Stella and Brandon tease each other about the amount of people have flirted with. Bloom goes off on her own to find Professor Avalon, which upsets Sky.

Darkar pans to use this opportunity to get the Red Fountain's piece of the Codex. He would need a distraction to allow the Trix to get the piece, so he transforms Kerbog into a monster, Ledragarus. The Trix transform into disguises and enters Red Fountain.

The Winx and specialists enter the stadium and Brandon introduces the Winx to Helia. Helia is a returning student to Red Fountain, as he had dropped out to pursue the arts. It is revealed that he is Saldin's nephew. Flora and Helia become affectionate with each other, as Amore and Chatta hint at it.

Bloom is still looking for Avalon with Lockette. They pass the Trix who are in disguise, but Bloom does not notice however Lockette seems suspicious.

The ceremony starts right as Bloom finds the Winx, and Red Fountain is transformed into an improved school, which now flies in the air. The ceremony takes a break, allow the Specialist to prepare for a presentation. The Winx lay back, Tecna playing a game, as Musa and Aisha go get a drink. They also pass the Trix and start to chase them but fail.

Soon Specialists start to battle each other. Sky and Riven battle, and Sky wins. Brandon is about to start his match but is interrupted by the Leodragus. The Winx transform and battle with the Specialist. Flora is blindsided by the monster and is about to be attacked but Helia saves her by holding the monster back. However, he lets go of the monster, angering the Winx. The Leodragus is defeated.

Icy discovers the Codex room, but fails to get the Codex since the room is too heavily gaurded.
