Netflix
The Winx need to get Musa's voice back from Rumpelstiltskin, but he demands something from them that they are not prepared to give.

Plot
The Winx, excluding Musa, continues to battle with Rumpelstiltskin, even trying to pull off a Mythix Convergence. When Rumpelstiltskin hears Aisha saying that they can defeat him because he is just like one of the creatures the Trix conjures, he disagrees. He says that he is actually not having any agreements with the witch es. And so, the Winx thinks of reasoning with him. According to him, the only way to get back Musa's voice is to trade it with something equally special. They cannot think of anything special until Stella tells them about the Legendarium Key. When Rumpelstiltskin hears of this, he will take nothing but the key to return the voice back to Musa. Tecna then says that they need more time to talk about the transaction. Not understanding Tecna's technical words, the dwarf lets them off.

In the yard of Alfea, the pixies try to cheer up Musa. They see the Winx return and ask if they have the flask where Rumpelstiltskin hides the voice. They say "no". The five girls begin to argue about the trade they have to make, if they are going to choose their friend or the key.

In the Music Cafe, Musa plays the piano to take her mind off her voice. The girls, who are practicing to become musicians, plays along with her. The Winx comes in to party. With the atmosphere better, the magic of the music instruments begins to reveal once again. This gives Bloom the idea that they can still defend Alfea with it, and that is by having a concert.

In the gym, Riven and Sky fight for the position of the leader of the Specialists having a fencing duel. Sky wins.

In the invisible Cloud Tower, the Trix still argues about the big-headed Rumpelstiltskin. When Selina tells them that, at least, Rumpelstiltskin is indeed clever and that he did steal Musa's voice as they commanded him, Darcy thinks that there is no way the fairies can defend Alfea anymore, and that it is the right time to attack. And so, they summon their chosen witches to the Dragon Skull. They tell the witches that they are about to give the most important quality of a witch to them, power. They use the magic in the Dragon Skull to bless the witches with intangibility. This way, they cannot be hit with any direct attack when they conquer Alfea.

At Alfea, everyone is preparing for the concert, even Daphne and Thoren who makes the concert a chance to have a date. During the concert, the witches suddenly attack, causing the fairies to panic. The Winx transforms while the Specialists and the Paladins prepare to fight them. Whenever they attack, their spells just pass right through them. Musa begins to conduct and the fairies play their instruments. Musa controls the music and uses it to attack the witches and defend Alfea. The sound weakens the witches, causing them to flee. While everyone is coming back, the Winx sees Rumpelstiltskin, so they follow him. Musa and the fairies bow their heads to thank the audiences' applause. Musa sees Riven and she pushes him away despite his praise for what she did. He tells her that he was not there when she needs him because of he was blinded by his ambition to become the leader of the Specialists. And so, he says that she needs someone better.

In their room, the Winx, back to their regular clothes, makes sure that Rumpelstiltskin has not yet taken the Legendarium Key and thanks Eldora, for she made a vault that can protect the key. The dwarf appears and tells them they do not have much time to discuss their trade. Eldora also appears with her earphones on, telling the concert music already has a remix. She then removes the earphones and tells the Winx to remember what is truly more important before she vanishes. The Winx are enlightened that Musa is their friend even when she is in her gravest moment. And as their friend, they must help her as well. Bloom gives him the key, and he breaks the bottle to free the voice.

In front of the gate of Alfea, Riven continues to tell Musa how awful he is both as a specialist and as her boyfriend. The voice comes back, enabling Musa to tell Riven that she forgives him. Riven says to her that he needs a time out first to become a hero again. He is about to leave when the Winx, the Specialists and the Paladins appear. Bloom asks where he is going. He answers that he has some work to do and that he has to do it alone. Sky wishes him good fortune while Riven tells that he is always there with them, then he leaves Alfea.
