Synopsis
Roxy staring at a picture of Manuel.
It is sunset at Alfea, where Roxy is standing by herself on a balcony. She stares at a picture of a boy on her phone and walks back inside.
As she walks through the school building by herself, she bumps into Musa, who tells her that they will be meeting up for lunch in about ten minutes. Roxy tries to walk away by telling Musa that she does not think she will be able to make it, but Musa stops her to ask if she is feeling sick. Roxy tells her that it is just because she does not want to and rushes off in the other direction. Musa heads downstairs by herself, confused by Roxy's behavior.
She first meets up with Barbatea to give her the books that she asked for. After Barbatea thanks her, Musa leaves to meet up with her friends.
Soon enough, Musa catches the rest of the Winx in a nearby hallway. She greets them and Bloom asks her if she will be leaving with them. Musa confirms this and then Bloom asks if Roxy will be joining them. Musa reveals that she bumped into Roxy a while ago but she said she was not hungry. Bloom asks if this means she will be skipping dinner and Musa claims so, but suspects that something is not right with Roxy. Bloom is about to suggest that they help Roxy until she is interrupted by Stella, who claims to know what is wrong with Roxy. She claims that Roxy may be in love and that, as her friends, they should figure out who the special guy is.
Later that day, the Winx are stuck in another one of Professor Wizgiz's Metamorphosymbiosis classes. As Wizgiz tries to get someone to come up to the board, Stella can barely sit still as she desperately needs the class to end. Bloom assures her that class will end in just a few minutes and, soon enough, the bell signalling the end of class finally goes off. The girls quickly make it out into the corridors, where Stella asks if any of them can see Roxy. Tecna points out that Roxy is standing by herself by one of the windows and Stella goes off on her own to confront Roxy.
She asks if Roxy is alright, to which Roxy claims that she is. Stella then claims that she is conducting a survey to figure out what kind of guy each and every student likes. Roxy still seems distant, so Stella asks if Roxy has a guy she likes. Roxy claims that she does not know and then leaves, telling Stella that she does not like that type of survey. When Stella regroups with the Winx, Tecna asks how it went. Stella is frustrated that she could not get an answer out of Roxy and Bloom suggests that they should not meddle in Roxy's affairs. However, Stella claims that she is not meddling and that they cannot help Roxy if they do not know what the problem is.
Two days later, Bloom runs into Roxy and sees that she is crying. She asks what is wrong, to which Roxy explains that she did pretty badly on her mathemagic test. She claims that she cannot understand anything in the class and it ended up ruining her high average. Bloom assures Roxy that these things happen to everyone but Roxy insists that everything has been going from bad to worse lately. Bloom offers to help her talk about these problems but Roxy claims that she needs to go and walks off crying.
In the cafeteria, the Winx try to figure out what could be troubling Roxy so much. Aisha asks if it is really due to getting a low grade in Wizgiz's latest test and Tecna expresses her worries. Flora insists that Wizgiz's tests are not so bad and that Roxy must have done poorly if she got a low grade. Aisha points out that Roxy claimed to have been getting low grades in all of her subjects and Stella insists that she was right all along; claiming that if one's heart is not putting in the effort, then the brain will not either. She further insists that Roxy needs their help and Bloom agrees, wanting to help Roxy as well. Bloom then proposes that they send their fairy pets to Roxy's dorm to investigate and Stella, now eager, claims that they will do it tonight.
That evening, in fact, Bloom goes over what the fairy pets need to do: first, they need to figure out whether Roxy is really in love or not and, if she is, look for the name of the boy she is in love with. She then sends the fairy pets out as Stella eagerly awaits the news. The fairy pets fly out of the Winx's dorm through the balcony doors and fly into Roxy's, where she is trying to study.
The fairy pets visit Roxy.
Happy to see the fairy pets visiting, Roxy asks what they are doing in her dorm. The pets snuggle her face, giving Belle a chance to flip through Roxy's notebook. As Roxy tries to tell the fairy pets that she needs to study, Belle finds a page with the name "Manuel" written with hearts around it. Roxy pets Coco as she tells the pets that she was happy to see them and hopes they come back to visit again as they fly out.
Back at the Winx's dorm, the girls try to figure out who Manuel could possibly be. Stella wonders who he is since she has never heard of someone with that name, but no one else knows; it is only the name that Belle copied down. Bloom asks Belle one more time if she saw the name in Roxy's diary, to which Belle confirms. Musa then remembers that she has heard of a boy named Manuel before and suspects that he may be a student at Red Fountain. Tecna brings up her phone to talk to Timmy about all of it.
She calls Timmy and asks him about Manuel. Timmy confirms that Manuel does attend Red Fountain and further explains that he is a second year who hangs out with witches from Cloud Tower. Tecna confirms that Manuel is a Specialist and Stella urges Tecna to ask for a photo of him. Tecna does so and Timmy claims that there may be one in Manuel's personal file on the school system, but he is unsure if he should send it due to Manuel most likely wanting to keep his privacy. Tecna claims that this is for a good cause and Stella wants to know if he got a picture or not. Tecna asks Timmy to describe Manuel's appearance, asking if he is also a good guy, and Timmy claims that Manuel is really tall and looks like Brandon but with blonde hair. He claims that he cannot say if Manuel is handsome or not, but Sky and Helia, who are sitting with Timmy in the cafeteria, tease Brandon by claiming that Manuel is much more handsome than he is. That is when Stella grabs the phone and accuses them of lying as no one can be more handsome than her Brandon. Tecna grabs her phone back and asks Timmy to just send a picture of Manuel to make it easier.
Once she gets the picture, Tecna shows it to the rest of the Winx. Stella agrees about Manuel being handsome and Aisha recognizes his face, claiming to have seen him several times at the White Horse. She explains that he is always hanging around of group of witches and may even like one of the witches; the one named Rachel. Aisha asks if Musa knows of a witch named Rachel and Musa confirms this, claiming that she came into her music hall with friends one time. Stella asks if Manuel was with her that time and Musa claims that he was not but Rachel is a rather "interesting" girl; one who gets a lot of attention from guys. Stella laments over this as it will surely make Roxy feel even worse, but Bloom believes that Roxy may have a chance with Manuel. She claims that Roxy is a great girl and Stella adds that Roxy is very outgoing with friends but tends to be shy around others. Stella then claims that it will be easier to help Roxy now that they know what their end goal is.
