Winx Club - Episode 112

Miss Magix is the twelfth episode of the first season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
The Miss Magix contest is on the horizon and Stella plans to make a clean sweep. After not quite making the cut the previous year, she's determined to win.

So determined, in fact, that she missed her exam in the simulator. She reveals to the Winx that she's going to enter, Bloom tries to get her to study, but she and the other Winx are instead convinced to accompany Stella.

Lucy, one of the witches from Cloud Tower, also wants to enter, and solicits help from the Trix.

When Icy tells them that they are going to do a 'good deed' -- by making Lucy more attractive -- Darcy and Stormy are confused, but then she explains the conclusion of the plan: As Lucy is crowned Miss Magix, they will break the spell and reveal Lucy's true self.

The contestants all perform a special skill, but the Trix sabotage each one of them, except Lucy, who peformed a stunning ballet routine, and Stella, who managed to dodge every sabotage attempt during her performance.

Ultimately, Lucy is crowned the winner, but the Trix keep there promise and ends the night their way: breaking the beauty spell and exposing Lucy. Stella is then crowned the new Miss Magix. She wants to celebrate, but Bloom reminds her of a certain promise she had forgotten: STUDY!

Because of her lack of attention of what she was doing due to fatigue of pulling an all-nighter, Stella added too much of a grass-growing formula. She got trapped and unfortunately failed the test. Bloom encourages her that she still has time to catch up on her grades. The girls then get excited about the upcoming summer break.
