies, Guardians of the Forces of Nature, failed to defeat them. As such, the essence of magic disappeared and humans forgot about fairies.

Not willing to let a planet and its life forms fall into the hands of Evil, the Winx decide to find the Last Earth Fairy. And hopefully, before the Wizards do. Faragonda then tells them that there are people waiting to see them outside - the Specialists!

The girls greet their boyfriends and Sky surprises Bloom by being there. But their time together is cut short as Faragonda reminds them that their mission needs to get started. After they leave and out of earshot, Faragonda asks the Specialists to tag along and keep an eye on the Winx without them knowing. The Winx are nervous about their mission and through Tecna's research come across the Tree of Life. Flora explains that this tree symbolizes all magical life and could be the key to locating the Last Earth Fairy. She tells her friends that the Pixies guard this tree.

The Winx fly to Pixie Village and find it deserted. They miniaturize to go into one of the houses and find Piff asleep. A monster then comes into the village and the Winx use their Enchantix powers to defeat it.

When nightfall hits, the Winx have set up camp but are concerned for their missing Pixie friends. The monster returns and Aisha takes shelter with Piff who continues to have nightmares. The Winx battle the monster but Stella is swallowed by it. They find out all the pixies are also trapped inside the monster’s stomach and the Winx use convergence against the monster but it is useless. Aisha finds a Dream Eater Butterfly feeding on Piff's nightmares and invoking the nightmare to life. When she removes the butterfly, the monster disappears and the Winx reunite with the pixies.

The pixies then take the Winx to the Tree of Life. Flora connects with the Tree of Life and locates the last fairy who resides in Gardenia. The pixies wanted to come along with the Winx, but they will not let them because it is too dangerous. The Winx then set out to find the last fairy.

Quotes
"Their goal was to rule the world by controlling the nature's forces. They created a powerful spell which made them immune to fairies' magic. This way they could capture the fairies, steal their wings and drain the magic from them."

- Faragonda

"Well, I don't think we should be ashamed of our fear! Facing our fears is what makes us braver right?"
